Ch 12-

"Umm hey, Alex?" I heard as I was warming up cans of ravioli

"Yea?"

"Where am I gonna sleep?"

"Umm... Take the guest room."

"Alright. And Alex?"

"Yes Carter?"

"Can we go to the mall tomorrow? I kinda have like no clothes."

"What? how do you not have clothes? Nevermind. Yea we can go to the mall."

"Cool. Thanks bro." I hear as he was walking upstairs. "So what's for dinner? I'm starving!"

"I'm glad you asked. we are having Alex's famous...." Carter starts a drum roll on the table "Warmed up cans of ravioli!!

"Sweet. You remembered my favorite food!"

"Duhh Jenkins!! How could I forget. That's like all you ever ate when we were kids!"

"Hah. Yea. Back in the day, Good times... I really missed you guys. We should go to the skatepark tomorrow."

I don't think that's a good idea... "Umm yea. We can totally go to the skatepark tomorrow." Urghh why did I say that!?

"Awesome! Wait. Lets go to the mall before we go to the skatepark.?"

"Yea. sounds good." I say taking the ravioli out of the microwave "Here's your can, and here's mine. Lets eat!!"

*><><><><><><><><><><><><><*

"Alex...?" I faintly hear as I'm laying in bed asleep.

"Hey Alex?" I guess its not my dream. I turn around to see who it is.

"Carter, its like 2 in the morning what could you possibly need?"

"Umm.. Can I sleep in here tonight?"

"Are you kidding me. Dude your 17 years old. what could you possibly be afraid of?" I scolded him "Wait a minute... Carter are you still having those dreams?"

"Umm.... No" he protested.

"Fine, then go back to your room."

"Okay yes.... I am.. But don't tell anyone."

"Fine. You can sleep with me."

"Thanks."

"Yep."

And Carter jumps into my bed.

*><><><><><><><><><><><><><*

"ALEX!!!!" that voice. I know who it is

"Huh" I moan

"Why the hell is there a shirtless boy in your bed!!??"

Oh shit. I jump up, and Carter's arm is around my waist. He has always done that to me.

"Mom its not what it looks like."

Just then Carter wakes up and looks around the room

"Oh hey Ma!" he sleepily says with a grin

"Carter?" my mom says in disbelief

"See mom I told you it wasn't what it looks like."

"Yea. umm this wasn't.... we aren't... you know-"

"Its okay Carter. I understand." my mom smiles

"Good. now since that's over. What's for breakfeast?" I said happily yet sleepily to my mom "How about pancakes? will you make us pancakes?"

"Okay. well you two get ready, and we can catch up during breakfast."

"Okay bye ma." Carter and I say in unison as she closes the door.

*><><><><><><><><><><><><><*

"Carter. I thought you had money. isn't that why I'm at the mall with you?"

"Sorry Alex. I thought you might buy me a couple of shirts."

"Well. I'm kinda broke."

"Maybe Ryan will buy me something."

"How about you get a job?"

"That's a no."

"Still as lazy as you were when we were younger."

"You know it.! And Alex? do you have like any money?"

"Carter I have like 50 dollars."

"Well Al, I have like 0 dollars. Can you buy me a pair of black jeans and then we can go to Walmart and get me a pack of black t-shirts and boxers?"

"Fine Carter. But the jeans will cost like 25 dollars and with the boxers and t-shirts, I'm gonna have 10 or 15 dollars left."

"Thank you Al. Your the best."

"I know."
