The New Brown House :A

Amanda had left, after saying goodbye and hello to everyone and I'm so very sorry, then quickly apparated.

After everyone explained what was going on with the Cruises/Sawyers, Holly had retreated up to her room, sobbing silently, sitting on her bed. She was so glad that Fry hadn't been there... if he had... would they had taken him instead of Robin? Would they have taken them both? Her mind ran around in circles, with just a bunch of "what if"s and other questions. But no answers.

Fry entered Drew's room slightly stunned. After paying a quick visit to Kelsi, who looked really weak- apparently she's been getting out of bed or something, he felt weak himself. Especially in the knees. Falling onto the bed, he held his head and sighed loudly. It was all too quick- and he left Eric without a thanks. But... his family...

Drew himself was in there already, reading a book at the desk that had been placed in there just a few weeks earlier. He didn't acknowledge Fry's presence--he wasn't entirely sure what to do. So, to be safe, he just continued reading.

Fry looked up at Drew. "... How exactly are we going to do this sleeping thing? I mean- we're not sharing bed- are- are we? I can sleep on the floor, you know."

Drew closed his book, and spun his chair around to look at Fry. "No, we're not. I'm sleeping in my bed, but we're gonna bring in some sleeping bags and stuff so you can be comfortable sleeping on the floor."

"Oh. Thank God. No offense and all." I'd rather sleep with your sister. he thought.

Rachel sat on a bed in a guestroom, staring off in space, and thinking about things. "Oh!- I wonder if Elroy will ever reply to me." she thought, suddenly thinking about the note she sent off to him.

"Oh, and one thing." Drew slid over to his bed where Fry was, on his chair with the wheels on the bottom, and bent down to be eye-level with Fry. "If you do anything to my sister, Holly..." he mumbled, glaring at Fry. But that turned into a wide smile. "I'll kill you. Got it?" He wheeled back over to his desk and began reading again like nothing had happened.

"Hypocrite."

Drew didn't answer him.

[[Nighttime]]


Fry was sleeping on the floor.

Drew was laying on his bed, half-asleep.

Holly tiptoed in, closing the door silently behind her. She tiptoed over to Fry, and sat beside him. She whispered in his ear, "Fry. Wake up."

Fry woke up. "What... Holly!" He sat up quickly, and kept the blankets up.

"Fry!" Holly cuddled up next to him. She pouted, batting her eyelashes. "I had a bad dream."

Fry hugged her. "Well, it's okay." He whispered. "It was just a dream, after all."
