Sisters

I slowly wake up and for a moment I don't know where I am. I look down to see that I'm holding Ben's hand, his head is resting on my legs like there pillows. I see that I have a floofy blanket over me that means that I didn't dream Ben give me the blanket last night. Avery comes running into the room singing and dancing, I quickly pull away my hand from Ben's as he starts walking up.

Avery- "GOOD MORNING! Dad told me you two were here."

"Good morning. You guys hungry? I could make us something, I'm really good at baking."

Avery- "No thanks Ren I'm still recovering from when you get fire to ginger cake."

"HEY! That was not my fault I was 11 and it was the first time I cooked something."

We both start laughing, I catch Ben smiling.

"What?"

Ben- " Your mum did the same thing, so did my dad but not with ginger cake."

We all take a moment to laugh again.

"So breakfast yes or no?"

Avery- " Yes but not made by you."

"Ouch! What about you Ben? hungry?"

Ben- "No I'm good thank you. I have to the errrr, the thing to clean up all the things."

Ben does a quick side eye at Averys. Ohhh he mean go to the bunker to clean up the training room. I'm so glad he isn't making me do it.

"Ok I can make you something and save it for when you get back if you want."

Ben- "I like that thank you."

Ben heads out the door as me and Avery make our way to the kitchen. I go to grab out a mixing boll but then I see a  bright white light.

Pancake in the pan set alight, the fire spreads fast. Before we could stop it the whole kitchen is covered in flames.

I place the mixing boll back into the cupboard and grab two slices of bread.

"Maybe you were right. I think I'll just have toast today.

Avery- "I didn't mean to scare you into not cooking."

"You didn't........I just don't have any bananas and I can't make banana pancakes with out them."

After breakfast we go into Averys room to watch a movie she puts a super hero movie on, with that video of me still going around this feels a bit wrong to watch. People are calling me a hero when I'm not one I just couldn't watch a child get hurt.

Averys- " Remember when we use to play super hero's. I would be the hero, you would be the villain and Henry would be the person we would fight over."

"I remember one time when Henry wanted to the the hero and we said he couldn't be so he put his cat in a tree so he could save it and show us how much of a hero he was."

Avery- "Oh yeah. When he tried to save his cat he ended up getting stuck in the tree and the fire brigade had to come and save him."

We start laughing uncontrollably. I don't remember the last time I felt like this, I've missed this. I've missed Avery we were like sister I wish we could be like that again.

Avery- "Do you remember when we wanted to be sister so badly, so we told everyone that we secretly were but my dad can't know about it.

" We were so sweet back then. I always wished we were sister."

Avery- "Ren we are sisters! I mean come on your living with me. We love and hate each other sometime, isn't that what sister do?"

"I've never had a sister before........ well not as far as I remember."

Avery- "Now you do!................... There's something I want to tell you. I'm scared to cuz I've never told any one before so ummm yeahhh. I'm just going to tell you........ the second I think of how..... Wow this is really hard to say. I'm just going to say it........ I'm gay.

"Wow I had no idea... I mean what a shock!"

I start laughing. Avery looks at me so hurt.

"I'm sorry I couldn't keep a strait face saying that. I know your gay. I've know that you were gay since I first met you. I have amazing gay dar.  i mean just ask H..... Oh umm forget I said that he hasn't told me that he is gay yet."

Avery- "Are you talking about the person we both know VERY well?"

"You see it to! see I'm not wrong am I!"

we being to laugh before Avery smile and pulls me into a hug. I'm so happy she trust me enough to tell me I know it must of been hard for her to tell me.
