I sit in my hospital bed with Robbie. He tells me that I was out for a day and 5 hours. He also gives me the homework that I have missed for the past few days. There is then a knock at my door.
"Come in!" I say. André, Beck, Tori, and Jade walk into the room.
"Hey Little Red." André says. " How you feeling?" "Better, my stomach and my back still hurt."
"Well, we have a real treat for you." Beck says.
"What is it?" I ask. André and Beck nod towards Tori and Jade. They both slowly pull something from behind their backs. I gasp.
"We are going to have a horror movie marathon!" Tori exclaims. "Several hours of ghost, demons, zombies, vampires, werewolves, and lots more!"
"Then, to calm our nerves down we are going to watch 'I Married My Mom'!" Jade says.
"YAY!" I scream. I almost begin to jump on the bed, but I don't because of what the doctors told me. "Well, what are you waiting for? Let's start this marathon!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once the marathons were over, everyone left. Except for Robbie.
"Are you still scared?" he asks.
"Only a little," I say. "Could you come over and comfort me?" He then gets up from the couch that he is on and comes to my bed. I scot up a little so he can sit behind me. He then wraps his arms around me.
"You feel safe now?"
"Yes." I say, a wide smile on my face.
"Good." We sit in silence for awhile. Every now and then Robbie calls my name so I turn around. He then would give me a kiss. In the middle of one our silences the door swings open and I scream.
"Shhh," Robbie says running his hand through my hair."It was just your brother."
"Riley!" I scream. "Why would you do that!?!?"
"Sorry?" he says his voice with a hint of confusion. "I won't do it again?"
"Good!" I scream.
"We had a horror movie marathon," Robbie explained. "She's a little jumpy."
"Ok..."
"Well, I should go." Robbie slowly begins to get off the bed. But I grab his arm.
"Please stay a little longer." I say.
"No, my mom is probably worried about me. But I will be back tomorrow. I promise." He bends down and kiss me on my forehead. I wave my hand good-bye as Robbie leaves the room.
"So, is he your new boyfriend?" Riley asks. I shrug.
"Maybe." I say with a smile.
"Well if he is can I beat him up if he breaks your heart?" A smile comes across Riley's face. I don't answer his question. I just get up from my bed and hug my brother.
