“Ah, come in?” I said, not quite sure of what was behind the door, this was something I wasn’t quite prepared yet, so as I uttered this words the door was opened and I barely had time before I was tackled by a brown blur, thanks to the earlier wish in the hospital everything was alright or I would have been send to the emergency room with the strength behind it.
“Oh god! You are alright! Do you know how scared I was when mom called me saying you were hit by a car?!” whoever said while finally letting me go, now I could see at the woman who was a little bit taller than me, she had brown colored hair falling over her shoulders straight, the light honey eyes the same as mom who could simply pull you, a cute nose button nose and a very worried look on her face, she wasn’t so thin, probably did some sport… and it seems that like mom she didn’t have the ‘flat-chest’ curse that was so normal in my mother’s family because the two mounds against my chest really did made the hug more comfortable. Racking around my head for less than a second I finally hold the name of my obvious now older sister.
“Miranda, I’m alright, everything is okay” I said still quite winded due to the family hug, she was definitely mom’s girl with that strength.
“That doesn’t change that my only brother was trampled by an idiot, I was out with Melanie and Sarah when I got the call, and had to drive all the way to the hospital, when I arrived there they told me you were already discharged” she seemed to gain more steam in her rant before the soft rapping in the door made us both turn into that direction.
“Don’t drown your brother in that tirade like always, I’m sure he wants to rest after all that had happened” mom said to my… sister, and somehow she seemed a little bit better than before… if before can be really used in this case.
“Sorry mom, but is not everyday that your little brother is hit by a car after saving someone, do you think they’ll maybe get him a plate or something?”
“Probably he’ll appear in the newspaper” now I was suddenly being ignored, and this was my room! I’m sure Ginny is laughing her head out somewhere.
“Or maybe the cheerleaders will make a special… celebration for him” Miranda said winking at me making my face heat up a little at her tone.
“Miranda!”
“Oh come on mom, I was just joking, I’m sure the boy here will be received at school with the band playing” well, that didn’t seem as a bad idea I suppose.
“I’m serious Miranda, let him rest”
“You don’t really feel like resting right bro? Maybe we need to celebrate the fact that you are still with us and in one piece, right?” Now that her fears were evaporated I could see that she was one hyper and chipper girl for sure, but her suggestion had some merit, should I have some fun with my new sister to get to know her?
