why i hate thunderstorms

 As a little kid I was always terrified of thunderstorms and I still am. It's  kind of embarrassing I'm not even 10 anymore I'm 15 years. I don't know what about thunderstorms scare me maybe it's the loud noises maybe it's the flashing light or I'm just a scaredy cat.  I'm not like my sister Morgon who is now the former champion of Kalos.  She's brave she's strong she's tough. Me though not really although I did meet Xerneas and Xerneas has become a very important member of my team. I bumped into Akari " hey." She said to me. " hey how are things going?'  I asked her. " good what about you?"  she asked me. " I've been good although I wish people would stop asking me if I was going to battle the gym leaders."  I reply. " well just ignore those people." She said to me as it started to rain. Then I remembered that I totally left Liliana and Seth waiting for me with Greninja. "Crap  sorry I got to go Akari." I said running to where left them. When I get there I see Greninja shielding them from the rain. " I see you didn't forget about us after all." Liliana said jokingly. " what happened to I'm just going for a walk I'll be right back?" Seth jokingly asked. " I'm sorry I got distracted and then I started talking to Akari." I quickly apologize to them. " it's fine but we probably should get out of the rain?" Liliana suggested and Greninja look at me. " good idea Seth want you just stay with us for tonight before it starts storming?"  I asked him and he agrees. " But first you think you could call my parents?"   he asked me. I nod and tell " of course!" We race back to Morgon's place well technically my place too because I live there with Greninja still shielding us. When we arrive I start looking for my keys only to find Lucy the klefki has them. " thanks Lucy." I said as I unlock the door. And as soon as we walk in it starts to storm.  I feel my body start to tense up.  " hey come on don't just stand there." I hear my sister say from across the room.  We all sit down on the couch. " why were you so late?" she asked us. " I'm so sorry I got distracted." I said as I hear the storm raging on. " so Seth where will you be sleeping?"  she asked him. " I don't know I guess the couch." He said. " no no no no you can sleep in my room I'll sleep on the couch." I tell him not wanting him to sleep on the couch even though the living room has a bunch of windows where I can hear and see what's going on outside. " okay thank you."  he said with a smile.  I hear the sound of Thunder and I jump. " Branden you okay?" I hear Seth ask. " oh yeah I'm fine." Nervously lie trying to hide the fact that I'm afraid of thunderstorms.  I hear the sound of Thunder again and I grab Morgon's arm. " what's going on?"  Liliana asked neither her nor Seth have seen me like this. " he's afraid of thunderstorms."  my sister said giving me a big hug. " I'm sorry I know this is such a childish fear but can't help it."  I apologize to them. " it's okay we all have something we're afraid of so what if you're afraid of thunderstorms we don't care." Seth told me. " he's right you know we're not going to judge remember I'm afraid of needles." Liliana said. " yeah thanks guys."  I tell them as it really does make me feel better. We all say good night.  I think back to when I was little and Morgon was little. " Morgon big sister can I sleep in your room tonight?" 6 year old me asked. "Branden why did you wake me?" Barely even seven-year-old Morgon asked. " because it's storming out and I couldn't sleep." I told her probably looking like I was about to cry. " why didn't you tell Mom?" She asked still rubbing her eyes. " because I didn't want to wake her so can I please sleep in your room tonight?" I asked again hoping for an answer. " of course climb on in." she said. I snuggled with my big sister she made me feel safe. So naturally I asked her now " hey Morgon sis."  I said. " yeah what is it?" she asked looking at me. " could I sleep in your room tonight?" I asked her as if I was a little kid again. " of course." She said making me feel safe because my big sister was there to make me feel better.
