Chapter Fourteen

Be Dave
====>

Karkat was munching on popcorn throughout the commercials and movie trailers. I on the other hand decided I needed to relax so I slumped back in my seat and rested my eyes throughout the commercials.

"Dave..... Dave wake up..." I was being shaken awake. "Dave wake up quick!"
The words became frantic.
The smell of smoke and burning wood flooded my senses the moment I became aware of the world around me.

"Dave we have to go get up!!" The voice belonged to my Bro. I didn't know what was happening. All I knew was we were in danger.

After I fully woke up Bro dragged me out of our burning house. Our parents nowhere to be seen. I was screaming for them as Bro held me back from running into our collapsing house.

My mother was almost out of the house followed by our father when my worst nightmare became a reality. The house collapsed on them.

A thirteen and eight year old boys were the only to survive in a freak house fire. Now orphaned.

"Dave... Dave wake up..." I was brought back to reality by being shaken by Karkat.

"The movie is about to start." He said with an almost empty popcorn bucket in his hands and his face fixated and focused on the screen.

"Yea cool. Hey KitKat, you need some more popcorn? I'll go get us some." I said dashing out of the isle without waiting for a response.

I ran straight for the bathroom. I haven't had that dream in a long time. Fact is it wasn't a dream, but a memory.

I splashed my face with cold water from the bathroom faucet. I looked in the mirror and mouthed the word "stronger."

I coolly walked back to my seat next to Karkat with a full bucket of popcorn.

"Hey I got that popco-" I was sharply cut off as I was shoved in my seat.

"Yea ye,a shut up and watch the movie." Karkat said abruptly like it was the most important thing in the world.

I was zoned out for most of the movie and was lost in my own world until this one scene caught my eye. Out of what I got from bits and pieces I heard of the movie the scene was Hazel and Augustus climbing up some stairs in the Anne Frank house. Then they kissed.

I looked over to Karkat who was blushing uncontrollably and staring at the movie screen. How I wish I could kiss him.

Then... I did.
