Caroline Cross? nah, Caroline Ray

i don't know if i like this one

When we got home my dad lead me to my mom's work office, now it looked tacky and deteriorated from the fire, but..whoever cleaned the house after the fire did an alright job, I had to give it that.

"How would you like to sleep in mommy's office?" 

"I don't like mommy's office, I want to sleep in my room."

"Well..I know..but, hey..look what I got you. Sit down, and close your eyes.." 

I did as my dad asked, I liked surprises..they were fun, and made me feel better. I wanted to feel better so badly right now, a smile made its way to my face as I heard him set a box down and take something out of it.

"Okay, open." 

I opened my eyes and saw a doll that looked exactly how chucky did, was it him?? I missed him! So much! My mouth hung open in surprise, I kicked my feet and squealed in childish excitement, "chucky!"

I took the doll from my dad and hugged it, swinging the doll around in my arms as I spun in a happy little burst of energy. The doll didn't respond, I looked at it face to face, "I missed you.." 

"Hi, I'm Tommy, wanna play?" 

"Tommy..?" That stung, it wasn't chucky, I wanted chucky..but..I would make do with what I had, who cares about chucky anyways? He abandoned me, so he obviously wouldn't mind if I did the same and replaced him.

I watched Lexy come in and kneel down in front of me, "Hey Care..do you think Tommy would want to give me a hug?"

I reluctantly nodded and handed the doll over to her, she hugged it for a moment before slamming the doll on the floor and hitting it repeatedly, bludgeoning the plastic doll on the floor, I screamed and tried to grab Tommy away from her, so did my mom..and my dad.

I eventually grabbed Tommy and hugged him close more for my comfort then his, Lexy was scaring me, I watched her snap a picture of me before running out of the house, I looked between my mom and my dad, with concern written on my expression.

I didn't know where lexy went, nor did I care..I was playing with my new doll, he didn't talk much, and he didn't move. So..I didn't have nearly as much fun as with Tommy as I did with chucky..at least chucky knew how to play tag, and hide n seek, and various other games I liked..and he played along when we played pretend too. Tommy didn't..I miss chucky, I've said it 1,000 times and I'll say it again.

When it was time to go to bed, Tommy didn't tell me what all I had to do before bed..but I still did it, everything. "Goodnight Tommy." I said blankly before getting under the covers, making sure I got him under the covers too.

I was half asleep when I heard whispering, and then some thunder striking. I loved thunderstorms..sometimes they reminded me of myself, emotionally at least. "Chucky..?" I whispered weakly, I kept my eyes closed as I turned over to the 'tommy' doll in bed, and hugged onto him, snuggling him as I fell back asleep again.

"Goodnight Caroline." I heard his voice right before I fell entirely into sleep, and I smiled as i fell unconscious.
