Amy and Ian - The Unspoken Truth- 39 Clues

Chapter 13

   Amy layed silently in her bed bored out of her mind; almost in a day dream. She looked over at the clock. 10:03! I have to get up early!
   Amy heard a soft sniff and a sigh.

   She got up and followed the light 'sniff' every few seconds untill she reached Ian's door . Amy raised her hand to knock.

   "Come in." Said the voice in a low tone, barelly audiable behind the door.

   Amy hesitated for a moment but opened the door to see Ian in his designer pajamas, laying on his bed with a tissue box next to him.

   "Did I wake you, love?" Ian said, then chuckled, since he droped the (what Dan called) the I'm-a-snootie-rich-kid-who-is-absolutely-in-every-way-perfect act.

   Amy almost giggled except for the fact that her boyfriend was up crying when she thought he had been asleep for an hour." What's wrong?" She asked although the answer was obvious. Amy walked over to the bed and sat, putting an arm arount her new boyfriend.

   "I know I shouldn't be upsett about it and all but I find myself missing her..." Ian explained.

   "Would it help to talk about it?" Amy asked.

   "I don't miss the new her, the clue hunt Isabel, it's the pre-clue hunt her. The one who took us to the mall and the mother that loved us when me or Natalie hurt or ached. That mum didn't come arouns to often, but when Natalie and I were younger... she actually loved us. She gave a damb about us and actually...cared" Ian said with morr than a little hurt in his voice.

   Just then the door swang open and a red-faced tear-strooned Natalie ran and jumped up onto the bed and clinged to her brother.

   "Natalie, what are you doing up at this hour?" Ian said like a mother; both full of care but slightly stricked.

   "I was evesdroping on Dan because of our prank war thing and I saw Amy come in and I hadn't heard anything from Dan in a while so I listned to what you were talking about and...and..."  Natalie said in practically one breath.

   "It's okay, Natalie, it's okay..." Ian soothed clinging just as hard as his sister was to him.

   Ian ended the hug, gave Natalie a tissue, and looked at Amy. Then looked at Natalie sheepishly. "Ehh...um..."

   "I figured that out earlier today. You and Amy. I can't help it..." Natalie said as innocently as possible. "And you both owe me for keeping this from Dan. It's harder than you may think." Natalie said matter-of-factly.

   "Anything! He gets a picture of us and it will be everywhere in minutes! There is a reason that I 'forgot' to give him the new password to the security room." Amy practically gasped. "Let's just forget this and go to bed. Goodnight." Amy said and walked twords the door. Natalie looked at her brother as if to say can I sleep with you tonight, please?.

   Ian nodded and pulled the covers up over them both and went to sleep.
