“Nick,” She whispered. She laughed at herself.
“Nicky...” she said a little louder She pushed him. He woke up.
“Julia? What are you doing in my room?” Nick asked sitting up and covering himself.
“Nick, I couldn’t sleep,” Julia answered.
“God, I feel like we’re 10 years old again,” Nick said putting a hand to his face.
“Me too,” Julia smiled feeling stupid. “I think I’ll go back home,”
“No! Julia, stay here,” Nick said moving over.
“Okay....with you...” Julia smiled. She climbed in his bed. She moved closer to Nick and he wrapped his arms around her.
“Goodnight Julia,” Nick whispered.
“Goodnight Nick,” Julia said. Nick kissed her on the cheek and fell asleep. Julia smiled, yawned then fell asleep. The next morning, around 6:00am, Julia woke up. She had forgotten that she stayed with Nick that night. She got up from his bed and walked to the window. She climbed out of his room and ran home to her own room. When Nick woke up he didn’t see Julia anywhere. It was 10:00am and he thought maybe his mom walked in and woke her up and told her to go home. Then he realized that his window was open.
“She went home...” Nick whispered. He got up and walked downstairs to the kitchen.
“Good morning Nick,” BJ smiled.
“Morning Beeg,” Nick answered. He walked to the refrigerator and took out the milk. He took a up and poured himself some. He began drinking.
“Uh...Nick I think that milk is bad!” BJ said from the hallway. Nick spat it everywhere.
“What?!” Nick called. BJ laughed.
“Just joking,” BJ laughed.
“You bitch!” Nick called.
“Nickolas! Watch your language!” Jane raised her voice while walking into the kitchen.
“Sorry mom, but she made me spit my milk everywhere,” Nick said.
“Nick? Who was in your room last night?” Jane asked.
“Julia. She came at around 2 am. I let her sleep here. Why she came, I do not know,” Nick answered.
“Oh...did she go home?” Jane asked.
“Yeah, she left early this morning,” Nick answered. Jane smiled and took orange juice from the refrigerator. She sat down and drank.
“I’m going to visit Julia today,” Nick said. Just then, the doorbell rang.
“I’ll get it,” Nick said. He got up and walked towards the door. He opened it and saw Julia.
“Jules! Good morning! What are you doing here?” Nick smiled.
“I came to visit!” Julia smiled.
“I was just talking about you. Come in,” Nick smiled.
“Nice PJ’s Nick,” Julia laughed. Nick blushed.
“Julia!” BJ smiled.
“BJ!” Julia smiled as well. They hugged.
“Wow girl, you look great! Last time I saw you, you were...this high!” Julia said putting her hand on her waist. BJ laughed.
“Well hello Julia!” Jane smiled. Julia hugged BJ and then hugged Jane. Then Aaron walked by.
“Is that Aaron?” Julia asked in disbelief.
“Yes, this is Aaron. He’s 11,” Jane smiled.
“Hi Aaron. I’m Julia. I used to come over here everyday to play with Nick,” Julia smiled.
“Hi! Hey, I remember you,” Aaron smiled.
“Cool. How is Angel?” Julia smiled.
“She’s good,” Aaron answered. He walked into the TV room and sat down. Story Main Page | Chapter 6
