The older man covered his mouth while he yawned, his gaze moving from his niece to the man she had brought in to the house. Emilee has never been the kind of girl to bring strange men in the house while he was asleep or away so this just came as a surprise to him. He didnâ€™t recognize the man as one of her friends but the story seemed to hold some truth to it. Call it a parentâ€™s sixth sense, he could tell that there was a little more to the story than they were letting on. He has never had kids of his own, his wife had died in childbirth and their daughter had gotten strangled by her umbilical cord, so Emilee was the closest thing to a daughter heâ€™s ever had in the past two years she has lived with him. He tries his best to be a good parent to her even if he was far from perfect.<br/><br/>â€œYou bumped your head and now you have amnesia? Must have been one hell of an accident,â€ he commented, still sounding half asleep, mustering a half-hearted smile. He decided to let this go for now, he was too tired to deal with it anyway. There were times where he could be mean but he was far too tired to just jump up and kick this guy out of his house. Sometimes he could be very protective of his niece as well but Emilee wasnâ€™t being harmed by him in anyway so that solved that problem. â€œIâ€™ll let this slide, Iâ€™ve had a rough day, I need my sleep.â€ He started to head back upstairs but then stopped and looked over his shoulder, â€œBut, Miss Emilee, donâ€™t make a habit out of this.â€<br/><br/>Emilee smiled as her uncle went back up to sleep, speaking quietly just before he reached the top of the stairs, â€œDonâ€™t worry, Uncle Kyle, you know I wonâ€™t.â€ She really wouldnâ€™t make a habit out of this, she was telling the truth, she hardly ever has friends over anyway and when she did it was usually after school or something. Since this was not her house she would show her uncle some respect and besides she was pretty grown up for her age. For the most part she has grown out of most of the usual rebellious teenager things and plans for her life after high school. Until the flat tire happened she almost had her car all paid off and has saved enough money for college. Hopefully she would be living on her own in a few years. She wasnâ€™t going to make herself any promises, but she at least wanted to have some goals.<br/><br/>Letting out a sigh of relief she looked back to Polaris and smiled warmly, â€œIf you want to come with me tomorrow I guess you could. I canâ€™t really guarantee much excitement since all Iâ€™m doing is basic running around to get some things done before I have to go back to school. Oh and I work tomorrow night, I think.â€ She paused for a moment to remember if she really did work or not. Sometimes her schedule could be a little weird even if she did work at a gas station. Her boss was pretty reasonable with her most of the time but it was still such a pain in the ass most days. Once she was able to find another job, that paid better, she would. Until then she was pretty much stuck there, it wasnâ€™t like a better job was going to fall from the sky.<br/><br/>Such was how the wonderful thing called society worked: things donâ€™t fall from the sky as much as she really would want it too sometimes. It was unfortunate but she managed.<br/><br/>Emilee yawned suddenly, making her realize that she was still pretty tired despite her excitement. She really should probably get some sleep as well but she wanted to learn so much from Polaris that it was kind of keeping her awake. Then again he looked to be tired as hell himself so she figured she might as well let him sleep. Heâ€™s probably had a rough dayâ€¦ nightâ€¦ whatever. Whenever he uncle has a bad day he could be pretty grouchy if he doesnâ€™t get his sleep and the same went for her as well. The clock said it was almost one in the morning; she really should get some more sleep before she had to run those errands. Being more of a morning person she liked to get things done in the morning so she wasnâ€™t spending her entire day doing stuff she didnâ€™t want to anyway.
