The Home of Amarilla

Chapter 1: Our Home

!Shylee! Shylee,Shylee,Shylee,Shylee despiertaaaa!" Braylee screamed at the top of her lungs in hopes of waking up her sister.

"I will be up in a minute Lee-Lee" Shylee says groggily as she fell further and further back into a deep sleep.

"Shylee I need you!" Braylee's Hazel eyes are filled with joy as she screams for her sister outside the large white door.

"Okay, okay Lee-Lee I am awake" Shylo slowly creeps out of bed with her eyes red and halfway closed. As she walked to the bathroom to freshen up she stumbles over the common mess of clothes, shoes, toys, food wrappers, and baby food stains.

Shylo approaches her bathroom mirror. "Okay Shylo, today is going to be a great day!" She tells herself in the least convincing way possible with a half-smile and strained voice.

Shylo reaches for her half-empty toothpaste tube and almost empty face wash and does a quick half done morning routine knowing her sister will be back looking for her at any minute.

Shylo hears a small subtle knock on the door made by tiny toddler hands. "Shylee." Braylee says in a whisper. "I am coming Braylee" Shylo says as she opens the door to see her beautiful hazel-eyed sister looking at her with a joyous smile.

"Oh Shylee I missed you when I was sleeping it was almost like I could see you there while I was asleep!" says Braylee.

"It is called dreaming chiquitita, I dream of you always." Shylo says while rubbing Braylee's curly light brown locs.

 
Shylo begins to walk into the kitchen with Braylee not to far behind.

 
"Sit down at the table Lee-Lee I am going to make you some breakfast" Shylo says with a little bit of strain in her voice.
Braylee happily sits down at the table with nothing but a smile awaiting her sister to make breakfast.

Shylo turns on this boxy hello kitty tv that she picked up from Goodwill to play cartoons for Braylee as she cooks breakfast.

*Shylo breathes heavily as she prepares to open the pantry*
The pantry is almost empty with nothing but dust, webs, dead bugs, and a few cans of  refried beans.

Shylo grabs a can of beans and places it on the counter.
She looks into the refrigerator just to find a familiar kind of emptiness that was displayed in the pantry. She discovers a small carton of eggs with two good eggs and four very bad ones. She also grabs the two tortillas she sees in a bag on the very bottom of the refrigerator next to a very large stain from something that was possibly there a few months ago.

 She looks up at her happy smiling sister Braylee and asks:
"How about Huevos Rancheros chiquitita?"
Braylee smiles with a huge grin and says "YAYY! Hoovos Rancheerios!"

Shylo laughs and says with a soft chuckle in her voice: "It's Huevos Rancheros not Hoovos Rancheerios although your way sounds way better" She begins to turn on the stove and prepare the meal.

 
As she has completed the cooking and clean up Shylo heads over to the table with Braylee.
"Here Braylee here is your breakfast." Shylo hands Braylee a plate with  two tortillas topped with refried beans and two eggs and a green ninja turtles fork.

"Tank you Shylee" Braylee says as she begins to eat her meal with speed.
"Slow down Lee-Lee , you don't want to eat to fast." Braylee looks at her with a smile then it quickly changes to a face of slight concern.

"Shylee, why do you never eat breakfast with me?" She says with a childlike curiosity.
" Because Lee-Lee, I'd rather watch you eat. I love to watch everything you do you are amazing and don't ever think otherwise." 

Shylo said this with a smile and she truly meant it however she knew Braylee couldn't know the truth quite yet. Shylo never ate with Braylee because there was never enough for the both of them only one could eat.

 
Braylee continued to eat until her plate was licked clean.
"I am done Shylee! I am sooooo full!" says Braylee
"Good, now let's get you cleaned up Lee-Lee. Vamos!" Shylee and Braylee get up from the table and head to Braylee's room to get ready for the day.
