If Only

The Suprise

It's the day after school ended and I'm on my way to the library. I spend a lot of time here picking out book. I love the library it has so many peoples lives inside it's walls.

After I find my book I check out, and start the walk home. It's not a far walk only a few miles but with four books in your hands and it's all up hill it's not that peaceful. When I got home I went up to my room and started to reading. When I got to the last chapter I looked at my phone it was 7:37pm I've been reading for hours. I decided to go to bed early and snuggled under the covers being overtaken by the blackness of sleep.

When I woke up I put on sweatpants and a tee shirt and decided to go on a walk. I ended up walking to Megan's house we hung  out till 11:00 I had to go home because I had therapy later. None of my friends know about the therapy and I don't want that to change.

After I showered and got changed my mother took me to therapy. It was a usual session. Afterwards the therapist took my mother aside and talked to her in a whisper. I heard the word visit and knew I'd be back soon. After therapy my mom took me to the library to return my book, and then we went home. I spent the rest of the day reading. 

I woke up the next day and went downstairs for breakfast my mother was on the phone but quickly hung up. She came over to me and asked if I wanted to go to the mall saying she had a few errands to run.  I said fine and went to get dressed.

When we were at the mall my mom got some birthday presents for my sister and brother. Their birthdays were only a week apart. But they were born in different years. And their birthdays were coming up soon. After that we went to Macy's.  I got a pair of jeans and a new sweatshirt. By the time we left the mall it was three in the afternoon.

There was something going on I could tell by the look on my moms face. When we got home my sibling were at their friends houses and Teresa was with dad at the park. I went upstairs to my room and ran to my closet to put my stuff away. I wanted to go for a walk. When I came out of my closet something was off. I looked over at my bed and my blanket was not in the position I left it in. It was in a ball. I went over to move it and out popped Willow. I embraced her in a hug.

By the time I let Willow go we were both crying.  I had missed her so much. I ran down stairs with Willow close behind and engulfed my mom in a hug. I kept thanking her but she said to thank the therapists it was  her idea. I asked her if this was a dream. She said it was real!

Willow and I spent the rest of the day out side playing tag and watching the clouds.
