Chapter 6

~~~Max~~~

I couldn't believe it. I was over. Finished! Mom would blame me for this. I wouldn't make it to next week!

But then the prince spoke up, "Grandmother? Can't Max stay?"

She looked at him, "And why do you ask, Johnny?"

Before he could answer, Mom did that for him by glaring at me. "YOU!" She ran at me and grabbed my shirt. "I should beat the tar outta you myself today instead of letting your sister do it!"

It was a dumb move for someone who had just called me a dumb***. Johnny yanked on her and I, trying to split us apart. "I love her!"

~~~~Toast~~~

There was a flash of light then I saw PIE's living room around me. I was home?

Then that voice from before spoke again. "When you wish to something, your subconscious shows it to you. Close your eyes."

With no better plan, I shut my eyes. Behind them, I saw myself a mirror. With myself looking back at me of course.

But then it smiled when I didn't.

I freaked out, "What's going on?!"

"Like I said," it said as I realized that the eerie voice I heard was really my own being echoed through my brain. "Your subconscious will show you all that can be thought of."

I quickly opened my eyes and felt the couch to make sure this was real and I hadn't been knocked out by Max's mother. It was indeed real so I ran as fast as I could without falling to our room. Max was still lying in bed. She's tired a bit, turning over.

I knew I probably shouldn't tell her what happened so I simply laid beside her and held her close. I never wanted to let go again. Then she murmured what she had before. But this time, I knew what she said.

"Don't go,Johnny..."
