Chapter 11 Lucas
LUCAS
Ugh. My head being sick is for the bugs. The bees? Ugh. I don’t know. It’s for something that isn’t me because I don’t like it and I think it’s silly.
Yesterday when Miss Ally was watching me, I started not to feel very good and didn’t want to play. I tried really, really, hard to stay up to see my daddy when he got home, but I just couldn’t do it. Like really couldn’t—I fell asleep and didn’t. Even. Know. It.
Crazy, right?
Being sick hasn’t been fun…but it hasn’t made me sad like it usually does. My Aunt Kenna is nice, but she’s just not very patient. She gets grumpy, and I’ve heard her tell Daddy that I’m too much when I’m sick.
I don’t want him to leave work, but I don’t like when it’s her taking care of me.
So when I woke up and he wasn’t there, I thought I would be sad, but Miss Ally is so nice and made me food and then watched movies with me.
I was kind of a butt when she got my food wrong, and I should probably tell her sorry, but right now she’s asleep on the couch while my daddy’s game is still on.
Snuggling in closer, I pull my blanket up because I feel cold, but I’m also happy. Very happy because I really like Miss Ally, and if anyone is going to take care of me that isn’t my daddy—I want it to be her.
She’s nice, and pretty, and smells like lemons, and she makes me smile even when my head and tummy hurt really bad.
I want to tell my daddy this, but I don’t want him to be sad.
When I told him I didn’t like Auntie Kenna being with me when I was sick, I thought I saw him smile…
but that’s just because I know he loves being the one I snuggle with.
But Miss Ally is so nice, and she lets me snuggle and pick the movie.
Yawning, I lean back down and put my head back on the pillow next to Ally as the buzzer goes off, signaling the game is over.
Daddy’s coming home!
But I’ll see him tomorrow because he told me it’s his day off and we can hang out together. Maybe we can invite Miss Ally. Does Daddy like having Miss Ally around? I should ask him.
I think he does because he smiles more now, but I will talk to him tomorrow.
But right now, I am so sleepy.
