Chapter 10 – Ally Danvers
I can feel something holding me tight as I start to wake up. It takes a few seconds for my brain to remember the end of the previous night. I can only assume that I fell asleep, from the tight grip Kara has on me it is clear that she never let me go. Her hug has meant that I slept without any nightmares, which is not very common at the moment. I don't want to think about my nightmares, I know Alex and Kara both think I should talk about them but just the thought of them makes me shiver in dread so instead I try to wiggle out of Kara's gentle but firm grip, she really is strong, especially considering I have never seen her do any sort of exercise. My wiggling causes Kara to stir from her sleep, a glance at the alarm clock on her bedside table tells me its 10am, so I don't feel bad for waking her up. "Good Morning Kara, I say hugging her tight as she wakes up. I think we should get up, Alex will need help moving everything today!" Kara smiles at me, before gently pushing me off of her. "Morning, how did you sleep?" She asks, trying to hide the concern I know she has, "I slept really well, you were a good pillow!" She laughs but says her voice is serious as she says "I'm glad, you can use me as a pillow anytime sis!"
We arrive at Alex's apartment quickly; we had grabbed breakfast for all of us on the way over. I had convinced Kara to get Mc Donald's, she said that I had to tell Maggie, I didn't see what the problem with that was Mc Donald's is yum! I walk in front proudly with the bag of Mc Donalds, as I arrive on the floor of Alex's apartment I can hear Alex loudly "What the hell, man this thing is heavy, man where is Kara when you need her?" I look back at Kara, "I think Alex wants your help! Though I'm not sure how much more of a help you could be, maybe we should hire some people to help us move, I mean some of her stuff must be pretty heavy!"
As I get closer to Alex's apartment I call out, "the reinforcements are here and we come with a delicious and nutritious breakfast!" I see Maggie's face appear in the doorway first, I hold the bag up for her to see, "look we brought food!" Her eyes go flat and she shakes her head, "That is a far from a nutritious meal as you can get, I hope you at least got me hotcakes, as who knows what is in the meat"
"Hey" I cut Maggie off before she can continue "You can't call Mc Donald's it is awesome and so what if it isn't the most nutritious it is yummy and great when you're in a rush!"
Alex stops the conversation by grabbing the bag and asking, "what did you get?"
"Well Kara ordered, so I think just about one of everything, but two hash browns are mine! I don't care about anything else!"
Maggie sits down on the floor with her legs crossed, there is no furniture left in the apartment, "Did you even sleep?" I turn to ask her, she smiles and then falls back onto her back, "I think we had a few hours but your sister has been working me like a slave driver! She owes me big time." I nod in agreement, "I think that is fair, you should get to chose to go somewhere that you like for the day or something!" Maggie smiles at my suggestion, "I think that would be perfect, now to only think of something that Alex would hate and I would love!" I smile smugly, "Come on Maggie that is easy, and take her to somewhere they serve the strange food you like, that would be almost as bad if not worse than torture for Alex!"
"Ally Danvers, I like the way you think, now give me a hand to sit up!"
I reach to help her; in pulling Maggie up I end up falling to the floor, "Hey that wasn't fair!"
She just shrugs her shoulders, reaching into the bag whilst saying, "You had to sit down anyway." I groan, as she is right and there's not much I can say to that.
Kara and Alex come to join us on the floor and we finally can start eating, I had already had my puffer at Kara's so I didn't need to worry about that and my asthma seemed to be better today. Kara made sure that I got my favourite from the breakfast menu, two hot cakes and two hash browns all covered in maple syrup! YUM! I was absorbed in my food as they talked about the plans for the rest of the day. Alex probably wouldn't want me doing much again today just in case.
My prediction had been right, my job for the day was pressing the elevator button and opening the apartment or car doors. Despite telling Alex that I could help with something a bit more demanding she insisted that they could not carry and press buttons. Sometimes my sister is a little bit annoying. Despite my protests that they needed my help they somehow managed to pack everything into Kara's, Alex's, Maggie's cars and also fill the trailer that Alex had borrowed from someone at her work. Finally we were up to the fun part, moving in to the new apartment. Alex had already gone to pick the keys up early this morning so we were officially ready to move in!
