Chapter 26: Who Are You

"Move!" I said pushing my uncle out of the way in order to get to the cookie jar being a little brat."Whoa there, where's the fire?" He said picking me up and then putting me on his hip.

"No fire, I just want a cookie." I said trying to reach the cookie jar, but was barely out of reach. "See if you did that down south someone would bop you right in the nose." He said and poked my nose and made me giggle. "No they won't cause I'll kick their butt!"

He chuckled at my little voice and confidence. "Really? Because the other day you were crying just because mom went to the store. Then I seen you playing with a little doll. So...which are you? nice and giggly or tough and kick ass? Huh? WHO are you?" He asked me and I just looked at him with my big blue eyes. It kinda hurt my head a bit too think. Who am I? I waited a bit and made a decision.

"I wanna be kick ass!" I yelled and it brought a smile to my uncles face. "So you'll be my little tomboy? No dollies just baseball bats and knives, right?" He asked me.

"Right! Now give me my damn cookie!" I demanded and folded my little arms together. "That's my girl!" My uncle said and he reached into the cookie jar and treated me with a sweet. "Remember. Don't let no one push you around, got it?" He said and put me down on the floor as I bit into my cookie and I looked up at him and nodded.

I woke up on my bed with a massive headache. Oh god. The room seemed to spin around me as I laid there and my brain pound against my skull as if it was to bust at any moment. The pain was coming from the front right side of my head.

Who am I?

What? But who? A wave of pain hit my head and seemed to go around the rest of my body. I propped myself up on my bed and stubbled trying to stand up right. Maybe there's something in the medicine cabinet that can help.

I looked at my watch the numbers were blurry and everything seemed slow to me. I made out some numbers and the hour hand and it was some where around 2 in the morning. Tears began to fill my eyes from the pain I was experiencing. I hate feeling things, like pain. This was why avoid feelings and why I hide my feelings from... Another wave of pain went off in my head. I can't even think because of this mother fucking headache! AH!!

WHO are you?

Who keeps saying that?!? I looked around the hall way and it was only me standing in the dark. I'm going crazy... I know it. I continued to walk like I was drunk all the way to the kitchen when I trip over my own feet and fell to the ground landing on my hands and knees. I sat there with tears rolling down my face.

"What's g-going on?" I whispered to myself as I wiped a tear away that was sliding down my chin. Another pain wave went off. I can't take much more of this.

"Tomboy?" A voice said from behind me.

I looked towards the door way, but I could only see their feet which were blurry and one after the other walked towards me.

-----vanoss' point of view-----

I thought I heard something in the kitchen, so I decided to get out of bed and check it out. I walked quitely towards the kitchen with my knife in my hand ready to slice at the intruder. I was beside the door that lead into the kitchen and quickly turn around only too see tomboy on her knees while holding her stomach and looking down at the floor.

"Tomboy?" I said in confusion of why she was up at 3 in the morning. Especially on the floor of the kitchen.

She looked over at me, but not at my face. She had tears in her eyes and it looked like she was going to pass out right on the floor. I went over to her side and got down on my knees and laid a hand on her back.

"Tomboy?! Are you alright?" I asked as my voice cracked from how fast I said it.

She sat there and more tears just came rolling out of her eyes and she shook her head no slowly. Looking at her made my heart brake a little and I want to help her so bad, but I don't know what to do!!

"Whats wrong??" I asked frantically searching her body making sure she wasn't hurt, but there wasn't any cuts no blood. Nothing.

She continued, sobbing and holding herself on the floor. I felt so bad for her and all I want to do is hold her, but I can't! Uhg. Fuck it. I placed my hands on her face and wiped a tear away with my thumb. Her eyes were red, and her head felt oddly hot.

"I want to help you, but if you don't tell me what's wrong then I can't." I whispered looking into her eyes and she was looking back into mine.

She suddenly wrapped her arms around my neck and hugged me. She hugged me first! Ha! Calm down Evan don't wanna show any feelings. I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her in tight. Her head was still down  resting it on my chest. God I kinda forgot I was in my boxers.

"T-thanks Evan." She whispered between sobs and tiredness be found in her voice.

I scooped her up in my arms bridal style. Her arms wrapped around my neck and she tensed up a bit. I hope I'm not hurting her. I walked into the living room and sat down carefully on the couch and she was on my lap. She turned around and wrapped her legs around my waist. I didn't know what she was doing and my arms just fell to my sides and let her do what she wants.

She sat on my lap with her legs around my torso, her arms around my neck with her head against my chest. She actually looked like she was starting to calm down. My stomach began to feel weird. What? Why am I getting butterflies?! I'm a fucking grown man! I looked at my watch, about 3:30 am. I might as well sleep.

I laid my head back on the couch and closed my eyes and began to drift into sleep.
