Chapter 7
Joe quickly climbed through the window and gave me a hug, "What's the 911?"
"How do you do that?"
"Do what?" He asked laughing.
"Climb through the window. The first time you climbed through it you feel to the ground and never again have i seen you fall." I said laughing with him.
He chuckled, "What's wrong?"
"Grounded." I mumbled sitting on the ground. He sat down next to me and put his arm around me. He quickly leaned in a gave me a kiss on the side of my head. I smiled. This was the way we use to sit when we were little. Boy did it bring back memories.
"Joe. No jumping on the bed. Mommy says you'll break something." We were only 8 and 9. But we were always together. And i always had a blast with him.
"No, i won't. I'm superman!" As he said that he jumped off the bed and flew through the air, smacking into the wall and hitting the floor with a thud.
"KIDS!" Mom called.
"Busted!" Joe and i said at the same time.
"Pretend to be asleep!" Joe whispered loudly. We both curled up in the middle of the floor and Joe started to 'snore'.
Mom and dad opened the door and mom giggled.
"Aw. There asleep." She laughed. "Little devils." Dad mumbled.
When they walked out Joe and i shot up.
"That was fun!" I called.
"Lets do it again!" Joe yelled getting on the bed again.
A tear feel down my face at the thought.
"Remember that time, when i jumped off the bed. We were like 8...or 9. You're mom and dad came up to see what was happening. But we pretended to be asleep on the floor." Joe chuckled.
"Yeah. My mom..." I sighed.
"It's ok to miss her. We all do. I remember that day too, "Joe was now whispering softly in my ear,
"You and i were only 13 and 14. We were outside messing around like teenagers do. Your dad walked out and said you had to go home while he had to run an arrend. But you didn't fall for it.You walked up and asked what was going on. He kept saying nothing till you begged him to tell you. He looked down at you and told you what happened and what was happening right now. His words, "She dying Linds." You broke down crying. He was afraid to take you. He didn't know what to expect either. He left you with me. We spent the day together. Even though you stayed in my room crying. We laid on my bed and you curled up against me and feel asleep. Crying. I felt bad. I couldn't do anything. Then when you dad came home and had to brake you the news. You and I both started crying."
More tears feel down my face as he finished the story.
"I do miss her." I mumbled.
"We all do." He whispered in my ear and kissed my head again.
We didn't even relize the radio was on till one of my favorite songs came on. My wish by rascal flats. Joe had the song memorised. He just sang softly in my ear as the song played on the radio.
I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,
But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.
I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more than you take.
But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

"That's my wish." Joe mumbled in my ear as i feel sleep in his arms.
