Chapter 8
The next few days past slowly. My mind began to wonder and by the fifth day I was completely bored out of my brain. I've gotten pretty used to entertaining myself over the years, after all, there weren't very many kids for me to 'hang out' with as a little girl.
But this is just beyond boring.
At least jail got yard time! This stinks.
Tony brought Peter back in everyday at 3.30pm on the dot. I guess that must be when he finishes school.
We end up talking for hours.
I love how i can talk to him about everything and nothing.
Mostly i listen to him tell stories, some about him and some really random like snow white except all the dwarfs are really just fish.
Don't ask, Peter's a weirdo. But i just happen to enjoy the company of weirdos.

Today was just another one of those days.
Tony says that I won't need to stay in here much longer which is a relief.
Only a few more days to let my mind 'settle' and then i can start going back to my normal routine again.
"Hey Ella!"
"Peter! Man i thought 3.30 would never come. Today was the worst."
Peter started calling me Ella a couple days ago. I don't remember why, it sort of just.. happened. Ella. I like the way he says it.
I skipped towards him like a child and flung my arms around his neck.
At first it seemed like he didn't know how to react.
But after a few seconds his arms found their way to my waist and he embraced me tightly.
We broke apart and he grinned sheepishly at me.
"Hey i almost forgot, i have a surprise for you." Peter said, reaching into his bag and pulling out a large white box.
"Really?! What is- Twister! Bahaha you know me so freaking well Sir Parker."
Once we unboxed the game and lay books on each of the four corners so they didn't stick up we started spinning the wheel and the game began.
"Red... Left hand." Peter announced as i moved my arm.
"Yellow.. Right leg. HAHA"
The game only lasted 10 minutes before we got completely tangled up and both fell over in a big heap of sweat and laughter.
Once the laughter died down we were too exhausted to even move a muscle.
We lay next to one another on the soft rug in silence.
The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. I didn't like the silence.
"Tell me another story" i spoke suddenly. Gosh i sounded like such a baby.
"Another one? What was the last one i told you?" Peter asked in an exhausted voice.
"Yesterday, about the lake that made dreams come true." I answered almost instantly.
"I don't think i finished that one did i?"
"No"
"Do you want me to continue that one?"
"Yes"
"Okay"

"And as the boy stared into the lake, all his hope filled into just one wish. It all came true" Peter finished yawning.
It was already late, i had no idea why he was still here.
Sure Tony never set a time when he had to leave but usually he only stayed a couple hours.
It was almost 10.30pm and i was tired.
My eyes were drooping and i just couldn't keep them open.
The last thing i remember was Peter lifting up my curled up body and gently laying me down on the bed.
He pulled the giant fluffy blanket up to my chin and kissed me cheek.
The door opened, he left and then I blacked out.
