Chapter 18: An Old Enemy Returns I quietly crept through the backyard in search of my target. I kept alert as I made my way around the bushes and trees that decorated the backyard. I checked every bush and looked up in every tree for signs of a certain clown that was currently hiding from me. The last five minutes replayed in my mind as I continued hunting for the sneaky little clown. Jack thought it would be funny to create some water guns filled with ice-cold water. I was laying face down on my bed lost in thought. Suddenly I was assaulted by freezing cold water hitting my behind. I squealed in surprise as I shot into a sitting position

Chapter 17: To Ask a Question I yawned as I made my way down to the kitchen to grab a cup of coffee. Coffee was about the only way I could make myself stay up in the morning to do schoolwork. I sighed as I poured a generous cup full of the hot black liquid. I added some cream and sugar to take away from the bitterness and took a sip. I sat down at the table as I sipped my coffee and thought about today. Today is Valentine’s Day and I was unsure whether or not to act on it. I knew who I wanted to be my Valentine but I was scared to make a move. I had been contemplating on taking a chance and moving my relationship with Jack to the next

Chapter 16: Reciprocated Feelings? I hurriedly packed the snow in my hands into a tight ball and looked up from my hiding spot to see if I could spot my target. I sat high up in a snow covered tree and used my white snow clothes as camouflage. Tentatively peeking around the trunk of the tree, I looked for any signs of a certain clown that might be wondering around looking for me. After waiting in my spot for a good ten minutes my patience was finally rewarded when I heard footsteps and Jack calling out my name. A sly grin spread across my face as I watched Jack walking around the backyard. 'Just a little closer' I thought to myself as I wa

Chapter 15: What Is Love! I sighed absent-mindedly as I stirred the contents of my bowl of cereal. I rested my head on my hand as I stared with a blank look at my breakfast. I was lost in thought; thinking over my feelings for Jack. My feelings aren't the same as they were years ago, they've changed since I've gotten older. I was so absorbed in my thoughts I didn't notice my mother take a seat in front of me. "What's on your mind Sweetheart? You look like you're thinking too hard about something" said my mother in a curious voice. I snapped out of my thoughts at the sound of her voice. I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Just thinking abou

Chapter 14: Halloween The morning sun coated my body in a warm embrace that helped to fight off the chilly Autumn air. The breeze swept through the tops of the trees and plucked the loose leaves and carried them away. The rays of the sun peeked through the cover of trees that hung over my head as I laid on the hammock in the backyard. I quietly listened to the chatter of the birds in the trees around me. The morning was peaceful and filled me with comfort. All my problems melted away and left me with a sense of calm and peace. I felt tired and wanted to take a nap on the hammock. I closed my eyes and turned over on my stomach with my fore

Chapter 13: The Lesson Begins I breathed heavily as I raced through the house as fast as I could. I leapt over the furniture as I made my way to the front door. 'All I have to do is make it to the front door and I'm free' I thought to myself as the door came into view. I looked behind me to see where my pursuer was but I did not see him anywhere. Relief flooded my body as I thought smugly to myself that I managed to give him the slip. I turned back in front to the door only to smash into something....or someone. I groaned as looked up to see that I had collided with my pursuer. I had run right into Jack, who seemed to be unaffected by the i

Chapter 12: A Date! I was sitting at the table for breakfast with my mother, who was reading the newspaper. I looked up from my cereal and glanced at the newspaper. In the local events column was an announcement that a carnival was in town this weekend. I've never been to a carnival before. I got excited at the thought of going and experiencing one. "Hey Mom, can I go to the carnival that's going to be in town this weekend? I've never been to one before" I said in an excited voice. My mother looked up from her newspaper and smiled. "I don't see why not. Maybe you can spend the day there and your father and I can spend some time together" s

Chapter 11: A Wish for Wings It has been three and a half years since my surgery and I’m almost fifteen now. My hair has completely grown back and I am feeling well now. The headaches, fatigue, dizziness, and nausea are gone. I’m doing better in school and have been able to handle the bullying. I can finally start living my life. I sighed in boredom as I lay on the bed. I glanced over at the clock to see it is 10:32am. I sat up on the bed and saw Jack sitting on the floor with a bored look on his face. “Jack I’m bored~” I said in an in a whiney voice. “Want to go to the park? I need some fresh air,”

Chapter 10: Medal of Honor It has been a little over four weeks since my surgery and I can go back to school. I groaned as I woke up early to get ready for school. I opened my eyes and stretched my arms and legs. As I was stretching my foot hit Jack in the back, who was still sleeping. I decided to mess with him a little and kept pushing my foot against his back. I heard Jack grunt as he scooted away from me to the edge of the bed. I giggled as I scooted closer and pushed on him again. Jack scooted away from me again and let out a squeal as he fell off the bed and onto the floor. I laughed and shuffled over to the side of the bed where Jack

Chapter 9: Recovery        I opened my eyes and was assaulted with bright light. Immediately I closed my eyes and slowly opened them again to adjust to the light. I took notice of my surroundings and saw that I was in the hospital. I felt air being forced into my lungs from being on a ventilator. The beeping noises were coming from the machines that monitored my vitals. My arms were still strapped down from the surgery so I was completely immobilized. I felt someone holding my hand and I looked over to the side. I saw an older lady holding my hand in both hers. She had warm brown eyes full of emotion, short curly brown hair that was start
