"Please Kelly, we need to stay with you tonight," Silver begged her older sister. "I don't know, I'm supposed to go on a date tonight. What's the big event why do you need to stay with me so bad?" Kelly asked walking Silver down the hallway. "Nothing, it's fine, just don't forget to call and say goodnight to Ava okay?" Silver turned to her classroom. "I won't," Kelly answered walking the other direction. Silver sighed and headed into class.
That night Silver sat with her younger sister Ava. "Can I sleep with you or are we sleeping at Kelly's?" The 5 year old asked. "I don't know, but we're not going to bed now, we're going to go get something to eat," Silver answered taking her sisters hand and pulling her off the bed. "Where are your shoes? And your sweater?" Ava ran into her own room to get her things so they could leave.
"So Dixon, you really like Silver huh?" Annie asked. "Yeah, we're going out to eat soon, you should come," Dixon said closing his laptop. "No, thanks, I have way too much homework. And I have to go over lines for the musical," Annie answered. "Right.. Well have fun with that!" Dixon said grabbing his jacket, "I'll see you later."
"Can't we go somewhere else tonight, I don't want to go home," Ava asked her big blue eyes full of fear. Silver ran her hand through Ava's dark hair. "I don't know kiddo, we might have to sleep in the car tonight." Ava looked nervous and starred at the floor. "It'll be okay, I'll take care of you," Silver said pulling into the parking lot of the beach. Silver got out and grabbed Ava's hand. "Hold my hand, and don't let go," She said making sure her sister didn't get lost.
Dixon looked all around the beach for Silver. He spotted her across by the cars with a small girl at her side. Dixon had seen her with Silver before but never asked about it. "Silver! Hey, how are you doing?" Dixon asked. "I'm good, Dixon, this is my sister Ava," Silver introduced. Dixon was surprised he had no idea Silver had another sister. "Oh, Hi Ava," Dixon waved. Ava stood close to Silver burying her head in her hip. "She's shy sorry, I had to bring her, she won't be a bother I promise," Silver said. Dixon smiled, "It's all good," He answered grabbing her other hand.
"You can come back to my house if you want, we just got a new pool table," Dixon said. "Is that supposed to be a subtle way of challenging me?" Silver asked. "Well, actually that was a subtle way of me telling you I'll whoop you in pool," Dixon laughed. "Yeah, sure, as long as Ava can come, if she can like watch a movie or something she'll be fine," Silver said looking at Ava who was playing with a hermit crab in the sand. "She's really cute, and quiet," Dixon said. "Yeah, she is pretty cute most of the time, she's just extremely shy except for with me and Kelly," Silver answered. "Oh, and I'm sure you're a great big sister," Dixon said. Silver smiled, and chased after Ava who was starting to run down the beach.
