I Walk With The Shadows

IWWTS 4

I'm not sure what time it was when I woke up, but when I looked out the window beside Tim's bed I saw that it was still slightly dark. I reached up and rubbed my eyes, they were still puffy and red from last night. For some reason, last night was such a blur. All I remember was Sydney seeing me and reading Timmy's heartbreaking note.

Did Tim really think I was the best sister ever? I always thought I was so mean to him, but apparently he doesn't remember. After contemplating last night for a while, I finally had the courage to get up off the floor. As I stretched myself up to the roof, I saw my sweet baby brother, sound asleep in his bed. I walked over to his bed and admired how much he had grown.

I tiptoed over to the top of his bed, the part where his head laid and gently sat down.

"Oh, Timmy" I whispered while petting his short sandy blonde hair, "I really do miss you, I wish you could see me."

Tim stirred a bit in his sleep and I got up, very frightened that I may have awoken him. He didn't wake up totally but he did mumble under his breath,"Moooooom, why are you petting my head, I'm twelve noooow...." then he fell back asleep.

I chuckled a bit and decided it was my time to leave. I had been here for about a day now, and my birthday is over, so I think it's time. I slowly and softly opened my brother's door and tried my best to sneak out of the crack without making any noise. This is one of those rare times when I actually wish I was a ghost, they are so lucky, being able to sneak around and crap! When I entered the living room, i took the entire scenery in. This was the place of my childhood. I held back my tears and snuck into Syd's room.

As I entered I could tell she knew I was there. She began to stir and then sat up right in her crib.

"Eeeeeeeeeuuuuuuurooop" babbled Sydney a little to loudly

I patted Sydney on the head and began to open up the window so I could easily get out without being seen, but as soon as I began to open the window, I heard a loud gasp and glass break behind me......
