Morgan's POV
"So, when is your Christmas break starting?" I asked Hayley.
"Yesterday was the last day—how do you not know? I teach your brother." Hayley looked at me—not stopping walking.
"Well I'm not always up to day with Matty's activities. I only pick him up from school."
"Yeah I wonder why you do it."
"Because I'm a good sister." I said obviously.
"Sure." We stopped at the top of the snowy hill once we finally reached it. "So we are here."
"Yep, let's go."
It has been snowing hard these past days here so yesterday Hayley and I planned to come sledding on the snow. I haven't done this since high school but it doesn't mean I don't know how it's done.
We planned this the same day Hayley kicked my out in the morning after we fell asleep in the couch the previous night while watching movies.
Bit rude.
However by the unsure look on Hayley's face I doubt she has ever done this before.
"I don't know Morgan, this doesn't seem safe." She said looking to the rest of the people going down.
"It's totally safe— well here it is, this hill is not that big for anyone to harm themselves badly— unless they do something dumb but it's fine. Even kids do it alone." I pointed to some kids who couldn't be older than thirteen sliding down the hill together.
I put the sledge on the floor and sat so I would be on the back and patted the spot in front of me.
"I don't know why I agreed to this." Hayley mumbled still standing there and now looking at the red sledge.
"Because you know it's going to be fun." I pulled her down by the hand and made her sit on the sledge in front of me.
"Now what?"
"Just put feet inside the sledge and enjoy." I pulled us closer to the hill and counted. "Three!"
I'm not sure of how many times we went down the hill with the slide—all I know is that Hayley lost her fear to it and seemed to be enjoying herself and having fun for a change. She always seems to be preoccupied or too serious so these past weeks since we've been hanging out I've been making sure she has all the fun she can. Because she deserves to have a nice time after all that bullshit life has thrown her way and I'll make sure she gets it.
"Okay I'll admit that was fun." Hayley giggled as we finished our latest slide.
"Told you so."
"Now what?" She asked as I dragged our sledge through the snow.
"I would say we can try skiing or snowboarding but I don't think you'll be up to that and I'm not very good at that." I said and Hayley agreed with a tilt of her head. "How about we go to the restaurant near the hill to eat something and we'll decided what to do next there?"
"Sounds like a plan."
I nodded.
"But first we gotta put this on the car." I motioned at the sledge.
"Oh right, need help?"
"Nah I got it."
After we put the sledge on the trunk of my car we went to eat—it was a restaurant where they served Canadian food as well and they have this thing called poutine—which is what I ordered—it's a french fries with brown gravy and cheedar cheese.
