Analysis Of The Story ' Niall '

"Well?" I demanded. "Melanie calm down." I glared at my stupid dad, who was currently sitting on his throne.

"What's happening?" she asked, but this time her words were heavy, and became intense. I stood up for a moment, meeting her eyes with mine. I let out a sigh as I glided down the wall and sat down. "Nothing," I whispered. "Go back to sleep while you can." I could see her tremble as she pulled the rotten cloth over her head and turn to her side, ignoring the stench and forcing herself to fall asleep.

I leave his room and turn off the light. I shut his door and start walking across the hall to my bedroom. After letting out a long and shaky breath, I open my door.

It was around 10:30 when Devlynn finally laid down with her daughter in bed. Dakota had nearly fallen asleep while eating in her high chair after having a full on play day at the daycare. To say the least, Devlynn wasn't that far behind her since it was such a long day at the studio. After tidying up the kitchen and around the house, she finally had some time to sit back and relax. Doing some minor work on her iPad while listening to music she paused, looking over at Dakota sleeping peacefully next to her in bed. Suddenly she smiled to herself as she felt nothing but pure happiness looking over at her little girl. The past few months hadn't been the easiest, but they made it; together. Just Mommy and

He looked at her from his bed. His jacket was off and lying at the foot of the bed.

“I asked more questions I swear, but she said she couldn’t say anymore, that she shouldn’t have told me anything” Alice cried. I tried my best to come up with something to say to her. I’ve never been in a situation like this. I just let her cry into her knees again. I walked over to the kitchen and brewed her some tea to help her get back to sleep, but by the time I got back into the room she was already fast asleep, tears still on her cheek. The dog was curled up in the bend of her knees. I set the tea on the nightstand, wiped away her tear and got into bed myself. I last little bit has been so hectic, trying to calm Alice, that I hadn’t taken the

"I got you something to eat" I say throwing him a bag of chips. He excitedly grabbed the bag and smiled "thanks" he said. "Go do your homework and then I'll try to get us some dinner" I say, he nods and walks over to his extremely small room, shutting the door.

“I may be your servant inside the castle, but in private I’m so much more.” I gave her a sly smile. “But that doesn't mean I think this okay”

“What time is it?” I asked Ellie. Looking down at her watch she told me it was nearly 9 o'clock in the evening. “Wow we’ve been talking for awhile. Maybe we should head to bed.” While bobbing her head up and down, we got up and made our way to our rooms. After we said goodnight I plopped down in bed and fell asleep almost instantly.

I came home after school to my find my father sleeping in his room. My dad never comes home this early, I wondered. “Momma” I called out loud, “why is Baba home this early?” I asked with one of my eyebrows raised. “Oh, he just got a little tired and decided to take the rest of the day off,” she answered me shaking her head. “I’ll make him soup. He likes soup.” I couldn’t say it without a smile that extended from one ear to the other. I was sort of happy that my father is taking care of himself and he’s not pushing himself too much. Since that day my dad has been coming home early a lot, and skipping work. He comes from work exhausted. I started wondering why is he too tired all the time. I spent my days and nights trying to figure out what was happening, and why is he keeping it from us. My thoughts took me to

He then shakes my hand and walks to the door, glancing back before he leaves. “Oh, and your strep test also came back negative. You probably just have the flu. Either way, just get some rest.”

Tom blissfully gradually realized that the morning was off to an impeccable start when the savory aroma of sizzling bacon gently woke him.

Tossing and turning, unable to sleep, remembering when she was a young girl, warm milk helped her to fall asleep, Marlene went to the kitchen and prepared some, but tonight it didn’t help. Picking up her purse, she whispered, “I need some fresh air.”

"I just bought that and you put it on the floor?" I immediately realized my mistake with her harsh voice. My muscles tensed under my blanket and I rubbed my sweaty palms on my sheets. My mind started moving a mile a minute, and any sleepiness quickly disappeared from my body. I glanced up in time to see Reneé huff in disgust and roll her eyes. "How ungrateful can you be?" I stayed silent so I wouldn't say anything wrong. Fed up with my lack of response, she turned to walk out of my room.

I, being the elegant four-year-old, smiled and looked her straight in the eye as I drooled all over. I thought it was the funniest thing ever. It was after she made a face of love and slight disgust, that I heard the door knob start to turn. I looked over my mom’s shoulder and saw my Dad in the doorway. He
