It was around 10:00 a.m. when Henry woke up. He rubbed his eyes then sat up. He looked over to his left expecting to see me there. He had a shocked look on his face. "Where is she?" He asked himself. He got up and looked around my room until he spotted the note. He opened it and read what it said. "Aw man. I didn't even get to tell her goodbye." He said with a sad tone. "I better give this to her sister." He walked downstairs to see my sister eating breakfast. She looked up and saw him. "Oh hey Henry. Where's Shayla?" She asked. "She's not here." He said while looking at the ground. "What do you mean?" She had a worried tone. Henry walked over to her and gave her the note. "She left this." My sister opened up the note and started to read it. "Wow. That's short notice." "If your aunt is sick, why didn't Shayla tell you so you could go and help her?" "My aunt Kimberly doesn't really like me. Every time we go down there for reunions or something she always says stuff like, when are you going to get a job and make a living? When are you going to start acting like an adult? When are you going to grow up and understand that you can't live in this imaginary world you think is real? And things like that. She's not very nice to Shayla either unless she needs help. But, at least Shayla is nice enough to go down there and help her cause God knows I won't." She said with a chuckle. "She's very sweet. That's one of the reasons why I love her. I may be a bully but when someone needs help she's always there to help them even when she's with me. Mean too her or not she's usually there." "Awe. You too are so cute together." My sister said making Henry blush. "Well, we're not that cute." He said but obviously was lying. "Haha, you even sound like her." My sister laughed. "That's exactly what she says when I tell her how cute you guys are." Henry laughed a little. "I'm going to miss her." He said. "Me too."
Meanwhile....
I woke up to this loud noise. It sounded like crunching. I got up and walked out of the room. I walked into a few rooms before I found where the sound was coming from. When I turned the corner I found Pennywise biting into the flesh of a child. I wanted to vomit. As I walked closer the floor made a creaking noise. Pennywise stopped munching and slowly turned his head. Without making a sound I ran back to the mattress and acted like I was asleep. I heard him walk into the room. He saw me. I'm gonna die. I'm gonna die. I thought to myself. But instead he laid on the mattress with me. He put his arm around me and started to sniff my hair. I wanted him to stop so I acted like I just woke up. "Huh? What are you doing?" I asked him. "Nothing. You just smell nice." "Um...thanks." I said not sure how to respond. He kissed me gently on my cheek. I blushed a little. "How long have you been awake?" I asked him. "About an hour and a half maybe." He said. "Oh. Um...cool." I looked down at the mattress. "Are you okay?" "Yeah. Totally." I said as short as I could. "You sure? Cause you don't look happy." "Trust me. I'm good." I tried to convince him. He wrapped his arm around my waist and kissed my cheek again. So I wouldn't get slapped I wrapped my arms around his stomach and rested my head on his chest. "I love you." He said. My eyes got wide. I didn't know how to respond. If I didn't tell him I loved him I would probably get punched. But if I said I loved him and he found out I was lying then I would probably get punched. Not knowing what to say I just replied, "You do?" "Of course I do." He said. "Do you love me?" I froze. "Um...yeah. W..why wouldn't I?" I asked him hoping that this conversation would end. He chuckled and hugged me tighter. My hands started to shake a little. But I was able to control it for now. When Pennywise finally released me I stood up and my stomach growled. "S**t." I whispered. "Are you hungry?" "Yes. But please don't tell me I have to eat a child." I begged him. "You're so cute when you beg. I guess you don't. But what else are you supposed to eat?" "Um...well when I get hungry how about this, if I want or need to we go to my house so I can take a shower when my sister isn't there and then I can get some food somewhere?" Pennywise looked at me with a you really think I'm going to let you do that look. "And you can watch me when I get the food and make sure I don't do anything stupid like try to runoff or try to get help." I said with a smile. He sat there for a minute. Then he finally looked up. "Okay then. But if you do anything stupid you will only have children to eat." I ran to him and hugged him tightly almost making him fall over. "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!" I said with a very joyful tone. He laughed and hugged me back. I ran to grab a pair of clothes and we headed to my house.
