".......Frank?"
I said under my breath softly.
Joel came in the living room, he was drying his hands with a towel. He didnt have a shirt on, It looked like he worked out alot. I tryed not to let my mouth hang open.
"Thats my dad..."
"Really?"
"well, not really."
"Thats my grandpa, he took care of me for so long i just called him 'dad'."
"Oh, really?"
"Yeah, My dad, he was a mercenary..and-uh, he was fighting the Shin-ra, when they were around, and he was abducted, and he was tourchured."
"Oh my goodness."
I put my hand over my mouth.
"Yeah, and uh-my mom, she was killed.."
"....how?"
".....well, she was shot."
"Shot??"
I said with a bit of concerness in my voice.
"yeah, well, heh, i gota check on the...stuff, ill be right back, ok?"
"alright."
he walked back into the kitchen.
"my god, i feel so bad, I hope my parents werent killed like that."
I propped my feet up on the side of the couch and rested my head on my knees.
"are ya tired?"
"ah, not really."
"im gona get'cha a blanket and a pillow."
"Oh, its alright."
"Ya sure?"
"yeah, im ok."
"okay.."
he went back into the kitchen, and brought out some macaroni and cheese, and he sat on the couch beside me. the steam rolled gently off of the noodles.
".....Its a pretty night Joel."
"Yeah, it is."
we looked out the window blankly.
"This is my Tv. hah,"
"Oh, really? its cool."
"yeah."
I slowly ate my food. and i looked out the window.
"Well, im gettin tired."
"alright."
"If you need anything, im down here...I'll show ya to your room now."
"umm, ok."
he walked across the room and opend the door.
"Heres the bathroom."
He pointed to the door across the hall.
"ok."
I looked into the room.
"wow, its...cozy."
"hey, its cool."
"heh, alright.."
he flipped on the light. It was a big bed, with blue sheets.
"like i said, im gona be.....over there, if you need me."
"ok.....Goodnight."
"Night."
I shut the door and set the bag on the corner of the bed. I got my silk pj's out and i slipped them on. They were green silk, with white lace. i turned off the light and i settled down and went into bed. It took me awhile to get used to such a big bed. i looked up, and the stars shone and twinkled. I turned to my side, and closed my eyes.
