A New Life!

Lila went to sit up however her back was so sore she just fell back down and rolled off the bed. At that moment Nick walked into the room.

"AAAHHHH" Lila screamed and she pushed herself back against the bed.

"Hey it's alright I'm not going to hurt you. My name's Nick. We met earlier. What's your name?"

Lila tried once more and managed to stand up shakily. Then she fell over again. Luckily Nick grabbed her before she hit the floor.

"That was a close one. Now I've told you this and I'll tell you again. I am NOT going to hurt you. Can you please tell me your name?"

"Li... Lila. Lila Rowasky."

"Thank you."

"Where am I?"

"You're at my place. I didn't know where else to take you. I saw you lying in the park. You looked so fragile so I didn't wake you. Who knows what would have happened if I didn't bring you here. There are all sorts of criminals hanging around here just waiting for someone innocent like you to come along and then...well you know what this place is like. Try not to make a habit of falling asleep in parks. It could lead to disaster."

"Ok I wont."

"So what brings you here to Las Vegas?"

"I ran away from home. And I'm not going back."

"Won't your parents be worried about you?"

"They died in a car crash three years ago. I've been staying with my sister Annette since then. But then when she lost her fiancée she went crazy. She started drinking and she became a hooker. That's how I got the money to come here. I stole money from her purse every week when she got paid. Then I put it away and now I'm here. I just got on the bus and didn't get off till the last stop. Which just happened to be Las Vegas."

"Fair enough. Can I ask you a question?"

"You just did." She laughed.

"Yeah I know. But seriously. Are you sure you don't know anyone by the name of Sara Sidle?" Nick asked.

"Did you just say Sidle?"

"Yeah why. Does it ring any bells?"

"Do you have a picture of her?"

"Sure. Just give me a sec."

He stood up and walked over to the cupboard. He brought over a photo of him and Sara on their wedding day.

"Oh God!" Lila cried. "Where's my bag?"

"Here." Nick picked up her bag and gave it to her. She reached in and pulled out a photograph. Which had been torn in half. She placed it up against the other photo and gasped.

"What is it?" Nick asked and he leant over and gasped when he saw the picture.

"They look exactly the same. How did you get a picture of Sara?"

"This isn't a picture of Sara. This is my Sister Annette."

"But that means..."

"Sara is my Aunty. And if you're married to her...that makes you my uncle" Lila jumped up and hugged him.

"Wow. This is big. This is really big. Wait until Sara finds out."

"Yeah. She'll be in for a shock." Lila replied.

Ok so this one is probably very bad cause I wrote it at 9:30 at night when I got home from basketball. So I hope you like it!

Jess!
