The Suicidal Friend

Chapter 9

I wake up to someone shaking me violently. "Emerald!" The person shaking me says. I sit up and rub my eyes. I turn and look at the person who was shaking me. It was Blue. "W-what?" I stutter, slightly annoyed. "I'm your adopted sister now!!" She exclaims excitedly. "Yay!" I say, hugging her, all traces of exhaustion leaving me. "But I have one question" I say, looking at my bed, which I was sitting on. "Yes?" Blue asks, smiling. "I fell asleep in the loft, on the floor, so do I have the ability to teleport?" I ask, smiling. "Sorry, no. Your father moved you." She says, her smile widening. I laugh lightly, smiling at her. "Blue! Emerald! " Breakfast is ready!" My mother yells up the stairs. I grab Blue's hand and we run down the stair toward the kitchen to eat. "It's blueberry pancakes today, for this special occasion!" My mother says, smiling at Blue. We all raise our glasses of milk. "To a new member of our family!" We say in unison, clinking the glasses together. We drink, and then I start setting up the table. Three pancakes per plate, four plates, forks, knives, and syrup in the middle of the table. "Table's ready." I call over my shoulder, and everyone sits down. Then I notice my father is missing. "Where's Father?" I ask, looking at my mother curiously. "He went to go to the trial for Blue's parents." She says, smiling sweetly. I nod, and I wolf down my pancakes. I look at Blue, and I notice she's eyeing the extra pancakes. "Do you want seconds?" I ask, looking directly at Blue. She nods enthusiastically. I give her five more pancakes. She pours a little too much syrup on them, and then starts eating them. I clear my place, and I start doing the dishes. Blue comes over and hands me her plate. "Do you need help?" She asks, looking at the huge pile of dishes. "Yep! I'm fine!" I say, smiling.She doesn't look convinced, but she goes upstairs to get dressed. After thirty minutes, I finish up the dishes and I head upstairs to get dressed. I go into my room and pick out a red t-shirt, black jeans, white socks, black shoes, and a red hair tie. I put on the clothes and I pull my hair back into a ponytail. "Emerald!" Blue says entering the room. I look up. Blue is wearing a pink cami, black jeans, pink socks, and white shoes. "How do I look?" She asks, spinning in a slow circle. "You look great." I say enthusiastically. "This is the last outfit I had packed..." She says softly, then sighs. "Do you want to go clothes shopping?" I ask mischievously. She looks at me, then smiles. "Sure!" She says, her smile widening. I head downstairs, and I go to my mother. "Mother, Blue needs new clothes." I tell her, still smiling.  My mother jumps out of her chair, runs to her room, and a few minutes later she come out, fully dressed, and had taken a shower. "Let's go!" She says, pulling Blue and I outside to the car.
