How To Save A Life

With Sunshine Comes Moonlight

Skye >POV<

I woke up the next morning in my brand new bed. I got up and walked around the room.

'So this is mine,' I thought.

I checked my phone on the desk.

9:37

This is about the time I wake up. I don't like to wake up early and to me, 8:00 is early.

I poked my head out of my door and looked down the hallway.

I didn't hear anything so I walked down the stairs to see the guys having breakfast.

"Morning guys," I said as I sat down at the counter next to Vikk and Lachlan.

"Hey Skye," Jerome said,"want a pancake?" He asked pointing to the pan as he was cooking.

"Sure," I said, "I never really had one before," I said.

"What!!??" Vikk said looking at me.

"You've never had a pancake?" Rob asked.

"That's just sad," Lachlan said.

"You've never had the fluffy round saucer that is a pancake, the delicious doughy circle, the thing that is pure life?!" Mitch asked pointing to his pancake.

I shook my head no.

"You had a sad childhood," Preston said shoving a mouthful of dough into his mouth.

"Don't worry Skye, you'll be grateful you're here, especially because Biggums here is the best pancake maker of all time, the God of pancakes if you will," he said walking up to Jerome and putting his arm around him.

"Here," Jerome said as he grabbed a plate and put two pancakes on it.

Mitch got a cup of orange juice and slid it to me.

I just looked at him.

"Don't tell me you've never had orange juice before," he said looking at me.

"No, no!" I said laughing, "I was just surprised at how much you love pancakes."

"Take a bite and you will understand my love for them," he said clutching his heart with one hand, the other arm still around Jerome.

I took a bite of pancakes and immediately understood his love for this, it's amazing. So doughy and sweet.

"Wow," I said grabbing another mouthful.

"Now try it with the syrup," Lachlan said as he slid the bottle over to me.

I poured the brown liquid all over my pancakes and put the bottle down. I put the dough on my fork and shoved it in my mouth.

Wow, it was even sweeter than before and that made it way better.

"Wow," I said shoving a whole mouthful into my mouth.

"Stick with me kid, I'll take you places," Mitch said patting me on the back as he went back to his seat.

"It's okay Skye, I'm sure lots of people have never had pancakes," Vikk said patting me on the back.

"Ha, yeah sure," Mitch said smiling.

Everyone burst out laughing including me.

"I doubt anyone but me would be oblivious to the doughy saucer that is the pancake," I said laughing.
