This choice: hard, what am I going to do? • Go Back...Chapter #6Megan's Life - hard, what am I going to do? by: Morphology   Feeling like he'd gotten the wrong end of the deal, Josh looked down at the homework. 'What is this?' He thought to himself as he looked through the problems. 'This doesn't make any sense.' Looking back over at his sister turned babysitter, he held up the paper for her to see. "Mith Courtney, whatth thith?" He asked internally shuddering at what he's being forced to do. "I thought you thaid that thith ith 3rd grade work." Looking at the paper, Courtney just nodded her head. "Then why can't I underthand it?"
Thinking about it for a moment, Courtney started to think she understood what was happening. "So I think that when I put you in Megan's life, it gave you her education too." She surmised by looking at her brother. "So what she found difficult to complete, now so do you." She gave him a pleading smile in an attempt to move the blame somewhere else.
Seeing his sister smiling at him, he knew that she felt like she'd messed up. Groaning with a bit of annoyance, Josh sat back down at the table and started back on the homework. He felt a little humiliated in having to get some help from his sister, but after about 45 minutes, Josh was happy to see the entire page filled with correct answers. "Finally done." He joyfully exclaimed as he showed Courtney the work.
"Great, just fill out the name at the top and you will be done." Courtney told him pointing towards the top of sheet. Looking at what she was pointing at, Josh quickly put the sheet back on the table and wrote his name.
'Joshua Mitchell Megan Thompson' He thought to himself as he wrote the name down with a childish looking handwriting. 'Great I can't even think of my name correctly. Come on Josh Megan. Get it together.' Knowing that this was about to come to an end soon, Josh eagerly gave it to Courtney. "Tho can I get back to normal now?" He asked hoping to be put back into his normal life once again.
Hearing this caused Courtney to giggle. "No. I can't leave a 2 year old with her 7 year old sister." Josh felt his heart sink after hearing her explanation, but knew that it made sense because he the life of that 7 year old sister. "So go play with your sister and I will get you back to normal when I'm able to go back home."
Seeing that her 'sister' was done with her homework, Mia came toddling over and grabbed Josh's hand. "Come on Sissy. Lets go play!" Looking for some help from his sister, but Courtney didn't seem to want to help and she simply brushed her hand away from him in an effort to tell him to go on. Nodding his head, he followed the young girl over to her room. Entering the room, Josh could instantly tell that it was a nursery. The crib on the far wall looked to have been converted into a day bed by removing one of the sides. The walls had various nursery rhyme characters in different poses and a changing station was also near the door. Under the window a toy chest seemed to be filled to the brim with toys and stuffed animals with a small plastic kitchen set up right next to it. "Let's play." She excitedly told him as she started put plastic pieces of food into a pot.
"What are you making?" Josh asked, trying to get into character and hoping to get the night over a little more quickly.
***Back at the Mitchell Residence***
Megan was having fun with what Courtney gave her. She sat on the bed watching shows that her Mom and Dad wouldn't normally let her watch and she was having the time of her life. As she was watching the more adult cartoons, there was a small knock on the door. Glancing over at the door, she felt her heart beat a little faster. "Come in." She told the person on the other side of the door.
Opening the door, Bri walked in with an assignment that her teacher wanted her to complete before they came back. "Josh, can you help me with this math homework?" Feeling a little apprehensive at helping with the math homework.
Thinking she may brush it off for Josh later on, she nodded her head to look at it. "Sure, lets see if I can remember what to do." She moved over slightly as she older girl sat next to her and Megan marveled at how much bigger she looked and believed that she was her older brother. As Bri showed her the assignment, something in Megan's head seemed to click. "So this is the order of operations, right?" She surprised herself with the words coming out of her mouth. Bri nodded her head.
Megan continued to explain how to use the order of operations and even helped her with several problems until she got the hang of it. As she got a hold of the concept, Bri felt elated at how her 'brother' was helping her with the assignment. "Thanks, Joshie." She said as she embraced her brother in a loving hug and glanced over at the television. "Why are you watching those girlie shows?" She asked gesturing at the cartoons on the screen.
Not knowing what to say, Megan brushed it off. "I just wanted to see what it was like." Rolling her eyes into the back of her head, Bri headed out of the room. As soon as she was out of the room, Megan went to go lock the door so that she could watch what she wanted. As she passed the full length mirror on the closet door, Megan couldn't help but grin at seeing her new reflection.   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
