Security's Sister

Alone Time or So We Thought

That's Zoey, up top, played by Maggie Elizabeth Jones in the picture and yes she is from We Bought a Zoo.
----------------------------------------------
Keaton and I shut Zoey's door carefully and raced down the stairs excited to be alone again without any 3 year olds tagging along.
"If we watch any movies they have to be Disney, okay?" He continued, "just in case Zo wakes up." I nodded in comprehension, trying to hide my excitement. The Little Mermaid it is.

I grabbed the little mermaid and put it in. We both sat on the couch, which was very comfortable may I add. As it started Keaton asked "So why don't you talk? You know if it's something you wanna talk about." He seemed nervous, like really nervous.
I had sorta already typed up my reasons in my notes of my iPhone because I got really tired of explaining it every day. So I simply pulled my phone out, opened my notes and handed it to him.
While I waited I looked around their living room. There were pictures of Keaton and Zoey with their mom and what seems to be their dad and another girl who could be anyone along with another blonde haired boy. They look so happy together. That was what we looked like when Evan and Sherrie were still here. Now we have a mother and father who could barely get along for the sake of their child with step parents who don't even know each other.
I didn't write in my notes about her, it hurts too much. Sherrie left this world too early, it just wasn't her time, it couldn't have been. Tears started to race down my face.

"Oh my gosh Laura are you crying?" Why was he so surprised, I'm just a broken toy. I laughed slightly trying to play it off but he saw right through my mask.

"What's wrong?" He questioned.

I wrote on a piece of paper Zoey had left out about how I missed my brother and I wrote about Sherrie for the first time since, since you know.'When I saw the picture of you family on the wall it reminded me of when Evan was still here and when Sherrie was still alive, when we were a happy family.' my tears started to stain the paper, '"Who's Sherrie?"you might ask. Sherrie was my twin, my other half, when she died she took half of me with her. She was beautiful, yet they still bullied her. Though she was different they loved bullying her, they would push her out of her wheelchair or put the brakes on. One time they had the jock take her to the woods and dump her there,she was lucky I followed to make sure she was ok.' I handed him the paper this time breaking into a fit of sobs.

"Laura, how long has it been since you let your feelings show?" I hold up 2 fingers, "2 Days?" I shook my head no, "2 weeks?" I shook my head again, "2 months" I shook my head again in frustration, "Oh, Laura." He said sympathetically.

"Go on and kiss the girl" Sebastian the crab sang through the house.

Keaton grabbed the sides of my face, whipped the tears away and pulled me in for a long sweet kiss. It made me think of a good future one with Keaton, my parents, step parents, and Keaton's family. He started to pull away, but I wanted more.

"Laura I'm so sorry." he whispered.

I wrote down on Zoey's paper on the table "don't be, just kiss me"

He pulled me in again this time it was a French kiss, he tasted like fruit punch. He was so good and I didn't know what to do. My first kiss was a few minutes ago. I need to breathe but I won't knowing this will only be a few minutes. But it feels like ages.

"You better now?" He sounds so protective, God he is hot.

I nodded, as the doorbell rang 'DING DONG'. Keaton got up and walked down the hall to the front door.

"Hey, Sydney!" I heard Keaton say as he opened the front door. I thought he didn't have any friends here, maybe that's the guy or girl in the pictures.
"Hey Keat, what's new?" I heard a soft girl's voice ask. Must be the girl.
