IM5's Pint Sized Tutor
What Just Happened
(Chapter 1)
"Hey Gabby!" I said walking out of my room and over to her by the front door.
"Hi May! How are you?" Gabby replied happily.
"Good. How was work?" I asked.
"Work was good but I got a call from a client today saying that they need me for another travel tour."
"That band again? How long will you be gone?"
"Yeah IM5. Three months."
"When do you leave?"
"Monday."
"What?! That's a week away!"
"I know but they need me plus it's not like you can't handle yourself."
"I know but three months. What if I come with you?"
"I know it's a long time. And you know what I said about you coming on trips with me?"
"Yeah yeah yeah I know. Trips are good. We get some alone time with ourselves and we relax."
"Exactly. Now If you'll excuse me, I need to take a shower."
Gabby walked over to the bathroom door in our apartment and walked inside. I strolled over to the television and turned it on. I could not find anything to watch so I put one some random movie channel and went to get food. I grabbed Nutella and some pretzels and plopped my butt on the couch. Batman came on in Spanish but I quickly found the English version on the sister channel. Even though I am a Spider-man girl to the end, batman's a pretty close second.
Gabby came out of our apartment's bathroom with her wet hair in a braid and sat down next to me on the couch.
"I just thought of this. It's November 3rd and you said that you'd be leaving next week for three months, I said.
"Yes?"
"Well that would mean that you would miss my birthday, Christmas and New Years."
"Yes but it won't be the first time and probably won't be the last."
"True but it's still disappointing."
"I'm sorry but it will be ok. How about this. When I come home we will celebrate all the things we missed."
"Ok yeah. We'll do that. I'm going to my room."
"See you later, honey."
I ran to my room and closed the door. My room has two dark blue walls, two light blue walls with white trim. I have my bed with a snowflake bedspread, a white dresser in the corner and a vanity along the opposite wall. I walk over to my iPod and play my Disney songs. They always make me feel better when I'm sad. I lay down on my bed and think to my self.
Why is it that every time I try to go on a trip with Gabby, she always shuts down my idea? Plus she doesn't even give me a good reason.
'Kiss the Girl' from 'The Little Mermaid' came on, MY FAVORITE! I jump off my bed and run into the middle of the room and start to sing and dance along.
'There you see her, sittin' there across the way -'
There was a knock at the door, "PLEASE TURN IT DOWN!" Gabby yelled over the music.
"Ok ok," I turn down the music and ask, "Hey Gabby, can I go to the studio now?"
There is a dance studio around the corner. I have been going to that studio for about 10 years now so the women at the counter knows me and let's me use the studio when ever i feel like it.
"Yeah but take your phone."
"I will! Thank you!"
I quickly change into my dancing gear. I grab my iPod, iPhone, headphones and my gym bag. I run out my bedroom door to the front door and yell bye to Gabby.
When I arrive at the studio, Maggy, the women at the desk greets me with her award winning is one the phone right now so I keep waking past her to avoid a conversation. I really want to dance right now.
"Hi May! Here to shed some energy!"
Dang it
"Hey Maggy! Oh yeah!"
The phone rings and Maggy quick says bye and answers the phone. Thank God.
I scurry over to the empty room that I usually use. No ones in there as usual so I'm happy. I put my head phones in and start to sing along to the Disney songs, that I know and love. When 'Can You Feel the Love Tonight' came on I started I slow dance as if I had a partner when I heard a door swing open and Gabby run in crying.
"Oh My God Gabby! What happened?!" I yell as I pull my headphones out and run over to her. She collapses into my arms sobbing.
"Gabby, Gabby, it ok. Calm down. What happened?"
"Gram just had a heart attack," she chocked out just barely audible.
"Wh-what?"
"She- she was shopping and she just collapsed. Some store clerk was in the isle and used CPR and saved her."
I never really met Gabby's mom. I only talked to her once, when I was adopted. I was scared and nervous so I didn't say anything.
"Wow. Um ok. It'll be ok. I'm here. Let it out. It's ok. I'm here." I try to comfort her as much as I can.
What just happened?!
