This World

Sayo, Jennifer

"So, whadda ya kids wanna do now?" Jennifer asked. She finished her beer can and tossed it to the floor. Sayo glared at her before picking it up and throwing it away. After seeing Amy dropping to the floor, Sayo immediately rushed over to Amy, kneeling beside her and Zach.

"Hey! Are you ok, Amy? Did you faint again?"

Amy nodded, biting her lower lip. She didn't like worrying her friends. It made her feel bad.

"Yeah. But I'm ok now. I just got dizzy."

"Well it couldn't have been from the beer. Maybe you're tired?"

"She could have caught something," Orion stated thoughtfully, letting go of Jacob in concern. He looked Amy over. She seemed fine, kind of scared and pale, but fine.

Amy staggered to stand up, holding her hands out in front of her.

"I'm fine really. I just need some sleep. That is all."

Zach looked at her unsure, but she didn't want to pester Amy with questions. She was just glad that she wasn't hurt or at least appeared to be fine.

"If you say so."

Sayo, Jennifer

"You can sleep in my room if you want, Amy." Sayo offered. Jennifer, normally, would have made some sort of sexual joke about that, but decided to let it slid. She'd flustered her nephew enough already, and she herself was concerned about Amy's health.

"Thank you Sayo," Amy said. She waited for him to show her where that was.

Zach stood back, frowning. Something was not right here. But she didn't voice her thoughts.

Sayo

"Your welcome. Follow me." Sayo said. He proceeded to lead Amy up the stairs and down a hall to his room. He opened a door on his right.

"Here's my room. I hope you feel better after sleeping. Do you need anything before I go?"

"I...I....um..." Amy looked at her feet. "I don't want to be alone. Can you stay with me?" Whatever she saw kind of freaked her out and she wanted someone to be nearby if it happened again.

Sayo

"Um...well...er...." Sayo trailed off, blushing. "I'm not sure if it'd be proper, but....if you really want me to stay..."

Jennifer

"So, whadda kids wanna do now?" Jennifer asked.

"Get drunk?" Orion suggested, gesturing to the beer before looking over at Zach and hurriedly adding, "Or not. Maybe you can tell us about Japan."

Amy nodded, not sure how to thank Sayo for his kindness. He really was a good guy. She was glad he was her friend.

"You're so nice to stay with me," she said laying down, already feeling tired. "Thank you..."

Sayo

"Ah, y-you're welcome." Sayo said, blushing. He pulled a chair from his desk and moved it over to the bed, sitting down on it.

"I'm glad to be of help, Amy."

Jennifer

"What would you want to know about it?" Jennifer asked.

In the dark Amy felt she could be more open. She turned to face Sayo, but then she had that feeling again. That she should not say anything about her visions. So she just closed her eyes and let herself fall asleep.
------------
"What was it like," Zach asked sitting on the arm of the couch.

Sayo

Sayo stayed with Amy a few more minutes before deciding to head back downstairs. He hoped she'd be alright. Amy was starting to worry him lately. Just what was going on with these strange fainting spells of her's?

Jennifer

"Japan? It's a great place, actually. Gets to grow on you after a time. It has its strange quirks, sure, but overall it's a pretty nice place. And it's got great booze there, too." Jennifer said. She smiled at the memory of the place, and of her time there.

((So, any ideas what to do next?))

((I think I might skip to the next day. Anyone mind?))

(That's cool with me.)

(Same with me.)

(I am fine with it as well.)

Jennifer, Sayo

The night came and passed rather quickly for Sayo, his aunt, and his friends. Jennifer eventually left the house to return to her hotel room, but promised to come back in the morning to give the kids a lift to school. Sayo's parents were prevented from coming home that night due to a series of events, so for the rest of the night the friends had the house to themselves. Sayo decided to let Amy spend the night in his room, and slept downstairs. He let one of his other friends take the guest bedroom as well.

Now it was slowly becoming morning, and school would start in an hour. The alarm clock Sayo had brought downstairs rang loudly, interrupting him in his sleep. Sayo slowly raised himself up from the couch he was sleeping on, and yawned loudly. He stumbled over to the alarm clock and turned it off. After visiting the bathroom, Sayo went into the kitchen and began to make breakfast for himself and his friends.

Amy came into the house and saw Sayo making breakfast. To prevent him from wondering why she was outside she sat down and explained.

"Good morning Sayo. I woke up earlier and was just outside getting some fresh air. I heard movement in the house and came back in."
----------
Zach sat up and yawned. She was going to have to wear the clothes she was in last night again and so she decided to clean up as best she could.

She entered the bathroom and began brushing her teeth.

Jacob

Jacob quickly followed Amy into Sayo's kitchen, coming from his house through the back yard again. "Is that what was making noise in my backyard then?" Jacob asked as he grabbed a glass and went over to the fridge, quickly filling it with orange juice.

"Oh I'm sorry," Amy said. "I didn't mean to make too much noise." She got herself some milk.

Sayo

"Don't worry, it's fine, Amy." Sayo assured, smiling at her. He went on to make breakfast, which so far consisted of scrambled eggs, bacon, and some toast.

Jacob

"Yeah, I didn't mean anything bad or nothing." Jacob apologized, in his own way. "Oh, and Sayo, would you mind making me a plate. My Mom didn't come home last night. She's probably at her boyfriend's house or something."
