When morning awoke, I awoke to the sight of a sleeping Robert with his arm around me. When I slithered out of his grasp, I gently shook Tori with my foot.
She groaned causing me to giggle, which slightly made Robert wake up. Gasp, the butterfly affect.
I step over Jerome and turn off the television, only to have someone roll over on the remote turning it on.
When Tori finally got up, we headed back home to the sight of poop. I sighed deeply and cleaned it up.
*Ring Ring*
"Tor~" "Im on it" She sighed heavily.
While she was on the phone, I cuddled the puppy on my bed. "Annie.."
"Yeah?" I said putting him down at the sight of Tori's distress.
"My brother is in the hospital, his condition is getting worse..."
When we were little, Tori, her brother William and I were close as little kids could get. William would tease me for my pigtails but acted like an older brother to me. One day my family had to move a town over and Willy didn't want to lose me so he proposed that when we were older we could play house with me being the mommy and him the daddy but of course Tori as the sister.
Half way through 5th grade I moved back into town; William had already made a new best friend name Jayme. The next day i pushed her down in the wood chips and she didn't go near William again, I know I was a dick! Finally telling him what happened, William collapsed and was taken to the hospital,where he was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and hasn't got better since.
"Tori we'll head down once we find a sitter for 'Assbutt'"
She nodded having a war with her tears.
I'll call Robert..
"Hey Hu-Robert its Anni, Sh*t hit the fan and we are leaving in a couple hours for Georgia, find someone to watch Assbutt. please!" I said to his answering machine and we started to pack.

On the trip down, tori was getting antsy every second. I'm not fully sure what to do..
As the train was slowly fading into darkness, I turned on some music and put headphones on tori. Hopefully it calms her down.. Watching her furiously type on her phone she slowly calmed down and fell asleep.
Poor tori
About a hour in my phone started to make a low buzzing sound as Tori repositioned her head on my shoulder.
"Heyo" I say in a hushed tone.
