Two days after I found out that I'm in love with a wizard.
I woke up leaning against Sissy's shoulder.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" She asked. My throat was sore from the other night and my eyes were irritated. I shurrged my shoulders. "Well, we're almost at the motel. We can rest, eat, change, and whatever else." I nodded. "Hey, he'll be okay." I nodded again.
"We're here." Erin said. She cut the engine and climbed out. "Kathy get the bags."
"Okay." She got the bags from the back of the hummer. But when she came back she had one bag.
"What about the other bags?" My voice sounded like a croak.
"There in here." Kathy said pating the bag. I was confused but shurgged it off. Erin talked to the man in the lobby while we waited.
"Okay guys, let's go." She said. She handed a key to Sissy. "Gabriella, you and Sissy will share a room and me and Kathy will have the other." Sissy linked her arm through mine. We walked to the rooms. Kathy pulled out mine and Sissy's bag out of her's.
"Sissy, how did she do that?" I asked when we were in our room.
"Magic." Sissy said. "She put a spell on the inside of the bag. It can carry anything she wants without getting any heavier." She explained. She put her bag on the couch and fell in a chair. "You can shower first if you want." I nodded and carried my bag to the bathroom. The shower was warm and comforting. It was weird. I stayed in the shower for about an hour, which was completely unlike me. My brush pulled through my hair. I brushed my teeth and washed my face. I throw my bag into one of the rooms. Sissy was in the bathroom for half an hour. I felt stupid for being in there three times as long.
"Did anyone call me?" I asked when she came out of the bathroom.
"No but if you want to call someone you can." She said. She was dryed her hair with a towel. I thought for a minute. "Oliver probably isn't driving right now. They were suppose to switch every few hours so that no one gets too tired. I grabbed my phone off the table and went to my room.
"I'll be right back." I told Sissy. It was seven in the morning. Hillary would still be home. I dialed her number and waited. Three rings later Hillary answered.
"Hello?"
"Hill?" I said.
"Ella?" She said. "When did you leave? I found you note this morning around six thirty."
"I left five minutes before. Autumn picked me up. She has to leave earlier so she's not late for school." I explained. "I'm sorry I didn't ask you."
"It's okay. I know you're safe so it's fine." She said. I could here June in the background playing with Tyler. "When are you coming home?"
"Um, hang on I have to ask Autumn something." I covered the phone and opened the door. "Can you sound like Autumn?" I whispered to Sissy. She nodded. She put her hand to her throat and for a second then motioned for me to talk. "Hey, Autumn, how long do you think I'll stay here?"
"Oh about three days maybe four." Sissy sounded just like Autumn. "Not real long."
"Okay. Hill?" I was still shocked.
"I heard her. Just don't over stay your welcome and don't break any rules." She said.
"Of course not." I said. "I have to go. Back to studying."
"Oh, okay. Love you."
"Love you too. Bye." I hung up the phone. "Thanks Sissy."
"No problem." She said in her normal voice. "Calling Oliver next?"
