" Hey! Ow! Don't push me!" Millie wined as her older brother Luke pushed her away from the window of her tree house. Millie had been looking out of the at the beautiful view.
" I'm just trying to put the window in your tree house." Luke snapped at her. " The window will be able to open close and even lock if you come up here in the winter. So move!"
Millie moved as her brother had said, but she moved toward the boxes that she and her brother brought up so the tree house could have furniture. Millie reached for the nearest box and started unpacking the box the said "mini fridge". She got that was she was five, one year after she was diagnosed with a terminal cancer.
" Where should I put this?" Millie asked after taking the mini fridge out of its box.
" Over here!" Her brother said, probably louder then he would have wanted to be.
" It runs on batteries! Dose that make a difference?" Millie said back calmly.
" That means you can put that any where. How many of what type of batteries does it need?"
" How I supposedto know!" Millie bellowed.
" You have the fridge and it's box! Don't be a dumb-ass!" Luke yelped in anger.
Millie looked on the box evrywhere, flipping over everything she could. Finally, after about a minute of looking, she found where the box said what type of batteries the mini fridge runs on.
" Found it!" Millie screamed in excitement, " Four A's!"
" Four A's?" Luke asked in confusion, " Ohhhhh! You quadruple A's! See this could have been easier Mills. But no, you had to make it harder."
Millie started for another box labeled batteries. She thought it just said that because of what was last in the box, so she began to open the box only to find hundreds of different batteries all packed up in the box.
" Something like this and the mini make me think my parents don't want me anymore." Millie mudderd under her breath. " Just because I have a terminal cancer."
" Don't say that Millie!" Luke said, clearly offended, " Your cancers don't affect our family! It's just-"
" Just what?!?! They cost our family thousands of dollars! I'm fifteen almost sixteen, No one wants to date me because they afraid I'll die and they will be heart broken! And-"
" Millie I get your point but-"
" I am going to tall to mom and about this! She can't lie about this to my face! She just can't!" Millie yelled, she was becoming weaker by the second, her breath was becoming shorter and she began gasping for air.
" Millie! You know she's gonna-" Luke yelled back, but stopped as soon as he resized Millie was have a hard time breathing. " Mills! Are you okay?!?!"
" Y-ya, I think I am. I am going to ask mom about this now." Millie said, still gasping for air.
Millie wiped around and walked towards the rope ladder, it all happened in an instant, Millie went from the top of the ladder to clinging to her brother's hand, and her helpless body dangling over the long drop that was from the tree house to the ground.
" Millie! Look at me!" Luke bellowed, " You hear me?! Don't look down!"
But Millie did, and regretted it. She let out a squeal of terror. Her eye shot back up to her brother, her eyes drifted from her brother for a second. Millie saw dark clouds telling her a lot has happened since her and Luke started arguing.
" Damn it!" Luke said, " A Strom! Millie grab my other ha-"
Luke words where cut of as the first lighting struck the tree house. As if in an instant, Luke jumped out of the tree house, flinging himself towards his younger sister Millie, bear - hugging her to protect her from the fall. As he did, they prepared themselves for a hard landing.
