Sup guys? So, I'm back with a new chapter of GMA. Wait, I just realized that also stands for Good Morning America. Oh well. Also, this chapter might get a little sad. I hope you guys don't mind. Let's do this thing!
(Maya's POV)
Riley came home with me and Daisy. We had all decided to do our homework together. Well, sort of. It wasn't like we were actually going to get anything done.
Anyways, we walked into the apartment, to find Mom already in there, sitting with Shawn on the couch, crying. "Mom?" I asked frantically, running over to them.
Daisy was by my side immediately, and Riley wasn't far behind. Mom took my hand and then Daisy's. "Girls," she gasped. "They took Anna away."
Daisy's face went to a shade of white I didn't know was possible. "Where is she?" I asked, seeing as my baby sister wasn't going to say anything.
"The family that adopted her wanted her back, they still have the right to have her," Mom sobbed.
Mom leaned in with Shawn. Daisy grabbed my hand. "Shh," I said, trying to calm her down. "Shh, Daisy-Flower, it's okay."
"It's not okay!" she burst out, but then continued sobbing on my shoulder.
My eyes began overflowing with tears. Riley had to hold me as I held Daisy. All five of us (me, Daisy, Shawn, Mom, and Riley) were scrunched up on the couch. "Anna," Daisy kept mumbling. "Anna."
If losing Anna wasn't enough, Daisy was crying, and when my baby sister cries, I can't take it. All I ever want is for her to be happy. For her to not have to understand things like this. It breaks my heart every time she's like this.
After ten minutes of crying, Mom got up and called someone on the phone. I couldn't hear any of the conversation. "Girls," she said as calmly as she could when she got off the phone. "Please, try not to cry, Anna's going to be here soon to get her stuff."
Daisy wiped off her eyes. I stood up with her. "Dais," I said calmly. "C'mon, let's go get Anna's stuff packed."
I took her hand as if she was only six years old. Riley, Daisy, and I walked back to Anna's room. There were three bags that Anna was allowed to take. Daisy took one to fill with, what we called, "fun stuff." Riley grabbed the other to pack clothes. I grabbed the final to pack other essentials like her tooth brush and junk.
As we packed, I saw small tears fall from both Riley and Daisy's eyes. I embraced them both in a hug. "Hey," I said as we broke free. "We are always going to be sisters. I promise that now and forever. All of us. Me, Daisy, Riley, and Anna. We will always be sisters."
Daisy gave me a smile I hadn't seen since she was told the news. "Thank you," she mouthed, no words coming out of her mouth.
We went back to packing silently, my heart breaking a little more at every sight of Daisy. But I couldn't let it show, I needed to be strong for my Daisy-Flower and my Little Plant.
An hour passed before there was a knock at the door. We heard the door open before Mom called us to the living room. I grabbed Daisy's hand and she grabbed Riley's with the other. We walked into the living room where Anna was sitting on the couch. "Hey," she said.
Daisy let go of both me and Riley's hands. She hugged Anna with all she had. Anna hugged her back. "Daisy-Flower, it'll be okay," she said, trying to calm the sobbing once again Daisy. "I promise. I'm going to be fine. And you—" she looked around at Mom, Shawn, Riley, and me –"You have an amazing family to take care of you."
Daisy looked up at Anna. She just looked with those sad little eyes that could break a heart. There was no emotion, no small curve of a smile, no small tear rolling down her cheek, just those eyes, staring up at Anna. "Are you ready to go sweetie?" Mom asked, breaking the silence.
Anna nodded. "I guess, let's get going," she said, picking up Daisy off her lap.
Daisy grabbed Anna's hand as we went down the stairs of the apartment to the main lobby. When we got outside, a car was waiting for her. "Let's go darling!" an annoying voice rang from the car. "We have to get to China soon!"
Anna put her stuff in the car. She began hugging us one by one. First she hugged Riley. "Take care of them," she said, looking at me and Daisy.
Riley nodded. Then she hugged Shawn. "Please, take care of my mom."
Next it was Mom. "Thank you for being my mom."
My turn. "Maya, please, keep that little flower out of trouble."
We both giggled for a second. Finally, it was time for the worst part, Daisy. She got down to Daisy's height. She pulled off a bracelet from her wrist. She handed it to her. "Now listen," she said. "You need to stay out of trouble. No more sneaking off with Forest. And you have to trust Maya and Riley, even if they are the only people you ever trust, you have to trust them."
Daisy nodded. Anna kissed her cheek and gave her a hug. "Be good," she said finally. "I love you."
Anna climbed into the backseat off the car. It started into motion before something happened we would never forget.
(Anna's POV)
The car was in motion for about five seconds. This was right before Daisy jumped in front of it and yelled, "Wait!"
My 'mom' stopped the car as fast as she could, but I still couldn't see Daisy. I jumped out. "Dais!" I yelled, and found her still standing in front of it.
I ran up and hugged her, pulling her off of the street. Maya and Riley ran over, followed by Mom and Shawn. "Daisy Hart are you insane?" Mom asked, reaching out for her.
Daisy took off her backpack that she still had on. She pulled out the well torn up book and a pen. "You need it more than me," she said. "We kept this journal to think about our feelings on our journey. I have found my family. That was my quest. You need it now, to write about your quest."
I stared at her with wide eyes. "How did you get so smart?" I asked.
"Well, I've had the best sisters ever," she replied.
I smiled up and Riley and Maya. "Yeah," I said. "Yeah, you have."
I took the journal and got back into the car. I waved at my family until they were just blurs in the middle of the city. Then I opened the book, and began reading.
Boom! Okay, so, here's the deal. There will be no new chapter until I hit fifty reviews. Luckily, that's only four reviews away. Please! Guys, c'mon, am I being unreasonable? I don't think so. Getting reviews helps me write. It helps me feel happy to write because I know people are reading it. Please guys, I really wanna hit fifty reviews, even if they are negative! Look, I don't mind negative comments, as long as they don't contain bad language and stuff like that. Anyways, Girl Meets Journal will be up super soon!
Thank you and Lacey!
