Hazel Eyes

Chapter 2

I woke up with a massive headache. It felt like I was hit by a train multiple times or stab in my head. The pain is unbearable. So I took two pieces of Advil to get rid of the pain.

My phone rang. I honestly don't want to answer it but then I remember my sister Richee.

"Hello?" I lazily answered the call and yes it's Richee. "Hey Baby! Yes. Okay! I'll see you!"

I turned off the call with a smile on my face. My family are coming back from vacation today. Which makes me really excited. I just missed them though. But before anything else, I went out for a run. I love running. It helps me to release some stress and tension. There are some runners who won't stop looking at me but I just simply ignored them.

But all of a sudden, the woman from last night popped up in my head. She is creepy but really beautiful. I don't even know her name. I stopped running when I feel a little tired. My eyes wandered around the business street and noticed a carnival. I focused more to the little girl who is crying. She looks alone and lost.

Without a second thought, I walked towards her. "Hey baby." I called for her attention. "Why are you crying?" I asked the little girl. "Are you lost?" But she just looked at me. "Don't be scared."

The little girl brushed the bang off her face and nodded her head. "I wan—"

I swept her tears away. Why she looks really familiar to me but i just could not wrapped my head around it. "You want what?"

"I want that pig." She replied and pointed the pig stuff toy at the store.

"Oh, do you want that?"

She smile wholeheartedly. "Yes! I want!" Her emerald eyes glimmering with hope and happiness.

"You are so cute." I chuckled as i held her tiny hand and we walked towards the store. "Excuse me Sir," The old man turned to look at me. "How much is the pig stuff toy?"

"20$" He replied.

"I will buy it." I pulled out my card and handed to the man. "And please some chocolates too."

"Yay!" the little girl screamed in excitement while jumping up and down. I gave her the toy and bag of chocolates. Being a child sometimes is a great escape from all our problems. "Thank you," suddenly her face became sad. "But my sister might get mad when she see this."

My brows furrowed. "Ha? But why?"

She hugged the pig stuffed toy tightly. "Because my sister is hardheaded."

I don't understand what she was trying to say, though I find it really funny. How could a five or six years old kid address ed her older sister a hard headed.

"Why is that? I mean, why she is hardheaded?"

She looked at me through her long and thick eyelashes. "She doesn't want me to accept things from strangers."

"Baby girl," I chuckled while rubbing her cheek gently. "Your sister is right. She is only trying to protect you." The little girl just smile at me. "So. What is your name?"

She gave me a toothy grin. "I'm Aubree, Miss Beautiful,"

I gently pinched her rosy cheek again. "And I didn't know you have a sweet tongue."

Her forehead creased. "Sweet tongue?"

The smile on my face went bigger. "I'm Riley.."

She whined and rub her painful cheek. "My left cheeks is hurting."

Awe, how cute this little girl. I want to bring her home and dressed her like a barbie doll.

I laughed at her. "You are so adorable Aubree."

I bit my bottom lip hard, trying to stop myself to pinch the little girl's cheek again. "Anyway. Where are your parents?"

"Hmm.." she whispered.

I was about to say something when my phone rang and it's my mom. "Hey mom!" So many noise over the phone. "Yes I will be there." Then I hang up. "Aub—"

My heart sunk on my feet when i found no one. Aubree is gone. Where did she go? What if something happens to her?

With a heavy heart, I left the carnival. I just hope that Aubree is okay.

"Helo Baby!" I yelled as soon as I opened the door. Then I heard footstep. I chuckled to myself while imagining the face of my younger sister. "Hey!" And there she is, a chubby and brunette little girl. She is so cute! I love my sister so much.

Richee is running towards me with full speed. I stepped back a little and prepare myself for something she always do.

"Riley!" Richee yelled and jumped on me with all of her weight. We fell on the floor. Gosh. She is too heavy! My back is hurt a little.

"Oh my god Richee. You are so heavy!" I pinched her cheek playfully. "What are you eating? A stone?" my sister stood up and helped me to stand. I hug and kissed her all over of her face.

"Eww. Gross! " She complained and pushed me away.

I pouted. "You are so mean to denied my kisses."

She crossed her arm. "Riley you kissed me all over my face. It's dirty!"

After the childish encountered with my younger sister. We ate her favorite burger and fries. Maybe, this is one of the best way to spend my last vacation day before my senior year that will start tomorrow!
