Chapter 12.
For the next 2 days all Raven did was sleep the whole time. She didn't get up to eat; take a shower, or anything. Rosa and Simon had both wanted to go over there and check on her but neither was sure if it was a good idea. On the 3rd day Raven finally woke up. The first thing she did was got up and took a shower. She realized after she got out that it was 12:00pm and then looking at the calendar she realized that she had slept for 2 days and had not woken up. She knew she should call Rosa but then she realized that she would not have been home if she did call for she was probably at school still, and she couldn't call Simon because he would be sleeping since it was still light out. She sighed went downstairs to the kitchen and then looked for something to eat. She finished eating a sandwich, which she had to force down, and then went back to bed. She found an old photo album and was sitting there looking through old family pictures. She was crying again so she decided it was time to put them up. When she had put the photos back into her closet she sighed and looked at the clock. It was 3 o'clock Rosa would be home soon and she didn't want to talk right now so instead she went back to bed.
When Rosa got home she automatically called Raven and still didn't get an answer the phone. She decided she was going over there tonight and finding out what was wrong with her. She sighed and nodded yes she was going but not right now she had to do something first. She sighed and went to do her homework. At about 8:00pm she figured Raven would be up and she left to go see her. She sighed and then noticed a familiar figure walking down the same street she was driving. She pulled over to the side and rolled down the window.
"Hey Simon do you want a ride? It might be faster and less tiring then walking." She smiled and he looked at her and nodded and got in. They reached ravens house, which was sill dark for she had not bothered with lights when she got up earlier since it had been light out. When they got to the house and tried to get in they found that the door was locked as was all the windows. Which was normal because they never had the windows open unless they were home and it was warm inside and outside. They looked at each other and sighed.
" What do we do now? Do you think we should go inside and if so how do we get in there?" Rosa asked. Simon sighed walked over and pushed the door down with a little force. They both walked in and looked around. The house was very dark so Rosa had a hard time seeing but Simon could see fine. Rosa walked over and turned on a light and looked around. Raven was not downstairs that was obvious so they went upstairs. Rosa went straight to Raven's room. She was there on the bed sleeping. Rosa sighed and walked over. Simon walked into the room and walked over too.
"Hey raven time to get up," Rosa said. Raven took a few minutes then opened her eyes. She looked at them and sighed. Her eyes were really red and had dark circles around her eyes. She looked terrible Rosa and Simon thought.
She looked at them then closed her eyes. "What do you want I am trying to sleep?" she said not meaning to be rude but she felt it. She looked at them after much trying to open her eyes and smiled.
" I'm sorry you guys i'm just so tired I don't know why." She looked at Rosa "why aren't you at school still?" she looked at Simon "Why aren't you hiding form the sun?" she looked at the windows which still had the curtains on them and sighed she couldn't see very well.
Rosa smiled "It's 8:45pm Raven. Have you been asleep this whole time?"
Raven sighed and nodded. "I guessed so" she looked at Simon and Rosa and closed her eyes and fell asleep again no longer able to fight it.
