RECAP
"Well, don't do it again, young man!" Mr. Odair said in a frim, frank voice. How much did I miss these voices? I would video call them every day.
"Fine!" Finnick laughed.
"Well, we gotta go now!" Daddy said. "We'll talk to you guys soon!"
"We love you!" We said in unison.
"We love you, too!" They said in unison.
"Bye!" I clicked the X in the corner to close the chat.
"Who was that?" Zoro walked into the room, more focused on the pudding cup he had in his hand than his older sister in the hospital bed.
END OF RECAP
I lend back, not saying a word. Let him figure out that I got to talk to Daddy before him. Let him put that in pudding cup and, well you know, eat it. Zoro has always looked up to Daddy, and he gets pissed if Daddy talks to me without talking to him as well or first. I'm just smiling in my hospital bed, which usually isn't normal for me in any case, looking at Austin, then Finnick, and then Zoro. Zoro just stares at me, trying to get into the mind of his older twin sister. It, kinda, worked.
"So, while I was gone, Zip,"-Zip is my nickname from him-"did you happen to get a call from Dad?" He kept glaring at me. I glared back, covering up my thoughts.
"Zop, Zop, Zop,"-We have weird nicknames-"you know me far to well." The blood from his face drained. I knew, if we weren't in a hospital already, he would put me in one. Well, at least try. He walked up to me and leaned down so close I could smell his breath. Ew. "Is there, like, garlic in there?" I pointed at the pudding cup.
"Zip, did you talk to Dad while I was gone or not?" His voice got angrier and angrier.
"Well," I started, "I did get to talk to 2nd Lt. Curtis and Officer Cadet Odair, but," I looked over at Austin and Finnick, using a sarcastic tone, "I cannot recall if I did talk to Daddy. Do you remember boys?"
They caught on to my plan quickly. "I don't recall," Austin spoke, stroking his "beard." "Do you, Mr. Odair?"
"Hmm," Finnick pondered. "I don't remember. What about you, Mrs. Lynn?"
"Yes!" Mom announced. "Your father was in the call!" I glared at her with Grandpa's eyes.
"Thanks for ratting us out, Mother."
"Anytime, dear. Anytime."
I know this is going to sound mean, but Zoro gets to talk to Daddy almost everyday. He gets angry if I talk to him while he talks to him everyday. Zoro never tells me when Daddy calls, and he knows that I miss him as much as he does. He's not emo, and you can thank Daddy for that.
"I have no clue why you're soo pissy when Daddy calls or video chats with me while you, on the other hand, practically call him or video chat with him everyday. I'm lucky enough to talk to him once a month while you get to talk to him, like, 25 times a month. You know how hard it is to hear you brag on and on about how Daddy is so proud of you and your achievements when I barely have the time to talk to him? You either need to grow a heart, ro move to Iraq." I attempted to get up, only to cause more pain. "Austin, can you please bring me my wheelchair?" He obeyed and brought it over, even helped me into it. Finnick followed as Austin pushed me out of my room and into the hallway.
Zoro walks out of the room. "Wait!" We stop and turn around. "Do you think you could get me another pudding cup while you're out?" We turned around and, we don't care that this is more a of a children's hospital, flipped him off. We continued to flip him off until we turned the corner to go to the X-Ray room. This is my **favorite** part!

I've been caught up in reading a story on here, and I had to come up with a way to end the chapter. I don't think I'm dragging on the hospital thing. Mainly because you get to learn more about Finnick, Zoro, and Austin in the hospital. For example, you just learned that Zoro is a jackass who likes to horder their dad from Zuri. And, since we're almost to 10 chapters, I'm putting in a twist in chapter 10, But I ain't telling. And yes. Ain't is a word. It's on dictionary.com so it's a word. :P
