Chapter 3
Miranda's p.o.v.

I own nothing except matty, amiel, Miranda and Chloe

I watched my mom drive away from the school, it wasn't that I didn't want her to leave it just felt right with her watching over me. Gina was a nice lady but she wasn't mom material. I walked through the courtyard of the school passing by people and some of the nuns and fathers. I was trying to find my two friends amiel and matty, the three of us are in a band together called hollow wings. We always meet up before school in front of an old oak tree that stood in the school's courtyard. But they weren't there today; instead I found a group of guys all my age a year older or younger around the tree. 'Damn it what are they doing here?' the boys were my fan club some were in my classes others I just saw around school. The mostly liked me for my singing in the band but half of them (there's12 of them) have a crush on me and hate amiel my boyfriend.

"Miranda hey do u want to uhm have lunch with me today?" Justin said. Well I think it was Justin I could never remember their names. I just named them boy# 1-12. I pretended that I dint hear him and kept walking towards the school doors. "Miranda wait up" another called after me. This time I looked back to see that only six of the twelve boys were left. Trying to put more distance between us I started running in the halls which made me end up on the floor on top of amiel. Our faces were extremely close; to say the least the position we were in was an award one even if we were dating. For Pete sakes I'm 12 and he's 13. Amiel's arms were around my waist while one of mine was on his chest and the other was supporting me off the ground.

"Hey senorita how's it going?" amiel asked me. His breath smelt like peppermint, which made me want to kiss him there in the hallway. But lucky for me matty came and help me up after scaring my little mob away from us. I thanked him and started picking up my books from the floor with the help of amiel. Matty stared at me once I stood back up from kneeling.

"What was that all about?" even though he was only a two years older than me he acted like my dad. "Well 'dad' if you must know those guys are from my fan club and decided to ask me to eat with them during lunch."I replied while moving my hair out of my face. I had decided to straighten it today and it was now a mess. Amiel stopped walking and balled his hands into fists "so those jackass's still won't leave you alone?" amiel had always been protective of me and he got even more protective once we started dating. It wasn't as bad as controlling; he just didn't want people messing with me. I grabbed one of his hands into mine and looked into his eyes.

"Look my Corazon if you think that I would every actually go with them then you're wrong" I could tell that he was going to cry but instead he just held my hand and pulled us to class. Before we were too far away I turned around and told matty bye.

Time skip to end of school (still Miranda's p.o.v.)

School had ended a few minutes ago and amiel, matty and I were waiting for my mom to come and pick me up. It was always like this, the three of us hang out after school going to someone's house or waiting for the other's parents to come. Since amiel and matty only lived down the block I would usually go to their house after school and have band practice. But today I wanted them to meet my mom. I had already told them about last night with finding her and they both wanted to meet her. We talked for a while until my mom had showed up then we all walked towards her car.

"Hey mom I want you to meet my friends matty and amiel. You guys this is my mom." I said once we reached the car. Hellos were exchanged before my mom told me we had to go because she had to get back to work. I said good bye to my friends and gave them both hugs which were fairly short except for amiel his was longer. Once they said bye to my mom and left I got into the car which made its way towards my mom's office.

Melinda's p.o.v.

Once inside the mourge I lead Miranda to my office." Ok sweetheart I have to get back to work but you can stay here ok." I told my daughter. She was barley even listening to me because she had already set out on doing her homework. I watched for a little while wondering how this little girl could be my daughter. After another minute or two I set off to finish my report.

1 hr. later

Narrative p.o.v.

The elevator doors opened at it's usually pace and a man stepped out. The man was average height and built. He was also African American with black hair in a ponytail. He was in the morgue looking for two things. One was a report that he need for his case. And the other thing was his girlfriend the lead M.E. here. After walking he found her or should I say his Melinda Warner a woman he was planning on making his wife. She was writing what he guessed was he's report. He was very silent when he walked up behind Melinda and but his arms around his waist. "Hey baby watcha doing?"

Melinda turned around in her lovers arms to look at him, but before she could get a world out she was pulled into a deep kiss which lasted for quite some time. But alas humans must breath and the two adults were forced to pull away. "Odafin what are you doing here?" odafin or fin as he was called let go of Melinda to stand beside here. "Well Mel I came to get that report and to see you." Fin said with a smirk on his face.

Melinda turned back around to finish the report she was doing which only took her three minutes. When she turned back she knew this was her chance to tell him about Miranda. Melinda put the file beside fin on the table and grabbed his hand. "Oda you know how you told me about ken?" fin stared at the woman in front of him not sure where he was going with the question but decided to find out.

"Mel is there something wrong?" Melinda shook her head at the man in front of her. "No fin nothing's wrong it just well I have a daughter. I found out last night and I wanted to see if your feelings changed now that I have a kid." The two adults stood staring at each other for what seemed like an eternity before fin actually replied.

"Mel you know that I love you kid or no kid. And a child doesn't make a difference how I feel. Now let's go meet this little girl." Fin pulled Melinda towards her office where she told him that's where she left the little girl at, but when they reached the office they found it empty nothing was there. "I could of sworn she was here, oh fin what if she's somewhere in the building she could be lost." Melinda said. From the looks of it the woman was about to cry.

"Now Mel we don't know that she could be inside the morgue maybe she's hiding." Fin said trying to calm the woman down. With that being said the two adults set off trying to find the child by first looking through Melinda's office. They searched high and low but couldn't find a single hair of the little girl, well that is until fin found a jacket the same one that Miranda was wearing with a patch of what looked like to be blood.

When fin held up the jacket for Melinda to see, well let's just say all hell broke loose and Melinda she broke down crying.
