Breakeven (Complete!! but read caption)

Chapter 1

It's just like a scene in the movies. Everyone dressed in black, the army sergeants carrying the two caskets to their graves...

Like little orphan Annie said, "The sun will come out, tomorrow!" Well, yesterday I sang that to Garrett with tears down my face, and today it's not sunny. It was actually raining.

I slowly trudge up to the open casket with my four year old brother Garrett to say my final goodbyes. "Bye mom. Bye dad. I'll forever miss you." A tear fell. Garrett said nothing. He simply gives them both a little salute and starts crying into my leg. I pick him up and hug him for a long time.

My parents are gone.

I knew the army wasn't a good idea! I tried to tell them... They wouldn't listen....

~~~~~~~FLASHBACK~~~~~~~

"Mommy! Daddy! Please don't go!" I was 11 years old, desperately trying to change my parents' minds. "You can get hurt and I'll never be able to see you again!" I started to cry.

My mom and dad both kneeled down to get to my level. "Baby, everything will be ok. We'll come back for Christmas and your birthdays. I promise. We'll be safe," my dad gently reassured. I hug him and my mom joins in..

~~~~~~~END FLASHBACK~~~~~~

Now look, here I am four years later, watching them be buried.

Many people come to say hi and tell me they were sorry for our loss.

I'm only 15. What did I do to deserve this?

It's around 11 pm and everyone finally left. I was suddenly greeted by a nice looking lady. "Hello! My name is Angela. You must be Leah!"

I fake a smile and correct her. "It's Léa. Like Princess Léa from Starwars."

"Oh, my apologies. I'm with the local children's home. I'm here to take you there till your new legal guardian shows up. Come along!"

She ushers us to a black van. I sit in the back with Garrett and a cute little dog. "Isn't she beautiful? She's a Miniature Schnauzer named Toto."

I ignore her, her perky attitude annoying me, and continue petting the calm creature. We finally arrived.

~~~~~~~******~~~~~*****~~~~***

One week passes on by without me eating or talking, only to Garrett, who stays by my side the entire time.

Angela came into my room. "Pack your stuff and head on down. The taxi is here to take you to the airport. You'll be living with someone in London. Apparently you know them?"

Wait what?

~~~*~**~*****~~~*~**~~*******~*

I've never been on a plane before. It's quite terrifying, actually, but Garrett loved every second of it.

We get into another taxi and drive for about another 10 minutes before getting to a house.

There are 5 guys standing outside. One looked familiar. He steps forward and opens my door, holding out a hand to help me out. I step out, Garrett close behind me.

"Louis? Tomlinson?" I ask in a low whisper.
