Chapter 3

Chapter 3

*Claire's P.O.V.*

We're currently at Patrick's house and all of us are in front of a laptop except for Patrick who's sleeping while leaning on my shoulder. We're still trying to search for the other people who survived the falling meteor incident, but it seems that their records are hidden now.

I sighed and closed my laptop, I can't believe that we're doing something like this at 3AM. All of us have had difficulties in sleeping, it's lucky that Patrick fell asleep, but to be honest, his body just shut down. I can sense the stress in our bodies, maybe that's one of my powers now. I stared at my friends, they all look so problematic while staring at their laptop screens.

"We need to take a break." I told them. "The more we stress ourselves, the less productive we may be. Besides, it's fucking New Year! Might as well enjoy it." I added with a smile, I can now feel the cheerful vibe radiating around me.

"She's right...we're still all human, it wouldn't hurt us to have fun." Pete said, smiling for the first time today.

"And also, I'm so hungry." Andy said in agreement.

Suddenly, the fireplace lit up by itself and we're already landing our stares at Joe, who kept on staring at the fire.

"Joe...we told you to not use your powers too much." I told him in worry.

"I had to, so I can control it, He said with a reassuring smile.

"But that's not what we're worried about, it's about your eyesight." Andy told him.

"I'm fine guys, besides, it's just a small fire. I won't over use it." He said.

Silence temporarily took over and I found myself staring at Patrick who's still peacefully sleeping on my shoulder. He's the most stressed among us, he can't really control his worry towards us and also he's been thinking about his power. So far, all we know is that he has this invisibility powers that saved us the other day, but we still don't know the catch for his power and to be honest, we're not sure about his power just yet.

Patrick slightly moved and I just smiled at him. He and I really have this unspoken connection between us, I know we see each other as more than best friends, but we never really confessed it to each other. The others also can see this too, we're like a couple...but not official, but I really don't mind that. All that matters is that I'm with him and these dorky guys also.

I gently put my palm over his cheeks and decided to pass over some of my energy to him, I found out I can do that yesterday, but they don't know yet. I'm all out the healing person in the team...just like a support role in an MMORPG game.

"Hmm." Patrick moved and he caught my hand on his cheeks, he might have felt it's warmth too. "What are you doing?" he asked in a sleepy voice.

"Nothing, just checking out if you're still alive, idiot." I teased him. Patrick didn't let go of my hand in there.

"So, are we gonna go out or we're going to watch you two get cheesy in there?" Joe asked with a laugh and I playfully tossed a pillow at him.

"Wake up, Pattycakes, we're going out." I tapped Patrick's cheeks and I stood up. He looked like he still want to sleep, but I feel like he's hungry too so he just fixed himself and soon enough, the five of us are heading out...just like we used too.

"Is it just me or this pizza became tastier?!" Pete said and we laughed at him. We're currently eating at this 24-hour pizza parlor and we're the only ones eating in there right now.
