I don't own To Kill a Mockingbird
Boo's POV
I was holding Sandra while she was crying. "Sandra,don't cry,this wedding doesn't need you crying."I said. She looked up at me and said "I just want to get married to you."I smiled and wrapped her tighter with the blanket.
"So,how are we gonna get married."I said."I don't know,me in a dress you in whatever."She said laying her head on my chest. I was playing with her hair. Nathan came in and said "Casandra."Sandra looked up and said "Nathan."
I was tempted to say "Arthur." but didn't. They didn't exactly see eye to eye on when I first met Sandra,Nathan wouldn't let her in the home. She told me that she had a plan to see me and to sit by my window when Nathan was asleep.I did as she told and I helped her up through my window.
We talked about books and told me she was a writer and she'd read me her works.I had trouble figuring out her mysteries. Sandra was a woman I wanted to see more of but Nathan wouldn't allow 'd sneak into my room many days of the week and we'd sit there and she'd write about anything that came to here.
Another reason they didn't like each other was I was sick,Sandra want to cheer me up as Arthur let her in. She was making coffee and winked at me. Sandra had told me she was going to put salt in his coffee as sugar. I told her that Arthur liked his coffee really took a sip and spit it out.
Nathan wasn't going to help Sandra crying so I said. "Nathan can you go get some medicine." He nodded and said "I think we have some here." I didn't think this was going to work. "Nathan can you get me some pens."Sandra said in a voice that sounded like she was still crying. Nathan nods and went back out.
As soon as Nathan was gone,Sandra smiled and leaned back into me. I could tell she was tired but didn't want to sleep. "Don't worry,we'll find someone."I said playing with her hair. She nods and stops crying."After we get married Nathan said he was moving out."Sandra said.
"Good I can now go outside."I said. She smiled and said "Yes and after we get married you have to clear the front yard." I frowned a little and said "Why?" She smiled and said "So I can have a garden." I smiled slightly and laughed. She had told me every day to clear out the front to make a spot for her garden.
The Cunningham's were people I found quite admirable using what they have. It was a refreshing way of was a writer but she still had her green thumb which she swears is from her mother. "Atticus might pull through for us."I said. "He can't legally do that well I don't think."Sandra said.
I smiled and said "Let's not think about this we have a week." To get our minds off of it I asked her to read her latest story to me. Story time was what she called it. I sat on the couch legs crossed as she began to read from a leather book with the title The Raven and Fox. If one was to look in through the closed shutters they'd see me sitting like a five year old and hear someone reading to me.
She closed the book and looked at me. I smiled to her and "You're a good writer." Sandra nods and said "I'd love to read that to children." My face got red and I tried to hide it. "Sorry,just saying."She said ruffling my light brittle hair on the top of my head. My face lightened back to it's pale shade.
I coughed to fill the silence and that was a mistake. Sandra felt my head and said "Honey, you are hot go upstairs and take a nap again, I'll bring you some medicine and a glass of water." I shook my head and said "I'm fine." Sandra looked at me using the force of her eyes and said "I think you should go to sleep." I crossed my arms and said "I'm not."
She softened her face and said batting her eyes "I think you should." I closed my eyes very childishly and sat back down on the couch. "I'm done with the face."Sandra said sitting beside me. Nathan came back home with some pens and paper assuming she'd need some. "Thank you."She said taking the pens and paper up to her room.
She'd been staying with us since the first day she tried to sneak in cause she'd been around for ever.
