Located: Lauren. Updated.

As of 4:27 (which is 14 minutes ago, as I type this) I know where Lauren is. I got a text message from a number I didn't recognize. Turns out its my littlest sister's best friend, and my sister is living there. She hasn't answered my text messages because her phone is broken. This is both good and bad.

Good because:
I know where my sister is, obviously.
I know the family well, and trust them. Also, Lauren loves them.
My sister has phone access, (although not right now because shes still working on her homework, and she has to finish it before she uses the phone) so I can talk to her later.

Bad because:
Only Lauren is there. She and Manda aren't together, and I know that being together was important to them.
I still don't know where Manda is
Or why Manda hasn't texted me.

But none the less, I'm relieved to know where one of my sisters is, and glad that she's in a familiar place, with people she loves who will take good care of her. Plus, they live in the same town, which means Lauren doesn't have to switch schools or anything, even though she isn't at home anymore.

Also, earlier I finally got up the guts to text my mother but she responded that she was furious with me. Apparently, this is all my fault. Awesome.

UPDATE: Located: Manda.
Two hours after this was posted I got a text message from Manda. Apparently I misunderstood earlier. She's staying there too.  Relief.
