Ch 2

"Your not going tell me why, are you?" asked Ulrich as they finished their card game, since according to Jason light's out was a few minutes. "Nope" confirmed Jason who put the cards in the drawer of the bedside table, "Well can you at least tell me how long you've been here" persisted Ulrich who never liked being kept in the dark. For awhile Jason didn't answer and Ulrich had just about to give up when he heard Jason speak, "4 years I'm 16" was all Jason said before the lights turned off.

Ulrich climbed into his bed and tried to go to sleep, unfortunately he never could fall asleep on the first night in a new place. So he settled for listening to Jason's deep breathing as he was asleep within minutes, of course this got boring after a while. Ulrich searched his duffel bag for something to do, until he was tired enough to sleep. After looking under some shirts he found it, his GBA(Game Boy Advance).

He was just about to start his game, when he heard a noise coming from Jason's bed. When he turned to look he saw Jason tossing and turning, while muttering something Ulrich had to strain to hear. "s..sorry mommy I didn't mean to kill you" muttered Jason like a child who broke a vase and about to be scolded, This scared Ulrich so he tried wake Jason up. Ulrich was about to learn a valuable lesson, never wake Jason when he's in a nightmare.

Ulrich tried to shake Jason awake, but as soon as he did that Jason's eyes snapped open. Before Ulrich could asked if he was okay, Jason's arm shot out and grabbed Ulrich's neck. While Ulrich was having trouble breathing Jason pushed him onto the floor still holding his throat, and cocked his arm back like he was about hit him. But Jason's fist stopped a couple inches in front of Ulrich's face.

Jason blinked slowly as if coming out of a trance. "Jas..son can..nt breathe" gasped Ulrich when he noticed Jason's hesitation.

Jason looked at where the voice came from, and when he noticed where his hands were he immediately let go and back away. Ulrich sat up rubbing his sore throat, giving Jason a wary look. "What the hell was that all about?" Ulrich asked once he was sure his voice still worked, "You woke me up during a nightmare" said Jason like it was the most obvious answer.

"I know that" said Ulrich indignantly "I meant do you always attack people in your sleep?". "That depends did you try to wake me by shaking my shoulder?" asked Jason, this threw Ulrich for a moment before he recovered. "Yea why?" Ulrich asked, "Next time I have a nightmare just tickle my foot" said Jason before he climbed back into his bed. "what did you mean when you said you didn't mean to kill your mom?" asked Ulrich, Jason turned to him sharply.

"When did I say that?" demanded Jason angrily, "You were muttering in your sleep" said Ulrich who shrank from him. Jason's anger vanished as quickly as it came, "My mom died giving birth to me, my father was a bastard he kept telling me it was my fault she died" said Jason quietly. "Oh I'm sorry to hear that" said Ulrich sincerely.

"Tomorrow I'll show you around here, so you know where everything is" said Jason before he rolled over ending the conversation. Ulrich climbed into his bed and surprisingly was asleep before his head hit the pillow. He was awoke by something soft hitting him, it was a pillow. "Time to get up if you want breakfast" said Jason as he was getting dressed. Ulrich hurriedly threw his clothes on and followed Jason to the cafeteria.

"What's for breakfast?" asked Ulrich as he and Jason stood in line to get their food. "Same thing it is every other day, eggs toast and bacon" said Jason, as they collected their trays and sat down at a table. Soon two people sat down on the other side of the table. The one on the right was a girl with short dark red hair.

The other person was a buy with pale blue hair. "Hey Jason" said the red head cheerfully, "Hey Jamie, hi Mike" said Jason to the girl and boy respectively. "who's the new kid?" asked the boy now know as Mike, "this is my new roommate Ulrich Stern" said Jason. "Ulrich these are my best friends and the only people in juvie I trust, Jamie Evan and Mike Trekker" said Jason gesturing to the to the boy and girl who gave him weird looks.
