Jacob POV:

    

     Hours. It felt like fucking hours. How long does it take for him to get ready and get his ass down here so we can go! I told them that we should just let him continue to mope around the house like he's been doing ever since he's got here. They quickly turned my idea down and insisted that we couldn't leave him here while the rest of us were out because he might try to do something. I thought their reply was bullshit. Who cares if the shit has problems, who cares that he's had it rough. No one cares....at least I don't. He thinks he's had it rough? I can guarantee that whatever the kid has gone through is NOTHING compared to what I have endured in my life time so far.
    
     "There you are!" I guess I wasn't paying attention to what was happening around me because I didn't notice elijah had finally come out till now. He ignored Alex, who was seated at my left, and slipped in the seat on my right that hadn't been taken by anyone and immediately his head shot towards his shoes. I rolled my eyes, how dramatic. I noticed Alex's face fall into a bit of a frown from not being acknowledged, and he sunk back into his seat by my left. It made my blood boil. I've always known that Alexander was someone who wanted to be known, acknowledged, appreciated...but he never got that until he came to our home.

     I had got lost in my thoughts again because this time when i snapped out of them the car was already on the rode heading to our destination and Alex's face had gone from a slight frown to an even larger one with his head hanging low. I didn't like when I saw any of them sad, but I have always had more of a soft spot for Alex.

     I moved my arm towards his seat and let my hand land on his shoulder and pulled him towards me. The seat belts were in my way so i unbuckled both of us while the car was still moving and pulled him into my side. He kept his head down so i brought my other arm that wasn't around him and lifted up his chin with my thumb and pointer finger so that he was staring into my eyes as i stared back into his now widened eyes. I could see him begin to blush from how close we were, we were so close that our breaths mixed as one, his always smelt of mint and oranges. An odd combination but did i mind...no, in fact i loved it. I leant down a bit more and gently pressed my lips against his and started rubbing small circles on his cheek with my pointer finger since i had moved my middle finger to hold his chin along with the help of my thumb. He kissed back in a matter of seconds. It didn't last long, for it was not a passionate kiss, it wasn't one of hunger or lust...it was one to show him that i was acknowledging him, that i appreciated him.

     I kept him close to my side with his head rested on my shoulder and my head on his own while the others were laughing and singing rather horribly to the songs on the radio, I smiled at that. I did keep glancing at Elijah but he always had his head down....good.

Elijah POV:

    Jacob, Anothny, Alexander, Lucas,and Jaxon were already in the car and waiting for me. Apparently
Eric , Tristan, Logan ,and Cole had gone somewhere else earlier and so it was just the six of us going shopping.

   We finally got to our destination about half an hour later. It looked like a plaza of some sort i guess. I never actually been to many places because of my uncle so am not sure what i was expecting.  We all walked together into our first store, which happened to be a place called Barns and Nobels.

3 hours later (sorry for the time skip, i didn't really want to write about what they bought or did in the stores)

   For some reason though out this whole trip I wasn't as nervous as I thought I would be. I guess because we are traveling in a group I felt a little bit safe. Wait no why am I saying this. They could turn on me any second.
  
  They were attracting lots of  stares , probably because they are friggin hot. Wait what no they aren't why is this happening I need a smoke. I felt a little uncomfortable with people staring so I distance myself from the group a little.

   We had gone in and out of many stores. I didn't buy anything, I didn't know how to. I didn't want to ask, or just randomly go pick something up and pay for it. Not that I had money. Well Jaxon gave me a card saying I could buy anything I need or want with it. But  I was already living with them, I don't want to be a bigger burden that I already am, by using their money for something as worthless as me .

Everyone else had gotten at least one thing.  I had noticed Alexander hadn't got anything--by himself that is. Jacob had picked out an otter stuffed toy and had given it to him. I hadn't noticed I was still staring until I caught Jacob's eye. I instantly cursed myself in my head for getting a bit flustered; though even I couldn't blame myself fully...he was very attractive. My thoughts came to an end the minute i saw his death glare towards me and looked away.

"Don't mind him." I now suddenly became aware of the hot breath fanning my ear and neck. I twisted around with slightly widened eyes and came face to face.....well, more like nose to nose with Jaxon. He must've noticed my startled expression because he smiled a bit rubbing his neck and stepped a bit back saying, "Oh,..sorry about that!"

I cleared my throat a bit and replied with a blunt nod, a way of me showing it was alright.

He just stared at me still with a smile as if he was waiting for me to say something. When he noticed I wasn't going to he then cleared his throat, probably to distinguish some of the awkwardness. "Like I was saying, don't  worry or bring yourself down when Jacob is being a bit of a pissy asshole!" his smile got bigger when he said the last part and he laughed a bit too.

I decided to step out of my comfort zone a bit and asked, "Does he give everyone death glares?"

He throws his head back for a laugh and then looks at me and says "Nope! You just happened to be the chosen one!" I started to feel nervous, scared maybe? Why did he not like me...? Would he hurt me because he doesn't like me?

    Jaxon saw my face and immediately clarified that he was joking, and then said, "He just gets over protective sometimes, he's grown up having to...." I noticed that when he said the last part he trailed off and his face was no longer happy and bright, he was now looking down with his eyebrows slightly furrowed. I was also confused when he said that Jacob was over protective....iv'e only seen him with Alexander..were they in a relationship?

Both Jaxon and I turned our heads in alarm towards the recent noise taking place...screaming and siren's....
