Chapter 9

"Skylar why don't you sit down?" Principle Powers asked. I sat down.

"Is everything okay? I'm not in trouble right?" I asked.

"No no. You're not in trouble. I just wanted to speak to you to see if everything is okay," she said.

"Yeah I'm fine. Everything is back to normal," I replied.

"How did you survive the bullet?" she asked.

"To be honest I don't know," I replied honestly.

"Since you have a bus to catch it time you went but if there is anything you want to talk about then don't hesitate to talk to me okay?" Asked Principle Powers.

"Okay, Bye Miss," I said.

"Bye Skylar," She replied as I left the room. Wow Warren did wait nice guy.

"What happened?" Warren asked.

"She just asked about lunchtime," I answered, " Let's go or else we'll miss the bus,"

Warren nodded and picked up my bag.

"Give me my bag," I told Warren.

"No, I think suits my outfit," He retorted.

"Ha ha really funny my bag," I told him.

"No," he replied. We argued like this on the bus. I was getting fed up so I gave Warren a hug. I grabbed my bag. I didn't expect Warren to hug me back.

"Thanks for the bag War," I whispered in his ear. He looked confused. It was kinda cute. Wait did I just think that? Ew.

"The art of misleading!" I smiled. He laughed.

"Okay you win this one but I'll be back," He said copying Arnold Schwarzenegger which made us laugh even harder. The bus pulled up to my stop.

"I have to go now this is my stop," I told him. He got up and made his way to the door. I picked up my bag and got off the bus. Warren off the bus behind me.

"What are you a stalker?" I asked. Warren laughed at me.

"Wow I didn't know my company made you feel that bored!" he joked.

"Ha ha," I said sarcastically. I walked up to the front door and turned the lock. I smelt rice. Burnt rice.

"Mum? Are you cooking again?" I yelled.

"Warren come in," I told him as I took his hand and pulled him inside. I ran into the kitchen. Mum was on the floor shivering. I took my hoodie off and put on my mum's shoulders.

"Warren could you boil some water?" I asked him.

"What's wrong with her?" He asked.

"She's in shock. My mum sees things. You know... visions. When she sees something really vivid she goes into shock," I explained. Warren poured the hot water into a cup and mixed it with cold water. I grabbed a clean cloth and started dabbing warm water on her forehead.

"Mum can you hear me?" I asked her.

"Skye?" She asked me. She sounded weak. Heck she looked weak.

"Mum you need to rest," I told her.

"Call Henry," she told me. I picked up the phone from the table and dialed dad's number while Warren carried Mum and placed her on the couch.

"Dad?" I asked.

"Hi hon everything alright?" Dad asked.

"Mum's in shock. It's worse than last time much worse," I told him. I was starting to panic. She never looked this sick.

"I'm coming," Dad said. Then he hung up on me. I walked into the living room. Mum had fallen asleep but he fingers were turning blue. Dad appeared in the room.

"Skye I'll take it from here. Why don't you spend the night at your friends place or something?" Dad asked. Wow he hasn't noticed Warren yet.

"Who's this?" Dad asked. Crap.

"That's Warren. He's a friend from school," I answered. I kept glancing at Mum though hoping she would wake up.

"Go get your stuff Skye. Give me a call when you get to your friend's place," he said. And it better not be Walter's place he thought as I ran upstairs.

"Dad his name is Warren," I called from my room.

"Stop reading my mind," He shouted back. I grabbed Lucy's rucksack. Oops must have accidentally packed her's instead of mine. Oh well. I threw in a black tank top and my cousin's blue and red shorts. Man I really need to buy myself my own clothes, half the stuff in my wardrobe isn't mine. Timi is going to kill me for stealing shorts. I went into my bathroom a got my toiletries. Then I packed clothes for tomorrow and made my way down the stairs.

"You're not he boyfriend are you?" My dad was interrogating Warren.

"Dad stop interrogating the poor lad and take care of mum okay?" I told dad off.

"Will you be okay? Are you sure you don't need help?" I asked.

"I'll be fine. You be careful and no taking bullets to the brain okay?" Dad warned me. I laughed as he walked me and Warren to the door.

"Okay say hi to mum for me when she wakes up," I said then we walk out the door.

"Where to next?" I asked.

"My house," he replied as he put an arm around my shoulders. We walked down a couple of streets and we arrived at Warren's house.

"Mum's been cooking," Warren said as he opened the door.

"Oh hi Warren Layla called are you going to her place or st-" Warren's mum was interrupted by Warren coughing.

"Mum this Skye, Skye this is my mum," Warren introduced us.

"Hi," I said.

"Hello dear, call me Karen," Karen said, "well I have just about finished cooking why don't you join us for lunch?"

"Um mum I don't think you-"said Warren.

"Why not?" I replied. Karen and I stared him down. It was pretty funny actually. Warren grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the dining table. He pulled out my chair and let me sit down. What a gentleman. Wait did I just think that? Ew. Karen walked in with pasta. It looked amazing. It tasted like heaven.

"So how long have you and Warren been dating?" Karen asked. Me and Warren choked on pasta. Karen gave us an innocent smile.

"We're just friends," We said at the same time. That didn't convince her. God must really love me because the phone rang in the other room. Karen got up to answer it. I helped Warren clear the table. He loaded the plates in the dish washer while I wiped the table clean.

"I'll be back in a second I need to get my stuff," Warren said. I sat down on the couch.

"Oh hey Skye, I have to go to the hospital," Karen told me. Hospital?

"Is everything okay?" I asked.

"Yeah. I'm a nurse," she replied. I feel stupid.

"Oh, that explains a lot, Have fun," I said.

"You too," she said as she gave me a hug, then she whispered, "let me know if Warren misbehaves."

Then she winked at me before leaving.

"Sorry about that I barely ever bring people home," he said. He was right next to my ear. Why does this boy keep scaring me?

"God Warren twice in one day? Why do you keep scaring me?" I complained.

"Not my fault you're deaf in one ear," he replied as he pulled me up from the couch.

"Let's go," Warren said.
