I woke up the next morning to Li shaking me. "JUNE!" she cried "WAKE UP!" I looked over and saw a look of excitement on her face "JUNE! we left a day early. as long as we are back by 6 Tè léi shā says we can go explore this place. we are only two hours away from the valley of peace so..."
"Wait, wait" I said "Did Tè léi shā or Yuēsèfu say where we are?"
"Ya" she replied "Some town called Nylan. It only has like 30 people though."
"My cousins live here." I thought out loud. Li looked at me with confusion.
"I thought your dad was an only child." She said still looking confused.
"Ya but my mom is a twin. glad they are not identical." I replied, while getting up and putting on my clothes . I had two cousins in Nylan named Val and Harmony. last I heard they got adopted by their friends mom. "Come on" I said once I was done "You gotta meet them." So we left.
We ran up to the address Val had sent me. I then knocked on the door. "Hello" I heard a familiar voice say while the door opened. "June!" Harmony yelled as she opened the door.
"Hey, Harmony how are you?" I asked. I was so happy. I hadn't seen them since before I broke my shoulder.
"I am good." She said "Val is at her other friend Keegans house."
"Oh" I said "Ok, well I haven't eaten breakfast yet so, bye"
"Bye" Harmony replied. Without Val there, Me and Harmony have very strange conversations.
Li and I walked around for a bit before we came back to the inn. We ate a simple breakfast. After that we decided to explore Nylan. It was just a simple day. That is, until Mǐqí showed up. We were hanging out by a field guarded by a fence. "Give me the money!" I heard him call out.
"Why would I pay you money I don't owe you!" I yelled back. He then slapped me as hard as he could "Are you kidding me?" I taunted "I have been slapped by Li before! She is way stronger than you!"
"Li wouldn't do this" He said. what does he my thoughts were interrupted when he slammed my broken shoulder into the wooden fence that surrounded the field.
"AHHH!" I screamed. He then disappeared. "Oh I HATE him!" I yelled.
"Are you okay?" Li asked
"Do I look okay?" She just looked and nodded her head. I stayed there for a while.
"June" Li started "It's almost 6. We should get going." I nodded my head. I grabbed my left shoulder as we walked back to the inn. I was still crying in pain when we got there. I ran up to the room and laid down on my bed. I lifted up my sleeve to reveal that Mǐqí had re-injured my shoulder. "I got you some ice" Li said as she put it over the scar. Her face looked worried. She lifted up the ice pack "Oh my... June, I can see your bone! Its snapped in half! Didn't it used to just be cracked?"
"Yes" I said in disbelief "Go get Tè léi shā!" Li ran off. She came back a few minuets later.
"Li, whats wrong?" Li pointed to my shoulder. Tè léi shā took a closer look. "There isn't a hospital around here. Don't worry, I will make sure your arm is okay" I nodded as she left. I laid back down and fell asleep.
Tè léi shā woke us up early the next morning. "Come on" She said sweetly "You should stay with me" She then took me down to eat. After breakfast she found a rag and wrapped it around my scar. It hurt. We then left for the valley of peace. After two hours of walking we finally made it.
"Alright June" Tè léi shā said "Lets get you to the hospital. Yuēsèfu take every one to the theater." Once at the hospital the doctor simply wrapped a bandage around my bad arm.
"Just let it heal on its own" He said
"Okay" I replied. Tè léi shā and I some how got to the dress rehearsal on time. I stayed in the costume hall where curtains were hung for every one to change until Li and 4 other kids came in to get some props. Then we all went on stage for the curtain call. I was a little embarrassed because my bandage went to my wrist and our uniforms were short selves. Once public relations was on stage we began to sing. finally after a long minuet of singing we sang the last two lines "Warts and all (Holding the all) HONK!" I was the only one who could only do jazz hand instead of hands, but oh well. after words Jiā bù and I ran to the costume hall for the cast members to get dressed. After the cast left Jiā bù and I started counting the costumes. "All here are accounted for" I said smiling
"Here too" she said with a smirk. We then left with Tè léi shā to find the inn she had reservations for.
When we got to the inn every one else was waiting. We checked in and every one went to their rooms. We got a regular hotel room this time (With two beds of course). I couldn't get comfortable on the bed for some reason. I threw off the pillows. That didn't work. I got rid of a blanket, that didn't work. I then decided to just deal with it. And I slowly fell asleep.
