June Port 2: June, April, and May
Chapter 3: Visiting Mr. Port
Juni woke up, feeling odd. The house was quiet. Of course, it was always quiet, but it was more quiet than usual. An eerie silence filled the house and Juni's hands were unusually clammy.
He put on a shirt and noticed a slip of paper on his side. He opened it curiously.
Dear Juni, I've gone away to do something. Please don't be mad at me. If you want to know more, ask Carmen.
Love, June
Juni's eyes became steely and he ran to his older sister's room.
In Carmen's Room
Carmen's eyelashes fluttered as she realized she had fallen asleep against the window. Sighing, she looked around her room. Her normally bright purple walls looked dull and her bed was unusually clean.
She then heard hurried footsteps outside her door and jumped up. She was shocked to see Juni looking furious with a note in his hand.
" Where's June?" he demanded.
" Good morning to you too, Juni," she replied sarcastically.
" I'm serious, Carmen, no jokes, okay?!"
" Ok, Ok.... She went to help get her father out of prison."
" WHAT?!"
Carmen looked around frantically and whispered, " Shush!"
" What?!"
" Her sister forced her to, Juni. She didn't want to."
" Why'd she go?"
Carmen paused. June's urgent words came floating in her brain.
' Don't tell Juni why! I don't want him to think I'm a sappy 12 year old!'
She grinned as she remembered her answer.
' But you are.'
She closed her eyes and felt a pang of lonliness for her best friend.
Juni was watching Carmen impatiently. " Well?"
" Can't tell you."
" Gosh dangit, I'm your brother! June's my girlfriend! Tell me!"
Carmen smirked as he said this and he turned red. " Just tell me," he said roughly.
" Can't tell you," she said in a sing-song voice.
He opened his mouth but she closed it. " Shut up, Juni and forget it. She'll come back."
In Prison
June felt disgusted as she walked with May to her father's cell. May was swishing her long blond hair and sneering at June. ' I can't believe she's my sister!' thought June.
The bars rattled as June's father glared at her and motioned her in. Grimacing, she sat in front of him.
" Happy?" he asked.
" Yes," she muttered.
" What did you say?"
June forced a smile of her face. " No, father."
"Yeah, right."
June sighed and shifted in her chair. " I've come to ask you for your forgiveness."
" You're not forgiven."
June wanted to cheer. She could get away from May and see Juni-... I mean, the Cortez family!
" Fine by me," she said snootily and walked back to May, who was leaning against a snack machine.
" What'd he say?"
" No."
May sneered and walked away towards the cell. June saw this as her chance to escape.
She started to run fast and didn't look back until she heard May yell, " COME BACK YOU SNOTTY 12 YEAR OLD!"
June looked back and did several flips to make herself go faster. She grinned.
She was going home.
