Chapter 13

━━━━━━━━━

I woke up the next morning to see I couldn't even stand in my capsule all the way through the night. I rolled my eyes at myself as I pushed off the wall of my capsule. I had been leaning against it all night. I felt my face fall as I realized that I wasn't even in my own capsule. I had fallen asleep in Chase's. My eyes closed as I took in a deep breath. I missed him more than words could explain.

I stepped carefully out of the capsule and shut the door softly behind me. We had all silently agreed never to touch it after the day Chase left. We always thought he would come back. But one day, the others gave up hope, I still had some part of me that believed that he would return home one day. But of course, instead of him coming to me, I somehow went to him. I think Douglas planned to leave me with Chase. He must had known the real reason Chase left in the first place. He would have wanted Chase and I to fall back in love and forget about the rest of the family. He failed to remember that Chase and I, were brother and sister, we were family to begin with. So that was what it really came down to in who we were looking out for. I would be saving my family, and Chase, by being with him or not.

I picked up a hair tie off the cyber desk, still waltzing around the lab in my pj's. I would change into my mission suit in a little bit. I decided to have breakfast upstairs since this would be my second to last day in the house. I would be spending plenty of time in the lab today anyway. I was going to train with the simulator.

The elevator raised slowly but surely to the main floor. I sighed as I glanced around to see, and feel, the emptiness of the house. I hated the way it felt to be at home alone. I had always planned on living with someone at all times. I couldn't see a life where I was living by myself. It creeped me out to say the least.

I walked over to the kitchen and picked up a bowl off the counter. Tasha had cleaned the house to the point where practically everything was perfect. Minus the fact that I had trailed dirt all over the house after I had gotten home last night. I sighed as I set the bowl down, seeing as I had thrown my shoes to each end of the house. I made my way to the first shoe before walking over to the door here I had lost my energy to throw. I held each shoe in my hand before walking back to the kitchen and setting them down in the sink. I didn't want to deal with them. They reminded me too much of Chase, given the fact that I had worn them all throughout my adventure with him.

I hopped up on the counter before pulling the bowl closer to me and picking out a box of cereal that sat on the counter as well. I popped open the box as I poured the cereal out before jumping back down and glancing around the fridge for the milk. I smiled as I saw there was one day left till the expiration date. I shuffled back to the counter and poured the milk into the bowl before finding a spoon. I was still exhausted to say the least. After I had sent the file to Chase's chip, I had practically thrown myself into his capsule.

I frowned as I realized that I wasn't even wearing my own pajamas. I was wearing Chase's. He hadn't worn them for two years. Our capsules held our specific clothes, so it's no wonder I had been changed into his pajamas. They felt slightly larger than my own.

I smiled as I wrapped my arms around myself. This would be the last thing I had of him. My goodbye to him, he would hopefully keep long after I was gone. I hope he never forgets about me.

I groaned quietly as I heard a knock on the door. It was probably one of the neighbors or Principle Perry here to annoy me. I didn't even want to go and see who it was. I shook my head as I leaned against the counter, not even facing the door simply because I didn't want to see anyone. I had to focus on tomorrow. I couldn't be distracted by the stupid door and whoever was behind it.
