The Story of Our Lives | A New Beginning (Completed & Editing)

~ Chapter 6 ~

My eyes flew open, I had awoken to a scream. I was in my room, in bed with Justin by my side. He was looking around, worried, his eyes were darting everywhere, but at me.
"Justin, what's wrong?" I asked as I sat up, for some reason it took a lot of effort out of me to get up. I rubbed my head and looked at Justin's eyes. "Justin? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." He took my hand and pulled me to my feet. "You were dreaming, that's all, sleep talking, and screaming." He gave me a slight smile.
I nodded and I walked out of my room, with Justin behind me. I offed the lights and he shut the door. "What time is it?"
"It's 8:00 pm" He pulled me down the stairs. "Look, Mom's gone, I don't know when she'll be back, she left a note saying she went shopping, and it's been an hour." He showed me the note. "I'm worried M." He looked around, he got on his knees to get something, but instead he hugged me tight.
"What's this for?" I asked.
"For being my sister." He rested his chin on my shoulder. "Love you little sis." A tear fell down his cheek.
I held his shoulders and pushed him away from me. I looked into his water filled eyes, wiping the tears away I said, "I love you too big bro. Don't worry, even if......" I was reminded of the last memory of my father. "If... she's gone.... like..... like....." I couldn't finish the sentence, but I knew that he knew what I meant. I pulled him up and went to get a drink of water. At that moment my phone buzzed, I picked it up and saw the message, it was from Zac. "Oh, it's him again." I read the message and replied.
"Him?" Justin asked suspiciously.
"Yeah, just a guy I met today." I took my water and looked at Justin. "His name is Zac." I watched as he fumbled with his fingers. "You're worried aren't you? About me and a boy."
"Well.... um.... yeah..." He ruffled his hair at the back of his head. "I'm your big brother, I don't want..... you know, anything bad happening to you." He walked over to me and leaned on the counter. "I have a little sister, who's only in Junior High, I care very much about you MK."
"I know you do." I gave him a quick hug. "You should know that I'm not going to go crazy."
"Deep inside I know, but on the outside I... I don't pay attention to the inside, especially when it has to do with my little sister." He ruffled my hair and patted me on the head.
"I can tell, you are always so worried." I punched him in the arm lightly. "I think I'm gonna go to bed soon."
"Okay, don't start thinking about boys in your sleep." He laughed at his joke, and I laughed along.
"Kay, I'll go-"

 I was half way up the stairs when there was a knock on the door. We weren't suspecting someone, and Mom would just come right in. Justin got to the door and opened it.

I saw a man at our door, he looked awfully familiar. "Dad?" The last thing I said before everything went black.
