25 - Music box

  'Jennette... Why did you have to drive the car...' I silently though as I reached for my mug.

  I put it up so that I could drink my coffee.

  'Ugh... I ran out of coffee... This is like my third cup...' I scruntched my face to show my displeasure.

  'I don't want to go down stairs and risk almost making Father notice me...' When I was refiling my second cup I saw Father with tons of beer bottles beside him.

  'Im so tired...' I thought as I rubbed my eyes and yawned.

  "Get away..." I heard Amaranth call breaking me off my focus.

  "Mara?" I said silently as I got up and walked towards Amaranth.

  "No! Sissy did nothing wrong!" Amaranth started violently tossing turning and punching the air.

  "Mara!" I said a little bit louder as I ran to her side.

  'What should I do?'

  'The music box.' My second voice said with a sigh as if telling me 'How dumb are you?'

  I opened my door and ran silently towards Amaranth's room.

  I opened Amaranth's door into her pink and white striped room that had thinner yellow strips are thicker white strips.

  Her room floor was white but it was mainly covered with a huge white rug that was super fluffy.

  There was a shelf that had little box holes and it was in a staircase shape with 4 steps on the right of the room, that had alot of puzzles, Legos, books, a few decorative lights and alot of random things.

  In the center was a circle coffee table that was white. There was a lamp in the center and the table also had a little section under the table that had a few papers.

  On the left was Amaranth's bed that was a queen bed that had a blanket that was soft to the touch. It was yellow on the outside but white on the inside. It had a row of mini crowns that on the outside was white and on the inside was yellow.

  Her pillow was just plain pearl white.

  Beside the door on my left was a white wardrobe that had a crown design on top.

  'Where is it!?!' I was panicking at this point.

  I scanned around the room...

  'There.' My second voice spoke.

  It was on the edge of the shelf that was extended from her window which had translucent yellow curtains with white crown designs on them.

  I grabbed it and just darted out of the room not bothering to shut the door.

  "Papa! S-Sissy!" I entered the room again and was greeted with Amaranth crying.

  I whined up the music box and heard how the music slowly but surely filled the room.

  Amaranth went from full on breaking down to slow sniffles.

  "Mara, Sissy is here okay? Just sleep..." I shushed Amaranth who seemed to have listened as her scrunched face relaxed into a calm expression and stopped crying.

  I silently whipped her tears and sat down on the bed.

  'So tired...' I whined as I looked over at the music box.

  The music box itself was a dark brown colour and it had a star handle which is used to open the mini drawer, it had a star that was lied flat on the top of the box.
