I loved writing this chapter! So much fun! I know it seems like Johanna is being a little kinder then she is but keep in mind she aged and she changed. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: Okay, I honestly don't know why I'm writing this now. Because out of my 8 stories, this is the first time I've put a disclaimer. Any chiz, the characters in this story do not belong to me. Only Aliena, Brielle and a few others that'll be on the way!
Diaries of District 2
Chapter six
I was in my office, just relaxing, when Posy barged in the room and gathered me in a hug. This precious child was the world to me. She hadn't even known her father who was killed in the mine explosion when she was in the womb. I was that figure for her and I was determined to set a great example.
"Hey Posy." I chuckled. "What's up?" I asked her as I sat her on my lap.
The nine year old looked adorable with her yellow sundress on and a matching headband.
She smiled up at me. "I was bored at home. Rory was too busy with his girlfriend and Vick was hanging out with his friends and Momma was on the phone for like forever. So she told me to come and hang out with you!" She rambled.
I grinned and brushed the hair out of her eyes. "Where are Tasmin and Deana?" I asked. Those are her best friends. She met them the second we arrived in the District and the three of them have been inseparable ever since.
She frowned. "Tasmin has a cold and Deana is visiting her cousins in District 8."
I felt bad for my younger sister. "Well I guess then you'll just have to stay here with me today."
Her face lit up when she smiled, showing her recently lost front tooth. I would give anything for her to be happy.
"Really Gale?"
"Really Posy." We touched our noses the way that only we could and she jumped off of my lap as I stood up.
"So Miss Hawthorne, where to?"
I playfully asked her.
"You mean I get to decide?" Her eyes went from big to huge in a matter of seconds.
"Yes ma'am."
"Okay! Ummm... I wanna go see Johanna!" She answered.
I was kind of stunned. I mean of all of the people of the building, she wanted to see Johanna. I was beginning to protest.
"Posy...how about we go-" I began. But she interrupted.
"Pleeeeeaaase! Pretty pretty pleeeeeeease with a cherry on top?" Posy begged with those cute gray eyes. And that toothy grin. I had to give in. I just couldn't say no.
I sighed. "Off we go!"
"Yay!" She squealed with excitement. And we took off, hand in hand, to Johanna's office.
When Posy and I arrived at her door I told Posy to go ahead in, I waited at the side and listened to their conversation.
"Hi Johanna!" Posy exclaimed as she ran up to Johanna and enveloped her in a hug. Johanna seemed hesitant at first, but reluctantly hugged her back to my surprise.
"Hey kiddo." Johanna said when they released each other and Posy took a seat. "Whatcha need?"
"I was bored at home so I came to hang out with Gale today and he said we could to what I wanted to so I wanted to see you!" She explained.
Johanna was taken aback. The look on her face said it all. "You-you wanted to see me?"
Posy nodded.
"Why I'm flattered!" she stated and Posy giggled.
Johanna pretended to be shocked. She gasped. "What happened to your front tooth Posy?"
Posy opened her mouth and pointed to the hole between her teeth all the while trying to speak. "You men dis won?"
I stifled a laugh. Kids these days.
Johanna grinned. "Yeah 'dat won'."
Posy laughed and explained.
"A few days ago, I was poking at my loose tooth a lot 'cause it was annoying me. And Gale finally gave me an idea to tie it to a rock and drop the rock."
Oh I remember this. I will never hear to the end of It, though it was an honest mistake.
"And I wanted it gone so I did what he did. When it was time for me to drop the rock I was too scared to do it. So without me telling to do so, Gale threw the rock and turns out my tooth was a root one."
Johanna's face turned from amusement to concern to frustration.
"So in the end Momma rushed me to the hospital, got my mouth patched up, and Gale got in REALLY BIGtrouble even though it was an accident."
I knew Johanna was trying not to laugh so she showed mock anger. "How could he do that? Ugh. When I see him, he is in big trouble with me!"
Posy nodded in agreement. "So did you cry at all?" Johanna asked.
"Nope. Not one bit." Posy replied.
Liar. She did so. In fact, she cried so much, the doctor had to give her something to put her to sleep.
"Wow! I would have so cried! Such a brave girl!" Johanna cried. "Well I think you deserve a special treat!"
She got out a jar of lollipops from her desk and let Posy pick one.
She popped one of them in her mouth, satisfied.
"Thank you Johanna."
"Don't mention it kid. Where is your brother anyways?"
"Oh Gale is behind the door."
Johanna smirked. "Come out and face me brainless."
I came out and stole one of the pieces of candy from the jar and popped it in my mouth.
"Hey! Those are for the kids stupid!" She yelled.
"And your point is..." I retorted.
"Ugh. You would say that." She glared at me.
Johanna suddenly stood up and held out her hand. "Come on Posy, I hear that there's a whole batch of cookies with your name on them."
Posy smiled and took Johanna's hand as they strode down to the kitchen.
I went back to my office and collapsed in my arm chair.
The power of Posy.
