After 3 days

Louis had already left for London. He had made himself busy in work while Hope stayed in the the house. She was quite and unhappier than before. She sat near the window with her head against the wall.

"Hope what is wrong?"Said Mary Who was standing at the door.

"Mary how long have you been standing over there"said Hope.

"Not long"said Mary and sat near Hope.

"It has been three days since you are here you haven't left your room and even talked to any of us"said Mary.

"I don't know what is wrong with me. I don't know why but I miss mom even more. Home doesn't seems like home anymore."said Hope.

"My poor child come here"she said and hugged Hope.

"Where is Nancy"said Hope.

"She is on vacation with her friend. Bob didn't informed her about you. He thought to give her a surprise"said Mary.

"Surprise haha it's better she gets a surprise"said Hope.

"Do you want to drink coffee"said Mary.

"Yeah"said Hope.

"Come downstairs we will go out for a walk"said Mary.

"Yeah I will be there in a minute"said Hope.

After drinking coffee they both went out for a walk.

"So how does it feel after being kidnapped for one month"said Mary.

"Seriously I don't know everything seems so change. It has been just one month and everything is different"she said.

"Well you will get over it"said Mary.

"Do you remember the place we used to go when we were little"said Mary.

"Yeah the tree house near the park"said Hope.

"Ahah come on let's go over there let's see who will get their first"said Mary and she started running.

"Wait for me Mary"said Hope and laughed.

"Damn i can't run anymore. These bones are old now"said Mary. She ran so fast that she was out of breath.

"Oh it's finally here"said Hope and went inside the tree house. It was constructed around the trunk of one of the mature trees near the park.

"Let's go inside"said Mary.

"Okay"she said and went inside.

"It's still beautiful"said Hope.

"Yeah except those spider webs and nests it's beautiful"said Mary.

"Bob made it from his heart. We used to come here often. But after mummy's death no one came here."she said.

"Well yeah I remember how you and Nancy would sneak into this tiny house at night"said Mary. After hearing this Hope got a little bit upset.

"Did Nancy ever talked or missed me while I was gone"said Hope.

"Not much she avoided to talk to the cops and spent most of the time with her boyfriend"she said.

"So she has a boyfriend. Is his name Paul"said Hope.

"Yes how do you know"said Mary.

"That doesn't matter. Come on let's go home"said Hope. While going home they ran into Liam Hope's high school friend.

"Hey Hope"said Liam.

"Hey Liam"said Hope.

"Are you fine. How are dealing with it"said Liam.

" Thanks for asking Liam I am fine. "said Hope.
