Childhood Best-Friends

Chapter 19

I thought this song would suit this chapter

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once everyone got home we all packed a bag (I also packed Scottie's since he was still on bedrest) and loaded them all into the car well it wasn't really a car in the first place but instead a small bus that holds 10 people, we also have a seven seater but we decided that it would be best if we just took the bus "alright is everyone in and seat belts on" Scottie asked as he sat in the driver's seat, everyone nodded so Scottie started up the car. Scottie and I were both glad that the drive back to our houses wasn't that long because all the others did was argue. When we got packed into the bus it ended up being me in passenger seat next to Scottie, there was two seats behind Scottie's seat that held Wayde and Layton while Nessa was sat behind me with a gap in the middle, the seats behind Wayde and Layton's held Cruz and Travis while there was no-one behind Nessa in the single seat because Brody and Evie wanted the last two seats at the very back next to all of the bags.

--------------------------------------------------

I think everyone was glad when dinner was finished, Evie and Travis, Cruz, Evie and Brody's parents all went home around 11 and then everyone else split, Evie and Travis went into one of the spare rooms in my house while Brody and Cruz went into one of the spare rooms in Scottie's house and shortly after everyone with Wayde, Nessa, Layton, Scottie and I in our old rooms. The only problem was the fact that even though those boys from the orphanage are locked up it doesn't help my nightmare. I sit up startled with the nightmare I just escaped from and looked around the room, instead of going outside like I did the last time when it was my first night at Scottie's house, I went across to Wayde's room and opened the door and looked in finding Wayde on the right side of the bed (the side closest to the door, where I'm standing), I close the door behind me and tip-toe to the bed where my twin lays and softly shake his shoulder since he's lying on his back with one arm thrown across his stomach and the other behind his head "huh... shorty, what are you doing here at..." he trailed off looking over at the alarm clock "...2 in the morning" he added turning to look back at me

"I had a nightmare about those boys and because Scottie's next door and it's freezing outside, I thought I would come to you" I replied

"Come here" he answered, I walked to the other side of the bed and climbed in then moved over so I was closer to him, he wrapped his left arm around me and pulled me closer to his side making me curl up against him, I fell into a peaceful sleeping night from then on.

-----------------------------------------------------------

When I woke the next time it was 8 o-clock in the morning and the only reason I woke up was because someone was running up and down the hall opening then slamming doors while yelling, Wayde groaned and rolled over since we were both in the middle so know he was almost off the side of the bed "Shorty, go to your boyfriend, just make him shut the hell up before I do" he growled then dug himself deeper into his pillow, I got up out of the bed and went to the door and opened it to find everyone else in the hallway but when they saw me they look relieved

"Where the hell have you been, Scottie's been going mad looking for you when he looked in your room to find you gone" Nessa said

"I had a nightmare during the night so I went and stayed with Wayde for the rest of the night" I told them "he's stupid for not going to my twins room after finding me not in mine" I murmured more to myself then turned to Layton and Nessa "where is he know" I asked, they all pointed downstairs so I guess they mean the lounge, I walked downstairs and turned into the lounge room to the left and found Scottie in the middle of the room pacing and murmuring to himself "you know the smart thing that you did wrong was checking my twins room before trying to destroy the house" I said, he turned at the sound of my voice and in less than a second he was already in front of me with his hands on my shoulders

"You shush, that was the only place I didn't check" he said then added: "why didn't you come to me"

"Um did you go outside at 2am this morning" he shook his head "well if you did then you would know that it was freezing, otherwise I would have come to you straight away" I said

"Well I'm glad you went to Wayde, at least I know he'll protect you" he said

"Hey, is that your way of saying that me or Nessa can't look after her" Layton said coming down the stairs then stopping in the doorway of the lounge along with Nessa, Evie, Travis but still no Wayde

"you can't be serious that my twin is still asleep after all of this" I told them hopping that he was hiding behind them but all they did was smile and nod "alright I'll be right back" I told them leaving Scottie a kiss on the cheek before running upstairs and back into Wayde's bedroom, I did a running start then jumped and landed on him on the bed to which he groaned

"Shorty go away, I want to sleep in, we don't have any glasses, go away" he said

"Too bad, get up and get dressed" I told him before jumping up and going back downstairs to the lounge room again, I found everyone in there including both sets of parents except we were missing Scottie "hey where's Scottie" I asked them

"He went into the kitchen getting a drink" Layton said but before I could move all I could see was black and fear consuming me like the walls were closing in on me, in the background I heard someone faintly yelling:

"Scottie, get in here, now", I looked around the room but all I could see was black and maybe a touch or other colours but not a lot

"Snow, calm down and close your eyes" I heard someone, I shake my head to afraid to answer "Snow, nothing will happen, close your eyes and listen to me" this guy said again, I did as he said and closed my eyes and kept my hears open for him to continue "you remember the day we first met Snow, you were so shy that the only word you said was bye and before that all you did was shake your head or nod at me, when your calm open your eyes again" he said, I opened my eyes to find my whole family sitting on the couches watching us but most importantly Scottie sitting in front of me looking at me with worry clear in his eyes as he continued to starr at me

"I love you, thank you" I told him as I wrapped my arms around his neck pulling him closer to me, his arms went around my waist and kept me close and didn't let me go instead sat down next to me and stayed there as Nessa put a movie on.
