The Babysitter(Ethan Dolan)

42(Gone)

Ethan.

"Seriously?! You're really gonna cheat like that?" I laughed trying to shoot Aaliyah from a distance. She hid behind a chair as I attempted to squirt water at her. Aaliyah and I decide to buy water guns, toy bombs, and stuff and play Call of Duty as if we were in the game. Don't ask why, because we're doing this for fun, and I have to admit it is SUPER fun. I feel like a little kid again. "Dude! I have skills! I'm not a cheater! " She shouted poking her head up and shot my arms and chest. I jumped back over the couch and waited until the coast was clear.

"Come out Ethan! Take your death like a man!" Aaliyah yelled with pride. Man she takes these things too seriously.. What's next? She's gonna use Lucky as a blood hound? "Alright! I'm sending out the attack dog! Lucky go find Daddy!" She screeched. You just had to say it didn't you Ethan? You just had to jinx it.. I told myself. Well, it's official, she takes these things seriously. Zipping around the couch, Lucky jumps onto me and starts attacking my face with his tongue. "Lucky! Gross! Stop it!" I giggled as Lucky began to lick my ear. Aaliyah hopped onto the couch and chuckled.

"Looks like that battle is won. Good job boy.." She said pulling him off of me. "That's not fair! You can't use Lucky as an attack dog!" I complained getting up slowly. She caressed Lucky's head and smiled. "No it isn't. Lucky's my baby. Therefore I can use him as an attack dog." She argued with a soft smile. I sat down beside her and tossed my gun on the floor. I kissed her forehead and rubbed Lucky's back. "You know, we'd make great parents.." I said looking her in her eyes. She raised her eyebrows and huffed. "Really now?" She replied.

"Yes."

"How would you know that? I mean we never even had a baby before. We don't know a thing about raising a child." She remarked gazing at me. "I think we have enough experience. We take care of Lucky like he's a baby." I said, comparing Lucky to a baby. I just realized that was a terrible analogy. She knitted her eyebrows together and scoffed. "Lucky is a dog, no offense Lucky, but a baby is much more different than a dog, and I heard they're difficult to take care of."

"Ok ok, geez, I didn't say let's make a baby." I giggled throwing my hands up in defeat. She laughed and got off of the couch. "I'm craving for something sweet." She stated setting Lucky on the ground. "Yeah? You wanna bake cookies?" I suggested following her into the kitchen.

"Great idea Ethan.."

Later on we watched the PowerPuff Girls together. Not the new and generic Power Puff Girls, I'm talking about the originals. They have all the episodes on Netflix! You don't know how happy I am right now! You know, my favorite character is Mojojo. He's an evil genius to me😊. Aaliyah rested her head on my chest and wrapped her arm around my stomach as her eyes studied the TV. And I say 'study' because they never left the TV. I didn't know she was such a big fan of this show. I guess even though we been together for a while, we still have things to learn about each other.

Her phone rings and she sighs. She slowly gets up and reaches over for her phone. "Hello?" She answers looking down at her knees. I couldn't make out who was on the other line but it didn't sound like her mom. "Yes, this is her daughter, why what's going on?" She asked sounding a little bit worried. Aaliyah's eyes widened and she covered her mouth. "What? Wait the plane what?! Well is she gonna be OK?" Aaliyah yelled, and her voice broke. There was a long pause, and tears started dropping from her cheeks slowly.

What's going on? Is her Mom OK? I asked myself. She stood up and threw her phone against the wall and she started breaking down crying. "Why?! Why her?!" She screamed falling to her knees. I jumped off of the bed and quickly lifted her up in my arms. Now, she's screaming and crying at the top of her lungs. Going crazy. Something I've never seen her do before. It was the most terrifying thing I've ever witnessed. I held her in my arms as she continued to cry harder, and harder. "Babe, calm down tell me what's wrong." I said squeezing her tightly. "MOM.. MY MOM.. SHE'S GONE.." She yelled into my chest.

My heart stopped and I tried to take everything in all at once. But the truth was..

I couldn't.
