My small world

SHE WENT BYEBYE

I see a face. I can't exactly make it out. All I know is that it is familiar. I hear someone calling out my name.

"Austin? Austin?"

I wake up. What a strange dream. Ray is holding me in the palm if her hand, nudging me gently with her index finger.

"You up?"

"Halfway," I mumbled. I sat up in her hand. Where are Meghan and Angelic I wonder?

"I wish I could hug you..." Said Ray. I look up into her eyes. Those beautiful green eyes of hers. I hug her thumb.

"At least I can hug you... Sort of..." I say.

"Where did Meghan and Angelic go?" I ask.

"They're getting food."

"What happened yesterday with Meghan trying to kill you and all that?"

"She's jealous if me." I frown. Jealous of Ray?

"What?" Asks Ray noticing that I look confused and weirded out.

"Why is she jealous if you?"

"I don't know, but she keeps saying I have something she wants."

"She sounds like a cliché cartoon villain." I retort. Ray pokes me just enough so that I lose my balance. I almost fall between her fingers.

"Austin!" She cries. I stand up again.

"Never, EVER do that EVER again, Ray. Stop using my smallness to your advantage." Ray's eyes fill with tears.

"I-I'm so sorry. I thought- that you were going to fall." She sniffed. I touched a crease in the palm of her hand. She started crying. Her fingers curled over me like a blanket. That wasn't very, um, convenient since it was mid-July. But I went with it and she cryed herself to sleep. I decided to sleep too, despite the fact that I already had a really long nap. But before I could close my eyes, Meghan burst through the door.

"A-Angelic. She was-she was right beside me an-and I-she.... ANGELIC IS LOST!!!!" Meghan screeched. Ray sprang awake.

"YOU LOST MY BEST FRIEND?" She better not punch Meghan with the hand I'm in. Meghan started crying.

"Angelic... Where are you? I want you to come home." She sobbed. I put my hands both on Ray's index finger. She touched my back with her other finger.

"We're finding Angelic."
