" What are you doing here Lauren?!" Abby asked breathlessly. She noticed that Lauren looked completely calm, unlike herself.
"I graduated." Lauren said simply. "I'm old enough now, so I left that prison of a school and came to see you."
"I'm, I'm sorry about that, did you get the birthday card I sent you?"
"Abby, we both know you didn't send me a birthday card." Lauren was right Abby hadn't. It would have been too painful; she just stopped and stared at her shoes. "Look Abby I gotta go run some errands while I'm here, do you wanna meet up later?"
"Sure, I'm off at six, where are you staying?" Abby enquired.
"Your place?" They both smiled, Lauren was just as forward as usual. A perfect difference to Abby. Although they had their differences, they also had so many similarities.

Abby watched Lauren leave, still not believing she was here. It had been six years since the goodbye. Six years since she had been taken away. She was only twelve.

Carter approached Abby, curious as to whom the mysterious girl was Abby greeted with so much happiness.
"Who was that?" Carter asked, pretending to be entirely detached.
"Umm..My sister, that was my sister Lauren."
"You never mentioned that you had a sister, I thought you only have a brother?"
"Um, it's complicated." Abby finished; making it clear she didn't wish to elaborate. Lauren was a mystery to her now, they didn't know each other anymore.


Abby was surprised to see Lauren smoking as she waited patiently for Abby who was 20 minutes late thanks to trauma.
"Those things will kill you, you know" Abby said with a grin as she sat down. Lauren didn't seem amused though and instead just offered Abby the packet. Abby took one with great relief, she had no authority over Lauren and also no right to tell her to put it out. Too much had gone on. Abby was lucky that smoking was all Lauren appeared to be doing, with all she'd been through it could have been a lot worse.

Mail me! R&R....what did you think? I'm keeping them short because Lauren has one hell of a story and I want you guys to understand it!
