Hey! Thanks so much to everyone who reviewed! So here is the anticipated chapter of hide and go seek! People have guessed what is going to happen, and now is the time to find out! Thanks to AnnabethChase1395 for her idea. I originally told her that I wasn't going to use it, but I am going to use part of it, but not most. Sorry…

I think that's all, so enjoy!


We instantly found Layla sitting on a chair in the living room reading a book.

"Layla! Want to play hide and seek with us like old times?" Izzy said, cutting straight to the point.

"Su- Why should I?" Layla asked, placing her book down on the table and looking up with us with a suspicious eye.

"Because Mom confiscated our activities. Okay? You owe me besides, I saved you're life today." I said simply. I didn't mean for it to come out so harsh, but hey, I'm not in the best mood ever right now.

"Fine, you don't need to be so pushy." Layla said, getting up. "But I won't be the seeker, I'll only hide."

"I'll be seeker, I already told Ally I would." Izzy said, breaking up the argument to be.

"Okay, go into my room and count for two minutes." I told Izzy.

"If you can't find us in fifteen minutes, you can call us and tell us to come out from hiding." Layla reminded.

"It's not like I'd forget." Izzy said. "Okay, go hide!" She closed her eyes and leaned face forwards towards the wall and began to count.

"Go!" I hushed to Layla who scurried off without hesitating. Hm… where to hide? I could hide in the laundry room on the washing machine. No, I'm too big to hide there now. I could hide in the cabinet in the ceiling. No, Izzy would find me there in less than 30 seconds; I always used to hide there. Oh! I know!

I ran up the stairs and towards my parent's bedroom. I checked to make sure that neither of them was there, and then I crawled into the closet. I snuck myself in the corner so I couldn't be seen if you opened the closet. I sat on some shoeboxes, and closed the closet doors covering me in complete darkness.

"Maybe this wasn't the best idea…" I muttered quietly to myself after sitting there for what felt like 6 hours in hide and seek time, in real life, it was probably 3 minutes.

Creek! Stomp! Stomp! Shoot, that's probably Izzy. I'm doomed.

The person walked over to the bed and sat down. I could hear papers rustle.

"Why? WHY!" I heard my mother say to herself. Her tone had a mixture of sadness and anger in it. "Why did you leave me? What we had, we could've been some Seaweed Brain. And now look where you've got yourself." Who was she talking to? More importantly, whom was she talking about? An old friend? Dad? It can't be dad; as far as I know they're on good terms.

"You were everything, everything that I wanted. We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it." My mother said. The strange thing was that I recognized it. It's from a song! That's how I know! Now only if I knew what song. Damn, why do I have to be so bad at lyrics? Why am I only able to recognize songs by their melody, and since mom wasn't singing, I wouldn't be able to tell.

"All of our memories so close to me just fade away. All this time you were pretending. So much for my happy ending." My mom said, now crying. Who is this person? Too bad I can't give myself away.

Stomp! Whose footsteps are these? "Sorry Mrs. C. I just need to check to see if Ally is in here because we're playing hide and seek." Izzy said.

"Oh I see. Well, I'm pretty sure she's not in here, I've been in here for the past five minutes." My mom replied.

"Yeah, but we need to make sure. We started playing about 10 or so minutes ago so we need to check this room off." I heard Layla say, well, at least I know that I didn't loose.

"Sure, but be quick girls." My mom said, leaving the room. I quietly slammed myself against the wall and tightened my legs against my chest as far as they would go. Both my arms and legs felt horribly sore, but I ignored them for now.

"I'll check the closet, you check the bathroom." I heard Izzy say, as footsteps became louder and less distant.

"Found ya!" Izzy said, as she opened the closet. I knew it was just a trick; Izzy always does this because if you think she's found you, you'll come out.

I remained silent; I wasn't falling for it this time.

"Hm…" Izzy said, as she moved shirts, dress, skirts, and pants around on the pole. Some banged into me, and I was tempted to wail when a button whacked me in the eye, but I restrained.

"Find her?" I could see Layla say at the corner of my eye. She was peeking her head out of the bathroom.

"No, I don't think that she's in here." Izzy said, throwing her hands in the air in surrender.

"Did you check the corner, there's a part that you can't see in less you peek your head inside." Layla called, walking out of the bathroom and over to the closet. They found me.

"Look, here." Layla said as she violently pushed the clothes over to the other end of the closet so now I was in plain sight.

"Hey guys! Took you long enough!" I said, stretching out my arms and legs.

"Sor-ry." Izzy said as we exited my parent's room.

"Hey, do you know why Mom's eyes were red?" Layla asked, when were out of the room.

"Yeah, she was crying. I don't know why though. I think she might have had a fight with dad or something." I replied honestly.

Almost on queue, my dad walked in the room. "Hey Izzy, it's nice to see you." My dad said.

"Hi Mr. G., it's nice to see you too." Izzy replied politely.

"Sorry Izzy, I need to talk to my girls for a second." My dad said, as Izzy backed away, Layla and I made eye contact. Divorce? "Oh Izzy, this is nothing bad, you can stay here, you don't need to leave." Phew…

"Girls, guess what! For spring break, we're going to California!" My dad said.

"Cool!" Layla said. We barley ever went on vacation. It had something to do with mom being over protective.

"We're first going to go to San Francisco to see you're Mother's parents, then we're going to head up to Los Angeles to see my sister and you're cousins." My dad informed us.

"But how are we going to get their, mom never lets us take planes." I asked.

"We're taking a train. It will be so much fun!" My dad said, pretending to be enthusiastic. The truth was that none of us wanted to take a three-day train trip, but if mom wanted us too, we would. The whole family does back bends for her.

"We'll be leaving on one week from today." My dad said, loosening his tie.

"And?" I asked, symbolizing that I wanted to leave.

"That's all. You can go now." He said, finally taking of his tie. Although he didn't show it much, I knew he was excited to see his sister. And I guess I was excited to see my cousins too. But I knew who Izzy was excited for us to see by the grin on her face:

The movie stars.

Okay, there's the chapter. I hoped you liked it. Kudos to anyone who can guess the song that was in this chapter. Please review!

Thanks for reading!
