Sarah-Jane's POV
When Sky came home she seemed like she was in a really good mood.
Which was good because we were decorating the house with Halloween things then I decided to tell her that I'd made a decision.
"So Sky, Rani told me that you want to go trick or treating with your friends."
She nodded.
"If you really want to go with them, I won't stop you." I Said.
"Thank you!" She responded.
"And you can invite your friends to the Halloween party as well." I Said.
She threw her arms around me. She looked so happy.
"I'm so excited!" She Said.
I was still worried about her going trick or treating but she's basically 13. Technically she's 1 but I'm not going to treat her like she's 1.
After we'd finished putting up the decorations, Sky went to do some homework whilst I ordered pizza. It was late and I didn't want to set fire to the kitchen.
Sky's POV
After I'd done some homework, I messaged all my friends to tell them about the party.
Darcey responded with "cool"
Tilly responded with "can't wait!"
Hannah responded with "sounds good"
Katie responded with "ok then?"
And Alice responded with "I'm so excited and we're going to have so much fun!"
After a bit I heard the door knock then I heard Mum talking to who I think was the pizza delivery person.
She called me down and then we sat at the kitchen table.
"Only tomorrow, then no school for a week." Mum Said. (I think she wanted to break the awkward silence.)
I smiled at that. A couple minutes after food, Mum went up to the attic. I heard her talking. Probably to Luke.
I didn't really know him that much. I'd never met him. Mum, Clyde and Rani tell me lots of things about him. He seems nice.
I'd never spoken to Luke. I always had the chance but I was worried about what I'd say to him. Each time I'd not want to speak to him, it would upset Mum.
Was that bad? Should I speak to him?
I decided to go up and just say hello. I mean, he's my brother for God's sake!
I walked into the attic. Mum hadn't noticed I walked in.
What if Luke won't like me? What then?
I walked closer to the computer. I don't think Luke noticed me.
Maybe he'd be really mean to me. Maybe he'd be really kind to me. I've got to speak to him eventually.
"Hi Luke." I Said.
Mum turned and smiled.
"Hi Sky." He Said.
I didn't know what to say next.
"So, erm, Halloween is coming up. Any plans?" He asked.
"Yeah, going trick or treating and then Mum is throwing a party."
"Sounds good. Here at uni, we're also having a party." He responded.
"What's uni like?" I Asked.
"It's great but I miss Mum and I would love to meet you." He Said.
"I want to meet you too." I Said.
"We will, soon." He Said.
"Well, time is getting on and Sky needs her sleep. Only one more day then she gets the week off." Mum interrupted.
"That's ok, I've got to go anyway."
"Love you!" Said Mum.
"Love you too." Said Luke.
He left. I saw tears in Mum's eyes. Her makeup was dripping down her face.
I handed her some tissues, then I hugged her. She needed it.
"Are you ok Mum?" I Asked.
"I'm fine, just miss him, that's all."
I left her alone. I went to get ready for bed. When I got into bed, I glanced at the clock. 10:23. It was late.
Mum came in and I by the look of her face, she'd only just stopped crying.
"Goodnight Sky." She Said.
"Goodnight Mum." I Said.
She gave me a kiss then hugged me.
I went to sleep. And no bad dreams this time.
