- Paige's POV -

It's New Year's Eve, Mom and Mama drove to Tampa yesterday for camp since they got called up, and who knows why I didn't get called up. Since I'm not gonna be at this camp, I'm not gonna be on the roster for she believes, so I'm basically just gonna have a super long summer because I did all my work over break.

I just go up and ready to go for a run, and I'm taking Logan with me so I grab her leash and put it on her before we leave.

After we've ran about five miles, we start to run back.

Once back home, I lock the front door and Logan runs off to her bed. I grab a bottle of water from the fridge before going upstairs to shower, then I get dressed in black joggers, a basic white t-shirt, and a white US Soccer hoodie on top, with a black snapback. I then walk downstairs and turn on the TV, trying to find something to watch. I can't find anything to watch so why not just go live on Insta?

As soon as I start the live, people start flooding in and everyone is saying hi.

"Hey everyone, how are y'all doing today?" I say with a smile and I can't even read the comments. It looks like everyone's saying good so I'll just go with it. "That's great! And I saw some of you asking about me, I'm good and my day is good! I just got back from a run with Logan. Logy come here!" I call fr Logan who jumps up on the couch and lays across me. The comments calm down for a minute and I can see some of the girls commenting.

"We miss you Paigey!" Rose says. "I miss you all Rose!" I say. "I miss my babies." Mom comments. "I miss you, Mom. Not really sure about Logy here." I laugh. "Hi babe." Mal comments. "Hi, love." I say with a smile and she comments emojis. She comments the kiss one, a heart following it, and then the heart eyes one. "Oh stop it." I laugh as I feel my cheeks heat up. "Oh just watch the lovebirds." Kelley comments. "Kelley Maureen O'Hara." I say. "Yes?" She comments in return which I barely see because of the fans. "Don't start." I say. "Okay." She comments. Then everyone is commenting again. "Hey Taylor, Kenzie, Daniel, and everyone else saying hi who has just joined." I greet. I then see Sam's comment pop up. "Thanks for the wand! You're my favorite." She says causing me to laugh when Sonnett, Lindsey, and Mal take offense. "You're welcome." I say then the doorbell rings, causing me to look towards the door. Logan starts barking as she gets off me. I can see moms commenting so I take my phone with me as I get up. "I don't know yet Moms. I haven't answered the door!" I say. I walk to the front door and look out the small peep hole and freeze. "No way. I'll be back later. Bye guys." I say and end the stream in shock. I slowly open the front door just as the doorbell rings again.

"I thought you were dead."

- Ash's POV -

We're all in the meal room and some of us are watching Paige's live. We hear the doorbell ring in the house.

Paige goes to answer it but tells everyone on the stream bye and ends it.

"What the fuck?" I say. "I swear to God if someone is trying to hurt her." Ali says. "Babe calm down, she'll be fine." I say as I'm trying to call Paige. She's not answering.

- Paige's POV -

"I never died." The man says. "Come in." I say and let him in. "What are you doing here?" I ask. "Why do you sound upset about it, Paigey? I'm finally back. I'm safe." He says. "But the thing is is how long until you're gone again. You were old enough to take us in. But no, you let Danielle and I get separated. I wasn't even sure if you knew about Mom and Dad." I say, starting to let tears fall. "Paigey it wasn't my fault that I went missing for over eleven years. And what happened? Is Danielle not here? Who's house is this?" He asks. "Oh my god, you don't even know." I say putting my hand over my mouth as more tears stream. "What, Paige?" The man says. "Brandon, our parents are dead." I say. "Then whose house is this?" He says after a few minutes of silence. "My adoptive parents. They're out of town." I say. "And where's our sister?" He asks. "She's probably at her place." I say. "But where were you all this time? When you should've been here for us. We weren't even told you were missing." I say as I walk and hug my older brother tightly, not caring about my tears getting on his BDU. My older brother, who would now be thirty, joined the Army when he was eighteen, which was the year before the accident. He hugs me back. "I was in Iraq. It doesn't matter anymore though. I'm here." He says. He helps me calm down and as I go to ask him if he wants anything, the doorbell rings again. I answer it after wiping my eyes.

"Pai, are you okay? Your moms called and were freaking out so I came t-" Danielle stops speaking when I move aside to reveal our brother. "B- Brandon?" She stutters. "It's me." He says and Danielle walks in and hugs him. "I should probably go call my moms." I say. "You're welcome to any drinks or food." I say and walk upstairs to my room.

"Paige, are you okay?" Mama immediately asks through the phone. "Yes I'm okay." I say and give a soft laugh. "Who was at the door?" I hear Mom ask. I take a deep breath before speaking. "Long story short, Danielle and I have a brother we haven't seen or heard from since before our parents died and he showed up." I say. "Paige why would you not tell us about this?" Mama asks. "Because it hurt to. I'm fine now but I know you're busy so I'm not gonna say the whole story." I say. "Alright, Paige. You will be telling us the story when we get back." Mama says sternly. "Okay, Mama." I say. "We have to go, but be careful when you go out and make sure to check in." She says. "I know. Love you all, bye." I say. "We love you too, bye Paige." Mama says and I end the call. I let out a sigh as I walk back downstairs to laughter, causing me to smile.

"Paige, who's your parents?" Brandon asks me. I silently stand up and point to pictures. "Have you not seen any of these pictures? There literally this huge portrait of us!" I say. "I didn't notice them because I wasn't pay- YOUR MOMS ARE ASH AND ALI?!" He yells. He's a big soccer fan. "Yes." I laugh and so does Danielle. "I mean." I say and turn around, holding up my hood so he can see the back of my hoodie, which reads PK Harris with my number, 24. I turn back around and point to the crest. It's basically a jersey, but a hoodie version that was customly made. "And you're on the National Team?!" He exclaims. "Yep. I just wasn't called up to camp." I say. "Ohh who's the coach because you deserve to be called up and this coach is gonna ha-" "Nope. It's fine. I shouldn't technically be on the team at my age anyways." I say. "But also what's this about you being a young one in love?" Brandon says with a smirk. "EL WHY'D YOU TELL HIM?" I exclaim playfully. "He's a brother, he has to know things." She says and shrugs. "She's in love too." I say. "HEY!" El exclaims and throws a couch pillow at me which I catch. "You out me, I out you." I smirk. "This. Is. Wonderful. Tell meee." Brandon says causing us to laugh. "They're both national team players. I'm with Mallory Pugh and she's with Emily Sonnett." I say. "Hmmm seems like I have some ladies to talk to." Brandon says. "Oh dear lord. WAIT that didn't end well the last time." Danielle says. "But that was a guy and he broke your heart so he deserved it." Brandon says, and I'm confused as they talk. "You don't have a problem with us being gay?" I ask. "No or I would've said something Paige." Brandon says with a smile.

THIS IS SOOOO NICE!
