[SORRY FOR THE REALLY LONG WAIT SCHOOL IS SO ANNOYING SOMETIMES AND I'M TRYING BEST TO FIT WRITING THESE STORIES BETWEEN HOMEWORK, EXAMS, STUDYING AND SUCH.]

You woke up leaning against the wall, as you looked forward you see Sumner asleep with the blanket wrapped around him. You chuckled and felt a cold draft blow into the room. You shivered and looked around to see the window opened, you got out of bed and went to the window and closed it shut, making sure there was no small trace of the cold air to come in. You walked back to bed and shoved your hands into you vest pockets and tucked your head into your sweater. You stared at the wall clueless to see Sumner shift about and turned to you with opened eyes, you glanced down to him and jumped a bit. You see him chuckle and sat up.

"Oh, sorry Alistair." He rubbed his head and stretched, you then see him shiver, you smirked and chuckle, he wasn't wearing a shirt as you had been told before, he doesn't sleep with one on... "Oh shit it's fucking freezing" he rubbed his arms and looked around to see no source of the cold setting he was in. "Why is it cold?" he looked to you for an answer.

"The window was opened while we... were asleep so I got up and closed it when I had woken up." You shifted a bit, fixing your position and sitting against the wall. He grabbed his blanket and wrapped around himself and sat against the wall as well.

"So your telling me that you slept with just your sweater and vest on?" You nodded and he chuckled "Damn dude, your crazy" You shrugged and tilted your head to get your bangs out of your eyes. You looked at him and he had his head down in his knees. You heard a knock at the door and you looked to it making sure you heard right. Another knock came from the door. You got up and Sumner picked his head up looking to the door and as you opened it, you saw his mom smiling.

"Morning boys! it's sure is cold today huh?"

"Good morning, it seems so. Sumner is too wrapped up in his blanket, he's over there..." You moved and pointed to Sumner wrapped up like a cocoon, he saw you point to him and he tried to get his legs out but he falls over in the process. You chuckled and so did his mom. You see him blush and he managed to get the blanket off, he walked to the door.

"Uhmm...hey mom! what's up?" He rubbed his head and you chuckled until he mushed your face. Which in results made you laugh even more. "Alistair shut up! it wasn't funny!" He started whining and you kept laughing; trying your best to hold it in. "Arrggh... Nevermind! so what did you need mom?" you heard her giggle.

"I need some help with errands, can you help me today Sumner? Your sister is too busy to even open her bedroom door!" You see Sumner rub his face.

"Hold on." Sumner left and you heard banging on the door "Allison open up!"

"Why should I Sumner?"

"Because if you ignore mom I'm not gonna take you to your concert, and it's your favorite band, you know you need an adult. So get the hell out here!"

"You wouldn't Sumner! you hate seeing me upset"

"Oh well, I won't feel bad for you if your ignoring mom's requests."

"OH FINE!"

You saw Sumner walk back with a girl who looks like a 16 year old. She huffed and the mom turned to Sumner and gave him a kiss on the cheek. You see Sumner point to his shirt and you reached for it and threw it to him, he caught it and began to put it on. You then see him walk pass you to his closet "You gonna come with us Alistair?" You shrugged then nodded, the mom giggled and the girl rolled her eyes. You got up and Sumner was already at the door. You followed after and the mom unlocked the car doors and You, Sumner, and...Allison? got it. You weren't sure of her name so you just stood quiet around her, it seemed she didn't even know you were there. Which you STILL didn't care about. Sumner would talk with you about random shit and you would nod and answer at times and when a favorite song of Sumner's came on you found him singing it under his breath.

"Why don't you sing louder?" You looked to him and Sumner's eyes widen to find that you were listening to him. He began stuttering and he looked down "I'll sing it with you if you want. Dude but you have to project your voice, be heard. That's what my mom always said..." You see him smile and you smiled back. The next song came on and this one Sumner didn't know at all, but you did. It was called 'Siamese Cities' by Metric. It was one of your favorites, you couldn't help but start singing.

I said I'm sorry to change my mind...

It was a little cold that night, I was dreading the ride back from little Italy,

And needed to hide out from my mind.

Sumner looked at you and you just looked straight ahead ignoring his gaze, it was obvious he was listening.

When you walk, you move like Moses.

When you look, you look like red roses.

Everyday breaks bitter river, was a flood

Why do you leave me in between Siamese cities.

As you softly sang to the song, the car hit a bump which made your voice bumpy. You heard Sumner laughing and you looked at him and chuckled.

You got to the supermarket and helped Sumner's mom and as you carried bags of meat, you glanced to a woman with black hair. She turned around and it was your mom, she was...pale, like REALLY PALE. You put the bags on the conveyor belt and Sumner was with his mom. You left to yours, "Mom?" You see her look at you a smiled, her eyes were dark with bags under her eyes and she was pale. "Are you okay? You don't look well" she smiled and nodded.

"Hi Alistair, I'm fine baby. I Just haven't gotten enough sleep and sun. Don't worry." You feel her hand touch your warm face, it was freezing. You flinched at her touch, "what's wrong?" You shook your head.

"Nothing, uhm...get more sleep okay? I'll be home tomorrow." You see her nod and she kisses your cheek. You turned and walked away to Sumner and his Mom and Sister. You helped get the groceries into the car. You went back to Sumner's house. You were completely quiet, Sumner looked at you with worry.

"Hey, you okay Alistair?" He put a hand on your shoulder and you dropped the bottle of water you held in your hand. "Whoa, sorry are you okay? You seem...out of it." You nod, you bent down and picked up the bottle and set it on the kitchen table.

"Yeah, I'm okay. Thanks anyway" you picked the bottle back up and walked away, leaving Sumner confused in the kitchen. You opened his bedroom door and you see his little sister in his room looking for something. She didn't notice you, you pulled out your phone and texted Sumner.

'Hey, I think your sister is going through your things. You should come upstairs.'

You soon hear steps coming up the stairs. He went into his room and pulled his sister by the collar of her shirt. Dragging her out of the room, she flailed and he pushed her into her room and you closed it. You looked at Sumner walk back. He pat your shoulder "thanks Alistair" he walked in his room and you followed after.

"Uugghh so tired and cold." You see him grab his blankets and wrapped himself up after he took his sneakers off and set them to the side of his bed. You chuckled when he almost rolled off the bed. You put a knee up next to the edge and you caught him and looked down to him. "Thanks." You laughed and he rolled away to the wall. You went back to your bed and sat pushed your hand through your hair and sighed "Go take a shower and warm up. I'm sure your cold as well, I'm fine here. Maybe later we can go hang out at the park or something and bring some friends" You looked to him and then drooped your head.

"Fine, I guess..." You got up and went to the bathroom with your bag of clothes. You pulled out a black muscle shirt and ripped jeans, you put them, on the counter and you turned the shower on. You let the hot water set in and once it was good enough, you undressed and got in the shower. You sighed when you felt the hot water hit your cold skin. For some odd reason your skin has always been cold...You shrugged the thought off and washed your body and your hair. Your hair seems to dry rather quickly so it didn't matter. You washed your hair and got out 20 minutes later, you dried off and slid into your clothes and put your bag over your shoulder after you had put your other clothes in it. You walked out and you see Sumner still wrapped up in the blanket. You chuckled and took out your i pod and put the headphones in. You scrolled through your options and found a song you haven't listened to in a long time. You clicked the song and the song played.

oh-

Into the night
Desperate and broken
The sound of a fight
Father has spoken

You closed your eyes as you leaned back against the wall. You began to mumble the next set of words of the verse.

oh-

We were the kings and queens of promise
We were the victims of ourselves
Maybe the children of a lesser God
Between Heaven and Hell
Heaven and Hell

You turned over and saw Alistair sitting against the wall and he had his down to his chest, in his knees. "Oh, hey Alistair didn't hear you come back" You gotten no reply or action returned to you. "Alistair?" You heard his voice and you saw the wire, you notice its a headphone "Oh." you heard his voice singing lyrics to a song you were familiar with.

Into your eyes
Hopeless and taken
We stole our new lives
Through blindness
In defense of our dreams
In defense of our dreams

You listened till you heard a knock at the door. Alistair shot his head up and looked around, his voice dying out. "Relax, It's just the door." You untangled yourself went to the door, you opened it and saw your mom "Oh hey, What's up?" She smiled.

"Well, dinner is done so come down and eat when your ready~" she turned and walked down the stairs at the end of the hall. You turned to Alistair.

"You hungry?"

You looked to Sumner and shrugged and nodded, "Why do you do that?" You chuckled as Sumner questioned your answer.

"I don't know a bad habit?" he chuckled and you got off the bed and made your way to the door, Sumner soon following you out.

Soon after you ate, you thanked his mom and went upstairs with Sumner. You sat on your bed and played the guitar that still stood by your bedside, You spent the rest of your time doing this till you fell asleep.
