Chapter 5
Dia made sure to walk really slow, Ruby and everyone else came back from their trip…they had lost the competition. That was exactly what Dia was afraid of, she knew they would lose, and she knew her sister was going to get hurt. Dia leaned her head back against her sister’s shoulder. She was asleep on her back, Dia kept her arms firmly wrapped around her sisters legs to make sure she didn’t slip off her back…she was already hurt enough.
When Dia got home she quietly closed the doors behind her as she made her way to Ruby’s room. She gently placed her sister down on her bed, she lightly rubbed at her cheeks trying to wipe away dried tears…she hated seeing her like this. She grabbed a corner of Ruby’s blanket and dragged it over her to make sure she was comfortable and warm while she slept. She was about to leave but she wrist was grabbed. “onee-chan” She heard Ruby whine, she turned to look at her. Her gaze quickly softened as she watched at the girl wipe at her eyes, she let go of her wrist and lifted the blanket. “Can you please stay with me tonight?” Ruby asked with pleading eyes. Dia looked at her and felt like she was going to explode, she just could never say no to her. “Of course” She said softly with a reassuring smile as she climbed into the bed next to Ruby. As soon as she was in arms were quickly wrapped around her and a head was pushed into her chest. Dia smiled happily when she felt Ruby smile against her, she began to lightly pet her before giving her a small kiss on the top of her head.
“Sleep now Ruby, I’m here”
