The sun was inching up into the sky; it was now a half hour later since Abby left. I just stood there, staring at the empty fireplace. It looked like it hadn't been touched at all; Abby's parents had went upstairs shortly Abby left. The last words that came out of her mouth before leaving rang inside my head, "Goodbye everyone!"I wiped my eyes with my hand; right after Abby's parents left the room I had just fell to the floor and cried. I finialy remembered that I had to get home; my mom would start to worry.
I got to my front door, with my hand on the yin-yang necklace the whole time, and opened it slowly, making sure that I don't wake my mother; I didn't really care if I woke Joe.
I didn't even make it to my bedroom; I just crashed on the couch, and as always, I had a nightmare.
In my dream, I was on what seemed to be like a mountain, and it look like it was over looking what seemed like San Francisco. I looked to my right, and I saw a figure of a man, hunched over, looking like he was trying to hold up an imaginary box with his hands, like he was trying to hold up the sky or something.
The man was grunting and moaning, like whatever imaginary thing he was holding was very heavy. I looked to the other side, and I saw a massive, beautiful building, but it had a dark feeling to it, like the feeling when you walk into a room that you knew someone had died inside.
A deep, dark voice started to chuckle, I knew right away, it was the evil voice from my last dream. "Soon my darling hero, soon you will understand, just a few more months or so, and you will join me, if you do not, will feel the kind of suffering I will make everyone else feel, but worse."
I yelled some curses I didn't know wear I learned, but the voice just continued laughing. "Maybe I should give you a taste of how I will make everybody suffer," the voice chided.
Right after the voice said that, I felt a horrible pain go down my back, it felt like hot acid running down my spine, and then the pain soon swarmed my whole body. I tried to scream for help, but no sound came out of my mouth. I kept trying, but there was no one around except the voice and the man holding the imaginary object, who I highly doubted would help.
I woke with a start. I heard my mother in the kitchen humming a tune I guessed was "It's a small world". I was surprised to find Joe already at the table reading Sports illustrated. I managed to get up from my comfortable spot on the couch, and walked over to the kitchen table and took a seat.
"Good morning Hun," My mother said with a smile.
"Good morning," I answered, as she set a plate full of bacon and pancakes in front of me.
"Good morning runt," Joe said to me.
"Good morning drunk," I answered with a devilish grin on my face.
Joe scowled at me and turned to my mother, "Kate, aren't you going to tell your daughter to apologize?" Joe said.
My mother looked at me with a begging expression. "Okay I'm sorry Joe." I said. My mother's look became sterner. "Fine, I'm sorry, d-dad." I said, barley getting the words out, like they were hot sauce in my mouth.
My mother's face relaxed and continued to clean up from cooking. "So you have your first day of school tomorrow," My mother said.
"Yay," I said with sarcasm.
My mother laughed at my level of sarcasm; I haven't seen her laugh like this in forever, with her bright smile. "Well you will be able to enjoy today, because your friends Madison and Ina are coming over." My mother says.
I perked up and said, "Great, what time?"
"In a few minutes I believe," My mother said with a smile.
"Great, we have to watch over two more runts," Joe said with a sigh.
"No dear, were going out, into town for a nice evening." My mother said grinning. "So I would hope you would get changed."
"Fine," Joe said with a slight grumble.
After my parents had left the house, the doorbell rang and I greeted my friend Madison at the door.
"Hey!" Madison said with a large grin. You see, Madison is like me, Dyslexic and ADHD.
Madison's blond straight hair usually feels down to her shoulders, but now it was tied into a ponytail; she wore a tan jacket with skinny jeans and her favorite sneakers.
"Hey, where's Ina?" I asked.
"Oh she should be coming soon, her family just went on vacation and she just came back today, she should be here any minute," Madison said. Right after she said that, the doorbell rang and Ina was standing at the door. I open the door and invited her inside. Ina has Hair like Madison's, but brunette. Ina wore a gray hoodie and boot cut jeans and sneakers.
"Hey," Ina said. Ina walked into the room with her usual slight limp, she told us that she broke her leg when she was younger and now always has a limp.
"Hey Ina, how was the nice vacation?" I asked.
"It was nice, the beach was awesome, and the enchiladas, the best!" Ina replied.
"So what do you guys want to do?" I asked.
Madison grinned devilishly with her intense gray eyes, I wonder how she can create such a look on her face with those kinds of eyes, but as usual whenever she makes that look, I know she has a good prank or idea. She walked over to the fridge and pulled out whip cream, a bunch of Cheese dip, and sour cream. Then she walked over to my stereo and took out the disk with, "Part Rock Anthem" on it, and put it in the stereo, filling the room with music.
"Okay the plan is, we decide, to take a tour of your step dad's bathroom, and rearrange everything, and have some fun with his shaving cream, then we come back down here and party a little bit, and just chill." Madison said grinning.
I started smiling like a mad man, and said, "Madison, you're a genius!"
"Uh, guys I don't know about this," Ina said.
"Oh Ina, loosen up a little bit, have some fun," Madison said.
"What? I'm having plenty fun, I'm plenty loosen up," Ina said with her arms opened out. "Tell me what's not loose about this?" she said as she started jiggling her arms all around. We all started to laugh hysterically.
Madison put her arms around Ina and I. "Well, let this party begin!" Madison said laughing.
Madison turned on "Party Rock Anthem" and we all danced 'till we dropped, and we snacked on crackers, chips, even some enchiladas for Ina, and almost, I even started to forget about my sadness of Abby.
