Alex's POV

I woke up sweating, curled up in a ball, with a dead body looking right at me. I looked around, their were bodies everywhere. Houses were wrecked, trees broke in half, and blood filled the streets. A smooth, almost familiar voice filled the scilence.

"Alex are you ok? It was just a nightmare to back to sleep."

"What...? Where..."

It was Jackie. Why was he here? Everything is getting blurry.

"Close your eyes. It's ok, go back to sleep"

I think I mumbled something, then fell back asleep. Until I was awoken by sirens. I scream. Someone runs away from me. What did I do? Everything is blurry. Where am I?

"Alex! It's ok! It's just the alarm clock! I had to get out of bed to get it. Calm down."

"What happend? Did I die?"

"No Alex. Did you have another nightmare? It's ok, the alarm just went off, now wake up or you'll be late for our special daaaate~!"

Oh shit. I almost forgot about today. I run downstairs, get some coffee in a to-go cup, throw on a light jacket, and call for Jackie.

"And you say that I'll be late, your the one still sitting on the bed laughing about something stupid."

"First of all, you can't go out into the public in your pjs and a turtleneck sweater. Next, you have time to eat breakfast, it doesn't matter if we're late or not, I only set the alarm so we wouldn't sleep all day. Which by the way I had to jump out of bed and run across the room to turn off so that you would stop screaming."

I'm an idiot, but at least I tried. Well, sort of. I was half dressed, My veins already full of coffee and I was starving.

"And I thought you were the smart one."

"Shut up, Jackie."

Time skip to later,

Alex is blindfolded, but thinks he knows

Where he's going based on all the noise.

"Annnnd... Were here!"

I take of my blindfold - which was forced on my head even through I insisted that it was stupid and ran into what I'm 90% sure was the same pole like 5 times. - and yep, I guessed it, he took me to the pet store again. I hate it there, but it makes him so happy I can deal with it. I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to cats, though. My mom was, and I always get sneezy when I go there.

"I have made the big desicion in this relationship to get a pet. And can you guess what it will be?

"Gee, I don't know, what animal do you like?"

"WERE GETTING A TURTLE. And wow I hope that was sarcasm or else you have to clean it's cage for the rest of your life."

"It was, of course. So we're picking out a turtle? Which one did you have in mind?"

I can't help but smile. I know he will go on rambling for a while, but that's part of what makes him so cute. He'll talk about the breed, the sex, the name, it's adorable. For some reason he's been obsessed with turtles from the moment he was born. Me and Laf bet that 'turtles' was his first word.

In the end, we decide on a turtle, who's name will be Scarlette. Also, SOMEONE has had a cage and some food for a while now, so we don't need to buy much.

Hey, author here! This is my first one, and if I get any positive reviews I'll make more. I'm definitely going to make a few more, but after that it's up to you. Anyways, the allergies part will come in to play next chapter! See you then!
