Elena laid on her bed, her wet hair sprawled across her pillow. She has been in her room what felt like years, but was only an hour. She was thrown out of her thoughts by a knock on her door. Before she could answer, Kirsten and Sandy entered.
"Hi guys-" Elena spoke softly. "I'm guessing Ryan had told you what happened."
"In fact he did." Sandy said taking a seat on the edge of the bed as did Kirsten. Elena sat up and swung her legs over the side of the bed and sat between the two of them.
"Mom, dad, I'm so sorry I disobeyed you guys. It's just it was my first sleep over ever, and you're supposed to watch scary movies and"
"We told you no scary movies Elena. You get nightmares and I know that doesn't seem like much to you, but we see what nightmares do to you. You can't sleep, and when you don't sleep you get cranky and get an attitude, and when you are cranky you don't eat. It's not good for you honey. We weren't trying to be mean last night by telling you, you can't watch scary movies. We were looking out for you. And we know you like them, but they just aren't good for you right now." Kirsten explained in a way that got through to Elena.
"I know." She looked down at her hands. "I'm really sorry."
"We know sweetie." Sandy spoke up kissing her head. "But your mom and I were talking and we agreed that you will get a spanking for disobeying; but it won't be so bad since we think the nightmares are more of a punishment."
Elena once again hung her head looking at her hands. "Okay daddy." She said solemnly. Sandy stood up and gave her another kiss on her forehead. "I'll leave you and your mother to it then." And with that he walked out of her bedroom.
Elena looked at Kirsten with sad blue eyes. She stood up and stood in front of her.
"Lower your bottoms honey and over my lap." Elena obeyed and she gripped the comforter on her bed. Kirsten raised her hand and brought it down with a sharp 'SMACK', to Elena's pale bottom. Elena let out a slight yelp. Kirsten brought her hand down again and again, alternating between cheeks, and up and down from cheek to sit spots. She continued until her pale bottom turned to a light shade of pink. Elena only had a couple tears burning behind her eyes. She was surprised when her mom told her she could stand up. Her dad was right, the spanking wasn't bad at all.
Elena stood up and pulled up her bottoms. Kirsten wiped the stray tear that fell from her eye and engulfed her in a warm, safe hug. "I'm sorry mommy." She sniffled in her shoulder.
Kirsten rocked her while rubbing her back. "Shh, shh, I know honey, I know, you're forgiven. I love you very much."
"I love you too!"

Around three am Ryan heard a persistant tapping at the Pool House door. He squinted his eyes seeing a small figure of his sister. He told her many times that she didn't need to knock but he guess she just felt better knocking. He waved her in.
"Ryan I don't feel good." Elena said groggily, holding her right side. He immediately swung his legs over the side of his bed. "Why didn't you tell Mom or Dad?" He felt her head. "You are very warm."
"Because I wanted you." She sat next to him and wrapped her arms around him. For as long as she could remember Ryan always took care of Elena when she was sick, he always made her feel better. A twinge of pain in her right side made her flinch.
"What's bothering you Lena?" He consistently kept feeling her head.
"M-my ow my right side." She pointed and she grasped her stomach. "Oww Ryan it hur-" With that she vomited all over the place.
"Shit" he mumbled picking her up bridal style. "We need to get you to the hospital." He ran back to the house. "Mom! Dad! Seth!" He called.
"No Ry! I hate the hospital!" Elena cried. "Ahhooww!"
A frantic mother, father and brother ran downstairs to the kitchen. "What's going on is everything okay?" Kirsten spat.
"I think Elena has appendicitis." Ryan said "She needs to go to the ER."
Elena clung onto dear life to Ryan's neck. The car ride was filled with reassurances that everything was going to be okay, and Elena's cries.
It didn't take long for Elena to be seen at the hospital. She was definitely and emergency case.
As the doctor was checking her out Elena held onto Ryan and Kirsten's hands. "Ahhhh! It hurts!" She screamed tears running down her cheeks.
"We need to get her to the OR stat or her appendix is going to burst." The doctor told the nurse as he gently pushed Ryan aside to unlock the bed.
"No Ryan!" Elena cried reaching towards her brother as the doctors were wheeling her away.
"We'll be right here Lena. We're not going anywhere I promise!" Ryan called back, trying to fight his tears. Kirsten saw it was a losing battle and just wrapped her arms around her son and rubbed his back. "Shh It's going to be okay Ryan. She's going to be okay."
Ryan sniffled. "I hope so Mom. I hope so."
