Invisible Feelings
by: Terrell James
Crash woke up in the middle of the night and looked up at the night sky and thought about his mom. He sighed heavily and said, "I wish you were here right now. You'd always help me out."
"What's wrong, Crash?" a voice came from behind.
He turned around and saw his brother, Eddie coming behind him. Crash answered, "I just keep having these dreams about mom. I can't stop thinking about her."
Eddie sat down next to him and said, "Look, I'm feeling the same way you are, but we have to look out for ourselves and Ellie."
"It's just really complicated. How do I get over this?" asked Crash.
"She left us. That's really messed up. If we were together again, it wouldn't be so hard. With the two of us, we're like a team. A very cool team." said Eddie.
"I'm really glad we're on the same team. It's really cool." said Crash.
"The thing is, we just have to be lucky that we have each other and Ellie, Manny, Sid and Diego." said Eddie.
"Yeah, We just love to get on that drool-toothed tiger's case, don't we?" asked Crash.
Eddie chuckles and said, "Yeah, we had some good times, didn't we?"
"We all did." said Crash.
Manny, Ellie and Diego were walking from the cave and saw them talking to each other. Manny said, "Hey, guys. What you up to?"
"Nothing. We're just talking." said Crash.
"That's nice." said Ellie.
"Just coming in to hang out?" asked Eddie.
"Well, sorta." answered Manny.
"We wanted to get away from Sid because he's beating us at truth or dare." said Diego.
"Yeah, he always wins." said Manny.
"Come on, guys. I'm gonna beat you on the next round." said Sid.
Manny, Ellie and Diego groaned heavily and went back to the cave, looking kinda livid. Eddie said, "You know, maybe you should beat him on his own game."
Diego liked the idea and said, "You know what, I think it's time we give Sid a little what-for. What do you say?"
"I'm with you." said Manny.
They went back to the cave, now looking confident. Crash and Eddie kept talking some more. Eddie said, "I'm really lucky to have a brother like you."
"Really?" asked Crash.
"Yep. Even though we fight sometimes, we always have each other's back, all the time." said Eddie.
"How come we always like each other so much?" asked Crash.
"We're brothers. We can see ourselves when we're invisible." said Eddie.
"Yeah, with two possums, nothing's impossible." said Crash.
"I agree. I'm heading back to the cave and see Sid lose. Want to come?"
"I'll be there in a minute."
Eddie walked back to the cave, leaving Crash feeling a bit content. He looked at the sky and realizes that their mom will be looking out for them always. He sung a little song to himself to think about his mom.
Like a grain on the beach
Like a star in the sky
Far too many to count with the naked eye
They won't see you
Go ahead
Walk on by
You don't know I'm alive
Maybe one day you'll find
You should open your eyes
You don't know me
You're the one who looked right through me
Now you're saying that you knew me
When I was invisible
And you're the one who walked right through me
Now you're saying that you knew me
When I was invisible
Little things adding up
Try so hard not to rush
Giving in, letting go of the world we know
They won't see you
Force it down
Lose the taste
They all think it's a waste
We don't need to believe every word they say, now
They don't know me
You're the one who looked right through me
Now you're saying that you know me
When I was invisible
And you're the one who walked right through me
Now you're saying that you know me
When I was invisible
It's so easy to be lost
But maybe you're not lost at all
Do you recognize me?
Do you know who I am?
Do you see me now?
Do you see me now?
You're the one who looked right through me
Now you're saying that you know me
When I was invisible
And you're the one who walked right through me
Now you're saying that you know me
When I was invisible
I'm invisible
I'm invisible...
Crash looked at the sky again and smiled to himself. Then, he walked back to the cave to join the others for a truth or dare thing.
