Burn Bright

"Can you call Geward? I wanna play with him again!" I told Carly.

"Kasey, we just left the park not even 5 minutes ago."

"That's 5 minutes without Geward!" I said holding up all my fingers on one of my hands.

"Honey, you've been love struck." Carley told me and laughed, I didn't get her joke.

I was thinking about how nice Geward was today when the car came to a stop in front of my big white house. I was bouncing up and down in my seat waiting to telly my mommy what had happened today.

"Kasey." Carly said as she started to undo my seat belt. "Remember what I told you, we cant tell your mommy or she'll never let you see Gerard again. Are little secret, okay?"

I frowned at the thought of never seeing him again, but I nodded and agreed not to telly mommy anything. As soon as Carly put me on the sidewalk I ran up to the door of my house, a man dressed in all black, his name was Sean, opened the door for me and Carly like he always does.

"Hi Sean!" I told him as I stopped in front of him.

"Why hello Kasey." He gave me a big smile and got down on his knee's so he was eye level with me. "How's my special princess?"

"I'm gweat Carly and I went to the-"

"Kasey." Carly warned as she entered the house.

"Sorry," I told Carly and turned back to Sean, "Its a secret." I whispered.

"Kasey, don't you wanna show your mom the painting you made?"

"Yeah!" I said as I remembered the finger painting I did in class today. It was of me, my mommy, and daddy. I think I did my dad's hair wrong, I don't remember what color it is. I haven't seen him in a while.

"mommy!" I yelled as I ran into the kitchen and found my mommy, she was standing near the bar talking to the people who make us food. When she saw me a very tight smile formed on her lips and when I hugged her leg she took a deep breath.

"Kasey, let go." She said slowly and I did.

"Mommy, I made a family painting in class today." I said handing her the picture.

"Cute." she said and turned back to the cook's.

"Our teacher said we could put them on the fridge." When I kept talking, mommy gave me one of her scary looks, I didn't like it so I looked away. My eyes went to the cooks and they were smiling at me.

"Sweetheart, in this house we only put up extravagant art by well-known artist."

"You.... don't like it?" I asked, I could feel tears in my eyes.

"Not now Kasey, mommy is busy." She said then walked away.

I let out a sob then ran up all the stairs and into my room. Even though Carly was calling out for me to stop, I kept running. When I got to my room I slammed the door shut and jumped onto my bed, burring my face in the pillow and began to cry my eyes out. After a few minutes there was a soft knock on my door.

"Kasey? Can I come in?" Carley asked.

"No!" I yelled back.

"Please, I'm worried about you."

"I-If I let you in," I wiped away a few tears, "W-will you sleep in bed with me?"

"Of course." She kindly told me.

I slowly got up form my bed and walked over to the door and opened it, as soon as I twisted the knob and the door opened and inch, I ran back to my bed and stuffed my face in the pillow. There was the sound of footsteps across my floor and I soon felt Carly pick me up and cradle me in her lap.

"You know, I loved your painting. If its okay with you, can I hang it up in my room?"

I nodded. Carly kissed the top of my head and pulled me close to her and in return I clung onto her shirt. We stayed quite for a bit before there was another soft knock on my door. Both Carly and I looked to see who it was, since the door wasn't ever re-closed we saw Sean standing there with a big bowel of ice cream on a silver plate. I stared at the ice cream in want.

"The chiefs and I thought this would make you feel better." He told us and he walked into my rooms and handed me the ice cream.

"But mommy said-"

"Kasey, it will be our secret, just like Gerard, okay?"

"Okay." I said and stuffed my face with ice cream.

"Sean, can you bring us a bunch of makeup, when she's done, were gonna do makeovers." Carly said.

"yay!" I yelled with a face full of ice cream.

Carly kept her word. After I ate she let me put makeup on her and let me do her hair. She even taught me how to braid my own hair with a ribbon! We played around with my dolls and when I started to get tired, she gave me a bath and read me a story before bed. She also slept on the bed with me.

"Carly." i said, barly being able to open my eyes.

"Yes sweety?"

"I love you." I told her.

"I love you to. Now go to sleep."
