Army Brat? ::Roc Royal::

The Surprise (Part 2)

*Jaylen*

"I'm leaving for Afghanistan, in morning" this has been replaying in my head all night. I can't sleep at all, I've been looking up at my ceiling all night. I tried sleep in my mom's room, but it just made me want to cry even more than I already have. Jada and Jaden are asleep in her room though.

I don't know what I'll do if I lose her. She's the only parent I have left, I can't lose her. As much as I try to think positive I can't, because if you think about it, its really hard to. I really, wish I had someone to talk to.

As I lay on my bed still looking up at the pitch black ceiling, I heard a knock in my window. I jumped up quickly, then slowly made my way to the window with the tazzer I keep near my bed, in my right hand. The tazzer was a gift. I slowly pulled the curtain back a little. I sighed deeply when I seen Chresanto standing on my balcony. How he got up her I have no clue.

"What are you doing up here?" I asked in a whisper, after I opened the window.

"I needed someone talk to" he said

"Why me?" I asked

"because you're the only one who will understand" he said. " can I come in?" he asked.

"sure why not" I said. I then I opened the window, letting him in.

He came in and just stood in the middle of my room. As for me, I went and laid in my bed. "well?....what did you want talk about?" I asked

"scoot over" he said as he took his shoes off, and walking toward my bed.

"what?" I said

"just do it" he said. I moved over to the otherside if the bed. He slide on the side I just moved from, now we both were facing the ceiling. Then the room got quiet.

"is your mom going tomorrow too?" he asked

"yep" I sighed. I already knew what he was talking about. "is your mom or dad going?" I asked

"both" he said

"both? that's crazy" I said

"yea it is" he said.

"So where's Cam going" I asked

"he's currently at my grandma's house" he said.

"oh, Jada's going to my Aunts house in the morning after my mom leaves" I said

This moment wasn't uncomfortable at all, well at first it was because he got in my bed. Now, its like a normal conversation.

"Has your mom ever left, before" he asked

"Yea, but it wasn't long. When my dad was alive he would leave all the time, until the last time he left, he never came back" I could feel the tear starting to form in my eyes just mentioning my father. "My whole life, my only fear was, one of my parents leaving and not coming back. then when it actually happened, everything changed" I added

"that's one of my fears, too" he said. " I can't lose another person close to me" he continued

"what do you mean?" I asked

"a few years back, my brother was killed in the war" he said.

"what was his name?"; I asked. its crazy because, I've never seen this side of Roc before.

"Camden". he simply said

"oh"I said "Well, on the bright side at least when your parents leave you'll have your entire house to yourself, but for me its gonna be Jaden and I" I said

"but at least, you'll have somebody" he said with a sigh.

"what do you mean? you'll have Alicia won't you?" I said

"To be honest I don't know if, were still together" he said. "She's been mad at me ever since, that day at the beach" He continued.

"She probably thinks I'm trying to take you away from her, that's all" I said

"maybe" he said.

Suddenly, the room grew quiet, again. It was a little weird now.

"Well, since neither of are saying anything, I think you should head home"

"Why?" he asked

"Because, you don't live here"

"can I stay, please?" he whined

"ugh! fine but you have to leave early, or my mom will kill me" I said

"yay!" he cheered

"you are so gay" I laughed. Then, I grabbed my phone from my night stand. Oh, yea I forgot to tell you guys, my mom gave my phone back. I guess, at the moment the wasn't really important.

"I am not Gay" he defended

"hmmmm"

"I'll show you I'm not gay" he mumbled

"what was that?" I asked

"I said oh you got your phone back" he said

"yea, whatever I heard you"

"than why'd you ask?" he said. I know he's not trynna get smart with me, in my room in my house.

"you know what? you can get out" I said

"Chill I was just playin'"

"As a matter a fact........You can sleep on the floor" I said as I got up to turn on the lamp and get a blanket off my chair.

"You make me sleep on the floor, and I'll go tell your mom I'm in here" he said

"You wouldn't" I said

"oh but I would" he said before getting up and
