Even though I didn't want to I got off my roof. Slowly I made my way to Becky's room.She was sitting there looking through a picture album almost to tears. It hurt me to see her this way. She was the youngest out of the group and took it the hardest. I caught a glance of a picture with us and the boys. We had got first names...but were idiots and didn't get last names. We had all fallen hard for them. Becky for Nick,Courtney for Kevin,and me for Joe. They were all amazing guys.
"Hey chica,whats up?" I said as cheerfully as I could sitting down on the bed next to her. She looked up at me and smiled.
"Just looking at some old pictures." Becky said quietly.
"Oh thats cool. Do you wanna do something today?" I said happily. My day was free and I always loved hanging out with my sister even though she was 4 years younger.
"Sure!!! What do you-" Becky started but what cut off by Courtney running up the stairs screaming.
"Faith!!! Becky!!! It's back!!!!! It's back!!!!!!" Courtney yelled.
"What's back??" Becky asked confused.
"Flight." Courtney said and our jaws dropped.

*Later that Night*
"Sweetie,are you sure?" my mom asked Courtney who was standing on our roof wings out-spread. It was a little past midnight and no one in our little neighborhood awake. We all stood to the side wondering if Courtney would take flight or fall to the ground when she jumped.
"Mom, I am possitive. I remember the feeling. I am aiming for the trampoline just in case ok??" Courtney said trying to calm our mom down.
"Ok sweetie. Just...be carefull." Mom answered.
With a simple nod Courtney backed up. She broke out into a running sprint leaping into the air just before the edge of the roof. It was amazing. Courtney had jumped higher than any human could. At least 6 feet into the air. Huge wings snapped out of the slits in her jacket. She downstroked hard closing her eyes. We all tensed as she fell. Again she downstroked. Gasps came from our mouths as she lifted into the air easily. Courtney looked at us with a huge grin.
"I can fly again!" she yelled. We all grinned. Something didn't feel quite right though. I looked at Becky who looked happy,but strangly disapointed.
"But we can't." I said finaly.

*The Next Morning*
"So why can Courtney fly again but not us??" I asked to no one inparticular.
"I don't know,Honey,but right now lets just be happy for Courtney ok?" Mom said calmly. It only made me angry.
"Mom I am happy for Courtney,but we need to focus on what is wrong!!! I don't want her to loose this again and I don't want us to have to live without it forever!! WE NEED ANSWERS MOM AND THERE IS NO GOING AROUND IT!!!" I yelled. I rarely lost my cool,but it was just too much to handle.
"Ok guys,we just need to think. Ok so today I went to Starbucks and met this awesome guy. We made plans for a movie. Other than that nothing special happend." Courtney said happily. Mine and Becky's heads swivled toward her.
"A guy?" Becky said. Courtney nodded furiously with a huge grin across his face.
"His name is Kevin and he is extremly cute. He asked to sit with me considering we were both alone. We talked and he asked me to a movie!! I can't wait for you guys to meet him." Courtney said. Just then her phone started ringing. She smiled wildly.
"Hello?" she said happily. Courtney held up a hand to say "hang on" and walked outside when she walked back inside she started jumping up and down.
"What??" I asked.
"Ok so that was Kevin. We exchanged numbers at the coffee shop and he said that he can't go to the movies because he forgot him and his brothers had something planned." Courtney said. I titled my head confused.
"And your happy about that why?" Becky said.
"Well...I asked him how old his brothers were. One is 15 and the other is 18. So....I invited them along!!!" Courtney yelled.
"You did what?!?!?!?!" I screamed.
"You heard me." she said simply.
"Oh my gosh!! What am I going to wear!" Becky screamed. I just looked at them stunned.
How could my sister set me up on a blind date!! Uh!!! This is going to be terrible. I bet he is some nerd who only eats soy products. Bleah. Oh God it is going to be a long night.
"You guys better go get ready. We are leaving in 2 hours."Courtney said running up to her room followed by Becky and I. Oh man let this night end soon.
Comments make our day!!!!!!! Your turn Court!!!!!! Can't wait!!!!!
