Nightmares Never Really End 3

I looked up and saw Jakob looking at me with a questionable look. "What was that?" I kept my poker face on. See I was good at that. The whole no emotion thing. 'Cause I was a zoney person.
"What was what?"I said playing dumb.
"What you shoved in your pocket? What was it?" He looked at me with a amused look in his eye.
"You know...Curiosity killed the cat." I was trying to avoid his question and I would succeed.
"I know but knowledge brought him back."Oh. That was a good one.
"Its nothing. Honestly." LIAR! Er! I should of told the truth. I kept a straight face as he laughed.
"Sure sure." He laughed simply.
He reaches into his backpack and pulled out a copy of Shakespere's Romeo And Juliet. I had tried to read it, but I never finish anything. I looked over his shoulder, reading it.
"Do you want to read it? I've already read it thirty times."I tried not to look shocked and surprised. I didn't, thankfully.
"I'm not much of a reader. Why have you read it so many time?" I had to ask. It was going to bother me if I didn't.
He laughed again. All the laughing wasn't making me feel too sharp. I felt actually hurt. ""Nothing else to do. I haven't been in school since I realized my power, per se. I'm scared to. I don't want to freeze someone. That wouldn't be good. I read a lot. That's all that I have in this backpack. No clothes. Nothing." It actually amazed me that he didn't tell me. I wanted to shop with him.
Even feeling like I was an idiot. I smiled. "Oh. Then I think I need to take you shopping,"
"Oh no! Please don't spend money on me. Being in a home, under an actual roof is good enough. No need to go to extreme lengths!" I wanted to tell him that I didn't mind. My parents had money and they supported me. Notice. The private beach house. Even if its small.
"It would be my pleasure to take you shopping. You need some clothes. Why don't you go and take a really warm shower? That may feel good." He probably deserved one. After all he had to look for places to sleep. And now he had one. With a shower.
He nodded at me. I pointed him in the right direction to the bathroom.
I heard the door close. I had already set out two towels. One was going to be for me. But if he needed it. I heard the water turn on. "I wonder what my brother would say if he knew I had boy in my house." I laughed at myself.
I got up and went towards the bathroom messing with the necklace in my pocket. "I'll give it to him when its right." I looked down at myself.
I was right behind a wall when I heard my name called. "Aven? Do you have a toothbrush?" I was suddenly confused.
"Yeah, why?" I looked towards my room. I had this thing, where I collected thing I would need. I had about 20 unopened travel toothbrushes and 10 stay at home toothbrushes. 1

"I need one." I didn't hear anymore so I went to my closet and grabbed one. I didn't want to seem like a know it all. So I spent some time brushing my hair and reading some of his Romeo and Juliet. It was actually interesting. 2

I walked in and saw him standing at the sink in nothing but a towel. It made me feel weird. I'd never seen a guy like that, that wasn't family. I observed his body. I took it all in. I handed him the toothbrush. 3

"Can you do me one more thing?" He was looking at me. 4

"What is it?"I kept my eyes to the floor now. 5

"In my backpack. The front pocket has two things of toothpaste. I need them."6

I walked away going towards his backpack. When I looked for it. I couldn't find it. The stupid thing had about FIFTY MILLION DIFFERENT POCKETS!! "In the front pocket. What god damn front pocket?! There's about eighty!" I groaned and grabbed it. 7

I walked straight into the bathroom confused. He couldn't be more specific. Jerk. Now I feel even MORE like an idiot. He laughed and opened the front pocket. Then he pulled out two different toothpastes, mouthwash, and floss picks. I walked into the bathroom. "What are you doing?" It was actually weird.8

"I, um. I have OCD. I have to do everything exactly the same way so I'm brushing my teeth the way I used to do." He put the brush in his mouth and started brushing. I made that 'O' face and walked out. I went to the couch sitting down. I didn't have T.V. because I never did watch it. So I grabbed my book I had been reading. Good book. 'Nothing To Lose' by Alex Flinn. I had just finished 'Beastly' for the twentith time. 9

I heard the door close. "Man, I feel like an idiot." I wasn't talking to anyone. I was talking to the lizard on the window. I kept reading until I heard the door open. "Shit." I put the book back in the hidden drawer on the coffee table. 10

He sat down by me and I smiled at him. He faintly smiled back and began reading again.11

"Feel better?" I asked.12

"Yes. Much," He responded. I felt his bare hand against my skin. It felt good. His cold touch. I saw him looking at me. More like studying. I felt his hand under my chin. My heart started racing. He pulled me close to him and...13
