Coming Home (Jace Norman fanfiction) (COMPLETED)

Chapter 7

So my binge watching session is finally over, it took me about 3 hours, but I did it! Henry Danger is life! My sister didn't even leave the room the entire time. I realize she's been awfully quiet. I pull out my earbuds, and set the tablet down. I walk over to her.
"Sammy?" I ask in a hushed tone. Her eyes appear to be closed. I look at the bright screen, it's her fan account now. She has the "photos of you" open. I see the same pic from her personal account repeated at least 10 times. I can't imagine the comments are any good. I tap her shoulder, she wakes up, startled.
"Uhh... Hey Kate!" She locks the ipad as quickly as she can, and plugs it in, setting it on the top of her desk. "I was just going to bed! Good night!" She practically dives into her bed, and pulls the covers over her head, avoiding anymore conversation. The situation is getting worse, and I don't even know her username. I'll have to guess. I open Instagram on my ipad and punch in, what I think, is her username. I guess close enough, and it pops up. I open the photos of her and check the comments on them. As I suspected, none of them are good. I frown. Sam's only 13. I can't stand the thought of her getting hurt, no matter how much she annoys me sometimes. I feel my eyes begin to water. I grad a tissue off my nightstand, and wipe my eyes. I pick up my phone.

K: you there? Ik its late, I'm sorry, i get it if u can't answer, but something happened :(

He replies instantly.

J: I'm here! What happened?! And dw its fine, stop apologizing! :p

K: ok I will i promise! :p
K: back to the serious stuff :( the hate is getting worse, I was watching tv on my ipad for a couple of hours, when I stopped, she had fallen asleep with her Instagram open.
K: people are reposting the selfie with so many different mean comments. She totally avoided me and pretended to be asleep, idk what to do :(

J: Idk what to say, that's insane, no one should be treated like that 😡
J: if it gets even worse, let me know please, ok?

K: I promise i will!

J: good

J: let's talk about something on a happier scale :)

K: ok. How was hanging out with your friends?

J: cool. Its nice to get sometime off :)

K: I can imagine! I'd love to have time off from school! :p

J: haha I bet

J: I'm off tomorrow actually, when's school done for you?

K: 3, but I probably won't be home until 3:30, why?

J: Wanna hang out then? We could go grab a smoothie or something

K: yeah that'd be cool
K: Would you mind if I bring my sister?

J: No not at all :)
J: cool. Go see if its cool with your parents, I'll see if my mom can pick you guys up at 4.

K: kk

Its later in the night, but I know my parents will still be up, dad probably on the computer looking up good deals on craigslist, while watching news on the tv. And my mom, either washing the dishes, or doing laundry. I look over at Sam.
"Sam. I know you're not asleep. Do you want to come hang out with me, and you know who, tomorrow?" I smile, I'm positive she can't resist, even though she's still really upset. She immediately throws her covers off.
"YES GIRL! Omg when did this happen?"
"Umm, like a minute ago, I think? I still have to ask mom and dad though."
"Let's go ask right now!" There's a huge grin on her face now. I'm glad. We both go downstairs and into the kitchen. Like I predicted, Dad's on the computer in the living room, while together mom's doing the dishes.
"Hey mom?"
"Yes?" She turns around to look at us.
"Can we go hang out with a friend tomorrow, after school? They said their mom can pick us up here at 4."
"Sounds fine." She smiles warmly at us. "Who's the friend?" I was dreading this question.
"You remember that friend of mine, the one that wanted to do acting, and he moved? Yeah, him."
"Oh okay, I'm glad you have a friend out here already! Just make sure you're home by 8, and text me if anything changes."
"Ok, thanks mom!" Sam, and I walk calmly back to our room. But I'm not calm at all. I feel like there's a 20 pound bowling ball rolling towards me, and I need to jump out of the way, but I can't. I make it to my room, before collapsing onto my bed. I'm just so excited. My sister starts giggling. I laugh. Then I realize, I'm supposed to text him back! There's a message on my phone from him.

J: My mom says its cool. Hbu?

K: my mom says its fine, just gotta be home by 8.

J: cool, I'll see you then, night ❤️

K: night, ttyt 😊

OH MY GOD. DID HE JUST USE A HEART? I'm dying. I'm literally positive I'm dying. My heart can't take this stress. Argh! Boys man. My sister looks up at me, since I've started hyperventilating and all. She sees the phone, cradled, actually, more or less crushed, in my hands. She hurries over and grabs it.
"Oh wow. He used a heart!" I think she was trying to yell, but it came out in a surprised
squeak. I don't even know how to describe it actually. I laugh.
"Congrats!" She says. She's beaming at me.
"Relax. We're just friends. He hasn't even seen me in person in two years!" Even though I'm saying it to Sam, I'm also mentally telling it to myself as well. I don't want to get my hopes up, just to have them crushed. I sigh. My sister has gone back to her bed, with the blankets pulled over her face. I figure I should probably sleep too, we do start school tomorrow after all! I plug in my phone to charge, set it on the nightstand, and turn off my lamp. I'm about go to sleep when my phone screen lights up. I pick it up, it's another message from him.

J: oh btw, what were you watching on tv? :p

K: uhhhh.... 😝

J: come on, tell me! 😉

K: ok fine! Henry Danger.....😁

J: thanks! and I'll tell them 😊

K: aha that'd be so cool! 😱 I'm going to go bed now, school tomorrow and stuff :(

J: night ttyt :)

I plug my phone back in, and collapse onto my pillow. I'm out in matter of seconds.
