Ch.9 Application
As I fall asleep comfortably in Noah's lap, the thought what happened yesterday brushes past my mind.
"She's my sister." I said. Noah didn't have much of a reaction when he heard this. He just raised his eyebrows, silently telling me to go on.
I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. "She's six years older than me. i don't remember much about her though." That was true. I spent the last six years trying to forget about her and move on. I didn't know that I would actually forget. However, I can still remember the night before she left vividly. A shiver ran down my spine.
"How come?" Noah asked.
"Huh?" I said distracted by my thoughts.
"How come you don't remember much of your sister?"
"I honestly don't know. I guess it's because I haven't seen her in six years." I lied.
Noah raised an eyebrow. "Um, she ran away from home, and I haven't seen her since." Another shiver raced down my spine. "Don't ask me why because I don't know."
"I won't" Noah gave me a small smile and ran a hand through his blonde locks. "Wow, I wish I had blonde hair." I blurted off topic. Noah's head jerked towards me and he blushed.
"So do you a least know where she is?" He asked, his face still a little red. I sighed and walked out of the bathroom to squish myself onto the couch. "No, I haven't gotten any sign from her ever since she left." Noah flipped off the switch of the bathroom and plopped next to me. "I am going to try though." I continue. "I have a theory that she changed her name because as far as I know, the only thing under Kristen Fuller, is a missing poster." I look at Noah, who has his eyes widened in surprise. "What?" ask.
"I think I might know her." He says.
"What do you mean?"
Noah puts his hands on my shoulders "I saw her name on a volunteer application. I mean I didn't know her name so I didn't think of it at first, bit then you said that her name was Kristen Fuller and I remember that in an application at this orphanage that I work in. I think it was last year or something but she was six years older than you, she was twenty three."
Noah knew my sister? Noah knew my sister! I can find her after five weeks of research! I can finally see my sister.
I put my hands on Noah's shoulders and give him a small shake. "Please don't tell me your joking." I say grinning for what seems like years. "I'm not kidding." Noah says grinning back.
I wrap my arms around him and squeeze him so hard, I don't know if he was still breathing. He returns the hug. I unwrap my arms from him and I feel a zing of electricity run down my spine. "I'm going to see my sister Noah!" I get up from the couch and pump my fists in the air. "I'm going to see my sister!" I shout, not caring if I bothered the neighbors or not.
"Let's go." I say dashing to the door. "Lets go right now Noah! I can see her soon, maybe today, maybe right now!" I'm about to yank the door open when I feel a hand grab my wrist. "Woah, hold on." Noah says. "Lets think first. The application was last year, so I'm pretty sure its all deleted." I feel all my excitement dissolve away and my smile turns into a frown. "But I'll try my hardest to find them okay?" I give a weak smile. "Yeah, okay." A glimmer of hope wriggles into my insides.
I let go of the door knob and Noah lets go of my wrist. I put my hand over my mouth and give a yawn. "Man, what time is it?" I ask snagging a glance on my watch. I give another yawn and I see that it's almost seven PM. "Hey, you should get going." I say. "It's probably dark outside." Noah nods and gives me a pat on the head. "Goodnight Amy." He says, opening the door and stepping out. "Goodnight Noah." I respond, closing the door behind him with a gentle click.
Dang, I still have to do extra credit for tomorrow. I think to myself. I lean against the cool metal door and let out a content sigh. I'm finally going to see her. My heart fills up with butterflies thinking of how she's going to react. I keep thinking about her eighteen year old self though, I can't imagine her six years older.
A/N: I'm not dead! Also I'll try to update at least once every two weeks. So far school started and I'm trying to focus more on that. K bye.
