Emily's POV**
(A month later)
"Hey Alex!" I greet my brother with a quic smile, getting dressed for school.
"Good morning princess, how've you been?" He grins at me as I fall over trying to get my socks on.
"Busy." I smirk at him "I painted my bedroom finally."
"Ohh lets see then."
I lift my phone and filp my amera sohe can see my feature wall.
It's a balck feather, twisted above my bed, breaking off into little gold birds at the end. There's so much detail, and it's stunning.
"What is that?!" Alex asks, pulling me from my thoughts.
I flip the camrea to face him. "It's called a feather?" I look at him strangely.
"No way really?!" He rolls his eyes srcastically.
"Shut up, it's caled art, and you should be very proud of me."
"Mhm sure." He yawns. "Anyway, I have sleep to catch up on, and you have school, bye!"
"Bye Mr prince." I hang up, and start looking for my books.
My door opens, and Leo comes in.
"Hey Leo." I turn to him and take a step back; Leo looks awful. And I don't mean that in a horribe way, I mean he looks exhausted. The 'I-haven't-slept-in-a-week-and-am-running-solely-off-caffeine' exhausted.
"You ready?" He tries not to yawn, voice breaking on every word.
"Almost. Do you want a drink?" I ask, and he simply nods. I go into my bathroom, fill the (clean) glass with water (it's colder here than the kitchen) and dissolve a sleeping pill in the water. I as given these in the hental hospital to help me sleep, and they were easier to take if they were dissolved in water. I reconsider, and put another one in, waiting for it to look like normal water again.
"Thanks." He says, taking the drugged water. Do I feel guilty? One hundred percent.
I fuss over finding my books, until i hear a little crash behind me, signifying leo has fallen asleep. Literally.
I call dad, explain to him why Leo is asleep on my bedroom flor, and he agrees to change him and watch him so when he wakes up he doesn't come to school.
With that I race to pack my bag, and half run half walk to school.
