ZOEY (will she make it?)

5

                                                    EMMY'S POV.

   I sat in front of the glass wall staring into space.

  It's been an hour and my sister and her friends are yet to come.

   I hope nothing bad has happend.  I really need to see my sister before I go to bed. I can't sleep without her reading me bed time stories. 

I stood up from the glass stool I sat and walked over to Uncle Andrain and aunt Lindy. They've been trying to call them since but they aren't picking up.

       " Aunt ... when will my sister and her friends be back ? "  I asked staring into her eyes.

       "  Oh my little baby .
          They'll be back soon . "  She said squatting to my level and holding my cheek.

I looked at her pouting my lips.

          "  But they've been gone for an hour now and Zoey's not here to read me bed time stories. " I said.

          " I'll read you bed time stories okay ? "  She said and held my hands. I didn't say anything. I just stared at her.

          " Let's go to bed. " She said carrying me up to her shoulders. She dropped me immediately.

          " You're really heavy Emmy . " She said.

          " Yes ... I'm six and I eat alot . " I said grinning.

           " I'll soon grow bigger than you and uncle Andrain " . I said looking at my body. I looked up and saw aunt Lindy smiling at me.

          " That will be years Emmy . " She said pulling me up the stairs.

         " Yes , three years from now . "  I said grinning.

         " You're really funny. " She said and my cheeks flushed.

We got to my room and she locked the door.
 
           " Are you ready ? " She asked and sat beside me on the bed.  I nodded my head indicating a ' yes '.

                                     ANDRAIN' S POV.
   I watched as Lindy took Emmy up the stairs. I turned on my phone and dailed Daryl's number again.  I've been doing this for an hour now but I ain't getting any result.

     Where the f **k are they ??

  I'm already getting tired.  It's all Daryl's fault.  He shouldn't have gotten all pissed when he saw Zoey hugging me.  If I had known, I wouldn't had let her hug me.

   You should have seen the way Daryl pulled her away from me and yelled at her.  She then stormed out of the house angrily.

   I do have feelings for Zoey but I'm trying my best to wipe it away.

I brought out my phone again and dailed Daryl's number for the umpteenth time. I was about trying again when the door opened and Kate walked in.

             Finally !!!
     
        " Kate where ... " I was saying before Kate angrily pushed me and went up the stairs.
    What's  wrong with her ??

I turned back to the door and Sofie walked in looking sad.

         What's wrong ?? 
 
  Kate walked in looking angry and now Sofie walked in looking sad. 

  I walked slowly towards her and saw she was crying.

    Why's she crying  ?

       " Sofie what's wrong ? " I asked her but got no reply.
