ET The Extra Terrestrial

Losing it

Willows pov

It's been about two days since Elliot brought ET, their name for him, inside the house and I hadn't gone anywhere near him or the kids rooms.
  I woke up this morning feeling extremely sick.

There was a knock on my door ' Willow it's time for school.' Mike said.

I was about to open the door when I I felt a sick feeling making its way up my stomach.

I ran over to the trash can and threw up.

Mike came in and pulled my hair back.

' Are you ok Low.' He called me by nickname.

I shook my head and puked again while Mike went downstairs to get the thermometer.
He helped me back to bed and checked my temperature.

' One hundred and three, your staying home.' He said.

I jumped out of bed stumbling a little bit grabbed his hand.

I shook my head crying, not wanting to stay home with ET by my self.
They all knew I was terrified of him.

' I'm sorry kid, I can't stay home with you but you can't leave the house feeling like that, look I'll bring you up some snacks and water bottles in case you get hungry,
He can't touch you if you stay in her and lock the Doors.' Mike explained, tucking me back in bed.

I nodded still terrified of the idea of being left alone in the house alone with that thing, but nonetheless I stayed in bed and fell asleep.

I woke up a couple hours later by the dog barking.

I got up and opened the door, stepping out, to let her in when I saw him standing outside Elliot's door staring at me.
I freaked out and ran back in my room locking the door.

I hid under the sheets until I didn't hear anything and I opened the door back up, he was gone.

I was about to close Elliot's door and attempt to lock him in the room when I heard Harvey barking in the kitchen.
I snuck down stairs and hid outside the kitchen entrance and watched ET go through the fridge.

I opened moms jar of Guacamole dip and licked out of it.

' yech!' He grunted chucking it on the side.

He popped open a can of moms beer and chugged it down before going through five more cans of it.
He burped and started walking towards the counter and he ran into it. It took him a couple seconds to get back up and when he did he just ran into another counter and fell back.

He finally stood back up again but when he took the next step he completely fell face first into the floor.

I couldn't help but laugh, which isn't something I do often.

After about twenty minutes he got back up as the alcohol's effect had began to wear off and he went into the living room and managed to figure out how to turn on the tv.
I walked into the kitchen to clean up his mess and then went and sat in the recliner and watched him from a distance.

After screaming at the tv and reading the comic in the news paper he walked over to me.

I felt my heart stop for a moment when his fingers grazed my hand.

I felt so terrified, but I also felt his loneliness and his fear.
He reached forwards and pressed his index finger to my stomach and it began to glow red.

I was in too much shock to move or think about it...

The pain was gone. The pain in my stomach was gone I didn't feel nauseous or sick any more and I ran to grab the thermometer and my temperature went back to normal.
I turned and stared at him in complete confusion wonder, and shock.

He healed me.

I was in the middle of practice when I saw Willow sitting in the stands.
I got permission from the coach to go check on her.

' Willow.' I called running up to her, making her look up from her book ' what are you doing here you should be home in bed.'

She grabbed my hand and put it on her forehead.

' But don't you feel sick anymore.' I asked, and she shook her head.

' ET' she said.

I was about to ask her what that meant but coach called me back to the field.

After practice we grabbed a ride in in Ricky's car and went home.
We went up to Elliot's room and walked in to ET wearing a wig and princess dress costume, and makeup.

Willow giggled.

My brain was fried first willows sick feeling goes away instantly, second she actually says something for the first time since she was five, third ETs dressed like some fairytale charecter and now Willows giggling which she never does.

I am losing it.
