"What do you mean we've been bankrupt?" I asked.
Ma sighed. "Well, it seems that all the money we had is gone,"
"How?"
"We don't know, your papa thinks someone robbed our money, but, that can’t be." Ma said.
I was completely shocked. If we're bankrupt, does that mean we're poor? I thought.
"Ma, what if they kick us to the streets?" I asked.
"Oh Sarah, that’s not going to happen. Your papa and I are going to work very hard this month. By then, we'll have money to pay the car, the electricity. But, for now, can you not use so much electricity, such as the TV, or the lights. Can you do that for me?" She asked.
I sighed. "Ok."
"Ok, and, please don't tell Jenna, or Harry, they don't understand. I'm going to tell Annie later." Ma said.
I nodded, and I silently placed the plates on the table.
After our silent dinner, I went up to my room.
I clapped my hands together, and stared at the picture of an angel over my bed.
"Oh, Please, please, lord, keep this family together. I don't want to end up in the streets. I want to be a happy family, living in this house," I said, "Amen." And went to sleep.
"Wake up, Sarah!" Annie said.
"What?" I asked in a sleepy voice.
"We have to get out of the house, now!" She said.
"Why?"
"No time for questions, Sarah, hurry."
I got up and went to the living room where Ma, Papa, Harry, Jenna, and Louie were standing with luggage and suite cases.
"What's going on?" I asked Ma.
"No time for questions, Sarah. Get some clothes and your special items, and hurry!" Ma said.
When I went to my room, I was completely confused. What happened? What did I miss? Did I sleep through a whole month? I thought.
I got some clothing, and the picture of the angel.
I went back to the living room, "What’s going on? I'm dying to know!" I said.
"No time for questions Sarah." Harry said.
"Yeah, No time for questions, just be quiet." Jenna said.
"No time for silly questions, Sarah." Annie said.
"Yeah, No silly questions, Sarah." Louie said.
"Louie, you can talk?" I asked.
"No time for silly questions, Sarah, how many times have we told you?" Jenna said.
"But, Louie is a Baby, he can’t talk!" I said.
"He always was able to talk, Sarah, no more silly questions!" Annie said.
"What's going on here??!!" I yelled.
"Stop yelling!" ma said.
"What's going on?" I asked desperately.
"We are moving to the streets, Sarah! Just be quiet now that you know." Papa said.
"What, what happened?" I asked.
"Be quiet Sarah! No time for silly questions!" Harry said.
I began to feel dizzy.
"No, no, this can't be, no, no, this is not real! Noooooooo!" I yelled.
Then, suddenly, I stood up.
"What? What happened?" I asked when I saw Annie and Jenna staring at me.
"You were sleep talking." Jenna giggled.
"I was?" I asked rubbing my eyes.
"Yeah! You kept saying, what's going on, what’s going on??!!" Annie said.
"So, it was just a dream?" I asked.
"Uh, I guess so." Annie said.
"Whew!! Oh, thank god!" I said.
"What were you dreaming about?" Jenna asked.
"Well, Annie woke me up, and I kept asking what’s going on, and Louie talked, and we were moving to the streets, and everyone was yelling at me saying, no more silly questions!" I said quickly.
Jenna and Annie stared at me, and burst out laughing.
"Louie could talk!!!??" Annie laughed.
They were rolling on the floor, and laughing.
"You have some WEIRD dreams, Sarah." Jenna said.
"I'm just happy it wasn't real," I said.
I was very happy.
