"So if everything is cleared up I can drive you home." Warren said exiting the kitchen. Will realized he hadn't been home since yesterday morning. His mother had made it very clear to him long ago that he had a curfew, that he was expected to be home, that he wasn't going to wander the streets all hours of the nights, and several other generalizations. "Yeah my mom's probably freaking out." Will said pulling out his cell phone. He hadn't checked it since he had left the house yesterday and sure enough he had 25 missed calls and 72 text messages from mother dearest.

"She's definitely freaking out." Will said laughing. He showed the screen to Warren who laughed as well. "Lets get you back before she calls the National Guard." Warren said opening the front door for Will. "If she hasn't already." Will joked

The short ride to Wills was quiet. It wasn't an uncomfortable silence just one that needed to be there. Will looked over at Warren. Usually he would have reprimanded him driving one handedly, but instead Will reached over and took a hold of the hand not holding the steering wheel. Warren jumped in surprise. Will went to pull his hand away but Warren squeezed it. "No it's fine. I just wasn't expecting it." Warren said keeping his eyes on the road. The rest of the ride continued without incident.

"Time to go face the banshee." Will joked as he hopped from the car. Warren got out of his side and followed Will up the perfectly perfect walkway. Before Will even laid a finger on the door knob his mother flung the door open. "Where on earth have you been!?" She screeched. "Do you have any idea how long you were gone?" She continued. Will listened to her nodding his head. This had happened before there was no point in even opening his mouth until she was done. "Do you know how close I was to sending out a search party?" She entered the house and Will followed her. Warren sniffed the air and almost sneezed. It smelt like cinnamon he was allergic to cinnamon, not deathly allergic but he puffed up pretty bad if he even touched the stuff.

"For all I know you could have been kidnapped or murdered or…" Mrs. Stronghold rambled on. "I'm sorry mom." Will said. He knew not much would calm her down; she was extremely over protective of her only child. He'd just have to wait for this whole thing to blow over. Which by the look on her face would be awhile. "Sorry? Sorry!"

Warren decided it was time to inject himself into the conversation. "I'm sorry Mrs. Stronghold. Will was at my house. With the big storm yesterday he had to spend the night."

"Oh Warren. It's so nice to see you." Mrs. Stronghold immediately calmed down. "It's nice to see you too." Warren replied. "I made cinnamon buns if you want one." Mrs. Stronghold said pointing to the kitchen. That's why it smelled like cinnamon. "No thanks, I should probably get home."

"Oh well it was nice of you to bring Will home." Mrs. Stronghold said disappearing into the kitchen. "I guess I'll see you tomorrow." Will said leading Warren to the door. "Yeah. Do you want to sit together tomorrow morning?" Warren asked stepping outside. He noticed that it was beautiful outside today. The sun was shining brightly; big white fluffy clouds dotted the sky. It was comfortably warm it would probably be the last time it was this warm for a while. October was only a couple of weeks away and it would start getting colder.

"Actually I was going to fly myself." Will replied. For the last little while he had been flying himself to school. The only time he really took the bus now was when it was raining, too cold or he just didn't feel like it. Flying himself was a lot easier than having to face Layla every morning. "Oh that's fine." Warren said. Will walked Warren to his car. "Thanks for bringing me home." Will leaned against the car. "No problem." Warren replied. This was awkward. They just kept aimlessly rambling. Warren didn't know what to do. Kissing Will would be too forward; well they were a little past forward. But it still wouldn't be appropriate, for all Warren knew Will had nosy neighbors who stared out their windows like Mrs. Patenski the woman who lived across from him. "Um, I'm going to go." Warren said opening the door. "Oh um alright." Will said stepping away from the car. Will going with a split second decision pulled Warren into a hug. It was short and Will left Warren standing stunned as he turned back and walked up his walkway. Once inside the house he watched Warren get in the car and pull away.

I know it's super super short but I figured It would be easier for me to work on them in small chunks. The next one will be longer. I've got a two hour break between my classes today so I'm going to write a large portion of the next chapter then.
