Delia got Mickey to help me. Mickey has been in enough fights that he has had to fix himself up. Mickey fixes up my side and puts a bandage on my side. Thankfully the knife didn't go all the way through. I'll only have a scar. He helps me stand up and I walk around the living room. I'm slightly wincing but I should be fine for the weekend. Mickey leaves because he has to get his medicine. I turn on the TV and Delia comes up by me, holding a bowl of chips. She also hands me a can of coke. She's a good little sister. I love her. I kiss the top of her head and we watch movies until Delia starts to fall asleep. I put my empty coke can on the table. I slowly stand up and grab her. I carry her to her room and lay her down. I pull the covers over her and kiss her forehead. I turn off the light and walk back to the living room. Our apartment only has one bedroom so I let Delia have it. I grab a couch pillow and throw a blanket over me. I watch the TV play until my eyes close and I drift into sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Next Morning~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wake with a start. Daylight is streaming through the windows. I slowly sit up and wince.

"Ow..."

I look outside and see the neighbors walking their dogs. I lean against the window and wince in pain again.

"Shit. Oh, my god. This hurts."

I look down and my side. I walk towards Delia's room and look in. She is sound asleep. I open a drawer and pull on a sweatshirt and shorts. I grab my phone and my earphones. I write a little note for Delia, so she knows where I am. I pull on my sneakers and open the door. The coldness blows against my face. I pull up my hoodie and walk down the steps. I play a song and start jogging down the block. I jog down to the CVS and walk inside. There are some people idling in the isles. I walk down to the drink section and pick up a bottle of water. I grab a chocolate milk for Delia. I find pancake mix on sale, so I grab that and a bag of chocolate chips. I walk up to the counter, wincing a little. I put my items down and the lady scans them. She gives me the total and I give her a twenty. I grab my bag and my change. I cross the street and start jogging back to the apartment. I pull my keys out of my pocket and push them into the door. I crack open the door and see Delia sitting on the couch. Watching TV.

"Hey, Deals."

"Sis! Oh, good your home!"

"I brought home a chocolate milk for you and I bought some pancake mix. You up for that?"

"Yes!"

I close the door and Delia grabs the bag for me. I walk into the kitchen and start making pancakes.
