Whole World of Wishes

Chapter 5 ( Jinx)

I wake up and it all seems to me like a normal day but I know it's not. Slowly the events of yesterday flood back into my mind. Out of the drowsiness of my sleep I roll over and fall of of bed. That's when I realize that I was in a bunk bed and Joan was sleeping at to bottom. My falling off of the bed startles Joan. She looks at me and I look at her, we don't Speak for what feels like forever. Then in a quiet voice Joan said
"I'm sorry "
"For what " I exclaimed
"Everything" she whispers back to me and then bursts into tears, she gets out of bed and exits the room. And I sit there in my zebra striped pajamas, as confused as ever.

After brushing my hair and teeth and putting on some clothes I quickly leave the room. What I see amazes me, we were in some sort of castle it was huge. To my right I see two big elevators with people flooding into them and the doors creak shut and everyone is gone. I look to the left and there is this huge staircase. I don't know where to go so I start walking down the steps. One by one, I counted each step and when I got to 43 I hear a little scream of excitement. Moments later I see Max was sitting on the rails sliding faster and faster at every turn.
" Come on" he said
"It's a lot faster then walking". My mind was was saying no but the rest of me was saying yes. So I wait for Max to pass, then I lift up my leg and put it on top of the rail.
"It's like riding a horse " sais Max from down below. Then he sais some thing that I can't hear because he's already gone so far down the stairs. I swiftly push my self up onto the railing. And then I let go.

The moment I let go was the most regretful moment of my life, as my fingers let go of the railing I slid forward, faster, and faster. A moment later I was at the bottom of the stairs. This was not good, I close my eyes and brace for the landing.
"Ah" I had landed at the bottom with a thud and a little scream. I look up and see the mess I've made. The carpet was torn off the stairs and all these people with waiter clothes were staring at me.
"I'm so sorry " I blurt out. A few moments later they return to doing whatever they were doing before. I look over at Max and he starts laughing, and that was when I realizes that my Mom (Joan) was standing behind me, holding some weird guys hand.
" I have something to tell you, I'm getting married ". Our jaws dropped.
