Chapter 13

Laura's POV

It has been a week since Bo gave his life to save ours and the world. I haven't been eating as much, talking to the others, or trying to keep my promise to Bo. It hurts too much. I just got him back a few months ago. I was still in my room crying. Odd has tried to tell me that Bo will always watch over me and be with me in my heart. I know this but it still hurts too much to do anything. I feel like it is wrong to be happy.

"Laura, come on. It's your birthday. You can't sit around and cry all day. You would make Bo sad to know that you're just moping around all day." I heard Aelita say from outside my door.

"I know Aelita, but I just want to be left alone." I sobbed.

"I know, but I won't let you." Aelita said, "Now come on. We're gonna go get you some food."

"Come on, Laura. If you don't eat your gonna hurt yourself." I heard odd say. "And I promised Bo that I would look after you, my love."

"Odd is right. Bo would be sad and mad at me if he saw what I was doing to myself." I opened the door to see everyone standing there. I was wearing one of Bo's shirts that were too long on me, and I was wearing a pair of pj pants. My clothes were baggy on me due to all the weight that I lost. I must had lost a good five pounds, or many more. My hair was mess, and my eyes were red and swollen from crying all the time.

"Laura, you're a mess." Yumi said.

"I'm sorry guys." I said.

"It's ok to be sad, Laura. We all miss him and know that you are hurting the most, but don't hurt yourself. It won't help." Jeremy said.

"I will try harder." I sniffed.

"That's all Bo wanted you to do." Ulrich said.

"Ok, Yumi and Aelita help Laura get ready, and we will wait here." Odd said.

"Ok" Yumi and Aelita said at the same time.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a while, we were all heading to Odd's and Ulrich's dorm for a private party. We had told Mr. Delmas that Bo had just disappeared. We were gonna wait one more week before Franz told them that he was found dead. We hadn't seen him in a few days. No one had. He called us to say that he was searching for Bo. We had cake and ice cream waiting on us in there dorm. I was kinds surprised that Odd hadn't eaten it yet.

"Ok let's get this party started." Odd said.

We had been eating and talking for about thirty minuets when the door opened.

It opened fully and there he was.

"It can't be? Bo? Is that really you?" I whispered.

"It is me, little sister. I am back." He said.

I ran to my brother and grabbed his shirt and started to cry into his shirt. He wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tightly.

"How are you here?" Odd asked in awe.

"Well, when I died, Laura gave me a pendent. You remember, Laura?" Bo asked, "Well it was a piece of the powers that Laura had just received, so you saved me once again, little sister." I chuckled.

"Yeah, I remember it, Bo." I said in to his chest.

"Well, it sent me back to Lyoko where Franz found me."

"But why didn't Franz tell us you were alive?" Yumi asked.

"That was my request. There was a chance that he couldn't bring me back. And if he couldn't, I didn't want you to get your hopes up. So I asked him not to say anything." Bo said, "I'm sorry Laura and everybody."

"It's ok. You're here now and that's what matters." I cried into his chest.

"Happy birthday, little sister."

"It is now that you back, Bo." I said no longer crying, but just hugging him now, "Promise me that you want leave me again, Bo. Please?"

"I will try and keep this promise. I will try my hardest." Bo stated.

"That's all I needed to hear, big brother. That's all I needed to hear." I said as I let go.

"Ok, now let's really get this party started." Bo shouted as he started tickling me.

"No fair, Bo." I said between gasps, "Stop it."

"No way, Jose." Bo said smiling.

"Come on please." I pleaded.

"Ok, Laura. I just need to hear your laugh and see your smile to make sure I was really back." Bo said laughing.

"Well, it's good to hear your true laugh again not the fake laugh." I said.

"I feel like a new person with out the darkness weighing me down." Bo said with a smile.

"It's good to see the life in your eyes. The fire that only someone who is truly alive has." Ulrich said.

"Yeah, you seem so easy going now." Odd said.

"It's good to have you back, Bo." Jeremy said walking up and shaking Bo's hand.

"We missed you, Bo." Yumi said as she wiped some tears from her eyes.

"You and Ulrich have been looking after each other like I asked you to?" Bo smirked.

"Yeah, thanks for all your help with XANA, Bo, and you too, Laura." Yumi and Ulrich said.

"No problem. That's what friends are for." Bo and I stated.

"Bo, I am glad your back." Aelita said as she threw her arms around Bo's neck.

"It's good to be back." Bo said returning the hug.

"It's good to be back. Now we can just be normal teens." I heard my brother said.

"Yeah Odd. I'm sorry that we got off to a bad start when we first meet, but I trust now that you will watch after and take care of Laura when I am not around." Bo stated.

"With my life." Odd said.

"Thanks" Bo said.

"We will all look after and protect each other because that's what friends for." Odd said.

And you know what? He is right.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It has been a few weeks and it is summer time. Ulrich, Odd, Jeremy, and Yumi got permission from their parents to stay with Bo, Aelita, and me at Uncle Franz's place. Odd and Jeremy have started training with my brother and Ulrich. They have both toned up really well. Ulrich and Yumi are closer than ever. Jeremy and Aelita have changed a little. Jeremy is now wearing contacts and is a little better at gym now. Aelita let her hair grow a little, but still wears a lot of pink.

Odd and I got part time jobs for the summer. We both work at the same place. Bo and Odd get along real well now. They even teamed up on April fools day and prank ever one of us as well as most of the school. Odd, Ulrich and Bo started doing better in school. Without XANA to bother us we had time to study. Bo, well, he is still very protective of me. He spends a lot of his time training. He seems happy, but I am not sure. He is able to hide how he really feels from the others, but not me. I think there is something missing in his life, but what it is, I don't know. I do know one thing though he will find it some how, some way, some day.

If there was anything our parents taught us is was always listen to your heart. It will never steer you wrong.
