Hidden Talents

Chapter 1

"TAYLOR, TAYLOR WAKE UP!!" my eight year old sister Lindsey screamed while jumping on my bed. "Lindsey its 5 am and it's Saturday, go back to bed" I moaned. "I can't sleep there are too many distractions in my room." she whispered. "sigh fine you can sleep in here but only for today." I said. As i turned over she jumped on the bed knocking me off onto the floor. "oops sorry", she said while giggling. "it's not funny just go to sleep", I moaned.

When I woke up later that day I rose to find Lindsey snoring happily next to me holding her favorite stuffed animal which she named fluffy. Fluffy is Lindsey's bear. She came up with the name because he is very fat and soft but has a lot of hair. She can never sleep without him.

I quietly got out of bed trying not to wake her, grabbed my slippers and my robe and went downstairs to make breakfast. When I walked into the kitchen there was a note lying on the table. It said:

Morning my sleeping beauty!!

I had to go to work early today, and won't be home until 8 tonight,

I'm leaving you in charge of Lindsey for the day,

Please make sure she doesn't get into any mischief

Love Mom

P.S Lindsey has a dentist appointment at four please remind her!! And please take her for me thanks.

"Well that's great" I sighed. "Oh well I guess I have to call Sarah and cancel our plans today."

Sarah is my best friend, we have known each other since we were in preschool. We were assigned together to make a painting and we got the paint all over ourselves instead of the canvas. We had to stay in during recess and clean up our mess. We have been best friends ever since.

"Hello?"

"Hey Sarah"

"Hey whats up?"

"Um i can't go to the mall today, i have to take Lindsey to the dentist."

"What?!?! but we were going to see the concert today! We have been waiting to go to this concert for months!!"

"Yeh i know, but she has to go." "maybe next time ok?"

"Sigh ok, bye"

"Bye"

Just then Lindsey walks into the kitchen and stares at me blankly. "What?" i said "Nothing" she said shyly. "You have a dentist appointment today at four so mom wants me to take you." "Oh ok" she said with dissapointment in her tone. "Umm is something wrong?" i asked. "No im fine" she said with the same dissapointment in her tone. "Ok" i said curiously. "Ill be in my room" she said and walked off glum. I knew something was wrong, so i went upstairs to talk to her.

 As i was about to knock on her door i heard singing and the piano in the study playing. I hid behind the door and listened to the voice and music playing inside. It didnt sound like my sister at all, but when i cracked the door open to take a peek, it was Lindsey making the music. She looked happy and normal. She was expressing her feeling's in the song Home by Chris Daughtry.

"Well im going home, but to a place where i belong, where your love has always been enough for me."

"Im not running from, but i think you got me all wrong, dont regret this life just for me."

"But these face and these places are getting old, so im going home."

While i was listening to her sing i accidently leaned onto the door and fell into the room. She got up startled and looked at me. I got up and didnt know what to say to her, i wanted to say something but didnt. She quickly ran out of the room and i tried to stop her but she got past me.
