Here she was. The apartment that Lisa told her about. The Apartment that her older brother was living in. The Apartment where the brother she never knew much about was living and who didn't really know her or might even remember her. How did she find where her older brother was? Well, that would be thanks to her older sister, Lisa...

It was a few days after their father's funeral. Lisa had pulled Lily aside and away from prying ears, and while Lily was confused as to why Lisa wanted to talk in private when they really needed to help out the family, Lisa had told her it was important. Lily reluctantly nodded and followed her into her room. When they entered the room, Lisa locked her door and Lily sat on Lisa's bed Lisa sat in her chair that was by her desk.

"What is this about Lisa?" Lily asked

"It's about our father's last wish" Lisa replied

"Dad's last wish?" Lily asked

Lisa nodded, "I overheard our mother and our 4 eldest siblings talking about our fathers last wish" Lisa said

"Which is?" Lily asked

"He wants us to find Lincoln and bring him back home" Lisa replied

"what!? But how do we find him, we don't even know where he is!" Lily cried

Lisa sighed, "Lily, listen to me, what I'm about to tell you can not leave this room and nor can you tell anyone else in the Family just yet," Lisa said "I... Know where Lincoln has been Living"

Lily was in shock, She had remembered hearing how their family had looked for Lincoln for two years, yet there was no trace of him, Nothing. The Family had tried everything. But now, Lisa knew where their brother was. So many questions had flooded her mind. How long has Lisa known where he was? why didn't she tell the Family? where was Lincoln? was he ok? what happened to him? what was he doing? did he miss them? did he miss her? Did he still care about them?

"How long have you know!?" Lily cried

"Since two year ago..." Lisa replied

"Why didn't you tell us!? Why!?" Lily asked as tears began to form in her eyes

"He would have hated us more if we took him away from his new life Lily" Lisa replied

Lily sobbed a little more, "Why didn't you bring him back!?" Lily asked, "Why didn't you!?"

Lisa sighed heavily "I wanted to Lily, I did, more than anything did I want to have my brother back," Lisa told her youngest sister, "But... I just couldn't tear him from his new home, he would have never forgiven me or the family, we forced him out, hated him, ridiculed him, If we took him back and acted like none of that ever happened, he would despise us all..."

"Why though!?" Lily cried "What did we do to hurt him so much!? Why did Mom and dad take off his photos!? Why did everyone not want me to know that I had a brother!?" Lily asked

Lisa had never told her and the 2nd youngest loud knew that it was time. Time for Lily to know the whole truth. It was the right thing to do, and while it might make things worse it needed to be done in order for their father's last wishes to come true.

After hearing about what her family did, it now made Lily feel ashamed of being a part of her family. The next day Lisa and Lily left for Lancing, letting them know that they would be a few days visiting a supposed friend of Lisa, and later that afternoon, Lily had arrived in Lansing along with Lisa. Lisa was getting them a hotel room to stay at and Lisa made sure it was as close as possible to the neighborhood where Lincoln's apartments were located.
