| Chapter 3:Searching Lana laid in her bed thinking where her little sister was.She pushed away the pain of what might of happened to her.Then she heard the doorbell ring.As she walked down the stairs,she remembered today was her birthday.But with what was happening around her,she couldn't careless.She ran to answer the door as she heard singing.She looked out the window beside the door.She smiled at what she saw.She opened the door and saw Chris and the rest of the guys with a rose in each of their hands.So altogether she had gotten TEN roses!She smiled as she invited them in and they each gave her their roses to her.She couldn't stop smiling as she gave each of them a kiss.Chris was the most surprised when he recieved his kiss.Lana knew it was because they hadn't gotten to share their first kiss since they had missed their first date.Lana just hugged him and told them to sit down.She ran to the nearest vase and filled it with water.She heard the guys talking in the living room as she filled up the beautiful clear glass vase.She took the roses and brought them to the coffee table near the living room.She neatly arranged them and then walked back to the kitchen to wash her hands.When she reached the faucet,she heard singing once again and she stopped and slowly walked back to the living room.When she got there,she saw the guys singing and dancing her Fave DS song,Let's Get Funky Tonight.She laughed and went over to dance with them.Then she heard the doorbell again.She looked out the window and saw that it was Lily.She opened the door for her.Lana didn't have to worry about the Lily seeing the guys there.She told her that she was the one Chris called to, and not her.When she walked in,she gave Lana her present and walked over to the guys. ********************************************************* "Hey guys! What's up?",Lily asked they finished the song. "Everythang's al'ight here..............and you?",Matt asked as he sat down near Lana.Chris watched as Matt settled himself next to Lana.He felt a pang of jealousy.He laughed as Matt annoyed her.Chris kept on laughing and everyone joined in as Lana sat there annoyed at Matt.But she couldn't help but smile.Matt kept making weird and funny faces at Lana.Everyone cracked up ,including Lana, laughing. "Oh,Matt!",Lana said trying to hold back her laughter as she hugged him.Matt just laughed and hugged her back.Chris felt that little pang of jealousy grow bigger and just pushed it away and laughed with the rest of the group .*************************************************** The phone rang,and Lana got up to answer it.She checked the caller ID and saw it was the police station.She quickly picked it up and then sadly thought of her sister.The others looked at her and immediatly became quiet. "Hello?Um....Lana?This is Officer Dorian.I wanted to tell you that we have not yet found your sister.....but we have found someone who might know where she might be.This is because she was the last person to see your sister.We need you over here right now.",Officer Dorian said to Lana as she sighed.She knew the procedure,but this was the first time that they had actually found someone that knew something. "Okay,Officer Dorian I'll be right over.Thank you for letting me know.I'll see you in a few.Bye",Lana responded as she thought this is how she was going to spend her birthday. "I'll come with you, Lana..............if you want me to.",Chris told her as she smiled at him. "So will we..............if you want us to.",Lily told her as the other boys nodded and stood up.Lana just nodded and headed for the door.They all followed her quietly.Chris caught up with Lana and put his right arm around her shoulder as she walked.They all stayed quiet throughout the walk. ********************************************************* "................and I last saw her with some tall man.I thought it was your father.",Erika said to Officer Dorian and Lana.Lana felt tears come out of nowhere.She quickly wiped it away,but realized it was too late.They had all seen her.She broke down and started to cry.Chris grabbed her before she fell to the floor and then held her tightly.She continued to cry as Erika,a friend of Caity's,told her she was sorry .Lana just shook her head and told Erika it wasn't her fault. "You didn't know,Erika!It's not completely your fault......it's mine.I should have been watching her.",Lana told her as her tears started to dry.She smiled at Erika and let go of Chris.Chris tried to force a smile at Lana.He didn't want her to see his pain for her.Lana grabbed his hand and they walked out of the Police station.The others waited a minute then followed them.Chris let go of her hand and slipped his arm around her shoulder.She put her head on his shoulder as they walked on.It was about 8:30 and they all were hungry. "Do any of you people want to eat?",Jesse asked.Lana lifted her head and nodded. "Duh!",Lily said.Lana laughed and they headed for a pizza parlor.They finished eatinng around 9:00 and they all parted after that.All of them exept for Lana and Chris.Chris and Lana headed straight for the park.The moon was out and it was very quiet.Nothing was heard.Chris used this silence to his advantage to talk to Lana. "Lana,I don't know how you feel right now.......but,always know that I am here to talk to, alright?",Chris explained to her as she felt those tears come back.She thought to herself what a crybaby she was.But she couldn't help but smile at him for being so sincere.She laid her head on his shoulder as he hummed a DS song to her.She watched the moon as Chris sang to her.The wind blew gently on them,so Lana snuggled into Chris more.Chris put his head on her head and and continued to hum.Lana fell asleep in his arms as he hummed more softly. ********************************************************* |
