As their new 'patient' trudged upstairs to his room, where he would be confined for the next three days, the Alejo family ran around the house knocking over furniture to find anything that could possibly make Zack more comfortable. He was their eldest brother and son, for goodness's sake, and this was another serious accident he had been to.
Taylor gave Marissa the boombox, which she loaded with Zack's favorite CDs and placed inside his room. Jess grabbed a bag of candy and ran to give it to him, stopping as Meggie came up the stairs with a plate of her homemade cookies. The 16-year-old screamed dramatically and scrambled back into her room to change for school as Meg scowled after her.
As Marissa watched, Meg opened the door to Zack's room and shut it behind her, smiling sweetly. Almost immediately, howls of terror erupted from inside that door, and the rest of the family shook their heads.
"Come on, Zack, I whipped up this new combination just for you. Strawberry-jam-and-peanut-butter cookies." Smiling eagerly, Meg popped one into his mouth, put the cookie plate down, and walked out of the room, insulted, as Zack retched with the taste. Jess came in.
"HeyZackgottagobuthavefunathomehereallaloneanddoyouneedanything??"
"Uh, yeah, do you know anyone with the last name Ramirez?"
For some reason, Jess turned a deep shade of red. "Yeahwhatdoyouneed?"
"Could you give this to Candi Ramirez, please? Probably the older sister of whoever you know." He took out a slightly crumpled letter from his pack and handed it to Jess.
She looked down. "I'm not sure I can give it directly. I mean, I don't know, but I'll give it to Dad. He knows everyone's address, so he can deliver the letter to the Ramirez's A.S.A.P." With that she ran out, not waiting for a response.
Zack sighed and only hoped his letter would get to Candi soon.
