Floating In The Sky

Chapter 10

Just then, Justin pulled the string which made me release his hand and clutch my backpack tightly as I was pulled up by the air.

Slowly, I landed safely on the ground. My heart was racing and I was out of breath. Justin came running up to me I said,"That. . .was. . .INSANE!"

"I know right."

"Let's go again,"I said pulling his hand.

"You are insane. We have to go its almost sunset."

"It's almost sunset?" I started to panick. Shit, shit.

"Yes its almost 4:30," he said looking at his watch.

"We have to go now."

"We have to return the gear." He said.

"Then let's return it and go home." We both ran.

I reached my house just in time. I immediately climbed the tree and went along the branch pushing the thoughts away, into my room.

I got inside, grabbed a magazine and lied on my bed calming myself and my breathing.

I heard footsteps. What if he saw you? What will you do? What if he saw that you just came in by your body language? My hearts start to race I close my eyes tightly and cover my face with the magazine.

The door creaks open,"What are ye doin'?" Tiago says.

I remove the magazine from my face, open my eyes and sit up."I was reading a magazine." I hold it up.

"Ye should go an' make din'er." He says. He is shaking, not in his senses. He is drunk.

"Okay." I went down the stairs with him and started to make pasta.

Once, it was made I set it infront of him and sat idly on the chair watching him eat. "Why aren't ye eatin'?"

"You prohibited me to." I said clasping my hands on the table.

"No, I didn'. Ye come an' eat 'ere."

"Fine." I take a plate and help myself with pasta. God, please make him drunk more often.

"Ye know, kiddo. I, yer father is goin' to Califernia."

"California?" I said eating the pasta.

"Yea, Califernia." He takes a sip of water.

"For how many days?" He holds up 10 fingers. "10?"

"Yea. But. Ye ain't goin'. As it's. . . ah business." He explains.

"Great" I smile widely.

I went to bed after dragging him to his room, as he passed out during dinner. I look at my phone it has two texts from Justin:

Justin Hey, quick question.
Justin If you wanted to visit anywhere where would you go.
Willow I would like to go fishing on a lake.
Willow Hiking, is a must.
Willow Picnic between the flowers
Justin That's a lot of places.
Willow You said 'anywhere'
Willow And you didn't say one. This means MANY
Justin Ice cream, tomorrow, at 4:10 pm in my backyard.
Willow Are we going to eat ice cream in your backyard?
Justin Yes ;)
Willow That's the first thing we will do in your backyard.
Willow Quick question. Why backyard?
Justin . . . . . . . . .
Willow No answer?
Justin We humans need sunshine for a while.
Justin Also because you remind me of sunshine
Willow So untrue.
Justin If you think that's a lie then take it.
Justin But that doesn't mean you are not sunshine. You are Sunshine.
Willow You just made my eyes water.
Willow Lame.
Justin Whatever. See you tomorrow, Sunshine :)
Willow You too, jerk :)

I placed my phone on my bedside table and fell the most peaceful sleep.
