The Little Sister

Ch.13 Trip Down Memory Lane

Coby's pov:

I and Cory didn't want to go to the funeral. We couldn't stand seeing are parents going out like this. Katherine is now staying at our place, and she's pretty torn up about it as well. Me, Cory, Beth, and Cat decided to stay at home and watch movies and eat popcorn all day to get the funeral off our minds for a while. When we were done watching The Avengers for the 6th time, we all decided to hit the hay. We all went to our separate rooms and everything was silent.

I woke up the next day to Cory sitting on my bed crying. I sat up and brought my little brother in for a hug. I hated seeing my family cry; I didn't like when people who are near and dearest to be upset. Cory looked up at me and forced a fake smile. I smiled back anyway and asked "you OK Core? ". Cory shook his head and placed his hands over his eyes. I laid my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes, hearing the cries of my little brother.

Beth's pov:

I walked past Coby's room and saw the twins hugging. I smiled but it faded away within 5 seconds. Cory was crying, I bet he's still upset about mom and dad. I never really remember them; all I remember is going to go get ice cream with them every Saturday night. I walked towards Catherine's room and found her looking at old family photos. I didn't want to bother her so I went to my room and went back to sleep. In my dream, I dreamt about me and the family going to the park on a Saturday night. I ran towards the swings and begged Cory to push me, while Coby pushed Catharine, and our parents were watching us. "Higher, higher!" I begged as Cory chuckled. I looked over and saw Katherine pushing Coby; I laughed as Kath tried to succeed but ended up failing. Cory and I switched places, so I was pushing Cory. I pushed my older brother with all my might and failed like Katherine. Our mom got her phone out and started recording everything. I ran up to the phone and said "Hello people! ". Cory ran up behind me and picked my 5 year old body up. I let out a playful scream as Cory laughed and sat me on his shoulders. Coby saw what we were doing, so he picked Catharine up and sat here on his shoulders. Coby walked next to Cory and started talking to mom. It was so fun and I never wanted it to end.

I woke up with a start and ended up crying, I missed mom and dad. I wish I got to know them more. Katherine walked into my room and gave me a big hug. I never knew Catherine well; all I know is some stuff about her, but not everything. Catherine had light brown hair like mom, blue eyes like dad, and pale skin like the both of them. Katherine let go of me and walked us to Coby's room where the twins were looking at pictures and talking about them.

Coby's pov:

Catharine and Beth walked in and saw us looking at old family photos and talking about them. "Remember when we went to Disneyland and you got really scared of Mickey Mouse?" Cory asked me. I covered my face with my hands in embarrassment as my siblings started laughing at me. So Catharine and Beth sat on the bed with us and all we talked about were memories with our parents.
