"Dont you dare! Hunter!" One of the boys screamed as we passed by.
"Sparrow? What's going on?" Adnia said opening the door. "Sparrow, stop, don't move." She rushed over to sparrow who was going to jump over the window.
"Hunter he... I can't let him do that! Let go of me Adnia. LET GO OF-" I saw it with my own eyes. He jerked away of her shaky hand and his foot slipped.
"Sparrow!" Adnia shouted and looked over the window.
"Spar. It was only a game. I didn't want you to jump." Hunter said.
"What do we do?!" Hunter shouted before he bursted into tears.
"We.. tell aunt. Mom does not need anymore weight. She started drinking ever since dad left!"
" Is he dead?" My computer asked.
"I ... I hope not."
■ ■ ■
"Aunt... Sparrow...jumped off the window." Adnia said. She was about to cry. I don't get it. The kids are like adults and the adults are like little kids who don't know how to behave.
"What? Oh. I told Dyhnne that we needed to put him in the mental hospital." She said not looking at us.
" IT WASN'T HIS FAULT!" Hunter screamed. "It was mine" he looked at his brothers empty room.
"Ok. Now shoo" Aunt said looking at her phone.
"Now what?" Hunter asked.
"I... dont know." Adnia repsponeded.
"What did you have to make him to that Hunter?" She asked. I still stayed quiet.
"I said I was going into the road... I walked over to it and then it happened. "
"He must really care about you" my computer said.
"Sure" Hunter looked down.
The next thing was a miracle.
" I'm so sorry Adnia, mom, dad. Hunter. Although my whole body hurts. I think I'm fine. Maybe a concussion. Ahhh lightheaded."
"I can still hear his bad jokes." Hunter said.
"Its not a joke! Look!" Adnia's eyes lit up.
"Sparrow?! O my god. I thought you died!"
"Nah... hah just passed out for bit." He said chuckling.
"How are you alive?!" Hunter said.
"Dont ask me!" Sparrow said.
"Hey, why did you drop the dish earlier today?" Adnia asked.
" I saw dad. But I didn't know how. So I dropped it in shock " he explained.
" that's odd. If you seen it and mom didn't. Was he still there when mom turned around?" She asked.
"Yes" Sparrow looked at something behind them.
"What?" Hunter asked
"Do you think he's dead? If no one else had seen him, and I'm not delusional. It's explainable" Sparrow confessed.
"I do not know" I said. I feel like I'm not here. But I keep listening to their theory.
" haha ok enough surprised for today. Let's go and have fun. Lizz what do you want to do?" Hunter asked smiling.
"Do not ask me" my computer beeped slowly.
All three looked at each other, and smiled.
"I got Lizz! Go ahead and go!" Adnia grabbed my chair and raced down the ramp beside the stairs.
We rode past the front gate, down into a slope.
"Close your eyes... or don't scream." She said,she was getting smaller and smaller, the chair got out of control.
I heard Hunter and Sparrow laughing.
I wanted to scream. They were being so nice, all they wanted to do was bully me.
No one like me can live on peace. I felt something warm and fuzzy come all over me. It smelled familiar: marigolds.
I started to cry. Marigolds? The boy, I swear was running with me. Holding marigolds, in clear purple vases.
I prayed that the last smell I would have my last breath would be the sweet smell of marigolds, and at least see that little boy again. Is this it? Am I going to die? I closed my eyes, I focused all of my energy to just... try... and move. The boy jumped with his hand out wanting me to follow, and then "mom" came. She smiled and had a very pretty dress on. It was swaying in the wind, it was a light gold. She's so pretty. I tried to capture the smell of her perfume, everyone laughing, all the emotions surrounding me, just... move!
You have to live, longer.
h..help...help.HELP. it feels weird. My throat vibrating.. it has never done this before.
"Thank, You, Boy, Mom. I will see you soon."
Tears start rushing down my face. Not because I was scared, but because I talked, actually used my voice, not this computer.
I guess it's not time yet, huh. My eyes open.. I have stopped moving. My eyes hurt from crying. I can feel my legs, they hurt.
So do my arms, I can feel pain. Is this good? Have I died? No one is here, in fact, i'm somewhere else.
