OMG! I am sooooooo sorry. I am a horrible updater and I KNOW it. There are probably tons of mistakes in this one. I just really want to put it up. Please comment it would mean the world (not that I deserve it XD).

Chapter ten: confrontation numero dos; Miranda

Miranda and I strode out of the gate both eager to see our family members. I hadn't seen my sister in about 15 months. I missed her…

"MIRANDA! CHARLIE!"

Her scream, though, not so much.

"LAYLA!" "MOM!" Mir' and I responded in unison.

"Oh my girls! I've missed you both so much!"

We had a small group hug then I detached my self to hug Ron, my brother in law. Then he hugged his daughter. And finally we were heading back to their house. We did the regular "how are you" and "what's new" and then the time came. On the plane ride Miranda had asked me to be with her when she talked to her parents about…her parents.

"Mom…Dad…there's something I want to ask you."

"What is it Miranda, darling?" my sister asked.

"Well, first I want you to know that I love you very much and nothing is going to change that."

"We love you too hunny." My in-law stated confused.

"What I want to say is that…I want to meet…erm…the people who gave birth to me. My rea-biological parents."

List of the different reactions they might have:

"Meet your biological parents? Well alright. But are sure you're ready for this?"

"WHAT THERER IS NO WAY THAT IS EVER GOING TO HAPPEN…"

"W-w-what? Ron we are going to be replaced" snif "WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

"Oh" My sister said I little shocked. "Well we always knew this was going to happen we just never thought it would so soon. Well sweetie, we will defiantly try to get them to meet with you."

"But sweetheart, you have to brace your self. They might not be who you think they are. The kind of people you would want them to be."

"I know dad. Thank you, you two, for…understanding."

"Well of course"

A moment of very awkward silence followed…

"I'm going to go to bed. Erm… Ill see you all in the morning." I said.

"'Night Charlie" three voices rang behind me as I ascended the stairs.

When I got to the guest room I called Casey who was more exited to speak to Layla than me so naturally she annoyed me till I went and gave the phone to Layla. As they spoke a thought occurred to me. Well I sort of just wondered…"What was HE doing right now?".

Jonny Mathews sat at his desk chair taping his foot quickly. The boy was nervous to say the least. He attempted to do his homework but the word© page in front of him stayed blank. He couldn't even remember the topic of his project. He was busy. His face might have been expressionless but in his mind, all was going haywire. He was trying to get a vision. To make sure she was safe. But he wasn't getting anything helpful. He got bits an pieces here and there like her getting of the plane, entering the house of her sister, talking about her nieces biological parents, heading to bed, falling asleep. Nothing that indicated the danger she was in… and she was unquestionably in danger. Jonny had started thinking about the fact that all that was happening to her weren't coincidences. That maybe, just maybe, someone was after her. He didn't know who though, or why. He wished his parents were home, they could help him, but they were out with Cory's parents, halfway across the country…something about the business. See Jonny's parents and Cory's had been best friends since elementary. This would explain how he and Cory met eachother. They have been best friends since diapers. Then his parents had David, his brother and then Cory's parents had Maya. Allison came further in time. So much had happened to that girl… it wasn't fair. It still angered Jonny. He wished he could once again come face to face with her torturer, so he could finish him. Jonny shook his head wanting to rid himself from these thoughts. He sighed still tapping his foot concentrating once more on the girl that was driving him crazy: Charlie.

"Rise and shine darlings!" I heard Layla yell in the house. Probably trying to wake Ron and Miranda up. "Charlie, come on! Up up up!" And me?

I groaned as I lifted my body and supported myself with my arms, still lying in bed. I really just wanted to sleep. I felt exhausted and all my muscles ached. The door slammed open.

"Oh good you're up." Said my beloved sister.

"Only thanks to you" I spat.

"Breakfast is ready. Chocolate chip pancakes."

A smile broke across my face. I haven't had home made pancakes in forever. I mean Cones' pancakes are good but it's not the same. I quickly got up ready to spend the day with my sister and brother in law. Boy did I miss them. It's not easy living miles and miles away from someone with whom you grew up with. My sister and I were the bickering kind when we were really young. When my dad died we just…got closer. Her, Casey and I were inseparable. She met Ron while she was still in high school. They were that couple that everyone who weren't happy for them envied. Scratch that, even those who were happy for them envied the two. Not only were they high school sweet hearts but their love lasted all through college. Then they got married. When they realized they couldn't conceive a child they decided to adopt. They weren't really saddened for they had wanted to adopt in the first place but decided to wait until the second child. So anyway, they decided to move to Florida because they both had great job offers there. …and so they live happily ever after… The truth is, even I envied Layla. She just happened to be lucky enough to find 'the one' easily. The smell of pancakes pulled me out of my thoughts and I soon skipped down the stairs after brushing my teeth.

"You know you guys' mattress is really comfortable." I informed them. "Too bad I only get to enjoy it for one more night."

"You really should stay longer Charlie. We all miss you terribly." Ron said.

"You know school Ronald; it won't give anyone a break." He shot me a look for the nickname that I used to use years ago.

"Don't tease him, C'" Layla said. I hadn't heard her call me that since the day of her wedding. It felt…nice.

"So what are we doing today?" I asked. "I want to take advantage of my mini vacation.

"We could go to the beach." proposed Miranda.

"The beach it is, then." Both Ron and Layla said. Then they turned to look lovingly at each other. I could faintly hear Mir' making gagging sounds but I was too wrapped up in my own thoughts. He had suddenly entered my mind. I have no idea why. I just started thinking about him, about the fact that I had to apologize. What on earth was I going to say? "Hey Jonny, I just wanted to say sorry for treating you like I did when you were only trying to save my life using your super power that allowed you to see into the future. We're cool now right?"

We were just getting back from the diner. We went to the beach in the morning, then to the mall (where Layla bought me two beautiful dresses, one of the everyday kind and another for an event, and I got Casey and I two awesome flashy colored sunglasses.). When we were done with the mall, Ron left to make some calls, trying to contact Miranda's parents. So, we three girls decided to go eat out. Anyway, we were just getting back and Miranda rushed up to her room and Layla to her husband. I went to the guest room to drop off my bang and change my attire to the sweats I was wearing the day prior and a baggy t-shirt. I then skipped merrily to Miranda's room. Opening the door with out knocking (I wouldn't consider it rude as she did the same multiple times at my house back in NY. We had just grown closer that way.). What I saw though made me freeze in shock. She was floating. There was the ground, then some space, then Miranda. She was standing in front of her closet reaching for something.

"Mir'?"

She dropped to the ground obviously in shock and spun around to face me.

"Charlie?"

We just stared.

We had been staring at each other for at least 5 minutes. I had made a small list of the different explanation that would…explain this.

Explanations:

I'm delusional.

That's it.

"Charlie?" Her voice was hesitant. "Look I can explain."

"I…"

"C'. It's just something I can do."

That's when I remembered. It just hit me. It's not like I want to go live with my biological parents I just want to know who they are, what they can do.

"You think your real parents can do something like…this?"

"Yeah."

"Oh"

"Oh? That's it? I CAN FLY! All you have to say is 'oh'."

"Trust me hun', I'm not new to th― I mean, what do you want me to say? This is pretty awesome." I smiled at her and I think it made her more at ease.

"It is?"

"Totally."

Alright so next chapter is the beginning of the cute couple's friendship. Am I saying too much? After maybe 4-5 chapters the characters will be "hunting down" the "killer". I really think no one will see it coming.
