Jamie woke up to someone tugging his little finger. He slowly lifted his eye lids he saw his twin standing there with the closest thing to a smile on his face Jamie had seen on him after Silent Creek, and the life was back in his eyes.

"Took you long enough, time to get up sleeping beauty." Scott laughed

"No, I don't want to…" Jamie muttered half asleep.

"Too bad!" Scott sighed

"Get up, get up, get up, get up…" he sang, that was the only thing that got Jamie up as kids.

"Go away!"

"No! Get up, get up…"

"Your such a... a poop head!"

"Jamie-" Scott started to try and pursuade his brother to get up but stopped.

"Did you just call me a poop head?" Scott raised a brow."

"Well," Jamie said awake now

"I'm tired and it was the first thing that came to mind!"

"Whatever Jamie, But everyones asleep so would you shut up?" Scott whispered

"What? You where the one singing!"

"Then we can both shut up now get dressed." Scott muttered at Jamie

"Scott lighten up, you're so boringgg!" Jamie teased and with that he pounced onto his elder twin.

Within seconds Scott had pinned Jamie to the floor and kept him there as Jamie wriggled around trying to break free when Richard slumped in, his blond hair unkempt, and his eyes drowsy. He wore boxers and mismatching socks,

"Shuttup...will ya?" he grunted.

"He starte-" They both tried to blame the other but before they could Richard went back to bed.

Scott coughed awkwardly.

Jamie scratched the back of his head.

They both stood there figuring out what to do next.

"I'm hungry." Jamie broke the ice.

"Me too," said Scott

"I bet I can get to the kitchen before you can!" Jamie teased,

Scott smirked at his brother before shouting "No way!" And they both took off running.

From the study Joanna heard what had happened.

"Brothers." She muttered and went back to her work.

Within the next hour everyone had woken up; they ate breakfast washed up and then…

Nothing. They realised there was nothing to do because the T.V. had 'stopped working.'

"Really Scott? You had to throw the remote at me?" Matt glared at the Native boy

"Hey, it's your fault that you dodged it!"

"Well if you hadn't thrown it, I wouldn't have had to use my amazing skills and dodge it and it wouldn't have made a huge hole through the television!"

"Oh blame me why don't ya!"

Matt stared at Scott incredulously,

"You're kidding!"

"What do you mean?"

"Wow. You know maybe you should try using that thing in between your ears."

While Matt and Scott continued to wail at each other Jamie and Pedro shared a glance; that was all it took in the same moment they got up and tip toed out of the room, away from the arguing boys.

"Geez!" Jamie cried.

"I know! I wish they would… emm shut up" Pedro said timidly; unsure of his English.

"Hey," Jamie acknowledged

"That was pretty good!"

"What was?"

"Your English!"

"Oh," Pedro looked at the floor

"Thank you… You do not need to lie though"

"No I'm serious!" Jamie shouted,

"Look at me." He grasped Pedro's chin and forced him to meet his eyes,

"Do not doubt yourself, ok Pedro? We need everyone to be strong if we're going to beat the Old Ones!"

"Si, but…"

"But nothing! You're learning a new language, healing, being a good friend and coping with this whole mess of a life we all have. You're pretty awesome!"

Pedro looked back down at the floor.

"Thank you."

"Anytime."

Neither boy had anything else to say on that topic so Pedro tried to start a new topic,

"I like… ice cream." He stated.

Jamie took one look at Pedro and burst out laughing,

"Ice cream?"

"Si… Why do you laugh?"

"It was just such a random thing to say!"

"Random?"

"Weird." He restated.

"Ah, I see."

Jamie thought for a second,

"Do you want to go out for some ice cream?" He asked

Pedro considered it, "Si, I do."

He smiled at Jamie who returned it with a toothy grin.

"Let's go then!" Jamie cried, he then hooked his arm with Pedro's and dragged him off towards the door.

They strode down the street towards garage where Richard was so that he could drive them to town.

Their arms still linked.

No me mires, no me mires, no me mires… Pedro thought; Jamie heard it

Jamie understood that thought; it meant 'Don't look at me.' Why Pedro thought that he didn't know.

He couldn't help it; he looked at Pedro who was gazing at him with an expression he didn't recognize.

Realizing Jamie was looking at him a blush crept its way onto his bronze face.

Mierda…

Jamie understood that too 'Shit' Pedro had thought.

Before Pedro could push open the door to the garage Jamie pulled him aside,

"Kay passoe?" (What happened- Supposed to be spelled and said like: Qué pasó) He tried in horrible Spanish.

"Qué?" (What?) Pedro asked surprised at the American boy trying to speak his language

"Nada." (Nothing.) He answered when he realized what the boy meant.

"I heard your thoughts, don't lie to me Pedro."

"No soy…" (I'm not…) he lied

Jamie's face fell. For a reason unknown Pedro's secretiveness towards him hurt.

"Whatever." Jamie mumbled he turned back towards the hacienda.

"Dónde vas!"(Where are you going!) Pedro asked

"I'm not hungry anymore." He said as he walked back to the house.

Pedro's face rearranged into a look of confusion. It took him a second to decide what to do; leave him be or go after him.

Actually it wasn't much of a choice he sprinted after him before even finishing his thoughts.

"Jamie!" he called, Jamie ignored him.

"JAMIE!" he bellowed louder, Jamie once again gave him the cold shoulder.

"Why are you mad?" Pedro questioned catching up to the other boy.

"Never mind!" Jamie suddenly cried at him.

"Por favor Jamie, what happened?" He whimpered.

"Why don't you trust me?" Jamie he growled then he sighed,

"Obviously we don't see each other the same way."

"What do you mean?"

"What do I mean? What do you think I mean?"

"I don't know..?" Pedro did have an idea, but Jamie was already mad. He didn't want to make things worse if he was wrong.

"Guess!"

"You… don't want to be friends?" This wasn't his actual guess but he thought maybe this was what Jamie wanted to hear.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Pedro could imagine smoke coming out of Jamie's ears.

Jamie felt tears welling in his eyes, he tried to make this easier on himself, Pedro was clueless and it made Jamie feel a pain in his heart that was almost unbearable. He hardly knew this guy but he'd felt a strange feeling of adoration toward the Peruvian healer since he first gazed into his deep chocolate brown eyes. But it was obvious the other boy didn't feel anything towards him, so there was no point in even trying anything. So he said,

"You know what you're right. I don't want to be friends. And I don't want to talk to you and I don't want to be with you right now!"

It wasn't like Jamie to blow up about something so small but he felt like his heart was shattered, his hopes were crushed. He was hurt and felt worthless.

He stormed into the hacienda and locked himself in the bathroom. He turned on the shower stripped down to nude and stepped in the shower; with the water running no one would hear him cry.

Pedro wasn't sure what had just happened but he knew that it wasn't what he had hoped for, he was half dazed and half confused but he was completely upset. He knew that for sure.

As soon as he'd met Jamie in person; seen his long shaggy hair, dark skin and deep eyes he knew there was something different about this boy. Pedro had never felt this way.

When he was close to the other teenager he felt an odd tingling in his stomach, his face always got warm when he noticed Jamie looking in his direction and he had seemed to have picked up the habit of twiddling his fingers when Jamie spoke to him, Pedro loved the way Jamie tossed his messy brown hair; honestly it seemed to Pedro that he loved everything about Jamie.

The only thing was he didn't love were these feelings.

Just a note: Obviously this is a few days after the first chapter, it takes time for them to develop a sense of security and develop feelings. Plus if you noticed Scott and Jamie have their own room, i didn't really mention it but I tried to put it in there without taking the time to explain their room, because it didn't fit in with the plot of this chapter.

Another thing is Black Lighted Clouds (Who pointed out the fact that i didn't mention that this chapter was after a while) pointed out that at the beginning Scott isnt as 'Scott-ish' as he usually is. And I get that but i just wanted to show that Scott is more playful and sweet towards his brother. Thanks! I'll try to put out another chapter soon
