Raising Sailor

The swings

(Hey! Don't be a silent reader! Comment your thoughts! :) )

Saturday 12:00am

I woke up to the sun shining through the crack in my curtains.
Shining onto my face.
I heard talking coming from downstairs.
What time is it?

I walk downstairs to see everyone up.
That was very rare.
Cameron was even dressed.

"Why are you all up so early?" I asked visibly confused.
Waking up early was very unusual for my brothers.

Austin laughed, "we are not up early you slept in, it's twelve o clock!"
"Oh, how?"
"Well you were up very late last night!"
"Oh yeah, are you going to collect Ace today?"
"Cameron is going to now!"
"Wait, can we still go to the carnival?" I asked.
I hope we could. I couldn't stop thinking about it!
"Yeah, hopefully!" Austin replied.

That was better then a "we'll see" !
As that nearly always meant no.

Nearly a half an hour later Cameron and Ace came back.
Ace looked better then he did yesterday.

Ace and Cameron we're talking about something I couldn't quiet make out, but they were both laughing, looks like they had both gotten over yesterday.
Now that I thought of it I had never seen Ace laugh, let alone smile.
I thought now might be a good time to ask can we go to the carnival.

"Cameron!" I shout running up to him.
"Hey Sailor!"
"Can we go to the carnival today?"
"Uh..I don't know, does everyone else want to go?"
"They do! I think....please, please pleaseee can we go? Look Ace wants to go, don't you?"
But I wasn't really sure if he did..
"Sailor, he doesn't have to go if he doesn't want to, he probably needs to rest!"
"No it's fine, I do!"
"See? He does! I'll ask Levi!" I say excitedly running upstairs screaming Levi's name.

I burst into his room.

"Sailor! You nearly gave me a heart attack!"
"Sorry! But do you want to go to the carnival today?" I asked out of breath from running up here.
"Sure"
"Ok! Bye!" I shout running back downstairs.

"Austin!" I shout now panting for air.
"Jesus Sailor, did you just run a marathon? Why are you so out of breath!"
"No I didn't run a marathon, I don't know what that is, BUT, Do you want to go to the carnival?"
"Yeah, sure!"
"What about you Hayden?" .
Hayden was sitting beside Austin on the sofa.
"Yeah of course!" He replied.

Yes!
That's all I needed.

"Cameron! Cameron! Everyone wants to go! Can we go?"
"Yeah, just get dressed!"
"Okay! I will!"

I quickly got changed into the clothes Hayden helped me pick out.
It was grey tracksuit bottoms with a white t-shirt that had a rainbow on it!
Cameron then done my hair in two pigtails, my favourite hairstyle!

Then I was ready!
Finally!

Soon everyone was ready.
I was so excited!

The carnival wasn't too far from our house.
It was a pop up that had just came a few weeks ago.
It's a huge carnival, it comes here every year, nearly everyone in our town goes.
Usually Levi, Hayden and Austin would go and leave me with Cameron, they said I was too young to go!
Buy finally I could come with them!

When we arrived there were huge rides.
Ones that went up in the air, spun around, ones that even went upside down.
There was flashing lights, sounds of cheering and screaming and loud siren noises.
"Is the police here?" I asked, as there was loud siren noise that went off every few minutes.
"No silly, that's to tell you the ride is starting!" Replied Levi.
"Oh!"
