FINALLY have a job, so I've been working plus homework and I have other things to be doing, cause it turns out I actually have a life. ~
The walk to school seemed weird. The streets were quiet and the wind was stronger then usual. Of course this started arousing some suspicions from James and his blonde love as they walked hand in hand along the cool streets.
"Kendall?" James said questioningly. "Does Minnesota ever get hurricanes?"
"Hurricanes? Nah, were too far in. Minnesota's too far away from the ocean..." Kendall answered.
"Too far away?" James sounded confused till he grinned as he got the idea. "Oh yeah! Cause they need that- ohhhh... But it's really windy..."
"Maybe it's just a windy day..." Kendall smiled. He looked around him, the wind pushing stronger with each blow, then calming down.
"True..." James agreed, walking closer to Kendall and leaning his head on the blondes shoulder. Another blow of wind pushed James' hair back a little as James
"I wish mum was back..." A worried James whispered as he looked out the window as dark clouds started to form around a winter sky. He looked back at the T.V that had started to loose some of its reception. He sighed deeply, the thirteen year old confused, plasting a courageous smile upon his face to hide his fear of the unknown. James moved closer to the T.V, Minnesota's famous weather forecaster giving the camera a worried, serious expression. This was odd as the brunette was usually extremely happy and cheerful, giving her viewers good vibes, a nice way to start their day.
"Sorry about this interruption, but we have an important announcement. We have discovered what we thought to be a small, category one tornado to be a strong snow storm. We advise you quickly bring in any valuable belonging and follow the proper procedure. Make sure you stay safe and in your house along with a radio to hear updates on the storm. The storm is said to be at least 48 hours long, possibly longer with a lot of snow build up and strong winds." She said seriously, her usual cheery tone vanished like the once still wind as the winds speed started to pick up outside.
James' face fell into one of worry and fear. His mother wouldn't be home and he wasn't aloud at his fathers house because he didn't get along with his father or his stepmother very well. He wondered what he could do. James had never been alone during a snow storm, He was already scared of thunder and heavy storms, and now he was alone in a snow storm. He thought long and hard, deciding to turn off his T.V.
James turned off most electrical thing sin his house except for his phone and radio. He closed every door, checking his fridge for food. He remembered the money his mother had left him to just buy take out, leaving no food in the fridge as she didn't trust her baby with cooking. James growled, slightly cursing under his breath before he walked back to his phone. He tried dialling his fathers number, only to get no answer. He tried the next house that came to mind, his best friend Kendall. Kendall didn't answer either, the realisation of people being busy and preparing for the storm hitting him hard. He threw down the wireless phone before grabbing his backpack and walking to the front door. He took in a deep breath, opening the door then walking out.
James took in a deep breath, letting Minnesota's cool air fill his lungs then escape his lips in warm steam as he sighed. He looked up at the sky full of dark storm clouds that started to slowly roll together. Soft and small amounts of snow flakes had started to fall to the ground, slowly layering the earth in a thin blanket of snow. James tightened the straps of his bag to start walking to a safe place. His second home.
James looked at the small house that had wood planks over the windows, a clean yard that was now covered in a thicker layer of snow as the wind started to pick up a lot more. James walked to the door, knocking on it hard to make sure the family inside could hear him. Within seconds, the door opened to reveal Jennifer Knight, Kendall's mother.
"James, what are you doing here? Quick, get inside." Jennifer said as she grabbed a cold James, pulling him inside.
"Mums out of town, remember? Not only that, but I don't think Dad will let me in, plus he's on the other side of town..." James' sentence ended with a slight squeak, the pleasures of puberty.
"I'm gonna have to have a serious talk with her. We were just about to head into the basement if you wanna stay with us..." Jennifer offered with her usual sweet, cordial smile that could warm anyones heart.
"Thank's heaps. Do you need help with anything?" James asked.
"Don't worry, we just finished cleaning up. Katie and I will be down in a sec, you could go help Kendall take the emergency kit downstairs though..." Jen said as she turned to walk away. James nodded, walking down the hall to stop in front of a door. He opened it to see Kendall pulling a large box down the final steps. He looked up to see James, smiling widely.
"James! what are you doing here?" He asked in his squeaky voice. James' voice was just going through the final change of its change whereas Kendall's had just started breaking.
"Mums outta town and Dads probably being an ass. So I came here cause y'know, the house is really big... Don't want it to collapse when I'm the only one in it." James lied, making Kendall smirk.
"Nah, you just didn't want to be alone. Was James scared?" Kendall teased as he put the box somewhere, watching James as he walked down the stairs then took a seat. Kendall sat next to the pretty boy, pulling his friend into a half hug. "You're such a scardy cat."
"No! I'm way braver then you!" James said with confidence, accidently shrieking when Jen closed the door behind her and Katie. James just sighed, resting his head on Kendall's shoulder. "Fine, Im scared... Just don't tell anyone..." James whispered.
"James? You okay dude?" Kendall asked with worry.
"Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm good... Hey, do you remember that storm when we were like, 13?" James asked.
"The snow storm? Yeah, I remember that." Kendall smiled. "Why?"
"No reason really, I was just curious."
"You're still scared of storms aren't you?" Kendall chuckled.
"It's a serious thing Kendall. I was left alone in huge thunder storms way too much to not be scared." James said with a nervous smile. Kendall stopped walking with James, looking at a small park they were about to pass. The park was really small, full of mostly trees and a small patch of grass. There was a small sand pit in the centre with a set of two swings and a sea-saw.
"Wanna chill over there before school?" Kendall asked.
"Will we be late?" James asked.
"Since when does James Diamond care about being late?" Kendall chuckled. James leaned down a little, licking a small trail up the underside of Kendall's ear, along his neck to suckle and nibble a small part of his neck. Kendall bit his lower lip, squeezing his eyes shut.
"if you keep being a smart ass I'll have to spank you." James whispered.
"Is that a threat or a promise?" Kendall smirked. James used one of his hands to cup Kendalls butt cheek, giving it a small squeeze before he moved away.
"let's just go to the little park thing if it means so much to you." James said as he took a hold of Kendall's hand, walking towards the swing set and sand area.
