Alex's POV

-dreaming-

I'm my dream, I walk around Mommy and Daddy who bend over a ten year old girl, Evangeline. They are asking her questions, but they don't see me. I see myself, sitting fast asleep in the back of their car, my head throbs.

I run over to them and try and seperate them from my sister, but I walk through them. "The baby." Evangeline says.

"The baby isn't a baby any more"

I wake up panting, rubbing my palms on my sweet pants and running into Mommy and Daddy's room, I'm about to scream for them when I forget why I am so afraid. I hear my dad giggling and notice mommy I about to use her hair drier, I giggle and peek around the corner. "What's so funny she asks, facing Daddy and accidently starting the hair drier, which was pointed at Daddy so he is covered in baby powder.

I am laughing harder than I have ever laughed before in my life.

I flop onto their bed screaming with laughter. Mommy is laughing too, but Daddy is not amused. She finishes laughing and the door bell rings, Jalen is here! "Yay!" I exclaim, raising down the stairs and jerking the door open.

Jalen stands there with a doll in her hand and she smiles and waves. "Hi Alexandra!" She says. "Hey Jalen! And please, call me Alex." I say. "Okie done then." She says and I smile. Mommy is behind me gripping my shoulders like moms do, that made me sad. My own mother used to do that, but I bite my bottom lip and choke back tears. "Sorry we're a little bit early." Jalen's mom asks.

"I have a baby, and as they get older they need clothes, so, clothes shopping, hooray!" Jalen's mom says saracastically. Mommy laughs. "I know how difficult that is. Thanks for letting Jalen come over." Mommy says.

"No problem! And you know what they say, " Her eyes lock with mine directly and her tone is serious, "the baby isn't a baby anymore." She says. I stare at the ground and break her gaze. Why is that familiar? I shake it off but Mommy seems to recognize it too, because she seems uncomfortable. "Well, have fun Jalen." Jalen's mom says. "By the way, I didn't catch your name." Mommy says.

"My name is Evangeline, but you can call me Evie." She says as she walks down off the porch. I ponder about this for a moment. No way that wasn't just a coincidence. "Well why don't you come in Jalen?" Mommy says. (Quick A/N if you imagine Pat and Jen talking in their actual voices then it'll be a lot funnier in my opinion okay continue)  Jalen walks in and asks me "Do you wanna play dolls?" She asks. "Yes sure! I have a raggity sue doll, same as yours!" I say. "Let's come in my room." I say.

We run up the stairs and fling the door open to my room. I run over to my dresser and pick up my Raggity Sue doll. "Ummm what is that?" Jalen asks. I run around, she's looking at my septic eye Sam plushie. "Oh my Septiceye Sam plushie! Do you like it?" I ask. She squints at me. "Why would you sleep next to a green eyeball weirdo." She scowls.

"U-umm. It's Jacksepticeye, h-" She interrupts me. "Never mind. I guess it's none of my business." She says rudely. I frown at her but move on. "So do you like video games?" I ask her. She shrugs. "Well you're going to love Minecraft! Come on let's go play!" I say.

She looks at me long and hard but then smiles and says "Let's go!" We run down my stairs to where my parents were. Daddy and Mommy were arguing who had to do the dishes. "Buttttt Jeennnnnn." Pat complained. "Oh stop complaining!" She says between laughs. "BUUTTTT JEENNNNNN..... " "I did the dishes last night so- oh hey girls." Mommy says.

"Caaan we play Minecraft on the computers?" I ask, rocking on my heels. Mommy nods. "Go for it. Sorry, I'm busy winning an argument against your father." Mommy says. "Wait I'm pretty sure I'm winning." Daddy comments. "Best. Parents. Ever." Mommy says. "Heck yea." Daddy says, fist pumping mommy.  I back away slowly and me and Jalen go into the computer room.

On my desk was more of my favorite decorations. "How about instead we redecorate your desk and your room! That would be fun! I love decorating stuff, I obviously know what's best for you,  plus, you need it. I think those tubes up your nose are cutting off your sense of style but that's okay." She says, placing her hand on my arm. "I'm here for you." She says.

"Umm, no thanks. Why don't we just play Minecraft? You can play on Jen's computer and I'll play on mine." I say. "Can I try your computer?" Jalen asks. I shrug. "Sure." I say. She waddles over to my desk, 'accidentally' stepping on my tubes that come from the oxygen tank and yanking the nubbings out of my nose. It jerks me forward causing me to hit my head on the cart.

"Ow!" I yell out. "I'm so sorry Alex!" Jalen asks. "You did that on purpose!" I say, standing up and rubbing my head. "I-I'm so sorry! I just wanted to knock them out to see if you would change your mind to the redecorating." Jalen says. "It's ok." I say. I could feel the huge knot on my forehead. "Alex? Everything okay in there?" Mommy calls from the other room. "Yea I'm okay! I just ran into the door again on accident!" I yell back. "NERD!" My daddy yells jokingly, making me giggle.

I help Jalen  make her own avatar, then I join a BedWars server with her and we play for awhile. Her account name is "JayJay" While mine is "AlexTheGamer"

I feel like I've really made a friend. Everything seem to be going well, until suddenly everything went into a swirling black abyss.

And I am with Evangeline. My sister.
