When I woke up, I didn't recognize where I was. I sat right up and my head started throbbing in pain. All of a sudden I felt a pair of arms wrap around me. I started to squirm and then I heard, "Jade chill!" My vision started to clear itself and I noticed it was Christian. "Dude are you ok?"
"Yea my head is just killing me. Where are we?" He took a quick look around the room and looked back at me. "Oh yea, were at Zack's house." I thought for a minute. The name was so unfamiliar to me. "Zack who?"
"The kid who hit you with the door and knocked you out. He felt bad so he asked me if I wanted to take you here for a little while because you know how mom and dad would flip out. He's downstairs. Do you feel okay to walk?" I nodded slightly and he helped me stand up. He put my arm around his shoulder for support I didn't really need but he was my older brother and he's just being his protective self.
We walked downstairs and went into the kitchen. This place was awesome. It wasn't to big and it wasn't to small. It was like the perfect house. I sat down on a really tall stool and put my hands on the counter. I heard the refrigerator door close and quickly turned my head towards the fridge and gave myself whiplash. "OWW you fucking dunce!" I scowled at myself. "Wow. You really do got a mouth on you." I looked up slowly in the direction of the voice and saw it was that boy who waved and smiled at me in history class today, and for some reason I felt a small smile start to spread across my face. I noticed that it was definitely noticeable when he started to smile. I looked away really quickly and noticed that Christian wasn't there any more. "Ughh… why does he always do that?" I heard Zach chuckle so I looked back at him. "Well do you want something to eat? Lunch was like eight and a half hours ago." I had the thought of food stuck in my head and then it hit me. Eight and a half hours ago? We have lunch at 12:15. "What time is it?!" Once again, Zach laughed at yet another one of my graceful performances. "It's almost nine." I started to look around for Christian. "Chill Jade. He's probably just playing my Xbox." I got wide eyed and looked at him slowly. "Oh no. Not you too!" He looked at me with a questionable look. "Oh I get it. You think I'm and Xbox freak. Nah. It aint my thing. I got it for my birthday and it just kind of sits in there. I play it once in a while but that's about it." I sighed. I don't even know why I would make a big deal out of it. It's not like its any of my business what he does with his spare time. And the only reason I was brought here was probably for him to just chill with my brother. "Well….do you want something to eat?" I let my thoughts slip away and returned my attention to him. "Uhm…it depends. What is it that you are wanting to feed me?" He looked at the fridge and then back at me. "Well what do you want?" he said smiling at me. "How about a cheeseburger." He smiled. "Alright. How do you like it?" I gave him an 'are you flippin serious?' look. "Come on seriously, how do you want it?" I sighed, "Medium." He slapped the granite counter top with a smile. "As you wish your majesty." He walked to the freezer and started to pull some meat out and make my food.
Christian walked in and sat in the stool next to me. "So yea… I smelt food. Ha-ha." I playfully tapped him in the back of the head. "Deusch bag. Ha-ha. So what exactly did you tell our parentals?" He put a little grin on his face. "I told them we were sleeping over our friend's house and they said ok so yea…here we are." I looked at Zack for some confirmation. He nodded. "Ok well…where are we sleeping? And dude. Did you even ask your parents if we could stay here?" Zack put a plate in front of me with a pretty good looking burger. "You guys can sleep where ever you want and my parents wouldn't care. There never here. Pfft, they don't even really live here." I heard Christian snort a laugh. "Alright mommy? Does this plan live up to your standards?" I hit him in the arm and then looked at Zack. "Yes. And thank you Zack. This looks good."
When I was done eating, I went on a scavenger hunt to find the boys. I swear I must have circled this house 3 or 4 times and I still can't find either one of them. Then out of nowhere, I started to hear a guitar. It was very soft sounding so I thought maybe my iPod started playing or something and I took it out and it was off. But I kept on hearing it. I walked up the stairs following the music. When I came to the door of the room I was hearing it from, I realized it was Zack's bedroom door. I really didn't think about knocking so I just opened the door. There he was, lying down on his bed playing a guitar. He looked so gorgeous laying there. I just kept staring at him. He looked at me and smiled. "Does it sound alright?" What is wrong with me, why cant I move, speak, why can't I function at all?! "Uh-huh" FINALLY something came out. He sat up and patted a spot next to his bed inviting me to sit next to him. I started walking towards the bed but it was as if I was being controlled. I didn't mind the thought of sitting next to him but I couldn't control myself, that's what bothered me. I sat down next to him and I saw him lifting his hands and moving them towards my face. I closed my eyes and thought 'oh my god what is he going to do? Is he going to kiss me?'. Then, I felt a pair of cold hands touching my face, one on my cheek and the other on my forehead. "Well it looks like the swellings going down. But you should still get some rest." He smiled, yes again with the smile, the most gorgeous smile I have ever seen. "Well when did you become a doctor?" I smiled back. "I'm not but my aunts a doctor and I used to hang out with her at the hospital. Something about the medical profession fascinates me. I think it mainly has to do with blood." I giggled. I don't know why, but I giggled. He smirked and got up. "Well you should probably get your rest, plus your brothers already asleep." He sat down at his computer and started doing something.
I laid down and took off my hoodie and laid it over myself. I was laying there for a few minutes when I heard him stop typing. I opened my eyes and saw him turn off the monitor and got up to leave. "Don't leave." I whispered. He looked at me with a questioning look. "Why?" I closed my eyes for a moment, sighed, and then looked back at him. "It's difficult to explain. Just please don't leave me until I fall asleep. Please?" He looked rather shocked but he started walking towards the bed and sat down next to me.
It was quiet for a while, but he finally said something. "So, why don't you wanna be alone?" I bit my lip. I definitely didn't want to answer this honestly, but I wasn't gunna lie to him. I covered my face with my hands. "Your going to think I'm a total loser." He uncovered my face and held onto my hands. "No I wont, just tell me." I sighed yet again and started to think of how to put this. "Well, I'm kind of afraid to be alone. Especially at night. I'm kind of afraid that my dad will try and do something to me." I felt him tense up a little bit, almost as if he was going to flip out or something. "I'm sorry! I told you too much at once and we just started to get to know each other. I'm sorry!" Suddenly, he loosened up. "It's not your fault. It's just I somewhat know how you feel. I've had somewhat similar experiences." We sat in silence again. It almost felt like forever and I didn't even realize that he was still holding onto my hands until I shivered. He chuckled. "You want another blanket?" "Uh yes please." He got up and pulled a Linkin Park blanket and laid it on me. "You can sleep in here you know, it is your room after all. I'll just go find Christian and sleep in the room with him an-." "You can stay in here. I mean like if you don't wanna be alone I'll just stay in here with you it won't bother me. Unless you're totally uncomfortable with that." I gave him a tired smile. "No it won't bother me. It will probably help me sleep better." He climbed into the bed with me and he wasn't as warm as I thought he would be. He had his back towards me so I cuddled up to his back and drifted to sleep.
