"Liyah, Come Down The Stairs Or We Will Be Late!" My Aunt Yelled To My Mother. They Were Going To Karoake Night At The Bar Down The Street. I Wanted To Stay Home And Watch My Little Brother, Kameron. He Is What Most People Call Different; He Has 2 Diseases: Autism (Which Makes Him Hear Everything Louder Than It Is), And Bipolar Disorder (Which Makes Him Depressed). I Want To Be There For Him Every Minute I Can.
"Alright Alright, I'm Coming!" My Mother Said As She Strutted Down The Stairs With One Heel On And The Other In Hand. She Was Stunningly Beautiful. Her Brown Hair Glistened In The Bun It Was Placed In. Her Silver Slinky Dress Was Glowing In The Light As It Hung Just Below Her Butt. Her Silver Heels Rose 6in. Above The Ground.
"You Look Beautiful Mom!" I Gushed At Her As She Made It To The Bottom Step. My Aunt Had On A Gucci Dress With Chanel 5 Perfume. She Had On Gucci Heels That Rose 5in. Above The Floor.
"Why Thank You Hun. Now, Emergency Numbers Are On The Refrigerator, Food Is Placed In Containers In The Refrigerator. Money Is On The Counter If You Wanna Order Pizza." She Went On As She Fumbled In The Closet For Her Jacket.
"I Know Mom, I'm 16 Not 9." I Rolled My Eyes And Looked Around The Living Room. To Be Average, My Mom Could Throw Down At Rummage Sales. Our Living Room Looked Like It Came Straight Out Of A Catalog. A Beige Sectional Couch Cornered Around The Entertainment Center Which Met A Brown Recliner. Our Table Sat In Front Of The Couch And Had Magazines Of All Kinds In Order Of Date It Was Published. We Had A Computer Desk In The Corner With A Dell Desktop Computer.
"I Know How Old You Are Gizelle, But You Can Never Come Across Too Cautious."
"Yea But You Can Come Across As Too Protective." Just Then Kameron Walked In With His Hands Cupped To His Ears.
"Mommy, Can We Go To The Game Store Tomorrow And Get Me A New Game?" Kameron Asked As He Hugged Her.
"Sure, After You Get From School We Can Go Get It." She Gave In.
"Have Fun Mommy." He Said And Walked To The Couch And Watched Us. I Truly Love This Boy. He Is So Sweet And Sometimes I Ask Myself 'Why Him, And Not Me'. My Mom Said The Last Of Her GoodByes And Walked Out The Door With My Aunt.
"So Kam, I Guess Its You And Me Again, Wanna Watch Diego?" I Asked Him. Diego Was His Favorite Cartoon. He Nodded His Head And I Grabbed It Off The Shelf And Inserted It Into The DVD. We Positioned Ourself On The Couch And Watched The Previews.
I Started To Get Hungry So I Looked In The Fridge. Nothing. I Sighed And Grabbed The Phone And Dialed Pizza Hut.
"Hello, Welcome To Pizza Hut. May I Interest You In Our $10 Take Out Pan Pizza Special?" The Cashier Asked.
"No Thank You. I Would Like To Order A Large Pepperoni Pizza With Cinnamon Sticks And 2 Medium Coca Colas" I Ordered.
"Will That Be Picked Up Or Delivered, Maam?"
"Delivered To 1435 East Georgia Avenue."
"Okay, That Will Be $11.35 And Your Food Will Be On The Way. Thank You For Choosing Pizza Hut."
I Hung Up The Phone And Walked Back Into The Living Room But Kam Wasn't In There. He Might Have Went To The Bathroom. I Went Up To My Room And Grabbed My Laptop And Peeked Into Kam's Room. He Was Picking Up His Favorite Buzz LightYear Toy. He Met Me Down The Stairs And We Continued Watching Diego.
After A While, Our Pizza Was Delivered At The Door And Kam Grabbed It While I Paid. We Ate A Couple Of Slices And Saved Some For Mom. I Played Solitaire On My Laptop And Had The Urge To Use The Bathroom. I Went Up To Pee, And Heard A Noise So I Rushed And Came Back Down And Kam Was Gone.
The Window Was Broken, The Place Was Trashed And I Seen A Note.
It Read:
--'Know Your Limits!'.--
The Whole Time I Was Thinking, What Could That Possibly Mean? I Ran And Grabbed The House Phone And Dialed Mom As Quickly As I Could.
"Hello?" She Asked.
"Mom....Kam Is --" I Felt A Heavy Hand On My Shoulder And Soon I Blacked Out. The Last Thing I Heard Was My Mom Through The Phone.
"Zelle, Kam Is What?? Is Everything All Right? I'm Coming Home!"
