I sat up in bed. Today was the last day of this stupid bed rest. I've been feeling fine for the past week, but every time I even try to go do something Seth would come running up and force me back into the bed. He's been over here tons since I fainted in practice.
I'm surprised Papa is okay with it. He's always complaining about him being over here. I personally don't get what the big deal is. Seth has been by my side since I can remember. He picked me up from my first day of school, let me cry on his shoulder when ever some jerk would break my heart. He would go to the store and buy me pads when I would be too embarrassed to do it myself. Seth was like my big ball of sunshine. He was always so happy and had the best outlook on life. Like just yesterday I was complaining about bed rest and he told me
"Well now you don't have to do any chores!"
I grinned but then scowled again" But I can't do cheer. I was so close to perfecting my round off back-hand spring"
"I don't understand why you even like cheer."
I threw a pillow at him "When I cheer, it's like I'm the only person there. For once it's all about me. The crowd is screaming for me. I'm not hidden behind anyone's shadow. The adrenaline is the most amazing feeling in the world. And when I'm flying, it's like nothing can touch me."
Before he could respond Jackson came running into the room with red marker all over his face and tongue. He was crying.
"What's wrong buddy? What happened to your face?" I asked him while he hoisted himself onto my bed.
"I… ate… one… of… the… markers... And mama yelled at me!" He said in between his sobs.
"Why would you ever eat a marker?"
"It was pretty!"
I tried to hold back my laugh. I was just about to go and take him into the bathroom to go clean him off when Seth took him from me and shook his head
"Oh no you don't. You're still on bed rest." I glared at him and wriggled under the covers again. I closed my eyes as Seth tip toed out of the room and whispered "Sweet dreams Callie bear."
It's short, I know. But it's the 2nd one within like 2 hours. And I wanted to elaborate on Seth and Callie's relationship before I dive into the big main plot. Hopefully, I'll have another chapter up by the end of the week!
