Chapter Nine

Sleep

Chris and Patricia took Melinda back into Leo's office.

"Why am I here?" Melinda asked

"We have some things to discuss." Leo said gesturing to the chair for her to take a seat. He glared over at Patricia and Chris and motioned for them to leave which they did.

"So what exactly do we have to discuss." Melinda asked

"Well before you ran away we were in the middle of discussing what we are going to do know." Leo told her "I was talking to Billie and we both think it would be a good idea if you stayed her instead of at her house. We think it will be safer. You will start school here in two months at the start of the new school year as a Jr. Over the summer you may room with Patricia who's roommate wont be here. As soon as the school year starts we will find you another place to stay. Sound good?"

"Ya." Melinda said. Leo was surprised that she was ok with all this but was pleased non the less. "So what now?"

"Well classes go on for one more day so tonight I suppose you could sleep in Chris' room if you don't mind. He has a spare bed. Tomorrow you can move in with Patricia and over the summer you can start to make up all the work you missed."

"Does that include magic work?" Melinda asked even though she knew the answer.

"Yes."

"Great" She said through a fake smile. "Can I go know?"

Leo nodded and Melinda rushed out the door.

That night Melinda slept in Chris' room. She kept looking over at the clock, 12:00, 1:00, 2:00. Time seemed to go by so slow.

"What are you still doing up?" Chris asked noticing his little sister hadn't so much as put her head to the pillow.

"I'm not tired" She lied

"You look exhausted I think you should get some sleep"

"I can't" She told him

"Why not?"

She didn't answer him

"Why don't you try to lie down? Maybe that will help"

Melinda did as he told but she knew it would be no good. Chris knew she wasn't falling asleep but he decided to pretend like he didn't know and stop bugging her about it for now. Chris could sense that something was 100 right here but he decided to leave that for tomorrow or later on in the day considering it was already 2 in the morning.
