They all sat down on the couch with a plate of pizza in hand. "Well it all started one day when I was little and opened a door I shouldn't have…." Jenny began. A couple hours later the pizza was gone and the story was finished. "So that's why you flipped out when you saw my sketch, because this Julian guy is supposed to be gone?" Sydney asked.
"Yes, he's completely evil and he's probably back again to get jenny" tom said while squeezing jenny's hand tightly. "But we're not going to let that happen, I promise" he continued while gazing deeply into jenny's evergreen eyes. "He didn't look evil, just really sad." Sydney muttered, more to herself than anyone else.
"No, he's evil! Weren't you listening to a thing we said?" tom practically yelled. "Yes, I was," Sydney said irritatedly, "and I don't recall him doing anything at all evil." "Don't recall, did you really hear what we said!" tom was yelling now. "Yes I did! I recall him saving all your lives" Sydney yelled back while crossing her arms across her chest in defiance.
"Uuggghhh! Why can't you get it through your head, he's E-V-I-L!" tom spelled out slowly, clenching his fists in anger. "I'm done talking to you, I'm going to bed" Sydney fumed as she stormed off to her room. "Fine!" tom grumbled back to the loud slam of a door upstairs.
A couple minutes later he drooped down as all the anger and tension faded. "That's the first fight we've ever had" tom practically whimpered, holding his head in his hands and sighing heavily. "Oh Tommy, it's okay, I'm sure by tomorrow things will have cooled off and everything will be back to normal" jenny said reassuringly as she patted tom on the back. "You think so?" tom said hopefully as he lifted his head to look at jenny with his big chocolate brown eyes like an expectant puppy.
"I know so" jenny said as she gave tom a big hug. "I gotta go now Tommy, but I'll see you later" "okay, bye thorny" tom said with a slightly forced smile. Tom dragged himself off to bed and fell asleep almost as soon as his head hit the pillow.
The next morning Sydney woke up and quietly got dressed, grabbed her drawing supplies and left tom a note saying she had gone to the library because she knew he would freak out if she told him where she was really planning to go. "I'm sorry Tommy" she whispered as she slowly closed the front door and made her way to the park where she had sketched Julian.
