It was a short walk from Fredbear's Diner to Shaun's house, it was a small 1 floor house with a kitchen, a living room, and two bedrooms.
"It's not much, but it's home…" Shaun said. Shaun walked to the kitchen, and opened the fridge. "You kids hungry?"
My stomach made a growling noise, and I nodded. "I'll see what I can cook up, you and Claire just go and watch TV." Shaun responded.
"Come on, Travis…" Claire said, smiling.
"O-Okay." I stuttered.
We turned on the TV, and the first thing that came on was a four-year-old cartoon called, "Fredbear and Friends." I hated the show, because it was affiliated with that restaurant.
"Please switch the channel." I pleaded.
"Alright…" Claire kept on switching the channel, until some other show came on. I forgot what it was called, but it was fairly entertaining, it was an old sitcom involving a family, nothing too major.
An hour passed, and finally dinner was ready. Shaun called us, and we began walking towards the dinner table.
"I ate a few hours ago, so I only made two plates" Shaun said.
It was some spaghetti, I took a bite, and it was delicious, I began to eat faster.
"Don't eat too fast, or you'll choke." Shaun suggested. I listened to him, and I slowed my pace.
Claire giggled, and I was wondering what was so funny. "You're acting like you haven't eaten in ages." Claire said, smiling. "I know my brother is a good cook, but I have never seen someone go at it that fast."
I swallowed my food, and I wiped my face with a napkin. "I'm sorry…" I said. "But I really haven't eaten much lately, my brother doesn't bother cooking for me, he just lets me starve."
"What is your brother's name?" Shaun asked.
"Alex…" I answered.
"Travis, I will talk to him tomorrow," Shaun said, with a serious look in his eye. "It's late, why don't you go ahead and sleep in Claire's room? It's not girly or anything, and I know that you won't try anything."
"Try anything?" I questioned.
"Never mind, just wait till you're older." Shaun said, blushing.
"Come on, Travis," Claire said, tugging at my shirt. "My bed is big enough for the both of us."
"Okay." I said, softly. "But I don't have a pair of pajamas."
"Hold on." Shaun went into his room, and came out with a pair of pajamas that would fit me. "These were mine when I was your age. I don't why I kept them, but you can have them if you want." I grabbed Shaun's old pajamas, they were a checkered blue and green, and in great shape.
"Thank you, Shaun." I said, bowing down.
"You're welcome, Travis." Shaun caressed my head, which surprised me, the only thing I ever got on my head, was nuggies from Alex, and they hurt a lot.
"Can you do that again?" I asked, gently. Shaun smiled, and he caressed my head again.
"Come on, Travis…" Claire said, softly.
"I'm coming…" I responded, shyly.
I followed Claire into her room, it was just an ordinary room with light blue wallpaper, and purple bed sheets.
"Shaun wasn't kidding when he said, "my room isn't too girly." Claire said, as she went into her closet, and changed into her pajamas. I turned around and did the same.
"Wow, those pajamas suit you, Travis." Claire remarked.
"T-Thank you…" I stuttered.
"You're pretty shy, aren't you?"
I nodded.
"Look, you don't have to worry." Claire said, gently. "Shaun is going to talk to Alex, and we'll see what we can do from there."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I mean, that Shaun will either try and convince him to treat you better, or he'll report your abuse to the police." Claire answered.
"If Shaun has to report this, then what will happen to Alex?" I asked.
"I don't know, but I'm guessing that your parents will get the blame for not being there."
"Oh…"
I was very nervous around her for some reason. I felt safe around her, but at the same time, I was afraid of saying something wrong to her. "What's wrong with me?" I wondered.
"Hey Travis…"
"Yeah…"
"How come you're so afraid of the animatronics?" Claire asked.
"Well, I have nightmares about Fredbear mostly," I admitted. "I am sitting on the middle floor, crying my eyes out, and my brother and his friends are there. It's my birthday, and as a prank they lift me up, and they throw me in Fredbear's mouth, but before his mouth could crush my head, I wake up, and I have been scared of them ever since my brother showed me pictures of the older models."
"Gosh, that sounds very scary…" Claire said, worried.
I began to lie down, and Claire got closer to me for some reason, and my heart started beating like crazing. "What are you doing, Claire?" I asked.
"Keeping you company." Claire answered. "As long as I'm right next to you, you won't be having those nightmares."
I began to tear up, but I wipe them away before they could start falling down. I turned towards her, and she was sound asleep. I grabbed her hand so I could feel safe, and I said, quietly: "Thank you for being my first friend, Claire."
Yes, I am having a romance between a two kids, sue me...
In all seriousness, I just want a happy life for this kid, and I personally can't forgive his brother, even if he is sorry. To me, it doesn't mean a damn thing if your sorry, you still caused your brother to go into a coma, and is now on life support. I don't care if he is sorry, he should've known that his actions may have eventually led to serious consequences, but I'm digressing.
Anyway, I will try and make this at least 10 chapters long, if I can. Hopefully you guys will enjoy this story, constructive criticism is appreciated thought, so don't be afraid to comment.
