Maria

I shuffled my feet nervously. I didn't wanna tell mom. She looked at me with her hands on her hips. "Anthony help me out here, remember yesterday and the funny feelings?" I asked. He nodded. "tell grandma about them." he started explaining. Mom nodded slowly trying to keep her poker face, but I knew she was freaking out inside.

Finally when he was done, she covered his ears. "why the hell, didn't you tell me about this earlier?" she questioned. I winced at the acid in her tone. I knew she was pissed. "I thought it was just my imagination." Jordan looked at me. "and our feelings didn't help prove you wrong?" she asked in doubt. I looked at her. "not helping." I hissed. She shook her head and went downstairs.

I felt bad for mom, she wasn't supposed to find out this way. She sighed, "I'll call the school and excuse you two, Anthony go with them, and report to me if they have anymore funny feelings." she smiled at them end, he saluted her, washed his hands and followed me downstairs.

"so, what do we do?" Jordan asked when I shut the door. I shrugged, "we do homework, while he watches the Copse Bride." he hugged me in glee. "I've corrupted you." I said dryly as he handed me the movie. Jordan sniggered and we did what small homework we had.

Once we were finished, we watched the movie with him. It ended quickly and then I put in The Nightmare Before Christmas. "y'know?" Jordan started as the previews started. I looked at her. "you probably wouldn't have fainted, if you had eaten." I raised an eyebrow at her. "I normally don't eat things that jiggle."

She laughed. "does that include jello and pudding?" she asked at the main menu. I pressed play. "okay that's the exception, but other than that," I shivered. She smirked and we watched the movie in silence. It didn't take us all long to start singing along.

Then mom called us up for some edible food. We ate in silence, I could tell she was stressed so I didn't even try to fill the silence with small talk. We put our dishes away and went back downstairs. "Maria?" my mom asked. "yeah?" I asked. "come here." I walked slowly, but found myself standing in front of her.

She wrapped me in a tight hug. "tell me next time you feel watched. Okay? I don't want this happening again." I nodded. "yeah mom." I returned the hug and she let me go, "okay, im gonna go put in a few hours, call me if you need anything kay?" I nodded. She gave me a quick kiss on the cheek before leaving and locking the door behind her.

I sighed and went downstairs, watching the movie, I didn't sing along this time though.

(Page Break)

Jordan fell asleep shortly after with Anthony, it was about one or two. I didn't check. Someone knocked on the door upstairs. My breath caught in my throat and I slowly got up, going upstairs. I felt like I was in a horror movie, I laughed at the irony, I looked through the peephole to see black hair, and light blue eyes. I smiled and unlocked the door. Andy opened it and let himself in. I hugged him tightly shut the door. He smiled.

"missed me so much already?" he asked. I nodded. And it was true, the ending of the movie reminded me of him. Plus, jack was probably as tall. Same as Victor. Maybe… I pecked him on the lips and we went downstairs, he made sure to lock the door.

We sat on my bed talking, and an occasional kiss every now and then. Jordan shook my knee and grumbled. "what, are you disabled?" I asked. She shook her head, laughing slightly, "do you have a pillow I could borrow?" I laughed, grabbed the nearest one and smacked her in the face with it. "oops." there was no feeling besides a smile and snigger at her glare.

"bitch." she grumbled before falling back asleep. I smiled and we went back to talking when the front door opened again, then it shut but mom's heels weren't clacking. I raised an eyebrow and opened my door. "did you lock the door?" I asked Andy he nodded and followed me upstairs.

We rounded the corner of the stairs and I stood frozen in place, Andy wrapped his arms protectively around my waist.
