It all started on a regular cold fall day. My brothers and my dad were playing video games, my mom was in the kitchen cooking and I was in my sanctuary, my room! I felt safe in my room away from my brothers who were always doing things to get on my nerves, you know like taking my things and going crazy, yet always getting away with it, always talking about my insecurities. But anyway this one particular story starts out horrible, and not everything that starts sad has a happy ending. Keep that in mind.

Ok so this I knew I was going to have a bad day. I knew it because when I got out of bed I tripped and fell over my sneaker and when I went to brush my teeth toothepaste fell in my eye. Then I went down to breakfast and my brothers finished the last bit of milk. Have you ever felt like this, you know like nothings going your way, well that wasn't the end of it. So my brothers leave me to eat alone and they disappear, so that was the best part of my day. After I finished making and eating breakfast I go up to my room and guess who was there? My brothers the three of them. They werent just in there they were throwing my stuffed animal, pillows and clothes everywhere!!! I went to my parents room and yelled get your kids! My mom was telling me "to calm down and relax i'll take care of it"(but in spanish) and I shot back "no you won't take care of me, you always say you will, but don't!" She gave me a stare that send me flying back to my room, i slammed the door shut and started to clean up the mess. As I was cleaning I was mumbling "why can't they just go away and not come back!!" I finished cleaning and went out to the backyard and just stared up at the sky. I tripped over a soccer ball and bumped my head on a chair, then woke up to my annoying brothers yelling back and forth at each other.

I went into the kitchen but instead saw my mom cooking. So I said "didn't I just here your sons yelling?" She said "yeah they ran upstairs and they went to there rooms." I ran upstairs to make sure they weren't in my room, but they weren't they were in there own rooms, although there was something strange about my room. I head something mumbling when I looked around I saw my favorite teddy bear winnie the pooh with his red shirt, just pacing the corner. I looked, and stared in amazement. Then he noticed me and turned and smiled and said hi Michelle. I looked at him and picked him up he was so much heavier than this morning! I put him back down and sat on my bed and thought for what felt like forever and he nudged my knee and said "why are you always so sad?" I said "my brothers ruin everything and my parents don't seem to understand." He responded "well life with out them can be hard" I say "how would I know?" Winnie smiled at me and said "if you walk through that door go to the kitchen and get me some honey, come back and you will see the difference." I say "what's the honey for?" He responds " I'm hungry." I go and do what he says.

I come back up and give Winnie the honey then I go looking for my brothers, miraculously they were really gone. I sat on the couch, turned the T.V. on ,and layed back. I was watching T.V. and fell asleep thinking about the bump on my head. I had a dream and my brothers were all running around the house having fun and being silly. Then one of them called out in my direction, but when I reached out they didn't know who I was. I had to watch another girl who looked almost like me hug them and pay with them the way I used to do, when I wasn't mad at them of course.

I woke up and just brushed the dream off. I decided that since my broithers weren't hime I could go out and come and find my room the same I left it. I went for a walk, just to see if something had cfhanged. But no, nothing I went to my friends house and she wasn't home so I kept walking until I got tired. I decided to go back home and take a bath and relax. I felt like it was all a dream, I came home, and my parents were watching T.V. as if nothing happened. My asked me if I was hungry, I responded yeah I want pizza. My mom ordered while I went to take a bath, when I came out it was so quite, usually my brothers would be fighting over the first slice of pizza, but they weren't. I walked downstairs in my purple slippers and began to eat I WAS SOOO BORED! I wanted something to laugh at, I needed something to laugh at. I began to think

about my brothers and how much I truly did like them around. I

I went back up and started talking to Winnie, who was sitting on my bed. He looked up at me and said "not already?" I said "what do you mean?" He said "I knew you couldn't las long without your brothers but its only been half a day." Then my parents walked in and asked if everything was ok? I said sure and they said ok and reluctantly left. I turned to the bear and asked "why don't they notice that there kids wre missing?" He said "because they are gone, just like you wanted and with your brothers gone you get all the attention and your parents only care about you!" I picked him and said "bring them back!" He said "no, there is no way I'll bring them back, there is no way to do it, even if I wanted to !!" I began to cry realizing that I had wished my brothers away and now I was sad and felt guilty, how could this happen to me? And you see they never came back and for that now I do think about what I say and the consequences.
