Episode One
"Jace, you should stop running around!" Alexa shouted for the second time.
It was 11 o' clock in the morning and after eating breakfast, the 10 year old, Jace could not stop running around the house.
"Jace, stop running, its not good for your health" Alexa said, more like whispered.
She was out of breath, mainly because she had been chasing after her kid bro. She bent over a little and placed her hands on her knees and rested a while.
For a 10 year old boy, he was sure agile and fast.
"Jace, please I'm begging you, stop running" She pleaded one last time.
Jace stopped, turned around, looked at her and dropped on the floor.
Alexa on seeing what happened, panicked and ran over to where her brother lay.
"Jace, Jace, Jace," Alexa called out while shaking him.
"Please, answer me, don't do this to me" She whispered, her eyes glassy with tears and they dropped one after the other.
"Gotcha!" Jace shouted and stood up.
Alexa immediately wiped her tears and stared in disbelief at her brother. Her disbelief slowly turned to anger.
He did that purposely and made tears drop from her eyes.
Her once teary eyes turned red in anger.
"Jace!" She screamed.
"Yes Alexa?"
"What did you do that for?" She questioned while taking slow steps towards him.
"Do what? I didn't do anything"
"Stop acting that way. You knew I'd get worried, so why'd you act like you fainted?" Alexa asked half screaming.
"Oh that?" Jace asked "Nothing really" he smirked.
"You pretended you fainted for nothing? Oh Jace, you made me shed tears for nothing?"
"It was just a prank Alexa. Get over it" Jace rolled his eyes and this made Alexa so angry she took long, menacing strides towards Jace, making him move backwards in fear.
"Uh oh...this is not good, she's angry" he thought.
Soon, his back came in contact with the wall, he could not escape. Alexa caught up with him soon, put a hand on his shoulder and tightened her grip on it.
"Ouch...it hurts" Jace said and tried to free his shoulder from her grip, but that only made Alexa tighten it more.
"Jace, you know how hard it is for me. Taking care of you hasn't been easy since it became only me and you. You know how hard I work so we can survive. You know how hard I work so we can survive. You know how hard I work to pay for your medication. Yet, all I get is you making it harder for me."
"I was only trying to play like other normal kids" Jace defended.
"Jace, you're not normal" Alexa sighed
"At least, not until you've been operated on. Please, try to listen to me all the time."
"OK. I'm sorry Alexa. I promise to start listening to you" Jace apologized.
"Thank you... Thank you Jace" Alexa said and pulled him into a hug.
