Chapter 2

"Was that really necessary?" Neo said, rubbing his butt after Pugsley put him down. Pugsley closed the door and walked over to the bed. Neo followed him. Pugsley laid down and patted the space beside him. It was a big bed and both him and Pugsley could sleep there with a big space between them, but Neo didn't feel comfortable sleeping there. "I think I'll just sleep in the floor." Pugsley pulled him down to the bed. "Or not."

Neo laid there for a while. It wasn't until he knew Pugsley was asleep before he could fall asleep himself.

Neo woke up that night. He got up and started pacing. His nightmare was still very vivid to him.

Suddenly, a hand came up to him. Neo freaked out, screamed, and jumped back. He jumped back into someone. He spun around and backed up real quick. He fell on his butt.

"Calm down, jumpy." Pugsley said with a smirk. Neo looked over at the hand with horror. "That's Thing." Pugsley explained.

The hand jump on Neo's shoulder. Neo fainted.

Later, he woke up to the banging noises of pans coming from downstairs. At first, Neo was confused cause at home he was the only one who cooked. Then he remembered he wasn't at home and sat up.

He was alone in Pugsley's room. He sat on the bed for a moment not sure if he dare venture to anywhere else in the Addams house.

Finally, he decided to head to the kitchen. When he got there, everyone was already there.

"Hey Neo." Pubert said. "Stacy called and said you should get your butt home."

Neo groaned at the thought of home. "Ok." he said and turned to leave.

"Oh, you must stay for breakfast." Gomez said.

Neo looked at the food. He wasn't sure what it was. "That's ok. I really should be going." Neo turned to leave, but came face to face with Wednesday.

"Sit down and eat." she said in a tone that made Neo back up in fear. "Now." she demanded and he ran to the table and sat, afraid of what would happen if he didn't.

So he ate the… what ever it was. It wasn't that bad. He mostly talked to Pubert while they ate. Neo noticed Pugsley watching him. He couldn't tell what the look in Pugsley eyes was, but he thought it was curiosity. Maybe concern.

"Well I should get going. Thank you for breakfast." Neo said as he headed toward the door.

"You should come back again." Pubert said walking Neo to the front door. "Oh, and tell Stacy I said Hi."

"Ok." Neo said as he walked out of the house. He was about to the gate when Pugsley came out. Neo didn't say anything as Pugsley just walked beside him.

They were about halfway to Neo's house when Pugsley finally broke the silence.

"Who's Marcus?" Pugsley asked.

Neo stopped dead in his tracks and turned to look at Pugsley. "What?"

"Last night, in your sleep, you said the name Marcus and you sounded scared when you said the name." Pugsley told him.

Neo looked at the ground. He knew he had a habit of sleep talking. It was one of the reasons he didn't want to share a room with Pugsley. "He's nobody. Bye." Neo said and ran inside, leaving Pugsley confused.

Neo sighed as he closed the door.

"There you are." Stacy said coming up to him.

"Hey. Your friend Pubert said hi." Neo explained.

"Did he say anything about me?" Stacy asked quickly. "Not that I care, just curious." Neo shook his head. "Oh." she said and walked away.

That was weird, Neo thought.

Pugsley just stood there looking at the door. That was weird, he thought.

"Who are you?" Someone asked from behind him. Pugsley turned to see two guys. Both tall. One had brown hair and green eyes. The other had black hair and had blue eyes. "I asked you a question." the black haired boy said.

"My name's Pugsley."

"Pugsley?" The black haired boy asked sarcastically.

"Pugsley Adams" He answered back to the black headed boy, the other one seem to have a flash of fear in his eyes for only a second.

"How do you know my brother?" the black haired boy asked.

"You must be Rick." Pugsley asked the black haired boy nodded. "Your brother and I had to do an art project together."

"Sorry you got stuck with him." Rick laughed. The brunette rolled his eyes. "Oh, this is Josh."

"Hello" Pugsley said a little stiffly. "Well, I'm just going to go." He turned and walked away. Rick seems like a an asshole. Pugsley thought.

"Hey freak!" Rick yelled up to Neo's room as he walked into the house. Josh trailing behind Rick as he walked up the stairs.

Neo never understood how the two could be friends. Rick was mean and vicious. Josh was kind, sweet, and only occasionally rude.

"What do you want Rick?" Neo asked.

"Saw your boyfriend. Always thought you were gay." Rick laughed.

Neo sighed. "He's not my boyfriend. I just got paired up with him for an art project."

"Whatever." Rick said as him and Josh headed out to the backyard to play basketball. Rick hit Neo on the head on his way out.

Neo sighed. This was probably going to be a long day.

A really long day.
