I'll be the Brightest, You'll See

Alysha's P.O.V

People think I'm just a quiet, soft spoken girl with a smoking body. They don't realise how much more I have to offer the world and somehow I think Mike sees that in me. And believe me that makes everything so much more exciting. The thing is, I've been working out a plan for about 2 weeks on how to find Scarlett's parents.

It all started a month ago when I overheard my mom talking to someone on the phone. I didn't really catch a name but I listened in on the conversation, she didn't know I was even there actually, since I don't live with her I went to visit her but anyway. She mentioned something about a passport and visa. Then I heard her mention England. I don't know much about England to be honest but it sounded like the person my mom was talking to needed help. When she got off the phone I sneakily did a redial on the number and Scarlett's mom answered.

Now I didn't know what to do with the information but I decided to write down the number and do a little tracing. Turns out that Scarlett's parents were staying in Leeds, England. I remembered that Scarlett and Mike both mentioned a guy they new from Sheffield which is kinda near Leeds I think. Oli his name was. I decided to tell Mike my findings, but I didn't want him telling anyone else.

When I told him he was so shocked and surprised that I found out so effortlessly. I mean the police claimed to be on the search for my uncle, his wife and their kidnapped grandchild but haven't found a thing. Unless they were paid off, which wouldn't surprise me. Mike contacted Oli and told him about our findings, apparently Oli lived near the address I had and decided to go and have a look. It was them.

For the past week I've been trying to figure out what to do, how to tell Vic and Scarlett that I know where their child is but apparently Scarlett is dating Alex, she thinks we don't know but we do and Vic has locked himself in a cabin deep into the woods. Today it was going to change.

I knocked on the door of Scarlett's house, after about 3 minutes of waiting and continuous knocking she finally answered. "Alysha? What are you doing here? Don't you have a shoot today?" She quizzed me. I looked across the street and found Mike dragging Vic out their house. He must've convinced him to come back.

"Got some big news for you and Vic." I grinned at her. She looked at me and then over to Mike.

"Oh my God are you and Mike having a baby?" She gushed. I rolled my eyes and pointed into the house, following her in. After we got into the living room I heard Mike and Vic entering the house. Mike sat Vic down on the couch next to Scarlett and they gave each other a concerned look as me and Mike stood in front of them waiting to explode. Suddenly Alex walked into the living room, I could see the heartbreak in Vic's eyes.

"What is it you guys want?" Vic asked, as he slyly looked at Alex sit down on the other couch.

"Okay, I have something to tell you guys, I don't wanna have you hate me for how long it's taken me to tell you but I know where your kid is." I blurted out.

Scarlett and Vic both stared at me with wide open mouths and dead eyes. "What?!" Scarlett almost shouted.

"Let me explain. I had to make sure it was them and it wasn't a mistake. They're in Leeds in England, we contacted Oli to find out if it was them and it is." I told them. Vic looked so distraught.

"How did you find out?" Vic asked, screwing up his face.

"I heard my mom talking to someone on the phone, it was your mom Scarlett. I got a hold of the number and then traced it through the phone books. I don't know if they're using a neighbours phone or whatever but it's there. It's them." I wanted them to believe me.

"Do we go?" Scarlett looked at Vic. I wanted it to be them, together again. But Alex was still here.

"I want to." Vic told her, her eyes lit up.

"I'll go pack a bag." She said standing up, Alex got up and followed her. Leaving me, Vic and Mike in the living room.

"I hope he's not coming." Vic said bitterly. I looked at Mike with a sympathetic smile. I felt so bad for Vic.

"Me too." I mumbled. Vic looked up at us with a pleading face.

"Come with us." He asked.

"Are you serious?" Mike raised an eyebrow.

"Of course, I need you guys." He frowned.

"We will be coming." I reassured Vic. He gave us a weak smile and it melted my heart. I hope one day I will be able to call him my brother because he means a lot to me, like family.

Notes

Oh my, things are getting serious now
