Chapter Seven
“Sis, wake up you have to go to school.” Nick said. “No, I don’t. I can be home schooled.” I wined into the pillow. “Fine then, you asked for this.” Nick said swing me into his arms bridal style. “AHHH!” I screamed in shock as Nick carried me downstairs and set me on the couch. “Check your blood sugar, sweetheart.” Nick said. “Nicky I don’t want to, I am afraid of needles.” I pouted and Nick took my hand. “I’ll do it for you, this time.

Joe let out a muffled scream. “Nick hospital?” Joe asked walking behind us. “Heading there anyway.” I watched as Kevin walked in through the door. “Kev, I’m going to kill you, I think you broke my nose.” Joe said and I giggled.
