Strings of Fate

Chapter 48

48- Cartoons and considerations

Harrison obviously isn’t buying it, but he doesn’t need to, he just has to cooperate. Which he does. We start to rearrange my living area. Soon the table is up against the bench with the chairs in front of it. Blankets cover everything. The back of the bench has become the back wall of our fort. The table is the roof and the chairs mark the entryway. We stuff it full of pillows to make it comfy and make sure the charger for my laptop can reach a power point so it won’t go flat on us. There aren’t any lights inside the fort other than the laptop, but the lights in the living area are still on which provides a tiny bit of light through the fabric of the thinner blankets. There isn’t a lot of space, but Harrison and I can fit even though we are a little squished together. It’s comfortable enough. We’re just starting our second episode of Courage the Cowardly Dog when my phone starts ringing. I ignore it. I don’t want to deal with people right now, whoever it is can wait. As soon as the call goes to messages it starts ringing again. The third time this happens I cave. I pick up the phone and check the screen. Megan. It’s 10:30pm what does she want that’s so urgent? With a sigh, I answer the phone. Harrison pauses the cartoon. He doesn’t even pretend that he isn’t going to listen in to my

conversation.

“Megan, what’s wrong?”

“My brother is going crazy and nothing makes him as crazy as you do. Where are you right. now?” she demands. Well I guess Aaron did call him then.

“I’m at home.” I answer her honestly, but she can tell that there’s more to it than that.

“And?”

“And I have a friend over?” Megan groans.

“Is this friend a guy?” She questions.

“Yeah…” I trail off. Her groan is even louder this time.

“That explains a lot. You have a guy over in the middle of the night. Wait, who is it? Is he a
