Chapter 26

Nelson's Pov
-----------(Dun Dun DUN)

I was overwhelmed with all these emotions. I actually found the other half of me,Layla. But the problem would be to get her out of here or that I would have to join this foster home. Which I highly doubt that they'd want me, since day one no family ever wanted me. I just looked like plain trouble and I honestly didn't care. I wanted people to love me for who I am, I didn't want anyone to fix me.

I sat down on the brown leather couch and waited for Layla to come downstairs. Then I saw a little mesh of orange coloured hair walk up to me.

"What are you doing here?! What do you want with my sister." He crossed his arms defensively.

I thought for a while, she said nobody could know about this. That nobody would believe my story, I get it. I'm basically a Boy who came back from the dead...Im probably a Zombie or something. I laughed at the thought and realized the boy still there.

"What's your name orange?"

"Klaus, but Nicklaus for you..."

"Well hello Orange. I'm here to pick up Layla we are working on a project." I kept thinking, damn nice lie Nel, nice lie.

"Sure whatever." He threw himself on the couch and grabbed the remote. Changing it to an old black and white movie.

"What's up you don't like colour?"

"HEY DONT JUDGE ME OKAY?!" He yelled at me unexpectedly and laughed afterwards. "I'm just kidding or am I?" He stared at me for a few seconds and looked back at the screen.

I was so glad Layla came downstairs, she looked startled at the view. Then she gave me a glare that said 'did you tell Orange?' Sorry sorry 'Nicklaus'. I shook my head no and got up heading to the door with Layla.

"Layla where do you expect you are going?" He yelled from the couch.

"Out..."

Nicklaus faked hurt and said " They grow up so fast. Be back before 11pm got it?"

"Will do father, will do."

"What do you want to do?" I asked excitedly.

"I can show you around town."

"I don't think that's very convenient, I ride a motorcycle unless you could ride one. How about we go to a coffee shop down the road?"

"Okay sounds like a plan."

I led her to my bike and gave her a helmet (Safety first kids, Safety First). Turning the ignition my bike roared to life and we were gone.

Nelson's pov continued

"How's it like to be with the Jackson's"
We've been sitting here for at least an hour talking.

"Well honestly no one can beat mom and dad but they are really close behind, they care. Where are you going to stay I need to let them know first but not so sudden?"

"I really don't know. I don't know anyone here, not close by either."

"Devin!"

"Who Melvin? I really don't want to crash at a dudes house who's name is Melvin."

"No Devin, come on."

She grabbed me by the hand and dragged me out of the café. She jumped on the bike.

"I'm not going anywhere until the helmet is on your head."

I heard a groan from behind me and she put the helmet on. But then a familiar car pasted by me and caught my attention.

"Go!" She yelled and I did, the car started to follow us.

"Layla do you know that car?" She turned her head. "Yes that's Liam's car."

"Damn it, hold on." I hit the gas and we went flying leaving Liam behind us where he couldn't find us.

"NEL, IM GOING TO KILL YOU DIDNT YOU SEE THE SPEED LIMIT?"

"Shhhhh I'm trying to stay at this Melvin's place, without that hound-dog Liam on me."

I turned at Layla's house and we got off. But she started to walk to the one on the right and she knocked on the door. A guy will messy hair and green eyes walked to the door.

"Hey Layla... Who's that?"

"Look Devin you're the only one I can trust right now please just let him stay here. Liam is close behind our trail. "

"Okay okay, but that bike is pretty noticeable. "

"I got it Nel just go inside. "Layla pushed me inside the strangers house, damn it what if this is a trap. What if he's a murderer.

"Want something to eat ?" He walked into the kitchen.

"Uh no thanks had a muffin."

"Alright you can sleep in my room. The room right across mine is off limits. If my dads comes at you like a raging bull, it's normal. Got it?"

"Yeah yeah."

He led me to his room which was pretty cluttered.

"Whatever you name is..."

"Nelson."

"Nelson you sleep there." He pointed to the floor and threw blankets and a pillow at me.

"Thanks Melvin for letting me crash here."

He groaned and threw himself on his bed. "Wait didn't you die?"

"Yes I did, I'm a zombie douchebag. Don't you like me sister?" Everything went silent, I meant the last part as a joke but apparently it wasn't to him.

"Oh shit you like my sister?!"

"NO!"

"Tell me everything dude."

"You can't tell."

"I swear."

"Well I always thought she was pretty but, he foster brother Liam..."

"Yeah yeah him. "

"He kinda likes her and so does this other guy. But anyways he threw a party at their house. She got a little TIPSY and she wanted to go a little farther with me."

"You didn't take advantage like her like that did you?"

"No that's the thing I did want to go there, but I just couldn't. It's wasn't right. But then all that happened and then she got arrested. I don't know things just never seem to go my way. Then you showed up, she'll probably always want to be with you, which I don't blame because well you were APPARENTLY DEAD for over a year."

"God Damn you rant like a girl. But it's okay I'll help you get my sister as long as she doesn't end up with Liam"
