Chapter 9: The Way Home

I wheeled my way to Tim's house. The house was gorgeous on the outside. I wheeled my way to the stairs and stopped to pull out my phone. 

Hey, come outside. Tori<3  I danced my fingers across the keyboard quickly. I couldn't wait any longer to see him.

The door swung open and Tim came out without a smile on his face. I was so happy and glad to see him.

"Hey." I grinned. He didn't reply. That's when it hit me. "Holy, crap! Last night, I am so sorry. I can explain." I started to cry.

"Explain inside, I am freezing." He whispered and came without question to wheel me up the stairs. 

The house was beautiful. A grand staircase stretched and connected the downstairs to the upstairs. I gasped as he trudged me upstairs into his room. His room was dark blue with pictures and posters of sport players all around. He had brought me into his room, this should be interesting. 

"So, explain." He looked at me with tears in his eyes surprisingly. I looked at the ceiling. I didn't want to scare him and tell him that I have an invisble sister who tried to get revenge by almost killing me. But I had to.

"Okay. So two days ago when I fainted, it was because my sister Taylor came back. She was missing last summer. When I awoke, she was there, but no one else could see her. I thought I was imagining until last night." I paused. I winced and pulled up my shirt a little to reveal the scar. "I was stabbed." Tim stared at me as if I was insane. He began to cry a little with tears falling slowly down his cheeks.

"I almost died." I whispered. "But I'm here." He placed his hands on my arm and lifted me onto the bed. He lay me down and placed his head on my stomach as if his crying would heal my scar, my pain.

"I'm sorry." He whispered through the tears. I couldn't take it. I lifted his head so he could look at me. His eyes were red, he had been crying before,

"Don't be. I love you." I began to cry, and we just lay there, together.
