I'm back, ready with another chapter of Girl Meets Anna! I hope you guys like it!

(Daisy's POV)

That shadowy figure emerged from the darkness. But there were more of them. He wasn't alone. It was then when we realized the sound of the siren. The man came and told me and Forest that we couldn't go in. That it wasn't safe. There was a fire in apartment 45c, the apartment right above us!

"My sister's in there," I pleaded. "Both of them."

"Look, we're evacuating everyone," he promised.

All the men ran in, starting to evacuate everyone. Except, I couldn't see Maya or Anna. They weren't out yet. Thoughts began racing in my mind. Terrible thoughts. Forest held me tightly. "It's okay," he whispered.

I thought that night would have been perfect. I had learned so much about Forest. I learned he was thirteen and only eleven months older than me. I learned about his little brother, who had dyslexia, and how he always tried to help him. I had learned about Forest and he had learned about me. He had learned about my fear of failing and how I used to be a foster kid. He knew about Anna and Ender. We had learned.

I picked up my phone and tried to call Maya. She answered. "Where are you?" she asked panicky.

"Outside the building," I replied.

"Why aren't you in here?"

"Maya there's a fire!"

"What?"

The phone went dead. Forest hugged me and I sobbed into his shoulder. Please be okay, I kept thinking in my head. Please be okay Maya.

(Maya's POV)

Had Daisy just said what I think she had said? There was a fire? I grabbed Anna's hand and pulled her into the hallway. What we saw was terrifying. The walls were burning around us. We were only two stories from the ground. We could make it.

We ran to the stairs and began running down. Anna then began gasping like I had never known. "Asthma," she gasped.

I took a homework assignment out of my pocket. I put it over Anna's mouth. She grabbed it. "C'mon," I said, and we kept running.

We were on the first floor when I began thinking about Daisy. I hoped she was safe.

We burst out the door and looked at the building. It was pretty much un-savable. I'm glad I had grabbed one thing before we ran. I had grabbed Daisy's journal.

Outside, I spotted Daisy. She was sobbing into Forest's shoulder. Anna and I ran up to her. "Dais," I said.

She looked up. She grabbed me and Anna and hugged us tightly. "Chance," she whispered.

It was then that I realized I had completely forgotten our dog. But where was he? Then I remembered. "Mom dropped him off at the groomer," I replied, then saw Daisy breathe a sigh of relief.

She leaned in on me and I leaned in on Anna. We were a family, home or not.

A few minutes later, Daisy, Anna, and I decided to take a walk to clear our minds. We walked down the street for a while, when Daisy spotted someone.

The girl was in a box down at the corner of the street. Her blond hair was bunched up into a messy ponytail and her blue eyes seemed teary. Of course, Daisy was like Riley, so she ran right up to the girl. "What's your name?" Daisy asked.

"DJ," the girl replied.

"Is that short for something?" Daisy asked.

"Yeah," the girl replied. "Delilah Rosalyn Jones."

"Where are your parents?" I asked.

"They died in a car accident when I was six," she replied. "And I ran away from the group home I was in."
"I know how you feel," Daisy said. "I was in a foster home until two weeks ago, when I got adopted."

I realized Anna hadn't said anything. She was standing silently behind me. She finally came out of the darkness. "I thought you were dead," she whispered.

That's when Daisy and I both realized, DJ and Anna had a past.

(Anna's POV)

I thought she was dead. I remembered when her parents died. I remember when she ran from the scene and everyone thought she had gone off the bridge and they searched it. I remembered her funeral, my parents crying, the pain I had suffered. I was nine then, old enough to understand she was dead, but not old enough to understand why.

DJ stared at me. "You can't be," she whispered.

"I am," I replied.

"You aren't, oh my gosh," she said.

"Do you remember?" I asked.

"I remember," she replied. "I was six, you were nine, Ender was seven, Daisy was five. I lived with you half the time because my parents were never around."

I embraced DJ in a hug.

I could tell Daisy and Maya were both confused. "I'll explain later," I said.

We walked back to the building and found Ms. Hart waiting for us. She hugged the three of us. "I thought something happened to you," she said.

That's when she saw DJ. "Mom, can we foster her?" Daisy asked. "She lives on the street."

"When we find a place to stay," Mom promised.

That's when it hit all of us. Where were we going to stay?

"Don't worry," Ms. Hart said. "I've already got the temporary stuff figured out. I'm going to stay with Shawn at his hotel, but there isn't enough room for you guys, so you're going to stay at Riley's house."

Maya cringed. Hearing her name. "And Daisy, if you want to, Forest's mom said you can stay the last two days," Ms. Hart continued.

I could basically see the excitement on Daisy's face. "Forest?" DJ asked. "Forest Window?"

Daisy nodded. "Actually, that's where I'm staying," she said. "I've been staying there. When you saw me I was just getting something from my box."

About an hour later, we were all at the front of Riley's building. We buzzed the speaker. "Maya," Maya said.

"And Daisy," Daisy said.

"And Anna," I added.

"Come on up," Mrs. Matthews said.

I could see the disappointment in Maya's eyes that Riley hadn't answered.

We walked up the stairs and into the Matthews' apartment. "Hey girls," Mrs. Matthews said, and gave us all hugs. "I'm so sorry."

Mr. Matthews told us he was also sorry, and Augie hugged us. We still hadn't seen Riley. "Where's Riley?" Maya asked finally.

"In her room," Mr. Matthews replied. "She said she wasn't feeling well so she went to lied down. You can go see her though. I mean you are staying in that room."

We walked in and found Riley lying down, but her face was in the pillow so we couldn't see it. "Riles?" Maya asked.

Maya walked up to her. "I'm sorry," Riley whispered.

"That's okay," Maya said.

Riley sat up and revealed her tear stained face. "Are you okay?" Daisy asked.

"I'm sorry," Riley repeated. "I'm so sorry. I was stupid. I don't hate you. I was just spending time with Lucas and then I forgot about you and your feelings."

Maya hugged her best friend. "Don't worry about it," she said.

We set up our sleeping bags. Riley suggested we play truth or dare. "I'm in!" I said.

"Me too!" Maya added.

"Me three!" Daisy said.

So we began playing. Maya pulled out a big box of questions and we separated them into truth and dare piles. We decided that Daisy should go first, then Riley, then Maya, then me. Oldest to youngest.

I was super excited for the awesome game of truth or dare. And maybe, just maybe, we would get to see what was going on with Daisy and Forest.

And chapter three is done! I would like to thank everyone for their support which is insanely awesome. Also, Morgan Hope told me that she doesn't like Faya, but she didn't scream at me so, Morgan Hope, I will actually take your constructive criticism so thank you. I also have a special announcement!
