"Home sweet home!" Claire shouted as her and her brother Chris was inside the house.
Chris glances around the living room and then starts to remember something…
"Chris!" Claire shouted from upstairs.
"What?!" He shouted playing video games with his best friend Piers Nivans. "Dude, do you guys always scream towards each other like that or?"
"Pretty much all the time. Claire and I are pretty close but argue a lot." "Yeah! Guess what I found out in my tub?" "What?" "A fake rat!"
Chris chuckles and puts his remote controller down on the table. "Look, I did not do that. Besides, how come every time something bad happens to you you automatically accuse me?"
"Hmm…let's see. Because you're the one who always do it!"
"Hey man, I think I'm gonna' go and leave you and your sister alone." "No! You sit down!" Piers did what he was told and Claire gave Piers a fake smile and then put her attention back on Chris. "I want the truth! Did you do it?!"
"Obviously yes. Now please leave Piers and I alone? Oh and the reason why I done it was because that was revenge for putting lotion in my cereal!"
Chris flash back ends and Claire continue to wave her hand in front of his face. "Hello? Chris?" "Oh sorry Claire." "Hey! You remember my name!" "Yeah…you're my little sister." "Oh my God! Mom! Chris is starting to get his memory back!" "Yeah I see."
"You remember me too buddy right?" Piers ask Chris. Chris thought for a moment and said, "Uh…sorry?" "Dude! We're best friends! Piers? Piers Nivans?!" "Pear Nivans? Why would your mother name you after a fruit?" "She didn't!" "Hey um Piers? I think you should go head home and get ready for college tomorrow."
"You're right Mrs. Redfield. Thanks." Piers leave the house and Claire laughs. "Pear Nivans."
"You know what? Claire?" "Yes mom?" "Why don't you take your brother to his favorite diner around here? Maybe he will remember that?" "Yeah sure whatever. Let's go Chris. I hope you remember how to drive." She joked.
Chris follows his sister out of the house and they both were outside the car. "Alright Chris. You drive." She threw the car keys at him and he quickly catches them. "Um…okay?" He went to the driver seat. Claire climb into the passenger seat and took out her phone to text her friends.
Chris started the car and began to drive. "Wow. You remember how to drive huh?" "I guess so?" "Chris. Do you even know how you don't remember things?" "Claire. I'm not stupid nor slow when it comes to things alright? I still know how to cook, clean, drive, talk, walk, work, and also know my education. It's just I can't remember how I got into a coma and people. That's the only two things I cannot remember."
"Hmm…sorry?" "It's alright loser." Claire stops texting one of her friends to look at Chris who was focusing on the wheel. "What?" He asks. "Did you just call me a loser?" "Are you about to call me a dork Claire?" "Oh my God Chris! I think you remember everything about me!" "Of course I do! You're my little annoying sister! How can't I remember you?"
Claire puts her head on Chris's neck and pokes him. "Alright dork. Stop talking and focus on the wheel." "Alright bossy."
The car was silent for the next five minutes until Claire started to laugh while looking at her phone screen. "What's so funny?" "Oh nothing. I'm talking to my friends Helena and Sherry. Do you remember them?" "No?" Claire shrugs softly. "Don't blame you."
The car stops at a parking lot and him and his sister got of the car. "You know Chris…ever since you've been in a coma…I haven't come here in such a really long time." "Really? Claire. Just because I was in a coma doesn't mean you don't have to come here like we usually do." She sighs and says, "Yeah I know but it just doesn't feel right when you're not there."
"Wow. You must've missed me?" Claire and Chris were walking inside of the huge diner and everyone inside started to stare at him. Chris was a bit confused and nervous how why everyone was staring at him. "Let's walk quickly." Claire whispered inside his ear.
As the two Redfield's were heading to their usual seat, a girl passes by Chris and accidently bumps him. She quickly turns around without noticing who it is and says, "Oh. I am so sorry!" Chris stops walking and including Claire.
"Oh not it's okay." Chris told her smiling. A little girl appears behind the girl's leg and Claire said. "Oh my God! Jill! How are you?" Jill and Claire hugged each other and Chris was left confused. He hated to feel confused. "I'm been fine actually."
Claire got on one knee and patted the little girl behind Jill. "Don't be afraid of me. We've met before! Remember two weeks ago when you've drop your vanilla ice cream on the ground and I went to go buy you another one?"
A smile appears on the little girl's lips and she hugs Claire. "Claire!" "That's who I am." Chris couldn't stand to just sit there and not say anything so he told Jill. "That's your little sister?" She nods her head and says, "Yeah…" "She's adorable." Jill smiles a little but then it fades away.
Chris turns to the little girl and said, "Hi I'm Chris. What is your name?" "My name is Eloise." "That's a beautiful name Eloise." "Thank you Mr. Chris. Jill! I like this guy! Can we hang out with him?" "Oh no Eloise. We have to get going. Mom wants you home now."
"Okay. Can you buy me cookies then?" "Eloise no. You had enough cookies." "But I want cookies!" "No." Eloise starts to scream and cry in Claire's arms. Claire tried her best to hold Eloise as tight as she could. "Oh God!"
Claire gave Jill Eloise and Eloise starts to kick and scream louder. Everyone in the diner looked to see where the screaming came from.
"She sure if a handful…" Chris told Jill. "Yeah…you have no idea." Jill put her down and Eloise started to run away. "Eloise!" Jill ran after her. "You stay right here Chris. I'll go and help Jill." "I'll help too!"
Chris and Claire ran out of the store and Jill sighs. "I-I don't know where she's at. Great, just what I needed. My mom is so going to kill me."
Chris laughs and puts his hand on Jill's shoulder. "No she's not because we're going to find her." "How are you so sure Chris?" "Easy…do you know Eloise favorite place?" "The playground." "Alright then…let's go check if she's heading there."
Claire, Jill and Chris head to the car and he drove over to Raccoon City's playground. "Wow. It's crowded." Claire said. "I think I'll chill in the car." "Alright. Come on Jill." She nods her head and they both got out of the car. "You see her?" Chris asks.
"Nope." Jill stops and looks at different little kids. "Eloise! She's going to the woods!" Eloise notices that Jill was running towards her so she ran fast to the woods. "Does she always do this?" "Yes! A lot!"
Chris and Jill were about to head inside the woods but a man step in front of them and told them, "Hey sorry. You're not allowed in there. It's under construction." "Yeah I already know that but-" The man cuts Jill off and told her, "Sorry. You can't come in here. Now, you two turn around and get the hell out of the playground!"
"Alright…fine."
Chris couldn't stand the way how the man was talking to the both of them. Especially how not listening to what Jill has to say. "Hey! Look!" He started. "Her little sister ran inside of the woods without you noticing. So can you please move so we can go in there and get her? It will only take a few minutes sir."
Chris wanted so badly to curse the man out but he wanted to keep his class and his cool. "Sorry. Not happening.
Chris turns to face Jill and Jill was sad. "Look. We're going to get Eloise. Right now I want you to head back inside of the car and stay there while I go get Eloise." "But why-?" Chris quickly cuts her off by telling her to hush. "Look. Just do what I say okay?"
Without saying another word, Jill nods her head and head out of the park. He turns back to the man in front of him. "Move over." "No." "Would you like to head inside of the woods with me to look for the little girl?" "No! It would be a waste of time."
"Waste of time? Talking to you right now is a waste of time. Right now her little sister can be hurt? Or lost? And it will be your entire fault! So I suggest you move the fuck over so I can get her."
"I'm not afraid of you." "Really? You're not? I think you should because…" Chris whispered something into the man's ear and the man became afraid. "Alright man! Take it easy! Go ahead!" "Thank you." Chris head inside of the woods and started to shout out Eloise name.
"Eloise! It's Chris! I know you're piss off at your sister Jill for not buying you any more cookies but um. I promise I will buy you cookies without Jill knowing."
"Chris?" Eloise shouted back. He looks around his surroundings and shouted back, "Yeah?" "Come get me! I'm stuck! And I'm scared!" "Where are you Eloise?!" "I don't know!" "I'm coming! Just keep talking!" Chris follows her voice and Eloise's leg was stuck inside a crack on the ground.
"Oh shit." He said walking towards her. Eloise looks up at him. "Oh…sorry. Excuse my language." Eloise wipes her tears from off her cheek and says, "Chris? Am I going to be okay?" "Of course you are. When I was your age in fact. I use to go hiking with my dad every weekend in the woods and get my leg stuck in a crack on the ground. Wanna' know a trick?"
Eloise nods her head. "Promise you won't tell anyone?" She nods her head once more. "Okay. This is what you do when your foot is stuck. You move your foot to the side and move your leg up and boom your out."
Eloise seen her right foot again and she smiles at Chris. "Thank you Mr. Chris!" She hugs him tightly and he hugs her back smiling. "No problem. Come on; take my hand so I can take you to go get some cookies."
She took Chris's hand and they both began to walk out of the woods. "I told your ass a little girl was in the woods. Next time, I suggest you listen." He whispered to the man. "So Eloise, what is your favorite type of cookie?" "I like soft cookies." "You mean the chewable ones right?" She nods. "Wow. Those are my favorites too." "I also like oatmeal cookies." "Same here. You know, you're sister Jill once told me-" Before he can finish up his sentence, he catches himself saying something that wasn't right.
*Flashback*
"So what cookies do you want Jill?"
Chris and Jill were inside a Supermarket deciding on which cookies should they buy.
"Hurry up Jill! I don't have all day." "Shut up. You do when I'm with you." "Oh yeah…you're right. Take your time Jill bean. You can take up as much time as you like. You can even take up three years!"
"Shut up Chris!" "Alright let me help you. Do you want butter crunch cookies?" "Ugh yes! Those are my favorite!" "So then why didn't you pick them up when I told you to choose one of the cookies?" "Because, I wanted to spend more time with you before we don't see each other again…"
*Flashback ends*
"Chris?" "Oh right yes?" "What were you saying about my sister?" "N-nothing."
"Oh my God! Eloise!" Jill got out of the car and rush towards Eloise. She hugged her tightly and told her, "Don't you ever pull that stunt on me again!" "Then I suggest you next time by me cookies!" "How old is she?" Chris asks chuckling.
"Oh she's only five years old." "And she talks like that?" "I know right?" "Well, it's getting late." Claire told the two of them. "Jill, Eloise get in the car so Chris can drop you guys home and then Chris you and I head home."
"Oh not it's okay. Eloise and I can walk home. Our house is not too far from here." "Claire. You know how to drive right?" "Uh yeah why?" Chris threw Claire the car keys and she catches it. "Why are you? Oh never mind. See you at home!"
Claire drove away quickly and Eloise took Chris hand again. "Sorry Jill but I want to hold Chris hand because he's buying me cookies!" She stuck her tongue out at Jill and Jill laughs. "Alright then."
"Chris. Thank you so much for finding Eloise. Actually, if it wasn't for you…you know the idea of going to the park…I wouldn't have found her without you." "Oh no it's fine. Today has been one heck of a day! I mean, I woke up from my coma earlier this morning, had to spend time with family, then head out to the diner, and here I am walking home a beautiful girl and her little sister."
Jill blushes but looks down so Chris doesn't notice. Chris notice her blush but he didn't want to say anything about it to make her blush more or make her feel uncomfortable. "Thank you for the compliment. You're handsome yourself." "Thanks."
Eloise lets go of Chris's hand and begins to skip down the street. "I'm gonna' get some cookies!" she sang over and over again.
"Did you tell Eloise that she's going to get cookies?" "Would it hurt for her to eat only a few more?" Jill giggles, "I suppose not."
I love this chapter! XD Aren't Jill and Chris the cutest things? So what do you guys think Jill secret is? Although I know there really wasn't any sign of hints. Or was there? *Wink*
