I opened my still sleepy eyes trying to remember why I was in a house and not back on the road then I remembered ben saying, "Your name is Elizabeth Stone, you are 8 years old...you were in a car crash..." I put my hand up to my head trying to remember the crash but found nothing and looked around, it was still dark out and the moon shone through large glass doors. I slid off my bed and almost lost my balance but I managed to grab the side of my bed for support. I walked along the soft carpet and saw a dresser with a mirror so I went to it and looked into the mirror, my hair was messed up and I had dirt all over and what looked like a bruise on my cheekbone. I put my hand on the dresser and felt a paper where my hand was, I lifted up the paper and put it up to the window so I could read it with the moonlight. "Hey, Lizzy come downstairs when you get up so you can eat some breakfast with us" the moon was not a very good light so it took me a while to understand what it said.
I looked at the moon still high in the sky wondering why we would have breakfast right now, I put the paper down and as I got to the end of the dresser I saw a little flower painted on the wall, I thought I had seen the flower before but I couldn't remember where. I stroked my hand on it as I walked out of my room.outside of my room was completely dark except for a few windows letting in some moonlight, from the corner of my eye I saw a light downstairs so I decided to go towards it. I walked down a really big staircase and saw a room where the light came from, the door was opened a little bit to let a sliver of light escape.
I walked closer and I saw Eric standing outside the door, when he saw me he walked over wearing no shirt showing off his eight-pack and said, "Hey, let's go meet the rest of the boys" he pushed the door open saying in a loud voice, "Good morning to you all" making the two boys in the room groan, Eric just giggled to himself. One of the boys looked up from the book he was reading and looked me up and down while pushing up his glasses, the other boy opened his eyes and looked at me while taking out his earphones smiling. The room looked like an office with no desk, there was a bookshelf with hardly any books on and next to the shelf was a couch that the boy with the hoodie and earphones was on. there was a coffee table in the middle of the room and surrounding it was two couches on opposite sides of the coffee table and two chairs on the other sides of the table.Right above the coffee table was a chandelier, the boy with the glasses looked at Eric and said in a low voice that seemed to be full of secrets, "Where is Ben?" Eric shrugged and said with a wild smile, "He might still be in bed, Kile do you want to go get him up?" Kile sighed and stood up while putting his earphones in and he walked out of the room slowly. After Kyle left the room Eric walked over and sat on the couch,
Josh closed his eyes and sighed, "Eric do you have to be shirtless all the time?"
Eric frowned and said, "Come on Josh, I see you walking around the house without your shirt sometimes, so why can't I?" Josh sighed and pushed his glasses up, "ugh, fine"
he looked back to me and put on a smile, "Well Lizzy, you have been gone a little while, welcome back"
Kile and Ben came into the room, I watched as Kyle went back to his seat and closed his eyes. Ben rubbed his eyes and he was shirtless showing his six-pack, he yawned and sat down on a couch and pulled a blanket over his head. Josh came to me and said, "Lizzy, you are going to go to school with me and tomorrow you will go with Eric, you will go with Kile the next day..." Kile looked at us and took his earphones out, Ben opened his eyes and sat up, and Eric looked at Josh with a confuzed experesion, "and you will go with Ben the last day, and we will continue with you going with me again" he looked at me with his dark eyes, and I said in a whisper, "Does it bother you that I came back?" he looked at me in shock and said back in a whisper, "No I'm very glad that you came back, we missed you, Ben and Kile have been looking for you the whole time and now their search is finished"
I looked over to Ben and when he cought my eye he smiled shyly and rubbed his head.Josh gave me a hug and he smelled like peony flower, he was also wearing a black leather jacket. "Why don't we just let her go to her school during school hours?" Eric said breaking the silence, Josh looked at him and said, "You know why, and after a while we might let her go to her school" Eric smiled and said while cracking his knuckles, "This will be fun" I looked over at Ben and Kile they both seemed a little confused but just shrugged it off. Josh looked back to me and said, "Do you want breakfast?" I nodded and he led me out of the room.
While we walked I folded my hands behind my back and kept quiet. I glanced back to see Eric punch Ben in the arm but I almost crashed into Josh so I decided to look at the door we were approaching. When Josh turned on the light I squinted my eyes to the brightness, I looked around and there was a huge bar and a kitchen behind it.
By the other side of the room, there was a huge kitchen table with candles in the middle and some napkins. I glanced up at the bright light and saw a chandelier, swinging just a little bit. "Wow" I whispered as Josh led me to one of the bar stools. The countertop was white marble with black dots in it, Josh went around to the other side of the bar while the other boys took a seat on the bar stools. Josh pulled out a box of cereal and a container of milk and placed a small black bowl in front of me. I grabbed the box of cereal and dumped some into my bowl, I passed it to Kile and put some milk in my bowl. Eric passed me a spoon but it went flying past me and hit the hard tile floor, all of the boys looked at me and Ben scowled at Eric but he just shrugged, "Oh sorry" I whispered. I turned around to get the spoon off the floor and my foot got caught on the side of the stool and I slipped off, I closed my eyes and squealed while bringing my hands up to my chest.
I felt a hand grab my stomach making the breath get knocked out of me. As I opened my eyes I saw the room spinning then it stopped and I was on Kile's lap, and his arm was wrapped around my waist.
"Are you okay?" Kile said in a husky voice, I glanced up to look him in the face and realized that his eyes were a pretty brown, "Yah I am" I said in a weak voice, "That's good" he said as he placed me back on my stool, he reached down to the floor and grabbed my spoon and placed it in my bowl. I looked at him and smiled surprised that he was able to carry me that easy. Taking bites out of my food I realized that Eric was eating while watching me from the corner of his eyes.
When I scooped up the last bite I got off my stool to put my bowl in the sink. As I turned the corner of the bar Eric appeared in front of me and I crashed into him and fell to the floor leaving my bowl sliding across the floor. I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head as it hit the floor, I reached up and touched the back of my head, "Ow, that hurt"
Kile got off his stool but Ben ran over to me faster, he helped me up and turned to Eric, "Eric, what's your problem?!" he touched the back of my head while saying, "are you okay?" I nodded.When his hand touched the bruise on the back of my head I remembered a boy that looked like me but older picking me up from the ground to carry me into the house, he placed me onto the couch and opened the medical cupboard and grabbed a band-aid out and ever so gently placed it on my knee and kissed my forehead. I came back to the present and all of the boys were looking at me except for Josh
-he was grabbing my dish that went sliding towards the wall-
I looked back at Ben and he said, "What's wrong? Are you okay?" I looked at him and smiled while saying, "yeah I'm fine". He looked down at the floor and sighed while saying, "Well you better get ready to go to school with Josh" I looked at him and said, "But it's still dark outside" "Ya, don't you remember?" I looked at him confused and shook my head so Ben continued, "The sun only shines five hours a day" I quickly remembered about north Korea's failed ecperament and nodded. I looked at Josh and said, "Okay" Josh came over to me and lead me out of the kitchen while saying,
"Eric you have kitchen duty this morning!" as we went up the east staircase we heard Eric saying, "Aww man!" when we got to Josh's room he opened the door and I looked in and the room was huge.
