Hello, my name is Sarah and I'm 13 years old. I am the youngest and smallest in my family. I have 3 older brothers Jimmy, Tommy, and Timmy. their triplets which means they were born at the same time. All three of them are 18 years old. My Dad and brothers take good care of me. My dad is a tall and strong man. My grandma would usually call him the gentle giant.because he is gentle. Ever since my mom died I haven't been myself.

"You're a lot quieter" my dad would usually say. My mom and I were very close we did everything together. she was like a best friend to me. As I sat on my bed looking at her picture I heard a knock on the door. Come in I said not even looking up from the picture. "Sweetheart I know you miss your mother but you have to just try and move on. I know it's hard but... you just have to try...Your best friend Lizzy is on the phone she wants to talk to you". "Tell her I'm busy" 1 said in a sad voice. He walked out and closed the door.

I felt bad for avoiding Lizzy because we knew each other since we were very little. But I felt way worse because of my mom. So this time I decided to take a walk by myself. As I was walking down the street I saw Lizzy she looked at me and came running as fast as she could. Without warning, she hugged me tightly. and looked me in the eyes with a serious look on her face.

"Sarah why didn't you answer my call. I..I.. was trying to tell you that my little brother Max is extremely sick. and my mom has to take him to the hospital!" Lizzy shouted while crying ." what?.." I said with concern. "Yes... And I can't go with her so I have to come over to your house."Lizzy said while wiping her tears. "Ok, come on let's go get some Icecream to cheer you up a bit," I said putting my arm around her shoulder.

"Ever since your dad died when Max was born, have you ever felt like a peice of you is missing?" Sarah asked with sad eyes. "Well...I was alot younger back than, remember Max was jusy born, so I was about seven. I was really sad when my dad passed away though...."Lizzy replied while whiping her eyes. I tried making lizzy feel better by rubbing her back. "I'm glad to have a friend like you Sarah" she said with tears in her eyes. When I looked down I relized that there was a dog eating my ice cream. me and Lizzy looked at each other and we both started laughing.

I smiled then hugged her. "And I'm happy to have you as my friend," I told her. "Oops, my Ice cream's melting!" Lizzy said. "So is mine," I said looking down at my melted Ice cream. While Lizzy and I were sitting on the bench. We heard someone calling my name "Sarah!... Saaraaah!". I looked around then saw Jimmy running towards us. "yes...." I answered. Jimmy stopped right in front of us trying to catch his breath.

"Sarah you know you're not supposed to be this far away from home, Dad was getting worried about you," Jimmy said with concern. I got up and gave jimmy a big hug "I'm sorry". "Uhh...No problem" Jimmy replied a little confused. "Oh hey, Lizzy," Jimmy said. Lizzy was stuck like a statue. (Lizzy has always been kinda scared of My older brothers. only because there all so big. )

"Umm Jimmy you can go ahead and lead us home," I said while grabbing Lizzy's hand. "Mm Ok," Jimmy said. "hey Lizzy how about after dinner we ask my dad if he could take us to the hospital to see Little Max" I suggested."Ok, Sarah" Lizzy replied with a sheepish smile on her face. Minutes later we were home. "Dad we're home!"Jimmy stated.

Jimmy ran halfway upstairs "Oka I'm going to go finish articulating how massive I want ship mufasa to be as my prototype. It's a sample though" Jimmy said with a big smile on his face. Lizzy and I glanced at each other "Huh?" we both said. My Dad came into the living room with a cup of coffee. "Hey, girls". "hey Dad," I said. "hello Mister James," Lizzy said with a low voice. "Sarah you shouldn't wander off like that" Dad said seemingly upset.

"I know Dad and I'm sorry. I just wanted some Ice cream" I said. "It's oka but next Time at least tell me where you going. It's not normal for her to just go out without saying anything" My Dad said not talking to anyone in particular. "Oka Dad I understand" I replied. He hugged me then said, "why don't you take Lizzy upstairs to your room". "Oka" I replied. "Wait Umm James sir can.." Lizzy said." please don't call me sir call me James," My Dad told her." Umm James can Sarah and I call my mom to see how Max is doing?" Lizzy asked. "Sure no problem but maybe after dinner," My Dad said.

Lizzy thanked him then we headed straight upstairs. Lizzy and I sat on the bed and had a short conversation. After our conversation, there was an awkward silence. sometime later Dad knocked on the door "Come in!" I said. "Do you two want to go to the nearby corner store?" Dad asked. I answered "yes" but Lizzy did not want too so I went by myself. On the way to the store I bumped into a girl from school She asked me what I like to do on the weekends. I told her I liked watching Naruto on the weekends...

She looked like she had no idea what that was, but said "REALLY I LOVE TO TOO". then I said, "my favorite character is Chewbacca what's yours?". then she said, "OMG you'll never believe me but that's my favorite too!". We stopped walking and I smiled at her and said "I just made that up, Chewbacca is from star wars". I Continued to walk again, And when I looked back, the girl was just standing there.

Corner Store

two weeks later after Max had recovered from his sickness. I came over to Lizzy's house and sat on the couch. Lizzy's mom Linda said, "Lizzy will be down in a sec okay". "Okay," I replied. When Linda walked upstairs. Max came running downstairs. "YOU GONNA BE MY BIG SISTEW!". Linda came down and saw the confused look on my face. And said, "OH your dad didn't tell you did he?". "Tell me what?" Sarah asked. "Well... We are going to be getting married next week". Lizzy was walking down and stopped. "WHAT!!!" Lizzy and I shouted. "Yeah, girls we were going to tell you but..."

I got up and ran back home. When I got there my dad was innocently playing a puzzle. I started shouting "WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME!!?". "I was goi..." he started but I cut him off by saying."THEN WHAT WERE YOU WAITING FOR!!!" Well, honey I... he started then I cut him off again by pointing to the triplets who came down after hearing me shout. "YOU KNEW TOO DIDN'T YOU!?!. WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!. HUH? HUH? "Well..." all 3 of them said at once. I ran up to my room and slammed the door.

I sat on My bed and started crying. A few minutes later my phone started ringing. Ring ring. I Wiped my tears then picked up the phone. "Hello?" I said sounding a bit frustrated. "hey Sarah it's me Lizzy"." hey..Liz I can't believe they didn't tell us" I said on the phone to Lizzy. Lizzy replied by saying "Just think we will be sisters". We talked a whole lot about being sisters. we were so excited we forgot about why we were mad in the first place
