Juno finds herself involved with two siblings and their mother. She realizes that living in the mountains isn't as easy as her grandmother had made it seem, and school isn't the only thing she needs to worry about. Tales and stories from her neighbo...
I felt my head spinning like crazy and I slowly opened my eyes. I touched my head as the room swirled around me. I took a deep breath and tried to sit up. Darkness almost overtook me again. I lay back down.
I heard faint distant like footsteps. "Your up!!!" I heard miss Hana's voice say. I tried to respond a, yes or, good morning but all that came out my mouth when I opened it was a gasp for air. She got a chair from the nearby desk and put it next to my bed.
She got my hand and started caressing it softly. "Juno, I know you can't talk right now but, if you find your voice, it would be wise to say what exactly happened" she said with a small smile. I nodded.
I suddenly felt a little better and sat up slowly, afraid to hurt myself. I put my hand on an imaginary pencil and put my other underneath a fake paper. I started scribbling on this imaginary paper. Hana seemed to understand.
She quickly got up and got a pencil and paper from the desk. She handed the things to me and nodded. I placed the pencil in the right position. I started writing.
'I had a problem, it just got me thinking and, I got overwhelmed and fainted' I lied. I didn't want to start drama. I remember my old school where drama just kept following me!
She looked at me and squinted a little"you sure that's it?" She asked. If I had my voice I would have blurred out the truth, but, luckily I didn't. I nodded and put on a fake smile.
I lay back down. "You know, you've been like a daughter to me ever since you came here Juno. You've also been like a sister to Yuki. And don't get me started on Ame" she said.
She left the room and closed the door. I didn't understand. What does she mean, don't get me started on Ame? Does he think Of me as a sister, or, did she mean? Nah! Couldn't be"
I slowly got up, when I put pressure on my feet, the whole room started spinning again. I went straight for the desk, grabbing it like if my life depended on it. I walked slowly and opened the closet at the corner.
I looked inside. I saw a black v-shirt, a patterned skirt,black tights, a emo like fingerless gloves and some purple sneakers.

I put the clothes on quickly not thinking twice. I looked in the mirror. I looked like an emo child,I liked it, but it wasn't me. I didn't want to change. I just threw the gloves scarf and thighs back in the closet. Now I looked more like myself.
I smiled weakly and put my hair into two braids. I walked out the room my legs a little weak. I almost collapsed a few times. I went to the kitchen where Yuki, Ame and miss Hana were eating what looked like lunch.
Ame got up pushing his chair back. "Juno!" He said. I smiled warmly again and sat down next to him. "OmgIcan'tbeliveyourup Ithoughtyouwouldlikeneverwakeuporsomth-ing!!!!!" Yuki said faster than what I could understand. She was now hugging me,hard.
I hugged her gently and then she lessened her wrap around me. "Sorry, Im excited" she said. She let go of me "You lost a school day" she said. "But, if you don't feel good enough yet you can totally miss another" I thought about it. I shook my head. Somehow I found my voice. It was low and you could nearly hear it but you could.
"I've lost enough" I said. Miss Hana put a hand on my shoulder. I looked at her. She made me remember my mother. I had to go home. "This weekend, I travel back home. I need it" I said. She nodded.
"What!!!" Ame said. He clutched a small part of his hair and rested the same arm on the table making his head be a little crunched. I looked at the floor, then at Ame. "I need to see my dad" I said. He nodded slowly.
I got up and left. I heard footsteps following me. Someone grabbed my wrist. I turned around. "Do you have to?" I saw Ame's eyes sparkle with a little hope. I looked right at his beautiful honey colored eyes.
"Yes" I said. I started taking a few steps. He just stood there still grabbing my hand. His grip stayed in my hand as I slowly pulled it out until it was just the tip and it came out of his hands. I felt a part of me being torn. This family was mine too.
~~~~~~~Ame's P.O.V~~~~~
Juno got up and started leaving the room. I got up from my chair. I took a step and Yuki blocked my way. I looked into her eyes and she looked into mine. She nodded and let me pass. I went after Juno.
I was right behind her and the first thing that popped into my mind was grabbing her wrist. I did. She turned around to face me. Her eyes sparkled in the windows lighting, but it also reflected sadness.
"Do you have to?" I asked a little hope in me. She looked straight into my eyes. Her light blue eyes showing pain. "Yes" she responded softly. She took a few steps away from me, her wrist still in my hand. She didn't take her hand away from mine, she left it there till I only had the tip of her fingers and it all disappeared.
I went back to the kitchen and sat down. "It didn't go well?" My sister asked. "No" I responded, tears filling my eyes after so long, I forgot the sensation of sadness, it was just numb.
