The Umbrella Academy Season 3

Chapter 3

"I don't know..." I answer, "wait! Five try reading my mind!"

"Uh okay..." Five tries then laughs a little.

"What's so funny?" Klaus asks him.

"She said the coffee isn't that good." Five says looking at me and I laugh a little.

"So this means only we can hear what each other say in our minds?" I say.

"I guess it does. But why?" Five asks.

"You said it earlier" I say, "we're basically two of the same, person so it's like yourself is thinking."

"Well, I guess that makes sense." Five says then looks at the time. "I need to get back."

I look at the time as well. "You're right, we should go. "

"Already? We just got here!" Klaus whines.

"Yes Klaus, come on. I'll blink us to my room."

"Ooooh okay!" He says jumping and clapping.

"Hold my hand." I hold my hand out for Klaus and blink to my room. Once we get there someone knocks on the door.

"Come in." I say to whoever was outside the door.

"Hey Five, can I talk to you for a second?" Ben asks, walking in.

"Sure" I answer, "Klaus, can you get out for a minute?"

"Yeah, sure. I'm gonna go get a drink, you want anything?"

"It's 2pm and you're gonna get a drink?!" I say confused.

"Yeah... And?"

"Nothing. Never mind" I say, "just, don't get drunk."

"No promises!" He says then skips away.

"So what did you need Ben?"

"I was just wondering if you read the book I let you borrow when we were younger before you left?"

"I started to, but I didn't get to finish. Why d-" I stop mid sentence because I see Ben staring at the floor with tears in his eyes.

"Hey, what's wrong?" I say concerned walking towards him. He runs up to me and hugs me tightly. I hesitate, but then quickly hug him back.

"I- I  just- really missed you." He says sadly, "you were my best friend. You were there for me when nobody else was." He says starting to let go before I pull him back and hugs him tighter.

"I missed you too. There wasn't a day that went by that I didn't worry about you." I say as a tear starts to run down my face. We continue hugging in silence for a few minutes until someone knocks on the door.

"Who is it?" I say letting go of Ben and wiping the tears from my face.

"It's Five."

"Oh, come in." I say a little confused.

"Alright so I- was I interrupting something?" He says walking and seeing Ben, making me and Ben look at each other.

"Um, no. You're fine." I say.

"I was just leaving." He says as he starts walking out of the room.

"Yeah. You need something?" I ask Five as I walk over to my desk, sit down, pick up the book Ben gave me and opening it.

"Yeah, I figured you had chalk board walls like I did in my room, so I was wondering if I could use them to do my calculations to get back?"

"Sure, the chalk is in that container." I point to it on my desk.

"Thanks."

"Mhm."

I continue to read the book as Five does his calculations. After a few minutes, I look up from my book and at Five.

"Hey Five, just because I was nice to you doesn't mean I like you."

"Doesn't have to. I don't like you either." He says looking at me for a second, then back at the wall.

"Good." I say looking back at the book.

*Five's(b) POV*

I think to myself "This is not gonna be an easy task."

"Yeah, I can already tell it's not." Five answers.

"Can you stop listening to what I say in my mind all the time!" I say mad.

"It's not like I do it on purpose, okay? I just hear it, if you don't want me to hear something, then maybe don't think it!" She says slaming the book shut then leaving the room.

"Maybe I should stop thinking things around her before she hear something I actually don't want her to." I say to myself.

*Five's(g) POV*

I go to find Klaus and see him at the bar and sit with him.

"So what did Ben want?" Klaus asks.

"He was just asking me about something from when we were younger." I respond. 

*Sorry there's been a lot of changes with the story, I've never done this kind of thing so I'm not used to it.
