If it's fate

Part 17: don't go

"Don't go, I'm sorry!"
I awake from my dream. I'm terrified and I'm sweating heavily. I look to see what time it is 3:23 am. I get off my bed and look out the window. The moonlight radiates through my room, but the words, "don't go, I'm sorry!" echo through my mind. I grab my towel and walk to the shower. I turn the water on. I can't recall my dream, and what exactly happened, but the words are fresh in my mind. I stayed in the shower for a while and let the water run. I finally get out of the shower and it's 4:11 am.
I get dressed and lay on my bed, looking at my ceiling. "What was that dream for?" My eyes started to close and I was off to sleep again.

I awake again but to the sound of guests downstairs. I look at the time 9:13. I walked downstairs to see who it was. Two small people run towards me.
"Aunty, why are you here?
"Well cause no one is home in the other house."
"Aunty are you happy to see me?" Says the other.
"Of course, Mina," I say picking her up.
"Where's Wendy?"
"Mommy is helping grandma cook," says Mino.
"Where's Mark?" I say putting Mina down.
"He's still sleeping." Says Mino.
"Should we wake him?"
"Okay!" They say excitedly.
We all walk upstairs and go into Mark's rooms very quietly.
"Mino, Mina go!" I say whispering.
They both ran onto Mark's bed and landed on him. Mark awakens.
"When did you guys come?" Mark asks half asleep.
"Well, we came an hour ago, to be exact!" Mina says standing on Mark's bed.
"Are you smart!" Mark says, grabbing both Mina and Mino. Tickling them.
I just watch from the doorway and laugh.
"Kids let's eat!" I hear Wendy shouting from downstairs.
"Let's go Mino, Mina," I say showing them the way.

I walk downstairs with the kids. My parents and Wendy are already seated. I help the kids onto the chairs. And Mark comes down and sits down.
"Okay, eat," my mom says.

"So when is Marco coming home Wendy?" My dad asks.

"He's going to be back in 3 weeks," Wendy says.

"That's good, kids are happy to see daddy soon?" My mom asks.
"Yeah, I will hug daddy tight when he comes home," Mina says.
"I will play gun with dad." Says Mino.
We all say awe and are in awe. The twins are a blessing to our family. They always seem to make us smile.
We finish eating and I head upstairs. 

Message from Leo*
Leo: hey
Me: heyy
Leo: you want to meet today?
Me: yeah sure
Leo: 3?
Me: ok.

I have to go home, to get changed and clean the house before Ella comes home. I head downstairs and my mom is in the backyard with Wendy and the twins. I walk towards them.
"Hey mom, I'm leaving, I'm going to Ella's house."
My dad hears and comes out of his workshop.
"Bye sweetie, get home safely," he says.
"Bye," I say waving. "bye mom, Wendy, Mino Mina."
"See you later aunty," Mina says.
"Can Aunty have a hug?"
Mino and Mina come at me with full speed and knock me down. Easy guys. I get up and kiss them goodbye.
"Okay bye," I say going back inside.
I walk upstairs again and grab the box and some other stuff. I then go back downstairs again. And spot Mark.
"Bye Mark... Mark?" I say.
"HUh? Yeah Bye." Mark says playing video games. 

I walk out and the weather is perfect. I walk down to my house with many things in my hand. Dropping some things and having to pick them up, took me longer to get home.

I finally got home and went inside. The house is silent. I take my things to my room and come back downstairs.
"This place needs to be wiped down, Ella is gonna yell at me if she sees dust."
I dust every corner of the house. I wipe the counter and shelves. I sweep and mop the floor.
I even clean the windows. Inside and outside the house. By the time I'm done, it's already 1.
"Ella is probably going to be hungry when she's back." 

I quickly make fried rice and cut some fruits. I put the food in containers and put it in the fridge. I had to do the dishes so it took an extra 5 mins. When I finish doing all the chores it's already 1:45 pm. I go upstairs to my room. And open my closet.
"What should I wear?"
I grab all my good clothes and put them on my bed.
"Should I wear jeans?"
I finally decided on what I should wear. Jeans and a long black sleeve. I needed to shower cause I smelled like the living definition of fried. I quickly shower and in the process of drying my hair. I got a message from Leo.
