Only two more chapters left! NOOO!! I've had a lot of fun creating my first story, so I'm kinda sad it's ending.

But life goes on!

Read and Review please!

Chapter 11: Search and Rescue

Nat: Yes officer, this was not the first time it's happened.

Police Officer: Well, if you can get me either an eyewitness or visible proof, we can bring this girl's mother to court.

Nat: Would injuries be considered proof?

Police Officer: I'm afraid not young man.

Nat: I think I have a witness.

Police Officer: Will the witness be able to discuss the issue?

Nat: Yes sir.

Police Officer: We'll be right over.

Nat: Thank you sir.

Nat hung up right as Rosalina was waking up from her three hour nap.

Rosalina: Who was that?

Nat: The police. They're coming to arrest your mom.

Rosalina: Arrest my mom? But we have no proof that she beat me!

Nat: No, but we do have Seth as an eyewitness. But Rosalina, how long has your mom been like this?

Rosalina: About since my dad died, which was 10 years ago.

Nat: What! 10 years! Since you were six! And she's like this with Seth too?

Rosalina: Yeah, she blames us for dad's death.

Nat: Why haven't you called the police?

Rosalina: Because, Nat! If either of us called the police we would be sent to a foster home! Which means we would have to move, and I would be away from you. I would rather be beaten every day then be away from you.

At that, Nat softly walked up to Rosalina, brought her into his arms, and tenderly kissed her on the mouth. While he held her and stroked her hair, Rosalina could swear she felt a tear drop into her hair and when she looked up, she saw tears streaming down Nat's face, but he was smiling.

Rosalina: Why are you crying?

Nat: I'm just so touched that you care about me that much. I never knew you loved me as much as I love you, but now I do.

Rosalina: Of course I do! I love you more than my own life!

They began softly kissing each other, as if they didn't want to hurt each other, then broke apart at the sound of the doorbell ringing.

Nat: Let's put an end to this mess once and for all.

And the two lovebirds headed downstairs where there destiny would change.

Awww, how sweet. I'm really happy by the reviews I've been getting, and thanks a bunch to my recent reviewer, letter00. But I'm also kinda sad, because there's only one chapter left, and then the epilogue. Boo hoo.
