~Chapter 21~

   Why can't my visions come sooner than they do!? Always in the early morning! No no no can't see tomorrow the night before, oh no! That would make things too easy!!! Ugh!! Woke up this morning to see Adri crying and Caleb flying and black as night feathers and harsh words and god! It hit me so hard I started crying just for Adri's pain!
   Now I stood at the corner of her street where in my vision I saw Caleb speak to her, then turn and leave. I walked down the street where I saw her walking with those terrified eyes. Knocked on the door she had stepped out of and shown a sad smile to the sky. Then the girl who's eyes were still red from the tears that she had no doubt just wiped off her face opened up the door and looked at me with those sad eyes.
   I walked right past her into her house. "Okay, I've got pizza- half olive and half pineapple, just how you like it-"
   "Lil-"
   "-two giant bags of Doritos-one nacho cheese and one cool ranch-"
   "Liliana-"
   "-four tubs of Ben&Jerry's Cherry Garcia ice cream, and two boxes of Oreos."
   "That's great, but-"
   "I also stopped by Blockbuster; I got Peter Pan with the real people, Pan's Labyrinth, the first three Indiana Jones movies, and the first four Harry Potters. I know it sounds pretty vigorous, but I think we can watch 'em all if we get right to it. Now come on, get out your sleeping bag, we're going all out sleepover here."
   "Liliana!"
   After finally setting everything down, I looked up at her. "What?"
   "What about school? It's Tuesday. Not only that, but it's still 9 a.m! What are you even doing here? You should be at school!"
   "So should you! And yet you're not. Don't worry about explaining, I already know," I pointed to my head, "I understand why you don't want to go to school, and there's no way in hell I'm leaving you alone. Plus, come on, missing one stupid day isn't going to hurt me. Now do you plan to stand there and just stare at me, or are you going to help me set up the movie and get this sleepover started?"
   Adriana looked at me in amazement for a few moments, as if searching for something to say, but eventually her eyes got watery. She just walked over to me and wrapped her arms around me, crying into my shoulder.
   "I love you, Lil," she said between sobs. I stroked her hair.
   "Love you too Adri."
