< 14 >

He is just standing there luring me in with his eyes. I walk towards him.our bodies are inches apart. This is just a dream... It's just a dream. I can wake up anytime I want. I close my eyes then when I open them I'm in Mitch's bed. Thank Allah. I look to my left and see Mitch sitting shirtless at his computer. Lord help me I am sinning "Hey good morning what time is it"
He didn't respond. Instead he got up and started walking towards me
"What're you doing" I ask. He just smiles
"Mitch what's going on where is Brayden"
He get into the bed next to me
"Mitch I don't think we should do this"
His smile got bigger. As he leaned in. My heart started pounding. Do I want this? I close my eyes and lean in.
I open my eyes and quickly sit up. My heart is pounding. I look around and the house is dark except for the tv screen that is lighting up the living room. I can heard Mitch and Brayden lightly snoring. one on the floor and the other on the couch opposite of me. I swing my legs onto the floor and get in a sitting position. My heart is still pounding and my head feels light. I get up and grabbed my phone. I headed down the hall into the restroom and closed the door. I turned the lights on and groan. Fuck that is bright. I turn on the faucet and splash my face. I look at myself In the mirror. God I look so bad. I put my hair up and rinse my face again. I open the door and the house is still completely dark. I look at the time on my phone and it says 5:36. I should just go home. I walk towards the door.
"Where are you going"
"Jesus...brain you fucking scared me half to death" I say in a loud whisper. Which makes him blow air through his nose and smile.
"I am going home"
"Why"
"Why not"
"I don't know"
I smile
"Come on" he says getting up
"Where are we going"
"To fuck around on Mitch's computer"
"Ok fine"
We go upstairs to Mitch's room and close the door. "Yes he has his twitter up" brain says typing. I walk up behind the chair to see what he was typing . 'I love @thecampingrush'. "Hey what's your twitter" I smile and lean over him and type in my twitter. He hits send and within seconds the post had over 50 favorites a few retweets and a dozen comments. Woah that is ridiculously amazing. Brain was laughing. "Look read some of these comments"
We scroll through some of the comments 'ily @thecamping rush more than you' 'aww' 'I la-la-la love you' '@mrmitch361 follow me pls I fna' ' who is the other person'
"They are so cute" brain says looking through more comments
"My phone is going crazy with notifications so many follows and mentions"
Brain just starts to laugh
"Shhhhh we might wake up Mitch"
"Oh yeah I forgot"
We mess around for a while on his twitter then we open his minecraft
"Do you know how to play"
"Kinda Ryan taught me a little bit"
"Oh when did Ryan teach you" he say unenthusiastically like he didn't want me spending time with Ryan.
"That night we were at his house"
"Oh" he turned his face towards the screen.
"So um are we gonna play" I ask
"Yeah sure"
"Yay" fucking balls I though guys were suppose to be chill not moody like my mother going through menopause.
He clicks on a box titled TheArchon under a bigger box that read multiplayer servers
Mitch's character pops up in some random area and is instantly surrounded by people. "Ooo can I play" I say moving to the side of the chair
"Sure" brain says chuckling
"Awesome"
I get control over the mouse and keyboard and sit on brains lap. I walk around and look at things like Ryan taught me.
"Go here" brain says pointing to the screen
It takes me into a game
"Brain I don't really know how to play strategic games"
"I'll help you"
"Alright"
I focus on the screen and the the game starts.
"Go that way"
"There is bunch of people following me" I whine.
Brain just laughs."look that one dropped a stone sword" I pick up the sword.
"Left click left click"
I swing and instantly kill three people that weren't actually trying to kill me.But whatever
We play a few games and I'm not gonna say I'm the best player ever it's just I'm a natural. I didn't win any of the games but I did make to the end a few times. Suddenly right as we loaded into a lobby Mitch's door opens.
"What the hell guys"
"Well good morning sleepy head" me and brain laugh as Mitch just looks done.
"We are playing minecraft" we both beam
"Ugh why"
"Because it's fun"
"Whatever"
He looked annoyed. Why doesn't he like talking to me about games. That is so rude and anyways that game is super fun! Whatever I guess I should just go home if he is going to act all salty.
"Umm I should go home" say getting up from brains lap
"What why" brain asks
"I have to check on my brother"
Which actually isn't a lie yeah I know he can take care of himself but he had those friends over and plus he is just a baby.
I walk to my house and get on my computer. I really didn't check on my brother but whatever. I just can't shake why minecraft is embarrassing for Mitch.I guess he is as embarrassed for me to know he plays minecraft as I am to tell them about my past. I don't know minecraft is a good escape... It is simple and fun. I download it and play the single player tutorial. Yeah I'm one of those people but hey I can master anything if I can actually practice it first.
---------------3,660 seconds later--------------
I am ready to play with other people I join quite a few server. Most of the ones I join I are the ones Mitch and Ryan play on
THEARCHON
KASTIA
MCSG
THEHIVE
AMNESTY
UHCZONE
I play for a few more hours switching from server to serve. Then my door hits my wall like Darla from finding nemo does at her uncles office.
"Jesus you scared me"
She stumbles into my room reeking of alcohol I could tell she has been crying
"Mom are you ok...are you drunk" my voice getting higher as I say the sentence how could she get drunk! She promised!
"I'm fine and I'm not even drunk" she slurs her words it's like she has marbles in her mouth.
"I think you need to take a nap" I don't even want to deal with her right now. She is pissing me off just the sight of her acting like this makes my head want to explode.
"I don't need you telling me what to do"
"I'm just trying to help you! Because you don't seem to be helping yourself"
"I don't need your help"
"Why are you acting crazy"
"While you were out being a little whore max broke up with me"
"Good he was a bast- bad person" I was fed up with her shit and max was a psychopath anyway.
"Don't talk about him that way you ungrateful twat"
"Do you even know what is coming out of mouth" I shout. I can see the anger in her face. She raises her hand and swings it towards my face. I scoot back and she misses. I fight the urge to cry
"What the Fu-heck mom what is your problem" I yell
I see my brother coming from down the hall
"What is going on"
"Oh my baby I love you so much" her mood changes instantly.
She hugs him and kisses his cheek.
I know my face is red and I know my brother can tell I am pissed off.
"Hey mom let's go to your room you look tired" he says guiding her down the hallway
"Yes you are right honey I am very tired"
They walk out and I stand there I am to frustrated and flustered to deal with any dastardly nonsense.
I sit my chair and pull my knees up to my chest. I can feel myself breaking down. She promised.
