A Special Witch

Chapter 20:

It was a long car ride. I fell asleep 5 times and woke up an hour after I fell asleep. I can’t sleep long because my stomach hurts so badly from starving but I didn’t say anything. No one did, but I bet theirs stomachs all hurt like mine. I stared out the window while Chris sleeps. It was nice out, the sunset is gorgeous, the colours I see are like in order of the rainbow, and truly it is. Near the sun it is red, and then it gets orange for a bit, then yellow, then a thin line of green, then blue, then violet, I could draw this out but why would I since I’m the worst artist ever. Brandt stirred a bit; I moved my legs off of him so he can get into a comfortable spot.

“When are we going to get there, Christophe? My ass is turning numb and I can’t move when Chris’s arms are around me,” I asked him.

“We should be there in about a hour can you wait that long?” Christophe said.

“Sure,” I leaned back so my head is resting on the window. This sure is the longest car ride ever.

***

I woke up to Elena pushing me saying, “wake up, Chris, we’re here”

I opened my eyes to see Elena’s face so close to mine. She backs up a bit muttering, “Sorry.”

She reaches over, lightly shook Brandt with her foot still saying, “Wake up. Brandt wake up. Brandt we’re here. Wake up” he finally opened his eyes and muttering something like I’m awake or something close to that.

As we stopped to a big house with lot’s of windows, Elena started to jump in my lap like a child eager to open a gift on Christmas morning but can’t because she needs to wait for everyone to wake up. When Emily got out of the car, Elena was right behind her. A couple on the porch got up and the man ran to Elena and grabbed her into a bear hug. I got out of the car to see him smack a huge kiss on her lips, then let go of her and walk back to the girl. Elena walks to her too and gives her a hug. Jeremy comes around the car and lifts Elena off the ground and did the same thing the other man did but hold the kiss longer then I liked him too.

“Don’t worry Chris, she’s in love with you, I can see it. Jeremy will get over her,” Christophe said. Then four people ran out of the house and gave Elena a group hug. Now I see why she wanted to get out, she has no family true, but this is her family and home. Brandt came out of the car and I can hear his stomach growled from here.

“You guys must be starving! Come on in the house, we made a lot of food just in case you were hungry” a girl with black hair said.

“Thanks Christine” I heard Elena said. Elena came towards us and wrapped her arm around me.

“You’re going to like it here” she said looking up at me smiling.

We walked to the front door. Elena let go of me and headed into one of the halls. Jeez the house it huge I see seven corridors and staircase going up to the second floor. I stared in wonder, but I’m not the only one. Kayla and Brandt both had the same expression on their faces and I have the feeling that my facial expression is the same as theirs. I looked around, I see portraits of each of Elena’s friends, some by themselves, some with someone else, and some with the whole group. I walked up to one with Elena and Jeremy standing beside each other looking happy together. At the bottom of it there was a signature on it.

Christophe. R. Livingston. 2008. Two years ago and Christophe drew this. He is amazing artist.

“You like it?” Elena asked. I jumped not realizing she was there and how long I was looking at this picture.

“Yes, it’s very good. He should put some of his art in a gallery. “

“We try that already but he wont give in and put it in the gallery.”

I nodded.

“You hungry?”

“Yea, where’s the kitchen?”

“Follow me, everyone is already in there and I didn’t see you so I went searching for you. Big house, easily to get lost in” she started to go through the 2nd corridor. I follow her in to the kitchen. The table was set with so much food it unbelievable. I grabbed a seat beside Brandt and Elena. I ate so much food by the end; it feels like I never starved myself.

“Jeremy, did yea miss me?” Elena called to him.

“Like hell, my love” he smiled at her. She rolled her eyes.

“Did you miss me? Elena” he asked.

“Sure thing Jeremy” she said with a smirk on her face. He laughs.

“I’m not kidding Elena, Jeremy was going crazy” Emily said.

He laughs some more.He gets out of his chair and walks to Elena, goes down on one knee and pulls out a ring and says, “Elena Kaitlyn Icefall, would you marry me?”
