Chapter One

Roxie closed her diary and after putting the lock on and placed it under her pillow, swung her legs over to the ladder and moved down it quickly. As she massaged her fingers, she glanced around the room. She shared the room with her sister and the two had a bunk bed because of it. The room was filled with things from the two of them, some gifts, but mostly stuff they bought themselves or their parents did. There were two dressers, one a computer dresser while the other one was normal. There were two chairs, one for the computer while the other was a large bean bag. The walls were light purple and pink and the one window they had had a seat.

All in all, pretty cozy.

"Ah," Roxie grabbed the sunglasses off her dresser and slipped them on as Laurel walked in. "Come on, sis. Mama told us to go outside 5 minutes ago." Laurel said, wearing a visor and holding her Nintendo DSI. "I'm coming; just had to grab my shades." Roxie said.

Roxie and Laurels mama thought the two could use some fresh air and ordered them to go play in the back yard. The two, having no choice in the matter, grabbed some things like their visors since it was a hot and sunny spring day. Roxie had rushed up the stairs to grab her sunglasses but then had the incredible urge to write in her new diary.

The two rushed outside and 'played' in the sun for about an hour. By then the two were both thirsty and decided to head inside. "I'm going to get these things off and put them in my room." Roxie told her sister as the headed up the stairs, taking off her shades. As she dropped the shades off, she heard her parents in their room talking. And by the sounds of it; on the phone. Roxie didn't really pay attention, thinking it was her grandma or aunt, both of whom loved to call her mother. But when her dad sighed and then said 'I hate this. Are you sure it's the only way?' she realized it wasn't her grandma. As her sister came up Roxie silently moved closer to the door and listened.

She couldn't hear the other person reply but heard the sigh from her papa. "I never thought I'd have to do this, ever, in my life. They'll never get over it." He said. Roxie glanced to her sister, who was also listening behind her and the two shared a confused look. ~What are they talking about?~ the looks said. "If we knew this would happen, we never wound have taken these jobs, no mater how much money was offered." Roxie's mama said. ~What is going on?~ Roxie wondered even more. Come to think of it, the parents never said a thing about their work.

As the parents continued talking, the girls stayed silent and listened. Both started though, when they heard a sound they never heard before. Crying. Their parents were crying. Really scared now, Laura rushed into her room. Roxie started to follow, when she heard one last thing. "I just hope the girls don't hate us for this forever. Their both so sweet but under that temper in one and silence in the other, their both sensitive. If I'm anywhere near with this happens, I don't know what I'd do."

Roxie then slipped into her room and closed the door. Not seeing Laura at first, Roxie opened the closet door and walked inside. The closest was the girl's favorite place to talk. They can hear out but if they talk in a certain why no one can hear them. Laura was sitting on a crate with a pencil and paper. Once the door closed though she locked eyes with her older sister.

"What on earth were they talking about in there?" she asked, sounding as worried as Roxie felt. "I'm not sure." Roxie replied leaning on a wall. "By the sounds of it, two girls are going to lose their parents and somehow mama and papa got roped into doing it or helping it happens anyway. The question is, why? What can be so bad that parents have to give up their kids?"

Laura didn't have an answer and the two went silent. Over the next few weeks the girls paid close attention to their parents; when they left, their phone calls everything. The girls noticed that their folks starting really going out, trying to have fun with their daughters. Park walks, amusement parks, swimming, a party, all for them. Then they were given gifts. Very heavy gifts. Both girls were shocked to find their parents bought them new laptops and Laura got a tablet to draw with and Roxie got the iPod touch she wanted. Happily they hugged their parents and thanked them. Both caught how tight the hugs were.

Then early one week, Roxie and Laura were given another shock. "You're letting us do what? Go where?" Roxie shouted shocked as her parents nodded from their seats at the table. "We can drive to Cousin Rosa's place this Friday? Really? You're not playing with us?" Laura asked excitedly almost jumping out of her seat. "Yep. We think you girls should have some fun and were planning to take a small trip but work called again. So we decided to let you drive over to Rosa's." When they realized they weren't being tricked both girls jumped up and screamed happily. The rest of the week was filled with the girls packing and getting ready. And for Roxie, taking tests with her father to make sure she didn't get lost. They couldn't wait!
