Help me out here
All my words are falling short
And there's so much I want to say
Want to tell you just how good it feels
When you look at me that way
When you look at me that way-David Gray
"Em? Can I come in?" asked Brennan.
"Yeah," she replied.
Brennan laughed when he saw her, laying flat on the floor with her long legs resting on her bed.
"Is that comfortable?" he asked.
Emma just laughed and placed her book down beside her.
"Help me up?"
"Are we really going to this thing tonight?" he asked as he lifted her up onto her feet.
"If you don't want to go, you don't have too." She replied smiling.
He hated when she did that, smiled at him like that. She knew that this Puck guy made him nervous, and that he didn't want any of them, especially her to go to this show tonight.
"No…I'll go." He exclaimed.
"Good," she smiled "Now go. Shal's coming in soon and no boys allowed while we're getting ready."
"Oh, but mom…" he joked.
"Get!" she yelled.
Emma laughed, she wanted him to go and knew if she played the understanding best friend, he'd break and go. Too overprotective for his own good she thought to herself.
"God…I have no clothes," she exclaimed.
"No worries Em, The cavalry has arrive," said Shalimar as she came into the room her arms overloaded with clothing.
"Great," Emma replied.
"Adam?" asked Brennan "Have you ever heard of a man named Puck Keagan?"
"No, Why?" asked Adam.
"Well, we met him on the street today, actually Emma did and he gave us tickets for a magic show tonight." Brennan replied.
"A magic show? Like pulling rabbits from hats and doing card tricks?" laughed Adam.
"I don't think that's the kind of magic he does," replied Brennan as he sat down on the floor of the lab "I think its mostly illusions and escapism."
"Oh," Adam exclaimed.
"Aren't you coming with us?"
"That's probably what Emma was asking me about." Laughed the absent minded Mutant X leader "No, I don't think so. You guys go, have some fun."
"Something tells me this is going to be anything but fun," muttered Brennan as he walked out of the lab.
Walking into his room, he laid down on his bed and closed his eyes.
"I promise you, Em," he whispered as he gently caressed her forehead "I will never let this happen to you again."
"Bren?" whispered Emma opening her eyes.
"Hi,"
"You didn't know," she said taking his hand "This is not your fault."
"I should have known," he exclaimed.
"How could you have?" she asked "If anything I should have known."
Brennan hated her powers sometimes, they allowed her too see so much but allowed her to build walls so high that no one could get through. She was his best friend and he knew barely anything about her.
"Brennan?" asked Shalimar.
"Yeah?"
"You ready to go?"
"Yep,"
"All right," she exclaimed "We're in the kitchen, hurry up."
"Coming."
