The Hidden Half

Chapter Two

  We were hiding in a hole, in the tree when I heard something call out my name. "Shayleigh?" It sounded exactly like Jack's voice this time. "Shayleigh, where are you?" I came out of hiding to investigate who was calling my name. I looked around and saw that jack was standing on top of a big rock calling out my name. I said, "Jack over here." Jack said, "Where have you been? I've been at your house looking all over for you."

"Oh, umm, I just spent the night in my treehouse, and I've been adventuring in the woods, where I found this cute magical rabbit named Thorn," I regretfully said. "Oops I shouldn't have told you that."  
Jack asked, "are you sure you don't need me to get you some professional help?" "Did you sleep well last night? You not get good enough sleep?
"Jack."
"You been doing drugs Shayleigh ?"
"Jack stop."
"Is that weed I smell?"
"That's a skun-"
"Maybe you fell out of the treehouse and hit your head"
"JACK STOP" I'm not crazy, jack! I know what I'm talking about!

Jack hesitantly replied, "Alright, because if I heard you tell me correctly , you said that you spent the night in your treehouse, which does have quite a bit of mold" " and that when you woke up, you met a talking , magical rabbit."
"Yeah, I guess that does kind of make me sound crazy. But I'm serious!"
"Sorry Shaliegh, I was just messing with you."
  "But in all seriousness, did you hear me talking to anyone else before you arrived?"
  Jack replied saying, "Yeah, i heard you talking to someone. Who were you talking to, yourself??
I rewarded Jack with a hard punch to his gut for saying that.
"Hey! That isn't funny, plenty of kids at school already think that and tease me for it!"
"Oh. Crap. I'm sorry Shaliegh."
I don't care.. Let's just go to my house, I haven't had any breakfast yet." I said. "That's a good idea. Me neither." Jack said.

  So I made it home,  to find out that my parents were about to kill me. They were worried about me so bad, that my mom was crying and about to call the cops about me. I asked them, "what's wrong? Why are you crying?" My dad was yelling at me, asking, "Why did you not come home last night?! You had us worried sick!! Where were you!?" I replied in a kinda scared tone, "I guess I kinda fell asleep in my treehouse while looking at the stars last night."

  My dad furiously replied, "SO WHAT I'M HEARING, IS THAT YOU FELL ASLEEP IN YOUR TREEHOUSE, AND DIDN'T TELL ME, OR YOUR MOTHER THAT YOU WERE IN THE WOODS ALONE?!" Right then, I started crying, because of how mad at me he was, and i was scared. I then replied, "I'm sorry! How was I supposed to know that I was asleep!?

  "I tried to tell you guys that I was going in the woods to look at stars from my treehouse, but you guys didn't hear me!" My dad had calmed down a little bit, but not completely. He replied to me by saying, " SHAYLIEGH, YOU'RE GROUNDED!" I felt blood rushing to my head. I clenched my fist, grit my teeth,and stormed up the stairs knowing that if I said anything it would only make it worse.
