We were halfway back to my house and I was stuck in the 5
o’clock traffic. I sighed and looked around me. Nick AJ and Eliese had all
fallen asleep. Eliese was leaning up against AJ and they looked cute together.
I yawned and moved up about 5 inches when the line of traffic
moved infront of me.
“want me to drive?”
I jumped and looked over at Nick.
“Nick you scared ths hit outta me. Don’t do that” I said “I
thought you were sleeping?”
“I was, but I woke up”
“I realized”
“well do you want me to drive?” he asked
“no that’s ok”
“sure, you look tired”
“I am but im fine”
“do you have exams?” he asked
“yeah, my next one isnt until Monday thought. Thank god”
“do you stay up late studying?” he asked
“no I don’t study at all. just the test itself wares me out”
“oh” he said “so how long have you known Eliese?”
“not long, since january but we just clicked and have been best
friends ever since”
“wow that’s cool you seem really close”
“we are, I mean I hate my sister and she doesn’t have one so
were like sisters”
“you hate your sister?”
“yep”
“aww I bet you don’t”
“I bet I do. You have no idea what shes like, shes 12, drinks,
smokes, does pot and I wouldn’t be surprised if shes having sex. shes such a
little slut.”
“wow, is that why you ‘hate her’?” he asked
“not really, she just has the worst attitude and stuff. and ahhh
I just hate her I don’t want to talk about it”
“does she know you have those kind of feelings about her”
“does she ever, I tell her everyday”
“that’s nice”
“listen Nick, I know you probably think im a bitch for it, but
you don’t know me and you don’t know whats going on ok?”
“sorry” he said quietly.
I sighed “no wait im sorry, I didn’t mean to say it that
harshly. I just really need some sleep and all this traffic is pissing me off”
“its ok, I understand”
“that’s it im going a different way” I pulled a U turn and went
back the other way.
We got to my house about three hours later, it was 11 at night.
“oh god sorry guys, no party tonight, maybe tomorrow. Im so
tired lets just watch a movie” I said throwing my keys on the table.
“alright” they agreed
“Eliese pick out a movie and I’ll show them their rooms”
“am I sharing with you?” she asked
“yeah” I said heading up the stairs with Nick and AJ behind me.
“you have a nice house” AJ commented
“thanks” I replied “its ok I guess”
“yeah its big” Nick said
“ok AJ you can have this one and Nick you can have this one. The
bathrooms right there and just make yourselves at home” I said pointing them to
their rooms. “I’ll let you get settled and go help Eliese pick out a movie”
“ok” they said, I went downstiars and to the livingroom where
Eliese was.
“hey how about…shes all that” she asked
“naww no chick flicks, Nick and AJ wont like it” I said
“ok, how about american pie”
“sure” I said “I'll make some popcorn”
“ok”
after I made popcorn I put it in two bowls and walked into the
livingroom. AJ and Eliese were laying oppisite heachother on the half circle
couch and Nick was sitting in the chair. I gave one bowl to Eliese and AJ and
one to Nick and laid down on the floor.
“hey you can sit here if you want” Nick said looking down at me.
“its your house”
“I know im fine” I said smiling at him. “thanks though”
“well I feel bad so I’ll come lay on the floor with you”
“whatever” I laughed
after watching the movie Nick looked over and saw Brianna was
sleeping. Eliese went over and shut off the tv and vcr.
“oh god im so tired…Bria…” she started
“no I’ll take her to bed don’t wake her. Wheres her room?” Nick
asked
“im going there, follow me”
“ok” he carefully picked her up into his arms and followed
Eliese and AJ up the stairs.
“night AJ” Eliese said giving him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
“night Eliese, see you tomorrow”
“yep” she said opening the door to Briannas room. Nick walked in
and set her down on the bed. He spred a blanket over her and kissed her cheek.
“thanks Nick” Eliese said
“welcome, night” he said walking out and shutting the door.
The next morning I woke up and saw Nick sitting at my desk
looking at my CD rack.
“whats up?” I asked yawning
“oh good morning” he smiled “I was just looking at your CDs…its
kinda weird, you have us, limp bizkit, korn, eminem, DMX, metallica…it’s a
variety”
“I know, I like all kinds of music”
“I see that”
“wheres Eliese and AJ”
“they went out for breakfast, I told them I would wait and me
and you would go out. But now it would have to be lunch”
I looked over at the clock. It was 12:36. “oops I slept in
again” I laughed “sorry your probably starving”
“no im not”
“well I'll get ready ok?”
“ok”
“oh and Eliese took your car so I guess we’re walking”
“that bitch” I said “shes a shitty driver shes gonna smash it
up”
“well if she does, I’ll buy you a new one”
“thanks Nick” I laughed walking into the bathroom.
Eliese and AJ walked into a resturant and sat down.
“so Eliese, how are you?” AJ asked after a long silence
“im good AJ, how are you?” she laughed
“great, I like it up here”
“whys that? Its boring”
“theres not a lot of people, its quiet”
“AJ its Friday afternoon everyones working”
“oh well…I knew that” he said
she laughed “so do you guys hang out a lot when your not
touring?”
“sometimes, but not usually cause we get sick of eachother”
“well I hope you don’t get sick of me”
“I wont” he smiled sweetly.
I walked out of
the bathroom and saw that Nick was looking at the pictures hanging on the wall.
“that your sister?” he asked
“yep”
“oh, I kinda see where your coming from, she is kinda dressed
like a slut”
“Nick” I said “she was 11 years old in that picture”
“hmmm I guess your right” he said
the phone rang and I went over and picked it up.
“hello?…oh hey Mr.Demers…no shes out…what?…oh my god…I’ll go
find her im so sorry…” I hung up and looked at Nick.
“whats wrong?” he asked
“we gotta find Eliese and AJ”
“why”
“cause Elieses mom died this morning”
