Okay, I'm sorry yesterday's chapter was so short, but I really needed to sleep. So here we go!
By the time we got home, the somber mood had lifted. We went in the house, where Adam made nachos. And they were actually pretty good! After dinner, we watched my favorite animated movie ever: Wreck It Ralph. A call came in on my Skype. It was from BirchTree96.
Amber.
"Hi, Piper." She said shyly as I accepted the call. "Hey, Amber. What are you doing?" I replied, Looking at the room behind her round face. It was mint green with tons of manga drawings everywhere. They were beautiful. "Nothing. That's why I called you." She replied back. "Well, at least you're honest. Listen, I gotta go. We have school tomorrow, remember?" I said, noticing the clock. it was almost midnight. "Okay. Well I'll see you tomorrow." She said, disconnecting. I changed into blue pajamas with fluffy white clouds on them and got under the blanket. Adam probably was already asleep. I turned the light off and stared out the window at the stars. I love stars. They're so beautiful, it seems like you go into a trance. I had gotten a crystal clear night. I fell asleep after about an hour. I had been making up stories for the stars. Mom had once told me a story about stars being people who went to heaven, and that they watched over their loved ones during the darkness of night. I had always loved that story. So now I was making up stories about the people the stars had once been. That one was Silver the Great, who slayed a tiger with one blow. That one was Asizz the Wise, who everyone went to for advice, be it love, battle, even the king went to him.
In the morning, I was sick. I had a fever and I was vomiting. Adam called me in sick and made sure I had everything I needed. I felt as useless as spaghetti that's been left in the fridge for a week. I could barely sit up. Adam brought me some toast and orange juice, and helped me get to the couch so I could watch TV while I was confined. He even told his friends he couldn't record today! I felt kind of guilty. "But you love making videos more than anything in the world. I don't want to ruin that for you." I had said. "I love you more than anything in the world, sis. As much as I like making videos, it can wait." He replied with a smile. He had a really sweet smile. I smiled back. I had never been so happy before. My life in Connecticut hadn't been bad. My mom didn't abuse me, I had friends, but I was with my kin here. "Just rest, Piper. You'll be fine in a couple days." Adam said, draping a blanket over me. I smiled. God I was tired. Why is it that when you're sick you get tired, anyways? I watched Adam sit down in an armchair with his laptop so he could watch me as my eyes drooped closed.
I'm gonna be doing another chapter today if I can find the time. Thanks so much for all the positive feedback! I never thought this story would get so popular, I really didn't. Have a great day Sparklers!
