I woke up with a start. Not again...shakily I crawled out of bed. I went to the window, the half moon stared back at me. I saw a flash back of the nightmare I just had and had to grab the wall to keep me from falling. It took me a few seconds to regain my balance and my hands were still shaking by the time I was able to walk around again. Maybe I need some water?
I pulled on a hoodie, since it was a little chilly in the house and started to walk down the dark hallway. I passed the ghostly shadows in the hallway until I found the stairs. Climbing down I tried to hear if mason was down stairs. I didn't hear any piano, so he's most likely in his room.
After I got a cup of water, I saw that the basement door was open and I could see light coming from down there-Art must be awake. I walked down the stairs and to where his door was.
"Art...?" I said as I open the door. He was laying on his bed with bags of chips and empty soda cans were scattered around the room.
"Hi" he said sitting up, running his hand through his hair. "What do you want?"
I stood there awkwardly for a second. "I saw you were up..." I tried to figure out what else to say. Art smiled a little.
"Don't hurt yourself, come on sit down" he said patting the spot next to him.
I sat down next to him crossing my legs indie style.
"What's up" I said trying to be friendly, by smiling.
Art groaned, "how can you stand it here?" He asked.
I looked down, "its not that bad, schools worst" Art looked up.
"What's wrong with school?" He said.
I laughed a like a laid down on my back looking at the ceiling. "What's not?"
"What do you mean?"
"The normal lonely kid junk, bullying, no friends, that junk..." I said and sighed.
"I'm sorry about that." Art said laying down next to me on his side. We were quiet for a bit, but it wasn't a awkward silence, but a nice one.
"Oh, I almost forgot to ask" art started, "why are you up so late?" He said looking at the clock.
I went a little red..." Its a little embarrassing, but I had a nightmare, I get them a lot" Art smiled.
"Don't worry its cute"
"What?" I said surprised.
"Its nothing, now came on I know what will help" he said and got up. He ran put up the stairs, by the time i got up the stairs, he was now by mason's car.
"A ride should help you clear your thoughts" he said. I was a little uneasy.
"But....thats mason's car, his baby"
"Don't worry, if anything happens, I'll take the blame" He said.i stood there thinking about it until I came to a conclusion...
"Fuck it." I said jumping into the car.
