"Kids!" Mrs. Gray said walking into the kitchen, "It's late, time to go to sleep! Mitchie I am sorry but you need to head home. The boys already left"

"Ah, its ok Mrs. G." Mitchie said getting up, she walked over to Shane and kissed him on the lips.

"Ewwwwww!" I said pointing at them and pretending to be five.

"ha ha ha" Shane said looking at me. Mitchie walked out of the room after saying her goodbyes. "Goodnight mom." He said hugging his mother; I felt a pang of sadness. I never had a mom that loved me.

"Goodnight Shane. Love you."

"Love ya too."

"Goodnight Sam."

"Goodnight Mrs. Gray." I said as I walked out of the room and up the stairs and into my room. I sat on the bed looking out of my window. It looked like it was about to rain. I ended up just falling asleep without even getting ready for bed.

I woke up and just listened to the rain outside, that's when I saw the flash of lightning and the boom of thunder. I hate thunder storms! I hid under my blankets when I heard my door open.

*flashback*

The rain was coming down hard there were bright flashes and loud banging. Also know as a thunder storm. I heard my door open, "Come on out sweetie." My mom cooed. I just hid in under my blankets. "Come on just get up!" she was getting annoyed. "Come ON! GET UP!" She grabbed my arm and pulled me out of my bed. And she slapped me.

*end flashback*

"Sam?"

"Don't! Just don't! Please." I begged.

"Sam. . .Are. . . are you okay?" I lifted the blanket off of me, it was Shane.

"Yeah, yeah I'm good. Why are you in here?" Shane sat down on my bed.

"Well, Mitchie is deathly afraid of thunder storms and I thought I should come check on you."

"Thanks." I said sitting up and I leaned against the headboard of the bed.

"Anything for my little sis."

"So I am now your little sis aren't I big bro." I said laughing.

"Yep I guess you are. It that cool with you?"

"Yep sure is Mr. I'm All That."

"Hmmm. . . lets see you need a nick name too. . . hmm. . . how about… SGLS."

"What?"

"SGLS. It means Shane Grays little sis."

"Or it could mean Sam Gray Looks Smart." I said laughing.

"Ok ok um. . . Sammy!!!!"

"That works." I said laughing more. We ended up falling asleep on my bed. Maybe this wouldn't be as bad as I thought.
