Late last night Alexander returned home for the night with the promise to return in the morning to come pick me up for school. I was done getting ready early so dad asked me to check on Sam who was staying home from school with a cold since dad had to head out to the garage earlier.
“Hey, you need anything before I head out?” I ask, peeking my head into Sam’s room. He was curled up in bed under an abundance of blankets, breathing out of his mouth and looking half alive.
“Can you kill me?”
“Sorry no can do,” I reply with a helpless shrug.
“Then you’re useless to me,” he replies making me chuckle in response.
“Alright, if you need anything call cause dad just left,” I tell him before letting him go back to sleep, closing the door behind me as I leave. Grabbing my backpack from my bed
