I hate you, Christopher Mirta.

Part 5.

I laugh throwing a pillow at the angry brunette "Why do you run so slow?" I asked, she lunges at me again only to be caught by Molly "No more fighting" she said sternly. Amira groans plopping down on the couch grabbing a bag of chips to snack on. Molly grabs me and sits me next to Amira "Molly, what are you-" "No!" Molly says loudly Amira's lips were sealed now, Molly sighs happily with a smile "Now you'll get along tonight, got it?" we both nodded. Slater sits next to me "She's like a mom" he laughed watching Molly organize bean bags and snacks. Roxy says slipping the DVD into the DVD player "Ok, ok everyone shut up!" she crawled back to the beanbag next to Harvey. After watching about 30 minutes of the movie Harvey fell asleep leaned against Roxy, Slater was mesmerized by the main character's love interest, Molly was slumped onto Roxy's other shoulder, Roxy was happily munching on snacks, and Amira- well I look down at her. She was leaned against my shoulder breathing slowly from this sight she looked so much prettier than when she was angry. 

Her thick glasses always covered her eyes and her eyebags were undoubtedly there and very dark, I wonder if she has a hard time sleeping. She snuggled closer making me flinch, my face feels hot. After the movie ended, my mind was completely stuck on the fact that Amira was snuggled up to my side, which made my whole body hot. I sigh looking around noticing everyone else had already fallen asleep, I was only joking about staying the night but everyone's already crashed out. 

"Amira... Where are you, Amira?" I heard Roxy say, she was still laying down and her eyes were closed, is she sleep talking? She sat up and turned around "Amira? Are you okay?" her eyes were open now but looked glossed over. I smile at her "Hey Roxy, she's asleep let's wait till morning" she stood up and walked over to Amira grabbing her hand "I promise I won't do it again, ill do anything" Roxy says, did she even hear me? Tears began streaming down her face "Why did you touch me like that?" What is she talking about? Roxy cried into Amira's lap "Mommy don't let him touch me, you said you'd protect me" I reach my hand out to try to comfort Roxy but Amira stopped my hand. She whispers to me "Let me deal with this" the small action made me shiver, her voice is addicting no matter how much I deny it. Amira pats Roxy's head "It's ok, no need to cry, let's go back to bed" she helps Roxy who was mumbling nonsense to her feet, and lays her back in the spot between Harvey and Molly. She hushed her a couple of times before the small mumbles stopped and Roxy's eyes had resealed letting us know she was back to sleep. Amira sighed running her hands through her messy hair "Don't tell anyone about this" she says sternly.

She gets up to go to the kitchen and I follow closely behind "Did she have a nightmare?" I asked, Amira, sighed again "No, she sleepwalks. Im not sure if she's even aware of it" I nod in understanding. Amira leaned on the counter "What did she say?" I lean on the counter in front of her "She said something like she'll never do it again and mommy dont let him touch me" Amira flinched. She looked down at her feet "Her mom knows?" she mumbled, Im was not sure what's going on but Amira looks absolutely horrified.

Amiras went quiet, what do I say? "Um... she also called out for you," I tell her, she looked up at me and looked a little more relieved. She turned to splash water in her face from the sink "I didn't know I wasn't supposed to touch her, Im sorry" she turned around to look at me. The water dripped from her long eyelashes, I want to touch them "No, I just didn't want you to scare her, don't apologize" then she walks back to where everyone was sleeping without another word. Why is she so distant?

I groan when the early morning sun danced in my face "Hey, Amira" I heard someone whisper, I look up at my friend's very excited face. Roxy smiled "I thought I should wake you up before everyone saw" I sit up, what is she talking about? I heard a groan from under me and immediately I jumped off the idiot I had been sleeping on top of, why is Christopher acting as my bed? Last night I definitely remember sleeping on the other side of the love sack and he was facing away from me "How cute" Roxy says. I push her face away from mine "Shut up, go away" I whispered back and quietly getting up to go to the kitchen where I could smell Molly making breakfast. I walk in and saw her flipping pancakes and pouring cups of hot chocolate, she smiled at me "Hey, Amira.. how was your night?" she saw it too. I groan and flick her forehead "Shut up, it wasn't my doing" she makes a pouty face rubbing her forehead "Why did you have to use violence?" I roll my eyes picking up a warm mug. Roxy comes waltzing in with a half-asleep Harvey "Hey guys!" she says sitting Harvey at a bar stole. 

Molly smiles "Hey Roxy, good morning Harvey, hot chocolate?" she says placing a mug in front of him "Yes, thank you," he says taking a sip. Roxy smiles patting his head, Molly giggles placing pancakes in front of them and handing me a plate "and Amiras with banana" I smile happily. I sit next to Roxy as she scrunched her nose at my food "Gross, I hate bananas" I wave my pancake in her face "You just don't like anything good for you" she gasped. Harvey began to giggle "I do too!" I take a sip of my hot chocolate ignoring her complaints. I heard a sleepy "Hey guys, how's it going?" behind me, I turn around to see Slater and Christopher tiredly walking into the kitchen. 

Christopher takes a seat next to me and Slater on the other side of Harvey "Here some black coffee, Chris" Molly says smiling at him, his taste in warm drinks is terrible. He smiles back at her "Thank you, can I have a pancake with banana?" I flinch and look up at him "Yeah, sure. Thats Amira's favorite too" she says handing Slater food. Christopher looks down at me "I guess we do have something in common" his messy hair is almost covering his eyes. I groan looking away from him shoving pancake in my mouth "Hey! Let's go to the drive-in next weekend!" Molly giggles "Sounds like fun, I'll join" she looks at me with a scary look. I sigh "Yeah, sure," I say rolling my eyes "Harvey can come too!" Roxy cheers and if Harvey comes that means Slater and Christopher will have to tag along. Molly smiles "Chris and Slater are coming too then" I want to throw my glass plate at Roxy so much right now "Sure, sounds fun," Christopher says with his stupid smile and tired morning voice. How did it turn out like this?
