Author's Note:
Sorry that it has been awhile since I last updated. I just finished taking exams and I didn't have much time to write. So thanks for everyone that has been patiently waiting and I hope to be updating more frequently, but I'm not making any promises.
Mikayla POV:
"Mikayla!... Mikayla! Wake Up."
My eyes flutter open and I see the kings hovering over my bed. I look at the clock to my left and see that it is 11:00am. Woah! Did I really sleep that long? I guess I was up later last night then I thought. I turn my attention back to the kings.
"Mikayla, you forgot to wake us up for breakfast and because of you we didn't get down in time to eat the cinnamon rolls before Sasquatch Mason ate them all!" Boomer yelled at me
"I'm sorry my kings, but you can always order the kitchen staff to make you more." I responded
"Oh ya you're right." Boomer said. I rolled my eyes at him.
"Why did you sleep so late anyways?" Boz asked me
"Oh you know, I was just up late…umm… doing stuff."
"What kind of stuff?"
"Nothing." I stuttered back. Boz gave me a suspicious look.
"Boz, who cares what she was doing, I'm hungry lets go eat." Boomer said
"Fine." Boz responded while he and Boomer left my room.
That was a close one, thank goodness for Boomer and his short attention span.
"Hey, Mikayla." A voice says
I jump in fear looking around for where that voice came from.
"Who said that?" I respond back to the voice
"Over here."
I look over to the sound of the voice and see the book lying on the floor under the window.
"Oh it's just you; I forgot that you could talk."
"Ya well are you ready to use another page of me to see Brady?" the book said with excitement in its voice.
"I was going to go get something to eat, but I can wait, anyways I'm not going to even try arguing with you this time."
"Good choice." Said the book
I get out of my bed and notice that I am still in my clothes from yesterday. Wow I feel like a bum. I walk over to the book and pick it up off the ground. I walk back over to my bed, sit down and open the book to the next empty page. I focus all of my thoughts on Brady and then place my hand in the outline of the left page. Suddenly an image appears of Brady on the right page.
He is sitting at a desk with papers and textbooks spread all around him. He is looking at one of the textbooks while writing something on a piece of paper. Is he actually studying? I can't believe it, maybe he has changed. I continue to watch as he keeps scribbling things down onto his paper. He leans closer to the textbook and starts to squint his eyes like he is having trouble reading something on the page.
He reaches over and grabs something off of the desk. I cannot see what it is because it is out of the picture. He brings the object closer to himself and I notice that it is a pair of glasses. He slides them onto his face and continues working. He is even wearing glasses and he can actually really pull them off. He looks so smart and dare I say mature.
"I agree with you he does look good in those glasses." The book randomly blurts out
I jumped in surprise for the second time that day.
"You have to stop doing that I keep forgetting that you're here." I say
"Oh so you just forget about me, I mean nothing to you, I'm just a useless dusty old book to you." The book said obviously faking sadness
"No, that's not what I meant and you know it,"
"I know I'm just messing with you."
I roll my eyes and continue to stare at Brady while he concentrates on his work and I begin to think of more positive things that have seemed to change about him.
Suddenly he looks up from his work and turns his head towards the door. "Someone must have knocked" I think to myself.
He gets up from his chair and starts to walk towards the door. He looks through the peep hole and then smiles. He reaches his hand for the door knob and begins to open the door. Right before the person behind the door is revealed the screen goes blank.
Am I a mean person for ending the chapter this way? Don't answer I already know what you're going to say. Anyways I thought this would be a good place to stop, that's why this chapter may be a little shorter than the others. But don't worry your life will go on even if you may have to wait a little while to see what happens.
