Inseparable

• Chapter 1O •

• Hope •

I woke up the next morning, and I had felt like I'd been hit by a truck. This is normal for me, but this was different.

Usually I could stand up slowly and get out of bed and face the day. But not today. Literally I couldn't get up, I don't know what is wrong with me.

Then everything came flashing back from last night.

Sleeping on the floor
Waking up to a scream
Faith hyperventilating
Anxiety
Couldn't fall back to sleep

Everything from last night was so scary! I had never seen my sister suffer like that and the worse thing of it all, that I had no way I could help her.

I felt useless. I couldn't help her cause I had no idea what to do! I've never been in that situation before!

"It is way to early to get up," Faith says, sitting up. I can't believe she is up right now. Mind you, she is the morning person and I am, well, not.

"Ya it should be illegal!" I cry, burying my head in my pillow.

Faith groans while standing up, heading out the door. Probably to actually go get ready, as I should be doing right now.

I didn't know how long I was laying there, but Faith came in and I told me to get up again. Finally, but slowly, I got up.

I got ready; taking a shower, doing my make up, and getting changed. I didn't do anything with my hair, just combed through it. I choose black pants, and a black shirt. I grabbed my black shoes and headed down stairs.

Before I could get down there my dad stopped me. "Hey Hope?"

"Ya?"

"Wear at least something that has colour on it," my dad says and I groan. He wasn't as bad as my mom, but he still didn't like me wearing all black.

"Fine..." I trudge back up to my room and put a blue shirt around my waist. I looked in the mirror to check how I looked.

I guess I don't look that bad. I thought to myself.

I ran down stairs and saw Faith with a big fat smile on her face. This was not weird because usually she does, but it is unusual because last night ha been really hard. Why is she smiling?

"Someone's happy," I commented grabbing a bowl of cereal.

"Didn't know it was illegal."

It is when your smile is that ugly I thought. I didn't really mean it, it was just a quick comeback, but I refrained myself from saying it. If it was anyone else but Faith I would've said it.

"It is if it has to do with-you know what never mind, it's not, keep doing your happy dance thingamobober" I try to smile, I hope she knows how hard it is for me to not say anything about Kyle.

When I finished my breakfast, I quickly ran into the bathroom and brushed my teeth.

"Hope hurry up! We're gonna be late," Faith banged on the door.

"Gimme a second! I'm brushing my teeth!" I yelled back to her and she said something but I couldn't quote hear her.

Finally I ran down stairs, got my backpack and head out the door. Faith was quick to follow and  like most mornings, we walked in silence.

Once I got to school, I went straight to my locker. I had so much on my mind, I did not want to talk to anyone today.
