"It's been two days."
"Exactly Caleb. It's been two days. Give her some time."
"She's had time. We need to talk about what happened."
"Oh come on Caleb. Don't go bother her."
"No. She needs to tell me what happened and she's going to tell me now."

I listened by my door, hearing my brothers talk when Caleb started walking up the stairs. I run back into bed, pretending I was asleep.

"Ok Lilac. Get up." Caleb said, bursting into my room.

"What the hell Caleb! Get out."

"Watch your tone and your language. Now get out of bed."

"No."

"What did you just say?"

"I think you heard me but in case you didn't, I said no."

"Lilac Marie Swenson,-"

"Yes?" I asked, stepping out of bed.

"Lose the attitude. Now Lilac. Or-"

"Or what? You'll ground me? Go ahead. See if I care."

"Oh you'll care. Your grounded. One month."

"Oohh. Scary."

"Cut it out. We need to talk."

"About what Caleb? She slapped me. She's dead. That it. Now get out." I pushed him out and closed the door.

"Lilac you open this door!"

"No can do."

Caleb tried for a few more minutes before giving up.

I texted Sarah
