Slepep!-




























Phoenix had agreed to help Enid, be her copilot, her hand delicately moved the paint brush back and forth. Her mind seemed to be at rest for the time being. Her body was tense, but her mind seemed clear, no thoughts really interrupted her. Non other than the one about the poe cup.

"I need your help" Wednesday spoke from behind the two girls who looked up at the dark haired girl. "Both of you" she clarified, watching the two with careful eyes as they stood up setting the brushes to the side.

"Miss Weems is watching me like a hawk and I need you to cover for me" Wednesday spoke to Enid who shook her head. Moving the brush with yellow paint on it back and forth. "Strike two. I hate bees and I'm busy ask thing, oh wait! You can't" Enid shrugged, Wednesdays eyes flickering between the two girls who looked at her blankly.

"Why's he mad?" Wednesday questioned looking between the two who sent her knowing looks. "He said he feels like you don't respect him as a person" Phoenix stated as she pulled off her apron. Paint splotches covering it.

"Well he's only a hand" Wednesday stated with a small shrug as she looked to Phoenix who frowned. "He's our family he'd to anything for us" Phoenix stated shrugging her shoulders, Wednesday searched her eyes looking for anything, any sign that Phoenix wasn't going to say she was still upset.

"And I'm not helping because Im hanging out with Xavier and you don't need dead weight" Phoenix shrugged taking her hair down from the clip it has previously been in. Her hands finding themselves in her hoodie pockets.

"Apologize to thing and We'll talk" Enid stated with a smile and a wink, before going back to the boat, Wednesday shook her head staring down at the girl.

The brunette wasn't lying, she really did have to help Xavier, he needed to tell her something. He hadn't made it very clear of what he needed to talk with her about. Only sending a text saying to meet at their spot.

Her arms wrapped tightly around the hoodie, tugging it tighter around her frame, the cologne filling her nose and sending her into absolute bliss.

The boys hoodie made her feel something, she felt safe. She hadn't felt safe since her mother had tried to put her in a cage full of spiders so she'd get over the fear.

But, this boy, one boy who would break her heart in two if he pleased to. The shed doors were slightly cracked open. Pushing the door the rest of the way open Phoenix stopped, watching the long hair boy pace back and forth. "Angel?" Phoenix mentally smirked when she seen the boy freeze, a blush rising up his neck as he turned to face the girl.

He took long strides engulfing her into his arms. A smile on his face his head buried into her shoulder.

"Last night, when I couldn't sleep" Xavier started as he let go walking towards a canvas that had a tarp over it.

Nodding slowly with a puzzled face, Phoenix watched as his hands gripped the sheet before yanking it down. Behind the sheet was a monster than horrified the girl. The eyes seemed to stare right into her soul, it's claws were up covering half of its face and only half of its body was present.

Slowly walking towards the painting reaching out Xavier quickly pulled her back from behind her, his hands gripping her hips stopping her from getting closer. "I can't control this one" he mumbled into her ear as the two stared intently at the painting. "I can control my other drawings but this one" he trailed off, watching as Phoenix slowly nodded her head.

Poking his tongue into his cheek Xavier looked down to the brunette who was looking back up at him. "this is why you weren't sleeping?" Phoenix questioned looking back to the painting. Her eye brows furred together, before looking back to the boy who nodded slowly.

His hands still gripped her waist, as if it was his lifeline and if he let go he'd die. "I thought if I didn't sleep then maybe I wouldn't see it" he explained as the girl wrapped her arms around his torso. A frown on her face listening to what he was saying.

"No you need to sleep you'll go insane" the girl mumbled against his shirt, his head laying on top of hers, and Phoenix was sure this wasn't an ideal position for him. Surly it was straining his back. "We'll figure something out angel"
