There were falling sleet from the skies, big heavy snowflakes that melted almost as soon as they reached the ground. And though that fact, it created a really thin layer of sleet on the road, that of course, made the road really slippery. When I reached the right driveway, I had already slipped enough to fall twice, and I would probably have a large bruise in an unmentionable place pretty soon.
"Hey guys."
"Hello Lex." Came from different angles in the living room. I walked into the living room, and sat down in the sofa, on the table stood bowls with crisps and sweets, and bottles with Fanta and cola, everything was done and bought because tomorrow morning, we would go to the train station early In the morning, and wave Vie and Blaine off.
The rest of the evening, I, Vie, Blaine and Kurt sat in the living room, talking, laughing, listening to and playing music, and of course eating, Burt and Carole were also doing that for a couple of hours, but decided to leave "us kids." Alone.
Some hours later, Carole pov
"It´s been quiet in the living room for a while, don´t you think?" I asked Burt, when it started drawing close to midnight. Burt yawned, and nodded.
"I´ll go check on them." I said, stood up and walked over the living room. What I saw was a so fun sight, I had to go get the camera, and tell Burt to come and see this, I walked over to the room where he sat.
"Burt… come on you gotta see this." I said in a low voice. He looked a bit confused, but pushed his chair backwards, and stood up while I got the camera. When we got into the living room again, we both had to bite our lips not to laugh and possibly wake them up.
Of course, the fact that they all four had fallen asleep wasn´t fun in itself, the fun part was how they had fallen asleep. Kurt and Vie had fallen asleep in each couch, no strange with that, but next to the couch Kurt had fallen asleep in, laid Blaine, the whole of his tall self- on the floor, but I´d have to admit, the way Lex had fallen asleep, set the record. She was lying on her stomach, on the back of the sofa… on top of it. I smiled, and took the photos I wanted, luckily, they had fallen asleep with the light on, so the flash wasn´t needed.
"We should probably put a mattress on the floor next to the sofa, so Lex don´t hurt herself in case she falls down.
"We… should." Burt seemed to almost be sleeping at this moment, I hit his head slightly.
"Come on… get the inflatable mattress and blow it up . I´ll get covers and pillows for them all." Burt nodded and walked over to the garage, I could only lift one duvet at the time, so I started with getting Vie´s covers and pillow. When I came downstairs again, I lifted Vie´s head carefully and tucked the pillow in under her head, before I laid the covers over her. Then I got Kurt´s, then Blaine´s. I wouldn´t wanna risk putting any covers over Lex before Burt had put that mattress on the floor, in case she´d move when I put the covers over her. A few minutes later, Burt came with the mattress, and I pulled the covers over her.
Burt seemed to have kind of a hard time keep standing, and I was tired to, so I grabbed him by the shoulders and together we walked upstairs, after I had turned off the lights off in the living room.
Early morning, Lex pov
I groaned, and started moving, suddenly I felt myself falling from something, but before I had the time to get scared, I landed on my side on a mattress behind the couch. I turned on my back, and then I remembered today was the day Vie was leaving.
I stood up, and looked around the room. On the table stood the glasses and bowls from yesterday evening. Vie and Kurt were asleep in each sofa, Blaine was sleeping on the floor, I sat down on the mattress again, and laid on my back.
She had changed so much since I met her on that bench outside that bench, but if I closed my eyes, I could still see that scared little girl.
I could hear Kurt and Blaine waking up and walking upstairs, they hadn´t seemed to see that I was awake, and they didn´t turn the light on.
Vie got up too, and Burt and Carole walked past, but I just kept on staring into the ceiling, I thought about how empty it would feel here when Vie had left.
I remembered what I had dreamed tonight, I had dreamt this dream loads of times, but usually the one running in front of me, this time it had been Vie. She was running in a forest, I ran behind her, trying to catch up, but she ran too fast, when I was close enough to touch, I stretched out my hand, and then I woke up.
I got up, did what I was supposed to do, ate breakfast, brushed my teeth, etcetera.
"Vie?" I took my, when- I get- away- from- my- dad- list, and walked over to Vie. I asked her if she agreed on me crossing the "helping a child stuck with abusive parents" thing. She agreed, and I crossed it.
We packed into Burt´s minibus, us six, and Vie and Blaine´s bags. Before Burt drove us towards the train station.
Vie and Blaine were on the train, Vie was leaning out the window, and I was running next to it, holding to Vie´s hand.
"I love you" I shouted.
"What?" she shouted back.
"I SAID I LOVE YOU." I shouted at the top of my lungs.
The train was going too fast, I couldn´t run any faster, and when Vie´s hand slid out of mine, I had to stop running
