The water from my shower is running down my neck as I feel the smooth and slick water slip down my body as I dig into my hair with my nails cleaning the sweat from the base of my roots. I take deep breaths of the steam into my lungs, thinking about all the choices I have made and how far I've come from a boy in a abandoned apartment sleeping on a sleeping bag with minimal clothes and sneaking off for showers in the building. I rinse the soap from my skin as I slide my hand over to shut off the water. I push open the glass door and grab a towel to dry off my body. I swipe the towel over my back to slide off the water damping the towel. I look in the mirror and see muscles in my neck flex lightly and my differinciated eyes in there color. I give myself a smile into the mirror as I see I've slept a whole night without without waking up before the sun is over the horizon. I wrap the towel around my waist and walk into my bedroom where I see Bree's bare back covered lightly with a sheet sleeping with her head snuggled into a pillow. I walk to my dresser and open it grabbing a pair of boxers and a white tank top, slipping them on. I look back to the bed and watch her sleeping with the slightest touch of a smile grazing her face. I walk over and lightly kiss her cheek and step into the kitchen to make something to eat. I open the fridge and see the added options I have from last time, but I seem to always make omelets kinda of our tradition for when she stays over. I crack the eggs into the pan and fill it with extra food to add to the taste. I flip it closed and allow it to finish as I place it onto a plate. I sit them on the table and go to my cabinet and grab to glasses and sit them down on the island. I open the door to my fridge and grab the orange juice and pour it into the glasses. I slide the juice back into the fridge and grab the glasses on the table. I stretch my back out and walk to my bedroom to wake her up. I walk in the door and walk to the opposite side of the bed and touch the side of her face brushing her hair out of her face. I look at every detail of her face to her hair line Elton the curves of her chin. I move forward and kiss her lightly to wake her. She let's out a groan and rolls over out of the way.
"It's time to wake up." I whisper into her ear.
"No, I'm staying here. Never leaving." She says opening her eyes lightly to see me. She puts her lips out to a pout.
"Well...I did make this food, but if you want to stay here..." I start as she sits up.
"God I'm starving... Maybe I'll just come back here after I eat." She says looking towards me. I give a slight smile then switch it to a frown.
"As much as I want that... You have to get to that island, and I have to go to the field today to meet the team and coach." I say to her. She frowns at me and slides the pout back onto her face.
"I forgot all about that..." She says. "Crap." Is all I hear her say as she takes me in a hug onto the bed. She tucks her head into the crook of my neck and took in a deep breath.
"You smell good." She says lightly, I laugh lightly at her and slide my hand down her hair.
"Yea I took a shower earlier...THEN I made food a thought some one was hungry." I say with a smile on my voice.
"And who might that be?" She says sarcastically.
"Oh some girl I know, really pretty. Lovely hair and a great smile." I tell her into her ear. She sits up and smiles lightly at down at me.
"Hmm sounds like a great girl." She says lowering her lips onto me.
" oh the best." I say reaching her lips with my own kissing her lightly. "Now put on some clothes and come eat, it's getting cold." I tell her softly jumping up from the bed.
"Ugh I don't want to now." She says while I laugh at her.
"Well no choice come on." I say laughing as I walk out. I go to the table and sit there quietly with my eyes closed. I breath deeply when I hear the chair back up against the floor. I open my eyes and see her in a light white robe. I give her a quizzical look and she smiles lightly.
"I need to shower before I put my clothes back on." She says. I give her a small smile and grab my fork digging into my omelet.
I hate book stores. Never really been much into reading always did everything I could to get around it. So when I got the huge book of books for the law program for a lawyer I knew that I wasn't going to enjoy these classes. So I look though the shelves of numerous books to find the books that were thrown on my list.
"John..." I hear from behind me, I turn quickly as I remember that voice.
"Annabeth hey what are you doing?" I ask her as I see the pile of books in her arms. She looks down at them and shuffles them in her arms to the other side.
"Just...same thing as you I guess, what classes did you take?" I look down at my books and look back up.
"Oh...law, I'm thinking about being a lawyer." I tell her as she shakes her head. " what about you?"
"Oh I'm going to um be a counselor actually...I want to help people out you know, I feel like we need more people that are willing to help anyway they can." She says blushing lightly at that. "You probably think that's stupid..."
"No I understand that completely actually, I mean...I don't know but I understand." I tell her. I really did there's so many people out there trapped in situations where they have no choice but to stay, or people get in the way and get hurt.
"I always knew you was a good guy..." She says looking down at her hands. I let a smile cover my face, I don't know why but this made me happy to hear. "Do you want some help finding your books, I'm almost done?" I look at her with a small smile on my face.
"Sure." Our conversations go from our graduation to our future plans at college. We talk about Bree and how things are going. I ask her there's a special man out there for her yet but she just shrugs it off. But one conversation that comes up grabs my attention.
"Hey did you hear about that vigilante. The one that went after those guys blowing up the hospital." She says. I stop where I'm at and just stand there.
"Yeah I heard about him. Why?" I ask her. She grabs her phone and types something in and pulls up a video.
"Look at this they got the cameras from around the factory and released it." She pulls the phone in front of my face as I see three guys standing by there cars when I see myself zip down and beat the two of them that helped when they fall unconscious I see mtlyself turn and shoot my cuff into his leg as I see him pulled to me. She pauses the video and points to his back.
"Look, do you see that?" She asks looking at me questioningly. I swallow down the air in my mouth and nod.
"Yea, what do you think about this?" I ask her.
"I think this boy was beat as a child or was in a tragic accident that made him want to help people. Or he just likes beating on people. But what he did...I like that he wants to get people off the street, but I think he might of went a little far." She says looking at the side of my face as I continue to watch the video. "You OK?" She asks touching my arm lightly. I look down at it quickly when she pulls her arm away quickly.
"Yea but...my mom was in that hospital...she um didn't make it." I tell her looking her in the eyes. I see her take a quick breath in and look down.
"Oh I didn't know." She says shutting of the screen on her phone and quickly putting it in her pocket.
"It's ok really. I just didn't really like talking about it." I say to her softly. She looks up at the books and grabs one on the shelf quickly.
"Are you ready?" She asks quickly as well.
"Yea I got everything." I tell her as shuffles her books over. We walk to the counter and lay them on the counter where a girl with short brown hair and small petite glasses on her face.
"Is this all for you?" She asks softly chewing her gum.
"Yea this should be it, right?" I check with annabeth.
"Yea if not I'll be back." She says laughing softly. I give her a slight smile and look back to the cashier.
"Can I just say you all make a cute couple." She says. Making me and annabeth look towards each other quickly laughing.
"Oh um that's sweet of you but um we sent dating." Annabeth says to her. The cashier gets a sad look on her face.
"Oh are you gay?" I start chocking immediately.
"No...nono." I say laughing. "Why?"
"The hot ones are always gay..." She says with a smile.
"Oh." I say continue laughing. "Well thanks...I guess." We finish getting our books and get them in bags. We say a quick thank you as we walk out the door as I see her walk away from the parking lot.
"Hey do you need a ride?" I ask her. She turns and shakes her head lightly.
"No it's just a few blocks...I should be fine." She quickly says.
"Then I shouldn't be a long ride...come on you haven't even seen my car." I tell her. She looks behind her and back to me.
"Okay...if you're sure..."
"I insist, come on." I tell her as she walks towards me. We get to my car and she stops.
"Wow this is your car? Like yours yours?" She asks. I laugh at her quickly and slide into the drivers seat.
"Yea it's nice I like it." I say to her as she gets in. I start the car and drive out of the parking lot and too her house. When we get there I see a tall apartment building.
"Wow tall building." I say. She let's a little laugh out as we drive into the parking lot.
"Yea it's got some size to it. I'm on floor 16, so I got one nice view." She says smiling lightly. I park the car and sit there for a second.
"Well it was nice seeing you annabeth. Maybe you can come to a soccer game sometime, if you want you know?" I tell her as she smiles downward towards her lap.
"Yea I might just do that sometime. Well thank you for giving me a ride home, it was nice seeing you to." She says opening the car door.
"I'll see you soon annabeth." I tell her as she shuts the door. I give her a small smile when she turns around and waves lightly. I put the car in reverse and drive home. Ready for soccer practice just a week away.
