"Wow sissy! You really met him!" Alex yelled when I showed him the picture of myself with Kane.
I nodded, "Well yeah I did. I was his nurse for today."
"That's so cool Leah! So are you guys friends now? Can you invite him over? Will he help me meet the Undertaker?"
I giggled at his excitement, "Uh I'm not sure about all that Alex, but I do know that he was a real nice guy."
"Nice? Kane was nice to you?" he asked.
"Sure, I mean I did help him with his hand today." I told him.
He nodded, "True, well if you ever meet him again, tell him to get your number."
I laughed, "Alex!"
"What? It would be nice to have another guy around I can talk to."
I glared at him through the rearview mirror, "You can talk to me!"
He laughed, "Yea but not about boy stuff..."
I shook my head, "If I didn't know any better, I think you want your sister to date someone."
He nodded with a big smile, "Yes...you need some fun sissy. I always take you away from your fun."
That made my heart sink. Sure I had been frustrated with no having much of a life but seeing his smiling face everyday had been worth it. He was well fed, had a place to sleep, and overall pretty happy aside from the nightmares. "Awe sweetie, don't say that. I have plenty of fun with you."
He sighed, "You're only saying that because you don't want to hurt my feelings. I know you want to have fun like Maven."
I cringed at hearing our older brother's name. Man if I ever saw him again I was going to do more than give him a piece of my mind.
"You're right I do, but taking care of you is enough for me right now...ok?" I said.
He nodded, "Ok...can we get some ice cream?"
I smiled at him, "You bet."
The entire time up until the day of the drawing, I thought about Alex's words. I never once thought he noticed this stuff about me, and it really tore me apart that I couldn't do a thing to cheer him up. He was hurting as much as I was...and that alone was enough to make me want to kill Maven.
The night of the drawing, I got dressed in my favorite pajamas, light blue pajama shorts, and a white tank top. I slid my feet into some white bunny slippers and brushed my coco colored hair. I then rubbed lotion on my skin, smoothing out its Carmel tone.
"Come on Leah! It's about to start!" Alex yelled from downstairs.
"Hold on a second sweetie, I've got to wash my face real quick."
He sighed, "You already look pretty so come on!"
I laughed and shook my head as I stepped out of the bathroom and headed downstairs, "I'm coming."
I heard his footsteps as he dashed into the living room and hopped on the couch. He was so thrilled about this contest and it really warmed my heart to see him like that.
"I bet the drawing isn't until the end of the show," I said when the show popped up on the screen.
He smiled, "Yea but I want you to watch the whole show with me sissy."
"Alright then," I said.
Once again Vince McMahon was the very first one out to the ring. I giggled at how he walked down and got into the ring looking slightly furious about something.
