Chapter Two......
I woke up the next morning and found my six year old sister sitting on the edge of
my bed holding her doll to her chest. "What do you want, Cassie?" I asked sleepily. "Can't I just greet my big brother good morning?" She asked giving me a disappointed look. "Remember what today is?" "Bug me day?" I answered getting up. "No. It's Sarah's birthday!" I gave her a curious look and asked, "Who is Sarah?" "Think." I thought for a while and remembered it was her doll. "Oh, her!" I finally said pointing to Sarah. "Yes." She answered me looking at her doll. "So, why did you have to come all the way in my room just to tell me it's Sarah's birthday? You don't usually do that." I asked her while looking for my jean pants. Instead of answering me, she ran to her room and slammed the door.
I just stood there in the middle of my room wondering. I was pretty dumbfounded.
I thought for a minute I was going to get in trouble by mom by the way she
slammed her door. But when I got downstairs, she wasn't there. I called for Anne, but she
wasn't home either. I called for dad and Daisy, neither was home. No one was home
except me and Cassie.
I climbed the stairs and knocked on Cassie's door. She didn't answer so, I opened her door. "Cass, where are you?" I said walking in her room. I found her behind a pile of clothes. Her eyes were red with tears. Her eyes were swollen. "What's wrong? What happened?" I asked her in a very soft voice. "Nobody's home! Where did they go off to?" she cried. "That's what I'd like to know." I said and looked out the window holding Cassie to my chest.
