WELL! Here's the story. So sorry it took so freekin' long!

CH. 4

Is That Who I Think It Is?

"Come quick!" Allie yelled to Justin. When he walked into the living room where Allie was sitting upright and focused on the TV. "Look." she whispered. The man was talking about some freak accident in Elk Grove California. Something about a major earthquake, but that wasn't what Justin was focused on. What he was looking at was the two names at the bottom of the screen. Christopher and Amelia Finch.

-What! That's-that's...

"Justin? Is that.. is that them?" Allie asked, almost reading Justin's mind.

"Allie, I don't think so. I mean, what are the odds that it is? Really, I'm sure there are tons of Finch's out there." Justin answered. As he said that, he realized more and more that it just couldn't be them, but he still had a feeling. A little feeling, it just might be them.

"But, they look just like you described them to me. I mean exactly like you told me. Mom's curly, light brown hair, dad's scar on his cheek. It has to be them Justin!" Allie protested. Justin realized this was true. The first time Allie ever asked Justin to tell him a bedtime story, he would describe their parents and fantasy adventures they would go on. After the first story, Allie wouldn't accept anything but the made-up stories of her mom and dad.

"Allie, like I said, what are the odds it is them? Don't get your hopes up sis." Justin replied. Allie sighed and flipped through the channels, finally agreeing with Justin, though not completely. She got bored with watching TV, finding nothing to watch. She finally went up to her room, grabbed a book from a box she hadn't yet taped up, and flopped on her bed with her nose already in the book.

A Tree Grows In Brooklyn interested Allie quite a bit, but she hadn't gotten very far into it. She had only had it for a week and a half, and by now she should have it finished, but she hadn't really had a lot of spare time for some reason. It was one of the books her brother gave her. He has about a hundred books that used to belong to their mom, and she gave them to Justin before she and their dad left, telling him to give them to Allie as she grew older. The book she got about six months ago was Where the Red Fern Grows. She had already read that book almost fifteen times, and Justin noticed she started to get bored with it, so he gave her her most recent book.

Justin wasn't planning to give her that book so soon. He had actually planned to give it to her about a year after, but he couldn't find another book that she could relate to, or understand. The rest of the books he had were things like The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Scarlet Letter, or To Kill A Mokingbird and he had planned to give them when she was older.

Allie started the third chapter and read until her eyes hurt. Eventually, she fell asleep with the book on her chest.

"Allie! I'm leaving!" Justin yelled down the stairs. Allie didn't need to be told twice-even at 6:30 in the morning; she hopped out of bed, pulled on some jeans and a t-shirt, did her daily morning routine, and raced downstairs in record time. She was smiling wildly with excitement. Justin smiled back at her and handed her a plate of french toast. Her favorite.

"Thanks Justin!" she said, a little over excited, "When are we going? Are we taking a plane? Where are we going to live?" she asked, Justin, almost overwhelmed in questions, sighed and shook his head.

"Allie, you will just have to be patient and go along with the trip and enjoy it. Don't worry about that stuff alright?" he smiled, "I promise everything is taken care of."

Everything was packed into the back of the small, red Toyota. All of their belongings, like the beds, their clothes, all their dishes, silverware - everything. When Justin told Allie that they wouldn't have to come back for anything, he meant it. Justin packed it all into two medium sized suitcases, and Allie was completely speechless.

They got to the airport and unloaded their luggage, and headed in. They went through security and all the customs, and finally got to the waiting area. By then both Allie and Justin's stomachs' were grumbling.

"There's a Subway right over there. I'm gonna go get a sandwich. Want something?" Justin asked Allie. Allie nodded.

"Umm, I want the - uh - meatball sub, and uh, a Sprite? Yeah, a Sprite.." Allie said. She was so nervous she could barely speak.

"Okay. And Allie, it;s gonna be fine. You don't have to worry." Justin reassured as he stood up. Allie nodded and played with a loose thread on the old, worn out chair she was sitting in. A few minutes later Justin came back and handed Allie the sandwich and the Sprite. She ate the sandwich slowly and with a kind of nervous jitter.

Waiting was the worst part of flying, Allie always thought. There was nothing to do but sit there and look around at all the other people. Mostly the people who are, lets say, dressed a bit out of the ordinary. That was kind of something Allie enjoyed laughing silently at, and with Justin, but she still feels kinda bad doing it.

After a couple hours of waiting and snacking, they finally boarded the plane. Allie loved being in the air; she had only been on a plane once before when she was going to New York City for the first time. She loved everything about being up in the clouds, the view, the way when you got high enough and looked down, you couldn't see anything but cloud.

After they took off and the plane was up in the air, Allie and Justin got some more snacks, and settled in with the movie player he brought to watch movies. This seven hour flight will be a long one...

They landed around five, went through airport security and everything, got their luggage, and finally got out of that airport. The place was so crowded, Allie almost got lost standing right next to Justin. When they got outside it was a beautiful day, the sky was really blue, there were almost no clouds in the sky- everything was perfect in Allie's eyes. Allie knew living there was going to be amazing, and she won't want to leave anytime soon.

Wow. I'm freekishly sorry. I've had this half-written for like a couple weeks now. I never meant to keep you guys waiting. I'm really sorry. I keep promising you guys updates but... I guess I get sidetracked. I try, really.. but then.. you know.. facebook just waves to me from another tab and I think "Oh, I'm just gonna check it real quick.." and before I know it.. you get the picture.

I'm not going to promise anything but this story will be finished eventually. I'm not just going to give up on it-even if I don't go past first year...or if I skip around (which I might do-I really want to get to like 4th, 5th, and 6th years *looovveee haha*) I will say this- You guys (all like 4 of you haha) won't be left hanging. I have the story in my head but when I get writing, I just can't write it down. Bahh.. end of this authors note.. until next time.. MWAHAHAH-*cough cough*.

THANKSSSS!
