Two years had past, and Lauren hadn't seen her sister or father since the day they had left and her world was broken. All she wanted to was to know if they were okay and how Brandie was making out with out the rest of her family. Her mother had promised that one day they would go and visit them, but it was a lie. Adeline Stanwood had become to caught up in her new boy friend, Devon Fergeau. He had convinced her that by the time her children were four they would be able to look after themselves, basically leaving Lauren and Meggie to fend for themselves.

Mr. Fergeau was a tall young man with dark black hair and deep brown eyes. He was very well build, good looking and to top it all of he was extremely rich. When Adeline met him, he swept her off her feet with his charming smile and sappy sweet talking. He had talked her into selling her beautiful home and moving in with him in his huge manor on the other side of Manhattan. Lauren was outraged when she heard the news. This was her home, it was the only thing that she had to remember her sister. If they thought they could make her move they were crazy.

"I'm not moving moma. You can not make me." Lauren had protested when she walked into her mothers room. Since her sister had left Lauren felt it was her duty to act older then she was, in order to set a good example for her younger sister.

"Come now Lauren. It will be a pleasnt experience for all of us. You don't hear Meggie complaining do you? She seems fine with the whole thing." Adeline replied.

"Well that's because she does not understand. She was too young to remember what happened, too young to remember the memories."

Her mother simply ignored her and continued to pack her belonging's. Lauren kept complaining but it only fell on deaf ears. No one was going to make her move. She left her mothers room mumbling under her breath. Suddenly a tall shadow appeared in front of her. She looked up only to find a pair of cruel eyes staring back at her.

"Stop your whining, you stupid child. No one cares what you want. You and your brat of a little sister are coming with us. Not that I want to disgusting children like you two in my house. but your mother seems to love you both so I suppose I must take you all with me in order to have your mother live with me. So stop your baling and start packing." Devon said harshly. He was not fond of the Stanwood children at all. Although he pretended to love them whenever Adeline was near.

"I'm not moving into your house. I would rather die then live with you." Lauren said through grit teeth.

Devon was furious. He grabbed her by the neck and threw her against the wall. Lauren struggled to get free and started to gasp for air. "That could be arranged." He whispered dangerously in her ear. With that he let her down and walked away.

Lauren rubbed her neck as she got up off the floor. "Oh yea you sure will make a great dad." She said sarcastically. "After all you just tried to strangle a five year old." Lauren walked into her room and slammed the door shut. She flung her self on to her bed and began to cry.

There was a soft knock on her door.

"GO AWAY! I don't want to talk to anyone." Lauren yelled.

"But Lor, I heard ya slam yous door and I just wanted to see if..if...if..yous was okay." Meggera spoke softly form the other side of the door.

Lauren had stopped crying and started to laugh. Her little sister had seen a few boys selling papers in the market and from that day on she decided she didn't want to be a high class lady. She wanted to be just like the boys in the market.

" alright you can come in." Lauren laughed.

Meggera opened the door and came skipping over to the bed. "Heya Lor. Why ya crying dolly face?"

Lauren wiped her eyes and gave a small laugh. "I think its 'dollface' Meg. And the thing that is wrong with me is Devon. He is an awful man. And I think that he might kill us if we make him mad." Lauren finished with a sniff.

"Aww come on Lor it's only moving."

"you don't get it. Everything for me is here. All the memories of dad and Brandie are here. Besides Devon hates us."

"Oh yea. Who was Brandie again?" Meggera asked with a confused expression on her face.

"See, see what I mean. You don't even remember your own sister! If we leave now I may forget her." Lauren said feeling anger flood through her.

Meggie sat down on the and stared at Lauren for a few minutes.

"You want to play ponies with me?" she finally asked innocently.

Lauren burst into tears. She jumped off her bed and ran to her closet. " No one understands, not even my own sister." She said as she grabbed a large bag and began to stuff all her belongings she could into it. "I'm...getting...out...of...here." She said between sob's.

"Where are you going?" Meggera asked curiously and innocently.

"I don't really know. I just have to get out of here, away from Devon and his stupid house and mind washing games." Lauren said as she threw her bag out the window, and heard it land in the garden with a soft thud. She turned to face her sister. "Promise me you wont let anyone hurt you, and that you will stay strong."

Meggera nodded, a confused look spread across her face. "Ain't I coming wit ya?" She asked.

"No you stay here. If you left mother would go crazy having none of her children left. If she asks you if you've seen me lie to her. Tell her you haven't at all and that where ever I am that you are sure I'll be fine." I'll be back soon I promise." Lauren said tears rolling down her face.

Meggera started to cry softly but nodded. She understood, but she didn't want to be left alone with no one to talk to. She didn't want her sister to abandon her.

Lauren ran to her and held her close. She could feels Meg's tears dampening her shirt. "I'll always be your big sister and I'll always be right here if you need me." She said pointing to the young girls heart. And with that she brushed Meggera's hair out of her face and gave her a meek smile, and headed out the window after her bag.

The little girl ran to the window and watched as her sister headed down the street as fast as her little legs could carry her. "Bye Lauren. Love you." She said to her self.
