Family Comes at the Weirdest Times

Chapter 5

The next morning, I felt so much better. I felt refreshed and-

Normal. It felt great. I yawned, stretching my arms over my head. I looked around and noticed five bodies sitting in a semicircle. I heard low voices talking amongst themselves.

I raised my eyebrows at what was going on. Last night came rushing back to my mind. It took a millisecond for me to be up and moving to get my medical tape. I still needed to remove yesterday's wrapping and replace them with new ones.

Grabbing said needed object, I quickly applied the tape before running out halfway through my second foot. I groaned before standing. I needed to get more of the market. I might as well stock up on other things while I'm there.

I made the adults in the room with me startled at my movements, stopping their chatter. Anthony stood up and stopped me from moving around so much. I looked up at him. Is there a reason he stopped me?

He gently took my shoulders in his hands, easily covering my shoulders. He sat me down in the semicircle as he sat beside me.

"Wha-!" I barely uttered before Ian spoke up, not hearing me.

"We were talking about how we found you and Cry when we woke up." I raised my eyebrow. What?

"You two were snuggling." Felix laughed. Frost was in his lap, still asleep. Lazy ass.

My face heated at the mention of snuggling. I don't snuggle. I fell asleep leaning against the wall away from Cry. But I haven't had a hug in five years. What am I thinking?! I'm fine!

"You looked as if you were missing something" Minx said, actually looking if she was searching for something I'm my eyes hidden behind my mask. I shrugged.

"Where is Cry anyway?" I asked quietly.

"He ran off when we told him what we just told you." Ken said. I don't know why that didn't surprise me. Either way, I'm never going to fall asleep close to anyone other than Frost.

"That's great. Now I'm going." I said standing up abruptly. I quickly jumped down to the overgrown grass before calling Frost down. She peaked her head over the edge of the tree house before disappearing back inside. I knew that meant she wasn't coming down.

I rolled my eyes and started walking away. I walked through the house, taking inventory before leaving fully. I still needed medical tape and some Advil. Just because I don't let it show, doesn't mean I don't get headaches.

DONT HIT ME WITH TOMATOES!!! I didn't have a lot of inspiration and I didn't know what else to downturn the story!
