"So, you wanna stay over at ours?" Charlie asks, as we're lying on our backs in my back yard, drying off from being in the pool. Leo and Charlie bandaged my head, so I couldn't get it wet, but I still swam around.
"Sure, why not, let me dry off and grab my school things and I'll be round. Anything you want me to bring?"
"Whatever you want. Just try not to get lost again!" Leo teased me and I blushed, laughing at the memory.
"I won't." I wave before disappearing into my house. "Dad?" I yelled.
No answer. I called his mobile; its a big house, he might not have heard me.
No answer. Sighing, I wrote a note and pinned it to the wall next to the door, so it'd be impossible to miss.
I got all of my clothes I wanted into my bag and raided the cupboards for popcorn, chocolate, sweets and fizzy drinks.

"That's not how it goes!" Me and Charlie screamed at the film, throwing popcorn at the TV.
"He says it calmly you twats! He does not flip tables and terrify the living daylight out of dragons!" Leo yelled in response to Dumbledore's outburst of rage.
We laughed at each other and settled back to watch the film.
My phone starts buzzing and I go out to the kitchen to answer it.
"Hello?" I say quietly, not wanting to disturb anyone in the house or the two boys.
"Hey princess its your bro." I feel him smiling.
"Hey prince charming how's the witch holding up?!" I giggle. When I was younger, Alex made a game for when mum and dad were arguing. I was the princess; Alex was the prince; dad was the knight and mum was the witch.
"Could be dead for all I know. She won't answer any of my calls, skypes anything. I think she's trying to stay of the grid as much as possible." Alex sighs and I hear cheering in the background.
"You alright Em?" Leo calls, and I realise they've stopped the film.
"I shall have to go, my entertainers are waiting their princess!" I grin and Alex laughs.
"It shall soon be queen, princess, wait and see. Bye love you."
"Love you too." I hang up and go back to watch the rest of the film with the boys.
