Dusk

Chapter 6

I leaned against the wall hours later and sat across from my parents who had come in to fret over tucker. This was the thing. Tucker wasn't just a brother to me but a second son to my parents. I never got jealous because well they were my parents and I knew that they always loved me but I also knew tucker loved the attention he got from them because he'd hadn't gotten that for awhile. Living with his aunt was brutal and coming over my house was like an escape to paradise for him.

I held his hand and listened to my mom ask him of he needed anything and felt his temperature her eye clouded with tears. Tucker smiled up at my mom faintly saying he was fine. "Nelly he's okay." My dad Andrew says even though he was touching the top of Tucker's head every couple mintues probably to make sure he wouldn't disappear anywhere.

My mom sniffles and touches Tucker's cheek once more. "Okay, well we have to go now I was on my break when I called Andrew to tell him to meet me at the hospital." My mom explains and Tucker nods. "That's okay.' He says sitting up and grabbing his eye patch from the side table covering the fresh gauze over his left eye they had replaced the gauze while he was here.

My mom bites her lip. That's where I had gotten the habit from. Both me and my mom bit are lips when we were nervous. "Tucker, me and Andrew where thinking, i... well that maybe you could come live with us for awhile.' She says finally and holds her breath and Tucker's good eye widens. "Really?" He whispers and she nods with a firm smile and he nods so fast you'd think his head would pop off. "I would have to ask my aunt but I'm sure she wouldn't mind." He says excitedly and my mom squeals excitedly and kisses his cheek. Then leans over his bed Kissing my forehead.

"Perfect, seeya at home boys!" She says and drags my dad out of there like an excited little girl that just got candy. I squeeze Tucker's hand and he squeezes back looking at me. "I'm sorry evan." He finally murmurs and I look at him. "You have nothing to be sorry about." I say confused and he takes my hand pressing it against his cheek. "For pushing you away, for blaming you for something that wasn't your fault." He says a huge tear falling from his eye am I wipe it away realizing he's been avoiding me this whole time because he blamed me for taking him there.

I smile at him faintly. "Tucker, your like my brother. You know ill always protect you right?" I whisper and tucker nods through his tears and climb I his bed and pull him to my chest as his body shakes. "Erik told me." He whispers after what felt like hours of crying and I cup his face in my hands tilting it up. "And are you okay with that?"I ask faintly and tucker shakes his head laying it against my chest. "Honestly I don't know, I love him, and I know it weird after what he did but...I can't help it I really can't...."

"Its okay." I murmured. "It's just... im so scared." Tucker admits. "I'm so scared Of loving him Ecspecially now that I know he's a...werewolf." He chokes on the last word. I squeeze him to my side. "I know it's a little crazy but love is love even if he is a dog with anger issues." I say still a little mad at erik for bringing tucker into this. Tucker lips twitch and I look At him and sees he's staring at me weirdly.

"What?" I ask slowly and he jut smiles. 'Love you Evan." He finally murmurs resting his head I my shoulder dozing off. I sigh and rest my chin on his head thoughts wondering to justin. He had left with Erik to get a change of clothes for tucker. I missed him already.

Sighing I slid out of Tucker's bed an looked out the window in his room. He had a nice. View of the whole town from here. I started to sing to myself. "A drop in the ocean, a change in the weather, I was praying that you an me might end up together, it's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert, cuz I'm holding you closer then most, cuz you are my heaven." I sing softly propping my elbows against the window ceil.

"I wish I could just tell him how much I loved him. I know he knows I love him but I would do anything for him." I heard and leaned out the window seeing Erik talking to Justin outside. Justin agrees. "Same for Evan, I wanna do something special or him." "What's more special then losing the big V card." Erik declares and I see Justin's mouth drop open contemplating it and I blush closing the window fast embarrassment dawning on me as I realized he had just told Justin to seduce me.

I sit down on the floor watching tucker sleep and Justin and Erik came I a couple minutes later.

'Hi," I squeaked then cleared my throat 'I mean hey.' I murmur and Justin raises an eyebrow at me. "Can we talk privately?" and I nod red faced and follow him into the hallway.

"I wanna take you out in a real date." He says finally and I suddenly feel giddy with excitement but quickly calm myself down. I was no girl I wasn't gonna start bouncing on my toes or squeal. I nod not trusting myself to speak and Justin grins an strokes my cheek once who're headin inside again.

Once he was back inside the hospital room I span around in circles fist pounding the air and crumping. I was so excited. "Oh yea, uh huh, look at me, going on a date." I sang swaying my hips an karate chopping the wall. I saw the door open and blushed seeing justin raise and eyebrow at me. "Don't forget I can hear everything." he said trying not to laugh and I blush even redder and grimace. He just pulls me Into his chest placing a giant kiss on my lips and I chuckle going past him to lean against the wall.

Oh yes. Justin was mine as we were long on a date tomorrow. I continued my happy dance in my head and watched cars go by out the window all the while feeling Justin's eyes on me... Which made me feel great.
