"Hey Abby! How long have you been up?" I turn around and see Andy walking down the stairs.
"Oh I don't know. Couldn't sleep."
"Did you have another nightmare?"
"Yeah..." I say shyly. "But it's nothing to worry about!"
"Abby, it's ok to tell us about these things. We want to help you."
"I know."
"How much sleep did you get last night?"
"Maybe...an hour?"
"That's not good for you ya know."
"I know." I sigh and fall back into the couch.
*Patrick's POV*
This afternoon is when we're going to talk to Abby again. I get nervous when the time nears.
"Are you sure about this Pete? Can't she just not go to school? Money isn't a problem, she'll inherit it and she'll be fine."
"Trick, I already told you, the kid can't go almost her entire life without going to school. Don't worry, we'll ease into the subject and then we'll homeschool her."
"Ok." I grumble then call Abby downstairs.
"What?" She asks when she gets down here.
"Ok, Abby, I need to to stay calm." Her face goes pale. "You need to breath sweetie. You need to breath."
"Is this about you-know-what?"
"Abby, I'm going to nice and clear about this. We're not going to send you to school." Some of the color comes back to her face. "But," her face gets place again. "You do need to learn. So we're going to homeschool you. Ok?" She nods her head. "Great! Uncle Joe found a website to tell us what grade level you need to learn at, since we don't know what grade you're in, ok?" She nods her head again. "You can do it whenever you want."
"C-can I do it now?" She says, barely above a whisper.
"Of course." Joe hands her the laptop and we leave her alone.
"That went better than expected." Pete says.
"Thank god. I was really hoping she wouldn't have a another panic attack."
"And she didn't, and that's what matters."
We wait for her to done and finally she walks in with the laptop in hand and shows us her score.
"Eighth grade? All righty then!" Man, she's smart for only going to school for maybe a couple years. She must've caught on to stuff as she grew up.
"Can we watch Supernatural?" She asks.
"Of course!" We all get on the couch and watch it until we fall asleep.
Sorry for the short chapter but the next one will be Joe's birthday!
