I sank against the wall, my body shaking with sobs. Because, if I let go, the few walls still holding my world together would collapse.

I leaned back in my chair, staring up at the ceiling. My homework was done, my chores, and there was absolutely nothing to do.
"Amu-chan!" Ran, Miki, Su, and Dia all squealed at the same time. They flew towards me at full speed. "Help us!"
My little sister came running into the room. "Charas!" she cheered.
"Ami leave them alone."
"Aw," she pouted. "I wanted to dress them up, Sis!"
Something you should know about Ami is that she has full control over her tear ducts. She stared up into my face, tears sparkling in her eyes.
"Stand strong, Amu-chan!" Miki yelled.
I chuckled and patted my charas' heads. "Come on, Ami. I'll make you a snack. Su? Help me with that please."
"Yay! Snacktime!" Ami (and not surprisingly my charas) cheered. I smiled and made my way to the kitchen.
