Carnival

~Previously~

"Hello?" You sighed.

"Y/n?" They said.

"Who is this?" You asked.

"This is James... I'm your brother." He said.

~Now~

"Hello?" You heard through the phone. You were silent for a while.

"Look, I'm sorry. I did not mean to take you off guard, I just wanted to find out who you were." He said.

Without saying anything you hung up and thought through what exactly just happened.

"Brother?" You whispered to yourself.

You looked at your phone and debated calling the number back. Right as you went to hit the call button someone barged into your room.

"Have you seen my black cardigan?" Mariana asked.

"Jeez Mariana. Have you ever heard of knocking? You almost gave me a heart attack." You said.

"Oh, sorry. Have you seen it?" She asked.

"The last place I saw it was on top of the dryer." You said.

"Thanks." She said walking out.

You stared at your phone debating whether to call back or not. Just then another person barges in.

"Seriously, what if I had been changing?!" You yelled.

"I just came to tell you that Dylan was here." Jude said in a hushed tone.

"I'm sorry jude. Uh, thank you." You stood and walked downstairs.

"Hey." You said seeing Dylan standing in the living room.

"Hey. I just came to see if you wanted to hang out." He asked.

"Um, yeah. What do you wanna do?" You asked.

"Uh, the carnival's in town. We could do that." He said.

"Yeah, let me ask my moms." You said before walking away.

"Hey mom, I was wondering if I could go to the carnival with Dylan?" You asked.

"That should be fine but you need to take one of your siblings." She said.

"Seriously?" You sighed.

"Yes, seriously. Its going to get dark soon, and you're 14." She said.

"Moms right." Momma said walking in.

"Fine." You sighed.

You asked Mariana, and she said no. You then asked Brandon, who also said no. Your next resort was Jesus'. The only problem with that is the fact that Jesus' will watch your every move. He will be sure that you and Dylan don't touch the entire night.

"Jesus', moms say I need a chaperone for me and Dylan at the carnival. Will you come?" You asked.

"Sure." He said.

"Wait." You said. "You can not be the over protective big brother. You can do your thing, and we will do ours. Got it?" You warned.

"Okay." He said.

"I mean it Jesus'." You said walking with him.

"I promise." He said.

"Okay. Dylan's downstairs, I'll be down in a second." You said stepping into your room.

You got your phone out and sent a text to "James".

I want to talk, but it will have to wait. I will get back to you later. This better not be some kind of prank.

And...send.

You put your phone in your back pocket, grabbed a jacket, and headed downstairs.

You passed by Jude in his bedroom.

"Hey Jude. Do you wanna go to the carnival?" You asked.

"I don't know..." He asked.

"Hey, I know you miss Callie and I get it. Maybe this will get things off your mind." You said.

"Okay. I guess it could be fun."

"We could even invite Conner, if you want." You offered.

"Yeah." He said.

Mariana had changed her mind about going and Conner said yes, so you swung by his house on the way.

Everyone kind of split up once you got there.

Mariana and Jesus, Jude and Conner, you and Dylan.

At the end everyone came back together and rode a ride together.

You and Dylan said good night, Conner went home, and you and your siblings did as well.

It was nice doing something with Conner again, even if you didn't spend too much time with him.

You were also happy that Jesus' was cool, and didn't go all "big brother" on you.

You lay in bed thinking about everything going on in your life righright now.

As you lay there, you hear a knock and moms come in after.

"We came to say good night, and we have good news." Mama said.

"Okay?" You said.

"We're gonna take you to see Hannah this saturday." Mom said.

You sat there for a moment realizing you haven't thought about Hannah recently, and you felt bad.

"I thoughts you'd be more excited." Mama said.

"I'm excited, trust me, I am." You said.

"I want you to remember that Hannah is still unconscious. I don't want you to get your hopes up, okay?" Mom said.

"Yeah, yeah I know." You sighed.

"I love you." Mom said hugging you and kissing your forehead. Momma did the same.

"I love you guys too." You said.

After they were gone you were mad. You felt like a terrible friend. You hadn't thought about Hannah since yesterday, or the day before.

You took out your phone and pulled up James' number. After a long debate you hit call.
