Chapter 14

ALPOV

So let's see. We've had been in the caves a few days now. I was beginning to be able to find my way around the darkness unnerved me. Everyone had been nice; most of them avoided the question of how we got here…which was smart, because I didn't feel like telling the painful parts of it.

There was a kid about me age Jamie. He, Dan, Amy and I were playing football together in the "Game Room." Which in short, it was just another cave. Dan tried to get Sandra to play but after a few minutes of her throwing wounded ducks that bounced of the ceiling she decided to quit. My guess was she probably went to go seek company and try and settle her curiosity with endless questions.

We had called a break after much running around and Jamie had gone to get us some water. Jamie was excited to have people his own age around. So far we hadn't really been accepted in the caves, mostly because everyone was so old and wrapped up with everyone else. The thing that struck me was that here EVERYONE was paired up with someone else. Well mostly everyone.

Jamie came back after a few minutes carrying a bucketful of water. The game resumed. Amy was on my team and Jamie and Dan were on another. We weren't keeping score, but I was pretty sure we were winning. I threw Amy a pass. Jamie lunged and tackled her to the ground.

I stared at Jamie. We were entangled with each other. I blushed and hoped he didn't see it in the dim light given off by the lanterns. He offered me his hand to help me up. My two brothers stared at me with incredulous expressions on their faces. This situation was both weird and uncomfortable. There was an interruption as some people entered the room.

A man spoke out "Hey I heard you were having a game."

"That's right" said Jamie.

"Mind if we join." I recognized this voice as Jared's.

"No problem." Some other people filed in. I took the crowd as my chance to escape. I found Sandra back in the hospital asking pestering Doc to answer questions about alien medicine. She smiled when she saw me.

"You look like you need a bath" she commented. I glanced down at myself. I hadn't realized how sweaty I was until then.

"Come on I'll go with you"

"Okay."

Jamie, Jamie, Jamie…

There was something about him

A/N: Short chapter I know. Not a lot happens but… still reviews please…running out of ideas.
