Matix

The test

I wake up the next morning bright and early. Today I've got to do a some kind of test. They are supposed take my blood and try to somehow connect it to Matix.
Geoff knocks on the door after I get dressed in a stripped sweater and black leggings and put my hair up in a messy bun. "May I come in Parry." He says in a raspy voice. "You may." I say trying to match his raspy tone. He comes in and sits on my bed. " Today we are going to try to bring Matix to life or just to where we can see him." My eyes widen " I'll get to have real friend!". I almost scream with excitement. I then frown. "If he is going to be real will I have to go back home?" I hate it back home, nobody liked me and I don't remember my parents. "Not if you don't want to sweetie, you can stay right here with us." Geoff says while pulling me in for a hug. I smile and say "Thanks Geoff." He nods and takes me hand. "We have to go to testing now honey." He said a bit stern. I nod and he take me into a weird room. He puts his hands on my face and says " Paris I don't want you to be scared I know you are afraid of needles but we are going to have to take your blood. I will be right in the other room so don't freak out." "Ok.". I say scared. I rub my arm and I sit in the chair. "Hi Paris, I'm going to do the experiment. My name is Dr. Uriah. " A dark haired woman exclaimed. She comes forth and waves. I ease a bit. I smile at her. She seems very nice and I think she is really pretty. Maybe she could be my friend too. I blush with excitement with just the thought.

"I'm sorry I know you don't like shots but your gonna have to be brave for me ok, sweetheart." She says as she gets the needle ready. I shriek. " I know I'm really sorry it will be quick I promise, just think about happy things and it shouldn't hurt a whole lot." She sounded concerned for me. Dr.Uriah wraps my arm with a rubber band and my arm begins to feel numb. A tear goes down my cheek in fear. I close my eyes. I feel the needle go in and it hurts. Probably because I clenched my muscles. "Relax, pumpkin we are almost done." I hear Dr.Uriah say trying to calm me down. After about 30 seconds I feel the needle come out. I breath out heavily and open my eyes. "Ok Paris, sorry I had to do that." She says soothingly. I nod sniffing a bit. She packs everything up and takes the 3 tube of my blood out into another room. I start to get up but I fall instantly because I'm light headed. Geoff opens the door and quickly helps me up. "It's ok she just took a good bit of blood and you're a bit weak. I'll bring you back to your room and I'll bring you some juice and an a snack." He says informingly. I nod and gasp from the pressure. I'm weak and feel a bit limp and Geoff opens the door to my room. I pull off and head towards my bed. I'm so happy I get to lay down but my vision is blurring. I try to grab for my bed but fall again on the ground. I just give up and lay there for a bit. Geoff walks in and chuckles. "I guess you didn't make it, huh?". I give him the stink eye and he laughs again. He helps me up on my bed and gives me apple juice and peanut butter crackers. "Thanks." I seen to gasp from still trying to regain some strength.
He turns on the tv and we both sit in the bed. He hands me the clicker and I turn on my favorite movie "Star wars". We watch for a while and I sip on my juice and nibble on my crackers. I become tired from all the blood loss and fall asleep on Geoff. I feel him get up and leave. I make myself comfortable and eventually fall asleep for awhile.

3 hours later

I yawn and scratch my hair. "I need a shower." I think to myself. I get up and stretch. I feel better and I don't feel light headed anymore. I walk over to the bathroom and close the door. I take my clothes off and take my bun out and I jump in the shower.

(Geoff's pov)
"Oh she is going to be estatic." I say thinking about how happy Paris will be. "Well we and not allowed to relate the information to her until we clarify the expirement." Dr.Uriah sighs. "We are still doing some touch ups to Matix and to make sure he is actually human and can still communicate telepathically with Paris. This will still take a few days, also ask Paris how she would imagine a boy her age so we can perfect him to her likings." She says informingly. "Gotcha I'll go ask now." I say excitedly.
I walk into Paris ' s room with out knocking and I scare her by accident. She jumps and then punches my arm. I laugh and she puts her hair in a towel hat. I guess she just took a shower. I ask her "how would you Imagen a boy your age, Parry?". I take out a note pad to gather information and then I'll take it to Dr.Uriah. " Umm well, he would have shaggy brownish blond hair with beautiful green eyes. And a good sense of humor but also very passionate. Plus he would be a little taller than me and dresses decently." She says dreamily. "Alrighty then I was just wondering." I say as I start to walk out.

I give the details to Uriah and she thanks me. "Remember don't tell Paris because I want it to be a suprise and he still isn't ready yet." I nod and run my fingers through my hair. I sigh of exhaustion and head towards my office. I feel my shoulder and it is still a bit sore. I sit down and open a drawer. I pick up some pictures of Paris and I. I look at them and sigh. I'm glad she wants to stay with us. But she is growing fast. I wonder if she feels like I'm the only thing close to a parent she has. I'll have to ask if she wants a woman to help take care of her too. I start to tear up from all the memories we've had. I remember when I first met her. She was so scared of me and she was so shy and kept everything to herself. But then when she was 10 she asked me one day if she could call me Uncle Geoff. I was so happy that day. I sigh and get ready for bed. I change into basketball shorts and a shirt Paris bought me. I lay in bed and just think for awhile. Well I'll do something with her tomorrow. I toss and turn and then finally fall asleep.
