Nakamas can be Family
A/N I've been felling a little down today for no reason and this came into my head. It's an angsty Five Children and IT fic about Izz feeling alone after his parents are gone but he learns that friends can become a family.
It was snowing in Calvert County and it signalled Christmas was approaching but not everybody was happy.
Izz had been depressed ever since last week when Jen had given him bad news.
He'd locked himself in Carley's room.
He was wearing black pyjamas with purple on the sleeves. He'd been crying a lot.
He hadn't told the others why he was so sad.
His parents had entered the spirit world after he left Aria for Earth.
It had made him sadder than before. He hadn't laughed or smiled and had started wearing black and listening to Amy Lee on the MP3 player.
He heard his friends laugh. They were outside in the snow having a good time.
Carley was in her Psammead form as it was night time.
He wished he could join them and be happy but it hurt too much.
Leah wondered what was up with Izz but only Carley knew.
She hadn't told them because she knew he wanted to.
Leah wondered where her friend was going as she went inside while she and her brother David were throwing snowballs at each other. She was making something for Izz.
She knew how it felt to hurt and to be alone.
She then went to her room carefully carrying a tray with hot cocoa and chocolate chip cookies with peppermint frosting on them.
She saw Izz lying on the bed with ear buds and Amy Lee blasting out of them. He had red rims around his normally kind snail like eyes.
"T-Thanks. You didn't..... did you?" he asked her.
"Tell the others? No I haven't." she answered.
He smiled sadly at that.
Cookies made him feel better when he was sad or depressed and right now he was both. Leah and the others had noticed this a few days ago but he wouldn't tell them.
"You're a good friend, you know that?" Izz told her.
"Yeah I know that. I'm going downstairs, okay? You know it's okay to let out how you're feeling. Bottling it up makes it worse." she said leaving the room.
Later that night Elisa and Leah were woken by soft crying and Elisa went to find out what it was. She found out it was her brother. Izz was sleep walking and dreaming about his family.
"It's okay!
It's me Elisa." she said gently but gasped a little seeing tears mat his soft grey fur along with bite marks.
"Maybe I should tell Leah this. I've never seen him so sad and depressed. I wonder what's going on?" she thought leaving him......
