Hello, and welcome back to IFBNW chapter 3. I meant to update sooner but I've been busy with things (i.e. minor depression and school), but I had the day off from school and i felt like writing, so i did and I hope everyone enjoys it. Although before we start I feel that I should mention three quick errors in the last chapter.

1. Riku was not supposed to tell them his birthday, just his age.
2. They don't live miles away from the city, just on the outside of town, so everything is still in walking distance.
3. The part about the family room not being used much was supposed to be omitted. The room still exists, but that part wasn't supposed to be there.

I apologize about these errors. I meant to take them out before uploading, but I guess I didn't proofread well enough. I promise to try better in the future. Anyways, on to the chapter

First Day Here and I Already Have a Nickname

I awoke in the dark in an unfamiliar place, in a warm and comfortable bed. Confused, I sat up and looked at my surroundings. Upon seeing the white painted walls and black carpet the events of yesterday came rushing back to me, bringing a slight smile to my face. Unsure of what to do I decided to shower, seeing as it's been two days since I last bathed, and even then it was just in a small creek. I went to move my legs but found that there was a light weight on them. Looking down I saw a cream colored ball of fur that I recognized to be a sleeping Ninetails. I tapped the fire fox's shoulder it stirred slightly.

I cleared my throat and said "Um, excuse me."

This caused the Ninetails to groggily lift its head and look around sleepily. Its eyes fell on me and it scramble to its feet.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry." She said frantically, "When I came in last night I was extremely tired and I thought I went into Jessica's room-"She froze mid-sentence. "Wait a minute. Who are you?"

"Um, I'm Riku." I said, slightly nervously, "And I assume that you are Ashley, correct?"

"Yes." She said the confusion obvious in her voice and on her face, "How do you know my name and what the hell are you doing here?"

"Well, in response to your first question, Jessica mentioned it yesterday, and to your second one, I guess I live here now." I said.

Her reaction was immediate. Her eyes widened in shock and she said, "What exactly do you mean you live here?"

"Well," I began, "yesterday while Jessica and Maxwell were out grocery shopping they found me living on the streets, so they invited me to eat dinner with them and at the end of it he asked if I wanted to come live here, so I accepted."

Ashley sighed and said, "Seeing as that is exactly how we got Jessica and Kyle, I'm not surprised."

"Could you please get off of my legs?" I asked, remembering why I was getting up in the first place, "I was going to go shower."

"Oh, sure." She said, moving off of my legs and onto the bed itself.

"Thank you." I said, standing up.

As I began walking towards the bathroom Ashley said, "Hey, can I stay in here while you shower or do you want me to leave?"

"Sure, so long as you don't enter the bathroom." I replied.

"Thanks." She said, and quickly followed it up with a loud yawn.

I entered the bathroom and shut and locked the door behind me. As I turned on the shower to let it warm up before I got in I realized that I had no other clothes to change. Fuck it; I'll just wear these again. I took off my clothes and sat them on the sink. When I was done I looked in the mirror. My torso was still covered in the scars and burns but very few still looked even relatively fresh, and I could barely see any of my ribs. Figures, I ate better on the streets than I ever did at the house. I stepped into the shower and gasped as I felt the sensation of running water on my fur. When I was finished showering I turned off the water and stepped out onto the small rug. I opened the cabinet under the sink and found it to be full of towels. I took one out and dried myself off, then threw the towel into the basket in the corner of the bathroom. I got dressed, deciding to keep my shirt off for now so that I could wear dirty clothes for as little time as possible. I stepped out into my bedroom, the steam from the shower billowing out after. I saw Ashley, curled up asleep at the end of the bed. I stepped to the window and pulled back the curtains to see that the sun had barely cleared the horizon. I sat down next to Ashley on the bed and she shifted slightly in her sleep. I began scratching her head while holding my shirt in my other hand and she buried her nose back into her fur. These few months have been possibly the most eventful days of my fucking life so far. I don't know how long I sat there, just scratching Ashley's head and thinking over the recent events, but I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard the door begin to open. I quickly put my shirt on as Jessica stepped into the room, wearing only a robe knotted at her stomach.

"Oh hey, you're already up, that makes my job a whole lot easier." She said, "Have you showered yet?"

"Yeah," I replied, "I just got out."

Ashley stirred next to me and lifted her head, blinking tiredly.

"Oh, hey Jess." She said, stifling a yawn"

"Hey Ash, I didn't know you were back." Jessica said, yawning, "Anyways, why don't we head downstairs and grab some breakfast, Riku?"

I nodded and stood up. We left the room and walked down the hall to the stairs. Maxwell was standing at the foot of the stairs, a suitcase on the ground on either side of him.

"Hey Dad, are you going somewhere?" Jessica asked him when we got to the bottom of the stairs.

He looked up and said, "Oh, morning guys. Yeah, I got called this morning about some issues at a site, so I'm going to be away for a few days."

"Anything serious?" Jessica asked.

"No, not that I know of, just some staff changes and payment approvals." He said, "But on a different note, shouldn't you be getting ready to go and meet Levi today?"

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot." Jessica said, her ears perking up.

"Who's Levi?" I asked.

"My boyfriend." Jessica said, "I'm meeting him at the mall today."

"So Riku, do you have anything planned for today?" Maxwell asked me.

I froze, not sure of what to say, but Jessica spoke up and said, "You should come to the mall with me. It'd give you a chance to get a feel for the city and you'd be able to get some clothes."

"Um sure." I said, a little reluctantly.

"Well then you will probably need some clean clothing to wear." Maxwell said, "Although I imagine that you could just wear some of Kyle's clothes today."

"I'll go get him some." Jessica said, before turning back and going up the stairs and to the right.

"Well then I imagine you would need some money. I'll go get you some." Maxwell said.

He went up the stairs and to the right as well, leaving me just standing there awkwardly. After about thirty seconds Ashley came down the stairs, stifling a yawn.

"Hey, where's everyone else?" She asked. Seeing the suitcases she added, "And what's with the bags?"

I was about to answer when Maxwell came down the stairs holding a small black case.

"Hello Ashley, I wasn't aware that you got here last night." Maxwell said, walking over to us.

"Yeah," She said, "I sorta slipped in late last night and stumbled into Riku's room, which that proved for an interesting wake up."

"I imagine." He said, chuckling. Turning to me, he said, "Now Riku, can I trust you with the money I'm about to give you?"

"Yes, of course." I replied, assuming that to be the best answer.

"Very well." He said before reaching into his pocket and pulling out a wad of money, which he handed to me, "You can keep whatever you don't use on clothes."

I looked down at the money in my hand and was stunned. I had never been trusted with money before in my life. The only times I had even held any money was while I was living on the streets, but I had always almost immediately used it for food or the small amount of clothes I had.

"Th-thanks." I said, still completely surprised before pocketing the cash.

Maxwell smiled slightly at my reaction and said, "There is one more thing. This is for you as well."

He opened the black case and pulled out what I recognized from to be and IPhone 5. He handed it to me and, once again, I looked down at what was in my hands, stunned.

"Now, I assume that I can trust you with this as well, so have it as a gift." He said, "Now, do you know how to use it?"

I stood there in stunned silence for a few seconds before snapping back to reality.

"Oh. Um, yes I do." I said, "Thank you."

Another slight smile spread across his face and I heard Ashley give off a quiet snicker at my reaction, but I didn't care. With what happened yesterday and what's happened so far today, it felt like my own personal Christmas. I took the phone off standby and saw that it already had both Maxwell's and Jessica's phone number. I pocketed the phone when Jessica came down the stairs holding a bundle of clothes.

"Here," She said, handing me the clothes, "I noticed that you were wearing a lot of dark colors yesterday, so I tried to find some of his darker clothes. I hope that's okay."

"Yeah, thanks." I said, accepting the clothes.

Maxwell looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "Well, I should probably be going now before I miss my flight." He picked up his suitcases and said, "Goodbye everyone, I'll see you in five days. Be sure not to break anything while I'm gone."

"C'mon Dad," Jessica said, slightly defensively, "the only time that ever happened Kyle did it, and he isn't even here right now."

Maxwell sighed and said, "I know, but he'll still be here for two days before I'm back. Anyways, I really should be going now."

He went to the front door and opened it, revealing that it had started raining while we were talking.

"Ugh, really you want to start now?" Jessica groaned, "I hope I still have my umbrella somewhere in my room."

"If not you could always wear a jacket with a hood." Maxwell said, before leaving and closing the door behind him.

After a few seconds we heard the car start up and pull out of the driveway.

"Well," Jessica said, turning to me, "we should go get ready now. If you finish before me, just wait for me here, we can grab something to eat on the way."

I nodded and we both went upstairs, her to her room and me to mine. I closed the door behind me and sat the clothes on the bed to see what she picked out for me. I sat the clothes on the bed and saw that there was a pair of black jeans and a black shirt. I put on the clothes and left my room, throwing my jacket on as I went out of the door. Seeing that Jessica was still getting ready, I went to the foot of the stairs to wait. After a few minutes the door to the kitchen opened and Ashley came out, muttering to herself.

"I really fucking hate it when they don't leave the door open; it's too damn difficult to open it." Seeing me, she came over and said, "Is she really still getting ready?"

I sighed and said, "Yeah, I guess. Does it normally take her this long?"

"Not normally," Ashley replied, "but I guess she really wants to look nice for Levi. He's been at some football camp all summer, so they haven't been able to see each other at all."

I just shrugged and said, "Well, I guess that's sorta understandable."

Just then I heard a door open and Jessica came down the stairs.

"So, how do I look?" She asked, "and be honest."

I looked her over and had to fight just to keep my jaw from dropping. She was wearing a red shirt and black skinny jeans that hugged her hourglass figure perfectly, and her head was topped with a black beanie with her ears sticking out from under it. To put it in simpler terms, she looked absolutely beautiful. Ashley seemed to notice my reaction and she giggled quietly.

'Oh!" I said, breaking out of my slight trance, "Nice. You look nice."

Ashley giggled again and I glared at her, causing her to freeze.

"Thanks." Jessica said, seemingly oblivious to my reaction "Unfortunately I couldn't find my umbrella, so it looks like we'll have to settle for hoods."

"I'm alright with that." I said as we went towards the door.

"Okay then. See-yah Ashley." She said as we left.

"Bye guys, have fun." Ashley's voice responded as the door closed behind us.

While we were getting ready the rain seemed to have started coming down harder and was now almost pouring down.

"Damn." Jessica muttered under her breath, "Looks like it's a good thing jackets have hoods."

We put our hoods up and walked down the driveway and onto the road, with me walking slowly, a few feet behind Jessica. Every few minutes Jessica would look back at me, causing me to feel extremely awkward.

"Hey Riku, y'know you don't have to walk so far behind me, right?" She said after looking at me multiple times, "You can come up here and walk next to me."

I put my hands in my jacket pockets and sped up so that I was walking at the same pace as her.

"So, how did you enjoy sleeping in a real bed after ten years?" Jessica asked me as we trudged on trudged on through the rain.

"It was nice." I replied, "Much more comfortable than the ground."

She laughed and said, "Yeah, I imagine. So, I noticed earlier that you seemed slightly reluctant to come with me. Any specific reason as to why?"

I thought for a second on how to phrase my response then said, "Well, in the past I've never exactly been accepted with open arms due to my abnormal fur color, so I didn't really know if I should go out somewhere."

Ahh," She said, "That. I hate to say it but pretty much everyone our age is like that as well, although the adults are fairly alright with abnormalities. So, now that I've asked you some questions, I'm sure you have some for me about the town and such, so ask away."

I thought about it and realized that she was right; I did have questions, so I asked the first one that came to my mind.

"Has Maxwell ever done anything like this before," I asked, "or were you and Kyle the first kids he ever adopted?"

"Well," Jessica said, "he's only ever had one kid, but he was his actual blood. He occasionally visits, but when he does he normally stays for a few days and sleeps in the guest room."

"The house has a guest room?" I asked, amazed that the house was even bigger than I thought.

"Yeah, didn't I tell you yesterday?" Jessica said, "It's through the kitchen. Eric's pretty much the only one that's ever used it."

"Ok then. So how long have you and Kyle been living there?" I asked.

"Well, Kyle and I are legitimate siblings, and we moved in about five years ago." She said, "Ashley lived there before I did, but when I actually moved in she was only a Vulpix, and she evolved about two years ago"

"Okay," I said, "I have one more question."

"Okay, shoot." Jessica said.

"Why was Maxwell so prepared?" I asked.

"What do you mean?" Jessica said.

"Y'know, he seemed extremely prepared for someone else to move in." I explained, "Like, he already had a room and everything stocked up and made and he even already had a phone for me. Why?"

"Well, he's normally pretty prepared for things anyway," She said, "and he's actually been looking to adopt another kid for about two years now. He thought about going to an actual orphanage or something at some point, but he decided that he'd prefer to adopt someone who legitimately doesn't have a home, seeing as they need it more."

"Oh." I said.

We kept walking, with me just following Jessica blindly, not knowing the way around. We only saw one other person actually walking on the sidewalk and not driving on the road, and he just kept walking past us, head down under his hood. Wow, people here really must not like the rain. By the time we actually got to the mall we were both thoroughly soaked to the skin and the rain was pounding down harder than before. We quickly entered, dropped our hoods, and shook slightly to get as much water as possible off of us.

"C"mon, he said he'll be waiting at the food court."Jessica said.

I nodded and we began walking. When we got to the food court Jessica looked around for a few seconds before letting out a sigh.

"Damn, looks like he isn't here yet." Jessica said, "Do you want to grab something to eat?"

"I'm fine," I said, "You go ahead."

"You sure?" She asked.

I nodded and she shrugged then walked away. She came back a few minutes later holding a sausage biscuit and two coffee cups.

She handed a one of the cups to me and said, "Here, I assume you woke up really early today so I figured I'd get you something to help wake up."

"Thanks." I said, accepting the coffee.

"No problem." She said. "Have you ever had coffee, by the way?"

"Yeah, I was actually able to get enough spare money when I was on the streets to get some every now and then." I replied, sipping the drink and tasting the familiar taste of a cinnamon latte.

"Well I guess we should just wait here." Jessica said, taking a bite from her biscuit.

We moved over out of the way a bit and stood there, waiting, with Jessica checking the time on her phone every minute or so.

"Damn it," Jessica sighed after checking the time for at least the thirtieth time, "where the hell is he?"

"Where is who?"A voice said behind us

We spun around to see a guy with short, spiky blonde hair wearing a red Nike t-shirt and blue jeans and a black Absol-morph wearing black jeans and a Black Veil Brides shirt standing behind us.

"Levi." Jessica said, before wrapping her arms around the guy and giving him a quick peck on the cheek.

"Hey Jess." Levi said, wrapping his arms around Jessica. When they broke apart he looked at me and said, "So what's with the kid?"

And there's the fucking height bull shit. Arceus, I hope that I actually get taller soon.

Jessica giggled lightly and said, "He's not a kid, he's sixteen. And his names Riku, he just moved in and we thought that it would be a good idea for him to get some clothes of his own, so he came with me."

He turned to me and said, "Hey." I nodded to him and he turned back to Jessica and said, "Yeah, I got roped into bringing Adam along with me today as well."

"You didn't fucking get roped into taking me anywhere," the Absol, who I assume to be Adam, growled, "I planned on coming here anyway and decided to at least say hi to Jessica since I haven't seen any of them since fucking May."

Levi scoffed and said, "What the hell ever, just piss off."

"Jackass." I heard Adam say under his breath. He turned to me and stuck out his hand and said, "Hey, I'm Adam, nice to meet you."

I shook his hand and nodded at him, but stayed silent.

"Alright, Levi let's go." Jessica said to Levi, taking his hand.

I went to follow them but stopped when Adam put his hand on my shoulder and said, "Hey dude, how about you ditch them and come with me? It'd save you from having to follow them around all day."

I just shrugged, not really wanting to be near Levi too much. Something about him just struck me as a little off.

"I'll take that as a yes." Adam said. Yelling after Jessica and Levi he said, "Hey, Riku and I are gonna go wander around, okay?"

"Alright," Jessica said back, "Riku, I'll text you when we get ready to leave."

We started walking, Adam a few feet ahead of me as I fell back and started walking slower. After a few minutes Adam looked back at me and, seeing me multiple feet behind him, he fell back and started walking next to me.

"Hey man, you don't talk much, do you?" Adam said to me. I just shrugged and he said, "C'mon, I don't bite, you're allowed to speak."

"I hadn't assumed that you bite, to be quite honest." I said, chuckling slightly.

"There you go, now you're being social." He said, "So what, you're here to go and get some clothes, right?"

"Um, yeah." I said.

"Fuck it," Adam said, "I don't have anything better to do, I had just planned on walking around randomly, so let's go do that."

He grabbed my shoulder and steered me into the nearest store.

Adam and I sat down at a table in the food court, both of us weighed down with shopping bags and my pocket a fair amount of money lighter.

"Well, I guess this is enough shit," Adam said, sighing, "or at least I fucking hope it is."

I chuckled and said, "Honestly dude, I'm pretty sure this may be too much stuff."

"Yeah I guess," Adam said, "So, I was thinking, we haven't really talked much while we were shopping. So how about we actually have a conversation?"

"Alright," I said, "What should we talk about?"

"Well," Adam said, "how about we start with you telling me how you met Maxwell and Jessica."

"Alright," I said, "well, I was trying to steal an orange from Maxwell yesterday when he saw me and confronted me. He took me with them when they went to eat lunch, and when we were done Maxwell asked me if I wanted to move in."

"Interesting," Adam said, "that's actually slightly similar to how I got into my family."

"You're adopted?" I asked, slightly surprised.

"Yep," Adam said, "You didn't really think that I could be related to as big of a douche bag as Levi, did you? It was about six or seven years ago and I was living on the streets. I tried to steal a little bit of money from a guy, but he caught me. Instead of taking me to the cops like I thought he would, he just brought me to an orphanage, and a few months later Levi came in with his parents. I'm not quite sure why they decided to adopt me or why they even wanted to adopt a kid, but his dad chose me. His mother took a little bit of convincing though. She thought I was odd because of my fur color. And since then I've lived with them, but I never really got along with Levi or his mother, seeing as they both still think that I'm weird."

I chuckled and said, "Yeah, I've faced my fair share of discrimination as well."

"Yeah," Adam said, "well thankfully most adults are pretty alright with it, it's just other kids you've gotta worry about."

As if to emphasize his point at that moment a group consisting of a Houndoom-morph, a Lopunny-morph, and a Garchomp-morph came up to us.

"Oh, what's this?" The Houndoom said, "Did wittle weirdo Adam get a new freak to be friends with? How cute."

"What the hell do you want Archer?" Adam said, annoyed.

I could feel my own anger boiling up and I clenched my hands into fist on my lap to avoid knocking the fuck out of them.

"Aw, what's the matter Adam, not gonna introduce us to Mr. Emo?" The Lopunny said with a sneer on her face.

"Just piss off!" Adam said, almost yelling it.

"Tsk, tsk. Someone's testy today." Archer said, "Must be his time of the month. Alright, we'll go away before we make you go and cry home to your mommy." He started walking away before freezing and saying over his shoulder, "Oh yeah, I forgot, the only mother you have can't stand to look at you."

He continued walking away, the rest of his gang at his heels, all of them roaring with laughter.

"Arceus, they piss me the fuck off." Adam said, grinding his teeth together.

"Who are those assholes?" I asked, opening my fists and seeing that my nails had dug into the palms of my hands some a small amount of blood was beginning to surface.

"The Houndoom is Archer, the gang's leader; the Lopunny is Trinity, Archer's girlfriend; and the Garchomp is Andrew, Trinity's brother" Adam said. "All of them have rich parents and love to pick on anyone who is different, and normally their favorite targets are Kyle and I. They occasionally pick on Jessica, but they don't think that she's as fun, since she normally ignores them and doesn't get mad, but that backfires on Kyle because they insult her to him and he is one protective fucking brother."

"What's their problem with you guys?" I asked.

"For Kyle it's just the fact that he's adopted," Adam replied, "but they have a fucking field day with me. They call me weirdo because of my fur, emo because I wear a lot of black, gay because I've never had a girlfriend, and then there's always the fact that I'm adopted as well." He sighed before closing his eyes, slumping back in his chair and saying, "Arceus, I fucking hate them."

"Just try and forget about them," a female voice said behind me, "they'll always just be assholes."

Adam opened his eyes and said, "Oh, hey Ashtynn."

I turned slightly in my chair and saw a Blaziken-morph standing behind me. She walked around me and took the seat to my right between Adam and me.

"You really should just ignore them, y'know." Ashtynn said.

"Yeah, I know," Adam said, "but they just keep getting under my fucking skin. I mean, I just got back from military camp and they're already on me again. I never get a fucking break."

"You were at military camp?" I asked.

Adam sighed and said, "Yeah, my mom said I had a bad attitude and was a dick to everyone, so she sent me there to try to 'cure me of my bad behavior, but I'm still almost positive she was hoping it would break me of liking what I like somehow."

"What do you mean?" I said.

"Almost all of my family hates how I dress and the kind of music I listen to, so I'm pretty sure that my mother was wanting that to disappear, but all that that place did to me was make me hate over patriotic rednecks even more than I already did." He replied, "Everyone there was a fucking meathead who thought that if you say one insult about our country you should be burned to death immediately, and of course they all had the same attitude towards me that those three fucktards do."

"Calm down," Ashtynn said, putting a hand on Adam shoulder, "you know that they're just attention deprived conformist assholes." She took her hand off his shoulder and turned to me and said, "I didn't get your name by the way."

"Riku." I said, extending my hand to her.

She shook it and said, "I'm Ashtynn, nice to meet you. So did you just move here?"

"Yeah." I said simply.

"He just moved in with Maxwell yesterday." Adam added.

"Oh," Ashtynn said awkwardly, "so are your parents, y'know?"

"Dead?" I asked. She nodded and I said, "Yes, they have been for multiple years now."

"I'm sorry." Ashtynn said.

"Eh, don't worry about it. I've sorta grown to live with it." I said, shrugging.

"So, you guys wanna go walk around or something?" Adam asked.

'Sorry, I can't." Ashtynn said, "My break ends soon."

Adam shrugged and said, "Alright then, it looks like it's just you and me Riku."

We were about to get up when I felt my pocket vibrate. I pulled my phone out and saw that Jessica sent me a text. I looked at it and saw that she was ready to leave.

"That was Jessica." I said, "She's getting ready to leave."

"Alright then, I guess we're leaving now." Adam said, "See-yah Ashtynn."

"Alright then." Ashtynn said, "Bye guys. It was nice meeting you Riku."

"You too." I replied as she began walking away.

Adam and I grabbed the bags again and started walking to the front entrance of the mall. When we got there we saw Jessica standing there with Levi next to her.

"Ready to go Riku?" She asked. I nodded and she said, "Good. So do you guys wanna come over, Maxwell's out of town for a few days so we'd have the house to ourselves?"

"Sure." Levi said.

"I'm up for it." Adam said.

"Alright then, let's go." Jessica said.

Thankfully the rain had cleared up while we were in the mall, so we had a fairly dry walk home with Jessica and Levi walking a few feet ahead of us, deep in a conversation I wasn't paying attention to while Adam and I were just walking in silence, too tired from carrying multiple heavy bags all day to speak. When we finally got home and through the door Adam and I dropped the bags, letting out large sighs.

"C'mon guys, those bags can't be that heavy." Jessica said as soon as we did this.

"You try carrying them around all day." Adam panted out.

"Okay, whatever." Jessica said, "I'm getting a little hungry, you guys want me to order a pizza for dinner?"

I just shrugged while Adam and Levi both said, "Sure."

"Alright then." Jessica said. "Riku, you two can go on upstairs, I'll call you down when it gets here."

"Alright." I said before picking some of the bags up again.

"Here, I'll help you put everything up." Adam said, grabbing the rest of the bags and following me as I went up the stairs.

We went into my room and I closed the door behind us. Looking at my bed I saw a familiar cream colored ball of fur. I went over to it and poked it. Ashley raised her head up, blinking sleepily.

"Ashley, have you been sleeping in here all day?" I asked.

"Yeah sorry," She said groggily, "Your beds really comfortable and I didn't sleep much last night."

I shrugged and said, "I don't really care. I mean, you did live here first."

"Thanks," Ashley said, standing up and stretching. Noticing Adam still standing by the door she said, "Oh, hey Adam, I didn't know you were back already."

Adam chuckled and said, "Yeah, I got back last night, and I met up Riku and Jess at the mall."

"I'm surprised that that camp could stand having you around all summer, seeing as how it seemed like you wouldn't fit in there so well."Ashley said.

"Yeah, sending me there was not the best idea for the staff there." Adam said, "I can't even count how many times I had to do push ups as punishment for not obeying there stupid rules."

Ashley chuckled and said, "I imagine. Anyways I'll get out of your guy's way; I'm starting to feel too lazy today anyway."

She went to the door and opened it with one of her tails before leaving and closing the door behind her.

I sighed and said, "Well I guess we should start putting everything up now."

We began putting up the clothes I bought in silence until I heard Adam say, "What's with this?"

I turned around from putting a pair of jeans on a hanger and in the closet to see Adam holding a pair of black combat boots and a black bandanna.

"What about them?" I asked.

"It just seems a little weird to get. When did you even get them?" He asked.

"When you went to the bathroom." I replied, "And it's not that weird. It's just a style I used to have years ago, so I decided to see if I could still pull it off."

"Whatever man," Adam said, shrugging "Seems slightly odd to me."

"Says the one who only wears black." I said under my breath.

"Hey man," he retorted, "I don't see you wearing any other color."

I was about to reply when I heard Jessica yell up, "Guys, foods here!"

"C'mon," I said, "I'm fucking starving, I haven't eaten today."

Adam nodded and sat down the clothes, then we left then room.

As I said I'm sorry about the errors and I will try to be better about proofreading in the future, I just hope that the long chapter may help make that up (seriously, this chapter almost doubles the amount of words in this story). And this will most likely be about how frequent the updates will be, if not less frequent, it all depends on what happens in my life. Till next time, I hope you enjoyed.
