Part 2 9

Maddie (Hunter) POV

“Hunter you gotta get up, you’re going to be late for work!” I hear someone yell and I groan and push my face deeper into the pillow.

“Hunter get up”, I hear Mary-Margret say shaking me.

“I can’t go”, I groan.

“And why is that”, she says.

“I feel sick”, I say and cough and she laughs.

“Hunter, I let you move in with me you can’t laze around all the time”, she chuckles.

“I know I just feel weird”, I say sitting up and she sits down next to me.

“Like what?” she asks.

“ I don’t know, like you know that feeling when your forgetting something”, I say and she nods.

“It feels like that”, I tell her.

“Well maybe you are worried you will forget to meet Henry at Granny’s where you serve him a hot chocolate every morning!” she says and my eyes widen.

“Shit!” I curse and she scowls me.

I run and throw on a pair of jeans and shirt and grab my bag and run out of the door, I don’t bother driving I just sprint to Granny’s.

As I reach it I nearly fall over going through the door, and Ruby laughs at me.

“Slow down, Hunter”, she giggles.

“Did he get here”, I ask and she nods gesturing to Henry on the stool, reading something.

I grab my apron and put it on walking over to him.

“Hey kiddo”, I say making a hot chocolate, he looks up and smiles.

“Your late you know”, he says.

“Sorry, I felt a bit uh sick this morning”, I say getting the whip cream.

“Sick? What kind of sick?” he asks.

“Uh.. it’s like a forgetting sick, like I feel like I’m forgetting something. I thought it was not being here but I  still have it”, I say putting the chocolate bits on the cream and hand it to Henry.

“Hmmm”, he says flipping through the book.

“Henry what is that”, I ask him.

“It’s once upon a time, we have a lot of talking to do after school, meet me at the gates”, he says running out the door.
