*later that night*
"Can you please just consider the idea of coming out even if its just for a second?"
Casey would not shut up.
He and Ashton had been sitting outside my door for 20 minutes trying to get me to come out of my safe place.
"No. I have no intention of being murdered today." I replied. "I'm too young to die."
"He's calmed down!" Case yelled at me through the door.
James had yelled at me for a solid 15 mins after I ran off. It was a new record for him and I wasn't sure if he would just 'calm down.'
"PLEASE MI!"
Ashton was begging. I pictured him on his knees in front of my door and smirked despite of myself.
"Are you sure he's calm?" I asked warily.
"CERTAIN!" They said at exactly the same time. Those two could be twins or something.
(Oh geez did I just make that joke?)
"Fine. I'm coming." I said.
"Finally!" Ashton said. "News is on in 30 mins. I suggest you get your but downstairs in time for that."
Sighing I peeled myself from my bed and made my way to my mirror. My eyes, red and puffy from crying stared at me. I pulled my hair out of my face and up into a bun and slipped out of my crumpled skirt and blouse and into my comfy PJs. Then I took a deep breath and nervously walked over to the door and pulled it open.
James was waiting for me.
I yelped and tried to close the door but he stuck his foot in the gap and jammed it open. "I'm sorry I yelled at you." He said.
His voice was soft and I relaxed.
"Why the hell are you sorry?" I exclaimed yanking the door open. "You have the right to be mad at me. I'm the reason you broke up with Jasmine."
He grinned at me.
"We didn't break up."
"What? How...?" I asked.
"Jasmine has a little hormone filled sister too. She understands Mi. You just gave her a surprise."
I looked at my feet.
"So I'm not a total freak?" I asked the carpet.
"Not even close." James replied and pulled me into a hug. After a while he pulled back and kissed me lightly on the forehead. A rare sight from an older brother. "I think Mum's making popcorn for the 7 o'clock news. We should go down."
I nodded, relived that my brother still loved me and I hadn't ruined his relationship with a girlfriend that actually seemed decent.

We walked downstairs and into the living room. Mum had fine all out . Drink, lollies, chips, even a cheeseboard was set out on the coffee table. Grabbing a handful of snakes I plonked onto the couch in-between Case and Ash. If I wasn't best friends with Cam, then I would be with the twins. All of a sudden the ABC channel news theme song began to play and everyone leaned forward in anticipation. We watched as the hosts talked about fires, floods and speeding problems before finally my face appeared on screen with the caption 'Teen Saviour'. Mum squealed and Ash squeezed my hand. "Mia Sanders was on a boxing day shopping trip with her best friend Cameron Walker." The first news presenter said.
"When she encounterd 16 year old Jason Rider on the floor in obvious pain. With the help of paramedic Kylie James she was able to clear his airway and save his life. Vanessa interviewed her earlier."
The interview played.
I was relieved to see that I didn't make a fool of myself and answered the questions well. At the time I barely had time to think so I was glad I didn't say something stupid.
I looked around at my family. Mum was crying, Dad and James looked incredibly proud and Ash and Case were grinning like lunatics. When the interview Mum switched to the next channel and let out a sob when my face appeared on screen. I rolled my eyes, grabbed a handful of honey soy chicken chips and walked into the kitchen. Perched on a bar stool I munched my way through my chips.
"MI YOU LOOK EVEN BETTER IN THIS ONE!" Mum shouts from the living room.
I flinch. "Sorry about that Brisbane. She doesn't know how loud she is." I mutter under my breath.
After my chips are gone I look around the kitchen, bored out of my mind. Then I spot James' space grey iPhone 6 on the marble bench. No case. Completely obliterated screen. This was my chance to make things right.
I slid over, picked it up, turned it on and unlocked it. Note to self - James' code = 2222. Real creative mate.
It only took me two seconds to find what I wanted.
Contacts - Jasmine Kados
Perfect.
