Nicholas looked at him and smiled slightly, "Don't worry about it," He stuffed his hands in his pockets and stared at the sky. It was getting late and he really didn't want to return home because of his mother. After all she forgot to spend his birthday with him like she promised in ordered to go to some stupid date with some man. Nicholas bit down on his lips and turned his attention to Jared. "Can I ask you for a favor?" He asked as he looked at him. Jared raised a brow and nodded. "S-Sure, what is it?" Nicholas rubbed his arm, "Can I stay at your house? Please?..." Jared smiled and nodded his head, "S-Sure but...I have to let my mom know, follow me." he said as he took off and started walking back to his house. Nicholas nodded and followed him to his house. When they arrived Jared opened the door and walked inside and walked to the kitchen, "Mama, my friend would like to stay over tonight, can he?" He asked her. His mother turned off the stove after she got done cooking the soup she was making and looked at him, "Sure he can, but does his mother know where he is?" Jared stared at her and sat Rodfer on the floor, "I'm not sure...I'll go ask." He said and stood up. Nicholas stayed by the front door looking around not sure if he should move or not just yet, soon Jared came out the kitchen and walked up to Nicholas, "She said you can stay, but...did you let your mother know where you are staying?" He asked and looked at him. Nicholas bit his lips and stared off to the side, "No...I didn't tell her, I really don't want to speak to her...but can you keep it a secret, I can pretend to call her." Jared looked at him and nodded his hand, "I'll let my mother know, you can go to my room, it's up the stairs and two doors down on the left." he said as he headed back to the kitchen and told his mom what Nicholas had said. Nicholas did as he was told and walked down the hallway and walked up to the stairs and walked up to the stairs and walked to his room and walked inside his room and looked at everything.
"Wow, so neat." He said and walked over to his bed and sat down and stared at his book shelf that was full of books. He stood up and walked over to the shelf and grabbed a book and grabbed one and flipped through the pages reading some of the words that was written in the book. Jared soon walked in the room and closed the door behind him, "She said you can call your mom after dinner." Nicholas jumped when he heard the sudden voice and looked at him and nodded his head and stared at the book in his hand and all the books on his dresser. "I see your a big fan of books."
Jared walked over to his bed and sat down, "Yea, I am, I always loved reading, so I ask my mama for lost of books. I got the one your holding for my birthday." He told. "That was the best day ever." Nicholas looked at him and than at the book, "It seems you and your mother get along well." He said and placed the book back. "Yup, we do, I love mama very much, Papa went on a business trip so right now it's just mama that's taking care of me." Nicholas walked over to his dresser and stared down at it as he ran his fingers gently across the surface, "It must be nice, to have your mother do things for you, do be with you when it's your birthday and not run off with some dumb guy who's eventually going to dump her! She's nothing but a stupid slut!" He yelled and balled up his fist clenching his jaw a bit. Jared sat up and looked at him frowning a bit, "Did your mother do that to you?" Nicholas looked at him, "It doesn't matter, i'm starving, I smelt food cooking earlier, is it ready?" Jared slowly nodded still a bit worried, "Oh you mean the soup mama was making, it's ready." He said and got up off his bed and headed to the door, "Let's go eat." he said and walked out the door to the kitchen.
Nicholas nodded and walked out after him and walked inside the kitchen and went to go sit at the table. Jared's mother turned around and smile, "You must be his friend, welcome to the Fuller's home, you can call me Celis and may I ask your name?" Nicholas looked up at her, "Nicholas..." He said to her. "Nicholas? My that's a lovely name." She turned to the cabinet and grabbed three bowls and started filling them with soup one by one and gave a bowl to Jared and Nicholas before fixing her own and sat down at the table. Nicholas smiled to himself and grabbed his spoon and started to eat his food, "This is really good." He said and continued to eat. Celis chuckled softly and smiled gently, "I'm glad you like it." She said and smiled. Jared smiled and finished all his food in a slit second. "Another." He yelled happily and helped out his bowl. Celis smiled and grabbed his bowl and stood up and walked to the stove and filled his bowl with some more soup and walked back over to the table and placed it down in front of him. Nicholas finished his soup and wiped his mouth with his hand. Celis looked at him, "Do you want some more too?" Nicholas shook his head no, "No thank you, i'm full." he said to her and grabbed his bowl and stood up heading over to the sink and washed out his bowl. "Thank you for dinner, I have to call my mother now, where's your house phone?" Celis smiled politely, "It's in the living room dear, it's just down the hall to the right." Nicholas nodded and walked out the kitchen and walked out the kitchen and down the hall and inside the living room and grabbed the house phone and dialed his mother number but didn't press the call button.
