A/N: Ha, I made it really obvious about who's related to who! Oh well. (: Review?
Chapter 2:
Lili's POV-
I stepped out of the shower, the steam from the hot water surrounding me. "Hot showers never fail!" I think to myself, feeling a little bit better. I wrap my towel around my petite body and walk into my room, careful not to wake Mia, who is still sleeping peacefully on my bed.
"What to wear?" I wonder, digging in my closet. I hear a noise from my bed and find Mia, still asleep, whimpering. I throw on basketball shorts and a Hollister Tank top, and then walk over to my sister.
"Mia." No response.
"Mia!" I try again, shaking her arm a little. "Damn it!"
"Mia, you need to wake up." Finally, her eyes flutter open. She glares at me and sticks out her tongue. "There's my sister!" I think with a smile on my face.
"Very mature Mia Renee!" She laughs at me. "I can't lose my sissy."
"You're walking me to school, right?" She questions excitedly.
"Just like I always do, dork!" I sigh. I Know exactly what she's about to say..
"Umm, do you know what that is, Lili?" She gasps; I laugh but try to keep a straight face.
"Yes, Mia." A little boy in Mia's class told her what a dork is; I think his name was Drew.
"Well, last time I checked I do NOT look like a.. whale.. thingy!" She whispers at me. I can't help it, I start to laugh. "Okay Mia, go get dressed. You don't want to be late for school!" I managed to say once I calmed down.
"Liiiiili! Do I have toooo?" I pretend like I'm considering it. "Yes! Maybe after school we can go see mom?" She perks up at the suggestion. Mom's in the hospital again, and my dad.. Well, I don't really remember him. Mom doesn't like to talk about it either, she always changes the subject. So it's just us. Mom, Mia, and I.
"Okay!" She scrambles to untangle herself from all of my blankets. As she stands up, she trips.
"Mia! Are you okay?" I see a lump forming on her forehead. "Y-yeah. I think so." She stutters.
"Okay, well you need to take your medicine, and then get dressed, and don't forget to brush your hair and teeth!" I call as she walks out of my room. "Fine then, be that way." I stick my tongue out at her.
"Yuuuup, real mature Lili!" Mia calls. "How did you..? Never mind I don't want to know." She's always been like that. It's kind of creepy, really.
I jump off my bed, and run into the bathroom, and finished getting ready. " Backpack? Check. Homework? Check. Cell Phone? Nope." I run back to my room and grab my cell phone. One missed call, two texts. The call is from an unknown number. Weird. One text is from Isobel, my best friend, the other from Danny, my best guy friend.
Isobel: Ahhh! I look like shit! Anyway, where are you? I need to talk to you about Ben! "Whatever. Shut- up." I think to myself. Isobel may be my best friend, but she can be.. A little much at times. I decide to reply.
Lilianna: Isobel, shut- up. You do not look like crap. You never do.! I'm getting ready with Mia. Leaving the house in like.. 10 min? What's up with Ben? "Done." I love that girl to death; she's like a second sister to me! But she.. Is vain and kinda mean. She insists on finding me a boyfriend and when I'm upset about my mom, she snaps at me. Maybe that's why I haven't told her about Mia yet.. "Crap! Danny's text!" I scroll down to look at his message.
Danny: So I was talking to Sarah and she said that she would rather be Padme then Leia because she would be with Anakin.. Who do you choose? XP "Wow, you would!" I laugh this something that Danny would definitely do. He's a year younger than me, and a nerd, but he's like the brother I've never had.
Lilianna: Dude, I agree with Sarah on this, Anakin's hot. :P
Okay, so maybe I'm a nerd too, but not as big as Danny. I don't know what I would do without him!
I snap my phone shut without seeing if either of them replied.
"MIA! If we don't leave now, we'll be late!" I shouted.
"Okay Lili, one second!" After a few minutes, she's flying down the stairs.
"Whoa Mia! Careful." I say, startled. "Sorry" She says with a sheepish grin.
"So Mia, I want to talk to you about last night.. Do you remember what you said your nightmare was?" I ask, worried about her response.
"Not really Lili.. What did I say" I can tell that she's trying to remember.
"Mia, you said that you had a nightmare about mom dying.. And you having cancer." I said the last part quieter and gentler. "Mia, I know that I'm sick.. Doesn't mean it's not a nightmare though." I feel tears stinging my eyes. I puller closer to me, blinking away the tears.
"Okay." I notice that we're at her school. "You don't have to tell anyone, you know that right? When I come pick you up after school, I'll talk to the nurse and everyone." She doesn't respond, but gives me a hug. "Love you." I hug her tighter. She walks into school, and I turn around, starting to walk to my own school, "Damn, school."
