p dir="ltr"Midnight furrows her brow. Who the Hell is she?/p
p dir="ltr"The mother of the boys agreed to allow her to stay with them. She even let Midnight take the room at the end of the hall once it had been remodeled./p
p dir="ltr"Of course, Midnight couldn't mindlessly thank the woman enough. She did it so often she wondered if she were a crazy person. It took sometime getting used to while she'd witness the Baby girl often arguing with her so called guy. She swore they got along on most occasions./p
p dir="ltr""Midnight, please, your memory needs to return. I need your help." Colt says, scurrying into the newly painted bedroom. His eyes fell on the girl, sitting at a plain desk casting a skeptical gaze around the room./p
p dir="ltr""I can't even help myself." Midnight softly replies, setting down the pencil she'd been using for her homework. Her eyes flit to the anxious boy, wishing she had something for him./p
p dir="ltr""Well, I'm in need of relationship advice. How would you go about asking someone out?" Colt muses, biting down on his bottom lip./p
p dir="ltr"Midnight copies his action, shrugging. She had been to the high school occasionally seeing sweet gestures. Of course, she mostly clung to the blonde boy's side too afraid to get caught up in anything. Her mind kept blanking every time she attempted to drum up an answer from her past./p
p dir="ltr""Aren't you dating the red viper?" Midnight sports a look of confusion./p
p dir="ltr""Okay, how would you go about asking her out after she broke it off with you? I was waiting to run by my idea of asking Baby to promise herself to me with the ring. I have to two twin ones almost like weddings bands, but aren't. I wanted to take her on a picnic." Colt spews in a rush./p
p dir="ltr"Midnight breathes in his long explanation. She tilts her head at the plain, white roof emlosing /emherself in deep thought. "Why twin ones?"/p
p dir="ltr""Midnight, focusem! /emThat is not the issue here. Do I tell her I love her?" Colt ponders, throwing his hands around like a mad man./p
p dir="ltr""You ever try writing her a song or poetry?" Midnight softly asks, watching him crinkle his nose in disgust./p
p dir="ltr""Baby doesn't like that sort of mushy stuff." Colt gives a shake of his head./p
p dir="ltr""What does she like?" Midnight quizzes, quirking an eyebrow at the blue ninja./p
p dir="ltr"Colt snaps his fingers, smiling at her. "I should take her to the baseball field. She'd love that. We can play some ball then I can ask her-"/p
p dir="ltr""-Why is it important you ask her something that may as well as be an engagement? Just ask her to be your girlfriend. How hard can it be if you truly like her?" Midnight spouts off, annoyed by the male in her view./p
p dir="ltr"Colt grimaces, "Baby is only fourteen while I'm just fifteen. We can't get married or engaged."/p
p dir="ltr""What you want to do sounds alot like an engagement to me, Blue." Midnight scoffs, rolling her eyes./p
p dir="ltr"Colt chuckles, "Night, you wouldn't even know love if it struck you in the head. Your memory is in pieces like your love life."/p
p dir="ltr""Bugger off, Jeff. Some of us don't have time to pretend we're in love." Midnight grunts, rolling her eyes at him./p
p dir="ltr""Colt, give her a break. Unlike you, she knows how to date a guy. You took ages to ask Baby on a date even after you two locked lips. Oh, let's not forget; Midnight is the one to help you with that little stint." Rocky scolds, standing in the doorway- listening in on the conversation./p
p dir="ltr""So? You dated Emily for a brief moment. Turns out, she just wasn't that into you." Colt is quick to remind his brother. He sticks a tongue out at Rocky who chuckles./p
p dir="ltr""emColt, /emall I'm saying is who do you have to thank for kissing the girl of your dreams?" Rocky smirks as his brother blushes a deep red./p
p dir="ltr""I can't see how anybody is into the pretensious dweeb. He's so cocky, confident, and arrogant. Who could forget sarcastic, bitter, and reckless?" Midnight wrinkles her nose in distaste at dating the blue boy./p
p dir="ltr""Which is how you just described Baby." Rocky mindlessly runs his hands on his jeans./p
p dir="ltr""Thank you for your advice, Midnight. I know how to re-ask Baby to be mine. This time it will stick." Colt turns, ready to walk past when Midnight makes a lame attempt of an joke on his behalf./p
p dir="ltr""Jeff to the rescue! Hold your daughters, lock up your steeds." Midnight begins laughing at her own response./p
p dir="ltr""Midnight-" Colt seethes about to bite off her head when Rocky grabs his shoulder, shooting him a glare./p
p dir="ltr""Thank you, Jeff. See ya." Rocky pats his shoulder as Colt proves reluctant to leave. He allows his gaze to fall on Midnight, smiling like a child during recess./p
p dir="ltr""What? He's a boring git. Not that you're much better." Midnight sighs, taking a jab at the blonde. She lays her head on her notebook, having finished up her schoolwork./p
p dir="ltr"Rocky lightly chuckles, coming over to lean on the desk. He grips it hard, thinking on how to pull the chair from under the girl. "If I'm boring then why make the effort to hang out with me?"/p
p dir="ltr""Oh, I'm not making an effort, Sweetheart. You're just around so it's easier to hold up false facades." Midnight blatantly retorts, having heard none of what left her lips./p
p dir="ltr"Rocky jokingly bites hit bottom lip. He removes himself from the desk, starting for the bedroom door. He could always ignore the girl to prove his point, but given the circumstances of amnesia he didn't think so. He settled for teasing her the best way he could./p
p dir="ltr""Midnight, you know where to find me when you're ready to accept your feelings for me." Rocky softly calls from the doorway. A playful edge shown in his tone./p
p dir="ltr"One Midnight didn't distinguish. Instead, she shook him with another retort. "Feelings? I know we have some form of sexual tension, but their are no feelings I share with you. Cool?"/p
p dir="ltr""Some form of sexual tension?" Rocky mindlessly ask, growing pink with the question./p
p dir="ltr""I'm not daft, Rocky. I don't think anybody else is. Sorry about your luck, buddy." Midnight responds, doodling away at the back of her notebook./p
p dir="ltr"How to respond to her sure statement? Rocky didn't know how, wanting to make a snide comeback. "Night, we don't share any form of sexual tension. We're friends...right?"/p
p dir="ltr""Boundaries, boy, boundaries. emEven /emI don't classify strangers as friend. I'm still trying to piece how I got to this house where I'm familyless at best." Midnight spouts off, shooting up to close the bedroom door. She couldn't afford for him to be around her talking all crazy./p
p dir="ltr""Midnight, you're no stranger. How long is this amnesia going to last? Well, into the summer?" Rocky feels frustration building inside him. He wants her to remember due to how lonely the road was starting to feel. Gutted, he did like the way she'd sometimes snap back at him, proving to be a bit of challenge- he missed the girl who loved the oddities in life./p
p dir="ltr"Rocky knew it's what made the fourteen year old her sane self./p
p dir="ltr""Rocky, emplease /emdrop it." Midnight seethes, earning a sigh from his peach pink lips. She purses hers into a thin line once he's left her alone. She silently nods in agreement to herself./p
p dir="ltr"This is how things should be, right?/p
