Why Not?

Chapter 4

Maria finally decided to calm down when she saw food in front of her. It's funny because that's the only way I can ever calm her down is with food. She eats a lot but never gains wait she's just one skinny, sweet little girl, that I couldn't ask for someone better then her to be my sister.

"Why are you so happy may I ask?"

"I got all A's on my report card!!"

"Wow! I'm so proud of you Maria."

"Thanks big brother. Do you think mom will be proud too? Is she up?"

"No, she's asleep."

"Oh. Well I'll just tell her when she wakes up."

"Tell me what?" Said mom.

Well I guess mom was awoken from the little squeals that was coming out of Maria's mouth. I wouldn't blame her, I would wake up to if I heard something like that.

"Look mom, I got all A's in my report!"

"That's my smart daughter of mine."

Mom went over to hug her. Moments like these I just really wanna stop time and cherish them, just us three, not worrying about anything.

"Woah mom be careful."

Mom stumbled a little after letting go of Maria. Mom still thinks she can get around fast and quick like us. She sometimes doesn't realize that she is sick and needs to take it easy.

"Oh don't worry about my honey, I'm fine."

"Well you almost fell. You need to take it easy."

"I know, no need to remind me every time."

She thinks I worry about her so much and think that something might happen to her. Well she is right, I'm always worried about her because we don't want to loose her, she's all we got.

"Well you kids go a head and eat. I'll be over here in the living room if you need me."

Okay we said. Not long after that I went to go take a shower and then decided to lay down. It was already 8:30. While I was laying down, I was thinking, thinking how Luna might have thought I was acting weird and I have to be honest, I really was acting different. I just really wanted to get home and check on my mom to see if she was okay. But I guess tomorrow I'll just tell her that everything was okay. Sometimes I do want to tell her about a little bit in my life, but I just don't want her to feel bad for me and all that. Well to be honest I don't know what I'm gonna do.

I was about to get up when I heard my phone buzz. I saw that it was a message from my great and like only close friend that knows everything about me, Miguel. We have known each other since kindergarten, so he's basically like a bother to me. He has always been their for me and I'm so great full to have him in my life.

Message:
Miguel: Hey pal, do you wanna do something tomorrow after school? Because we really haven't done anything together recently.

Me: Sorry pal I can't :(. I have a project in reading class and I really haven't been working on it and my partner had been worrying too. So I guess I'm gonna go over to her house tomorrow and get some of it done.

Miguel: Oh I see that sucks bro. It's cool though, we'll just do something this weekend.

Me: Yeah that sounds great.

Miguel: Cool. & hey your partner seems like a cool chick, you should try to get her in a date with you ;).

Me: That's funny, not. Ik not really looking for anyone right now, with school and my mom, I just don't have any time. She is really cool and beautiful, but I just can't.

Miguel: I know I understand, but at least open up a little, just try and connect with her, maybe this can help you feel some what better.

Me: I want to, I really do, but right now I can't. You do recall, I did have bad bipolar and depression, right??

Miguel: Yes, I remember, who can forget. But not you don't, so don't let this be the reason for all you problems and trying to do something new.

Me: It's not. Ugh, I just need to rest, goodnight pal.

Miguel: Okay get some rest, but you better remember what I told you, goodnight pal.

And with that I turned my phone off. He was right and I hate it when he is right. I do need to find someone that I connect with and I really do feel like I connect with her. I might listen to him and give it a try, but I don't know.

So with that I decided to send Luna a message telling her that I'm gonna come over to her house tomorrow and we'll be able to work on the project more and get way more done. So then I decided to fall asleep. Hopefully when ever she does see the real me, she we'll see me as a good person.

Luna's P.O.V.

Buzz.

I rolled over to see that I had a message and it was from Javier. It's been a while since I heard from him, from some weird reason I was worrying about him. To see if everything was okay with him. I feel like we have a connection like a nice sweet connect.

Message:
Javier: Hey I'm sorry for acting weird, their was just something that was bothering me, but I'm okay now. So I was wondering if it's okay for me to come over tomorrow and we can work on the project some more :).

Me: Okay that sounds good, I guess I will look forward too o tomorrow ;).

I really hope that he is okay, because I don't like to see him when something is bothering him. We have only known each other for a little while, but I feel like I have known him for my whole life.

Hopefully tomorrow when he comes over he can open up a little more to me. So I can find out at least somethings about him and he can find out somethings about me.

I really do hope everything goes well tomorrow.
