A New Family, a New Future-Part 5:

The decision not to tell Louisa anything had been made by Angela and Constance, but Hope was debating on whether to tell Cailin or not. In the end she waited until the two were alone.

"Look I'm going to tell you something but you must promise not to tell Louisa," Hope said, "because if Angela finds out I told you then I will be hung out to dry."

"I promise mum. What is it?" Cailin asked.

"The hurricane intensified and Jane and Maura were evacuated from the coast but the phone lines are down and we cannot get hold of them," Hope told her daughter, "we don't want to tell Louisa because it'll just put more pressure and worry on her and you know her worst fear is losing Jane and Maura. We have no reason to believe they're in danger but we still don't want Louisa finding out." Cailin nodded,

"Understandable seeing as we don't know what their status is," she said, "I can delay going to college if you need me to help with Louisa."

"Hopefully that won't be the case Cailin but I will bare that in mind," Hope said before the two went their separate ways.

Angela had had to take Louisa to work but she had her entertainment bag with her and she was sat in a corner of the café and reading. It was rather busy so nobody was really paying any attention to what was on the TV in the café, which was bad news for Angela as Louisa looked up and began to see the hurricane devastation and then she realised that was where Jane and Maura were. She hadn't heard from them and then she put two and two together and she realised that she was being lied to. She picked up her things and hurried out of of the station and headed to the bus stop and was soon on a bus to the outskirts of Boston. She remembered a place Cailin had told her about and she headed there. She was mad that everyone had lied to her.

The first time Angela realised that Louisa had gone was when she checked on her after the lunch rush and there was no trace of Louisa. She then looked at the news and realised that Louisa must have seen the news and rushed off. She instantly sent texts out the family group, except Jane and Maura of course, before heading upstairs to see Frankie, Frost and Nina.

"When did she go?" Nina asked.

"It must have been during the lunch rush. Why did I not think to make sure she couldn't see the TV," Angela said, "it was busy when I got there so I just sat her down."

"Well she must have a tracker on her phone right?" Nina asked, "she is living with Jane and Maura after all."

"Yes she does. Jane told me Maura insisted on it," Frankie said before hurrying over to his computer and pulling out his phone to get Louisa's number.

Meanwhile the girl herself was on a bus and had just seen the café that Cailin had told her about and she pushed the button and got off at the next stop and then headed to the café and ordered herself a milkshake.

"Are you OK sweetheart?" the waitress asked as she served Louisa her strawberry milkshake.

"I'm fine thank you. I'm meeting my sister here soon," she said before getting her book out and beginning to read. The waitress took pity on her sat there alone and took her some pancakes, syrup and bacon over. Louisa politely thanked the waitress and began to eat. The waitress knew Louisa was lying and knew it would only be a matter of time before somebody found her.

"There she is!" Nina said as she and Frankie brought Louisa's location up on the screen.

"That's the 60s café I told her about!" Cailin said realising the location, "she said she wanted to go there."

"Can you drive?" Angela asked.

"Yes I know the way," Cailin said, "you coming with me?"

"I'm her guardian currently and she trusts you. It has to be us two. Let me know if her location changes," Angela said before she and Cailin hurried off to the teenager's car and were soon on the way to collect Louisa.

"I know the situation with Jane and Maura," Cailin told Angela, "mom told me but I did not tell Louisa I promise you Angela."

"I believe you Cailin. She found out because she saw it on the TV in the café and now she's mad at me," Angela said, "I just hope that she doesn't go crazy at me because I tried to protect her."

"She'll be angry with me too once she finds out that I knew," Cailin sighed, "but I made a promise with mom."

"She's going to be mad at us and I have no idea how to handle a modern day stroppy teenager," Angela said.

"Good job I'm here then," Cailin said before finding somewhere to park whilst Angela checked in with Frankie to see if Louisa's location had changed but it hadn't.

Cailin headed inside with Angela and headed straight over to Louisa.

"You've had us all worried you know," Cailin said as she sat down next to Louisa.

"Everyone lied to me. Nobody a clue where Jane and Maura are," Louisa said, "what happens to me if…?"

"You will stay with Angela or my mom or Constance," Cailin said, "but Jane and Maura will be fine Lou. Jane's a Rizzoli." Louisa couldn't help but laugh softly at that before looking at Cailin seriously,

"Did you know?"

"Angela's only just told me about it all now," Cailin said, "and I'm not happy they kept it a secret from you."

"So they kept it from you as well?" Louisa questioned and Cailin nodded,

"Yes. Please just come home and hear them out."

"Look I was trying to protect you…" Angela started.

"Because of everything I've been through? You can't keep using that excuse forever Angela!" Louisa said and Cailin instantly wrapped her arms around Louisa and began to sooth her,

"It's OK Louisa. Let's just get you home and cleaned up."

Louisa eventually nodded and just stayed close to Cailin. Angela had really hurt Louisa by keeping that a secret from her and Cailin got Louisa into the front seat, knowing that Angela would have to settle for the back seat.

Cailin drove home and then Louisa would sadly realise that everyone knew except her about Jane, Maura and the Hurricane.
