"But for now, get up. Ray woke up this morning." My mother announced. Those were all the words I needed to hear as I shot up out of bed and ran out of the room. I could hear my mother chuckling from behind me. But I did not care.
"Bella! Don't run!" Mimi's voice chased after me, but those words only served to make me run even faster.
I ran to the other wing and quickly arrived at my brother's room. Preston and my father were already there. When I saw Ray sitting up in bed talking with them, tears began to roll down my cheeks. Just remembering how he tried his best to protect me brought tears to my eyes. I ran forward and jumped up onto the bed, and hugged him. "Brother Ray!"
"Bella!" Ray called my name as he hugged me back.
"Ray, I am so glad that you are okay." I nuzzled my nose into his chest, hugging him tightly.
"Bella, don't squeeze him too hard, or he might end up needing to see a doctor again." My father teased, causing me to turn and stick my tongue out at him.
