Hey everybody! I'm so sorry about the long wait. Somebody had to use my computer, and I didn't get it back till yesterday, and then I had about half the chapter down when it suddenly shut off and when I turned it back on, everything was gone, so I had to rewrite it. I hated the ending of the last episode, and I hate it even more that they decided to not continue with the show. I mean, what was going through their heads? "Hey, let's kill off three of the main characters, lead everybody on about how the shows going to continue, and then cancel it at the last moment! It'll be hilarious!" Yeah, hilarious my $$. Let's see how funny it is when people start boycotting ABC Family. Anyways, back to the story. I hope you enjoy the chapter! Please review.
Transitioning:
After finishing our breakfast, we left to go walk to the nearest park.
Green grass was sprouting little yellow and purple flowers, a water fountain was offering water to several small birds, the paved cement path was freshly cleaned of all the trash and gum that had been here the previous times we have been there. Despite the beauty of the park, I still felt really tired. Last night had drained both mine and Alek's energy. He was dragging his feet and I was yawning every few minutes.
Luckily, we passed by a small little ice-cream stand on the side of the path. I went over to the stand where a heavy, red-headed man was standing while everybody else went to sit on a bench to joke around.
"How can I help you?" The man asked.
"Do you sell coffee?"
"Sure do! What kind?" He offered me a list of all the different coffees he made. All iced, and all packed with caffeine.
"Two caramel macchiatos please."
He prepared the drinks and I picked up that Alek was falling asleep sitting up. 'Alek.'
I looked over and saw him jump, nobody noticed. He looked over at me after a moment. I could tell he was embarrassed with being caught falling asleep by his "master". 'yes?'
'Try to stay awake, at least for another hour. Then we can both go to our respectable homes and take a cat-nap.'
He nodded as I watched his eyes slowly shut again. I shook my head in and turned to pay the man. He reached over to hand me the drinks when his eyes fell across the mark on my palm.
"Wow, that's quite a tattoo you have there." He said. "Very detailed."
I blushed lightly. "Thank you. I had an excellent artist." He nodded and I took the drinks and walked over to the group.
After shaking Alek's shoulder to gently wake him up, he took a few sips and he became more alert, but I could still feel how dead tired he was.
"-and I just took the comic and put it in my make-up bag. But he's so used to being around Chloe and I, he opened it and pulled it out." Amy was telling one of her favorite stories.
I raised a finger to get everybody's attention. "I think it's time I took a nap, and I think Alek already fell asleep, so I think I'm going to head home."
They all nodded except for Alek who was asleep next to me with his head hanging limply behind the back of the bench.
Jasmine was taking Alek home while Amy and Paul were going to walk with me to my house. They were going to stay and watch a movie while I slept.
As I was walking, I felt a sort of tug in my stomach, but it wasn't horrible, so I just ignored it. But as we got closer my home, it was getting stronger. It didn't hurt, but it felt like pressure, or as if something was pulling me someplace.
We reached my home and I let us all in before I marched up to my room and dropped on my bed. I would have thought that I would be asleep by the time my head hit the pillow, but it was just the opposite. Despite how tired I was, I could not drift into unconsciousness.
After tossing and turning for a few minute, my cell phone started to ring. Jasmine.
"Hello?" I groaned.
"Hey Chloe, Are you having issues getting to sleep too?"
How did she know? "…Yeah. You too?"
"I'm coming over. Set up another bed on your couch." I groaned and went to get blankets out of the cupboard. I was so confused.
Sorry the chapter's so short, but I'll try to update tomorrow if I have the time. Please review!
