Seventh Chapter
We were in front of their house now and we had run out of subjects to talk about.
-Elia?
-Hm?
-I think I am going to stay outside a little bit longer.
-As long as you don't run away again, I'm fine with it.
We laughed. She's nice, just like Lottie.
I'll give this world a week, after that I'll head home. I'll be back in five seconds! They can survive to a five seconds without me. I'm sure they can handle the pressure. Does not mean that I can. I have been with Lottie h24 since I was born, a week is a long time, but I will get through this. I remember that one time where I was in vacation with dad in Canada for some father-daughter quality time. It had lasted 15 days until I could not stay away any longer. I know now that the "father-daughter quality time" was actually a "father-work quality time". But, youth is full of innocence. My dad is a lawyer and he had a canadian client.
Enough thinking about your family, Elizabeth, you'll just miss them more! But how can you not?
I just realised that I'm the only person on this planet (even though I'm not on Earth anymore, I can not change the expression) to call myself Elizabeth. Everybody calls me Lizzie, well except Elia... but neither is she calling me Elizabeth! Elizabeth what a commun name. As Charlotte and Alice. Luckily, we have Lidiana that stands out of the crowd for us.
By the Angel, what did I say, stupid cow? No more thinking about your family! I am going to go in my room, then I will slip in my bed and easily fall asleep. That is an actually really good plan. Too bad I do not follow plans! I entered the house to find a Peter standing on the other side of the door. I almost hit him.
-Whoa!
-Sorry, I scared you again. It's just that Elia said you needed some time alone and I thought it would be a good idea to wait for you inside.
-It's okay, it seems like I am use to it now. I'm immunized against your scary attacks.
-Good.
He gave me some kind of worried look.
-Don't go away that long again, okay?
-I fell asleep, stupid enormous jet lag. I won't do it, but you probably know that I am going to head home someday, right?
-Yeah, but for now you are under my responsibility, so don't run away you foolish child.
-Hey I'm like two years younger than you!
-You don't know how old I am.
-Neither do you!
-You are 18.
-What the heck? How do you know?
-I got it right? I seriously took a wild guess.
-Okay my turn.
-Try as you might.
-21.
-Almost, I am 22.
-Well, at least I was close.
-It's true that you could had said 36 years old.
I yawned.
-Oh well, time for me to go sleeping. I will see you tomorrow. Good night, Tall guy.
-'Night, Specimen.
I walked toward the staircase.
-Wait!
-What?
-Haven't you sleep enough, he said with a smile.
-Looks like not.
I climbed them. I pushed the door of my room open and immediately jumped in my bed, since I was already in my pj's and that I had no toothbrush here.
I'll buy myself one. Wait, can you buy stuff here? Is there any supermarket? I'll have to explore those options once I know what I am. I have to admit that I have my priorities straight, not like that Hermione-girl in Harry Potter. Those are great movies. Lottie keeps saying that the books are better, but I am not much of a reader type.
We have a very diversified family. My dad is as serious as a heart attack, my mother is awkwardly funny (in other word, she is a total pervert), Lilie is as mad as a hatter (this one is a complete weirdo), Lidie is as happy as a lark (I remember that she was the only one smiling at my grandparents' funerals), Lottie is the cliché of a good girl (you know, when you happen to read fanfiction where the good girl falls for the bad boy, well I'm talking about that cliché) and finally there is me, also it's not necessary to talk about myself, you already know everything there is to know (except maybe my hair and eyes colors... but you'll learn it all later). I thought about my family again, darn. Somehow, it makes me feel less lonely to think about them, it's like they are here with me.
Wow, I am so tired that I start acting like a touchy-feely person, nice. It's definitely my time to leave for SleepyCity (it's a place that I invented with Lottie when I was four and she was six). I was afraid of going to sleep, (Ah, childhood, a period where you are afraid of everything and anything) so Lottie told me that once you fall asleep, your mind goes to SleepyCity and it gets protected my thousands of guards. Now, you know one of my deepest darkest secret, I was scared of sleeping for an entire two hours. TA. TA. TAAAA. I sincerely miss childhood, it was a great time.
Old memories.
