Chapter 14
"You may go see her now. She should be awake soon."
"Thank you." We walked in, and again I stayed in the back and let her family talk to her first. Rory began to stir.
I slowly opened my eyes. My eyelids felt heavy and I was tired. Ever so slowly I let the light overcome the darkness. I blinked a couple times to let my eyes adjust to the light. When things began to come into focus I saw my family standing around me.
"Mom?"
"Hey baby! How are you feeling?" She was talkin in a whisper.
"As good as can be expected. How long have I've been asleep?"
"Oh, a good 5 hours I think. Anyways. We just wanted to see how you were and to tell you that we'll be back in the morning to come see you. You need to sleep."
"What time is it?"
"Let's just say that if you were to wake me up on a normal day, you would be a carpet in our house."
I laughed at her. "OK, I get it. It's really early."
"Mmmm hmm! OK, sleep hun. We'll see you in the morning." She kissed me on the forehead. Luke, dad and my grandparents (A/N: I just didn't put them in before... cuz I forgot they should be there...) followed and left. I was about to close my eyes again when I felt a light touch on my hand. I looked up and saw Tristan.
"Hey you. How you feeling?"
"Tired. Are you going home too?"
"Yeah, in a minute."
Then I remembered something. Where was my present he was supposed to give me?
"Where's my present?" He laughed at me and shook his head. "Don't shake your head at me buster!" I tried to hit him but I was too tired.
"I'll give it to you tomorrow. You're too tired to even think straight."
"No! I want it now!" I couldn't help but whine! I wanted to know what it was and I wanted to know now!
"I promise you can have it tomorrow! OK?"
"Fine!"
"Now sleep. The sooner you fall asleep the sooner tomorrow will come."
"Will you stay until I fall asleep?"
"Sure."
He pulled up a chair and took my hand. I closed my eyes and was immediately fell into a content sleep.
I watched her sleep for a little bit before I went home. It was going to be empty again. I had only seen my parents once since I arrived home. As always they were never home. Never there, in more than one aspect. I pulled into the garage and parked my car. I slowly made my way to the house. I opened the door and walked in, only to be hit by screams.
"I don't care! You are not keeping me here!"
"What do you mean I'm not keeping you here! I forbid you to leave!"
I shook my head and ran up the stairs to my room. I couldn't take this. Not now. I fell onto my bed and used my pillow to block out the yelling. I needed to think of what I was going to say tomorrow. What I was going to do. I let out a frustrated cry and got up to get ready for bed. I'm not going to get any sleep tonight
