How long have you been up in that tree?
Sophie was walking home from school, taking a shortcut through the woods. She had reached Jack's lake when she heard a soft snoring coming from a tree above her. She looked up to see Jack, asleep on his front almost hugging the branch that he was on. She laughed at the sight then clamped her hand over her mouth when she heard how loud it was.
Jack stirred and opened his bleary eyes. He blinked a few times and they clearer somewhat.
"Hey Soph. What are you doing here?" He said in a rough voice.
"Going home, school ended a while ago.
"That's good." He said as he closed his eyes again.
"Jack?"
He hummed to show he was listening,
"How long have you been up in that tree?"
"What day is it?"
"Tuesday."
Oh, well then about two weeks." He paused. "I think, maybe more."
Sophie's face softened. "Oh Jack. Come with me. Jamie's off at school. You can sleep in his bed for a while."
"No, you don't have to do that." He waved away the offer.
"I wasn't asking, Frost. I was telling. Now, come on."
A/N Fixed it! Thanks for reading and reviewing!
