Day 21 (family?)

I woke up to see Brooks standing beside my bed. " What do you want Brooks?" I ask. " I'm just making sure.. You're safe. Nobody needs to come in here.. Like Elijah..." He said looking down." You mean Eli? And I'm fine." I get up and walk pass him to see all of our newcomers were in the kitchen talking." So we're having a group conversation?" I ask without hesitation. " We're just talking about where we are heading." Luke says as looks at "his" group. "Okay, I might not know all of you by heart but I think we should get to know one of each other.. and become one, will find other people to be in our group, I just think we should work together." They all look at me funny while I hear footsteps coming from behind me. "What's going on?" Ask Sierra and Jonah. "Everyone lets go to the porch outside, we need to all talk.. As a group." Luke says with a smile on his face as we walk to the porch. We all sit. "We know all of each other's names? Right" Wyatt asks. Yeah, I think in my mind. Wyatt is the blonde haired one with blue eyes, Connor is the brown headed one with green eyes and Shawn is also has brown hair, but with brown eyes.. And Luke, I'm guessing the leader, with red hair and brown eyes, and has a son, named Scott. Blondish/red head, with ice blue eyes. While I'm thinking all this it seems forever in my mind but it was just 2 seconds in real life, I replied with," yes, we know everyone." I smile and nod. " I think we could all become one, a group, a family, it just takes time. I think we should stay here awhile in till something "changes".. Then find your friend Claudia. Then head to D.C." Jonah replied with a quickness," Really? You would help us get her back, even if we have to fight?" Yeah, yes we will but if we do we have to leave my little boy here at the house. When this happens witch is very soon, who will watch em' for me. And the rest of us go?" I look around and I see Wyatt stand up." Well we are brothers and you know me more, I will." Lucas nods. "So uh, I'll make us Breakfast!" Luke says. "With what?" We all laugh. "The got some cereal!" We all laugh and nod ," No, no, no. But it's better than nothing!" Shawn said. As we eat with all of us at the same table, it felt that we were happy, but something was missing.. Claudia. While I was heading to bed I see Jonah, in his bed still up. "Hey, why you still up?" He sits up and says," I just really want her back... More than "my life". He said. "Hey don't say that, soon.. Soon will get her." "WHAT IF IT'S NOT IN TIME?" He yells but then in his eyes I could see the pain. "I..I don't know." He lays back down with more sorrow than I have seen. As I close the door, I say," It's okay." I walk to go to bed and I see Eli. He was just laying down. I walk in slowly to see him gazing at the stars. " You know the stars are beautiful right?" I say as I walk in. He chuckles. "Not as beautiful as you." He whispers. I smile and he turns to me as I sit on the bed and he looks at me, as I see the moonlight reflect in his eyes, I fall for him. "Thank you." He said. As I try to speak, he kisses me. I want to keep going but I stop. " Its too much, B will definitely get up!" I laugh as he kisses me more and I stand up and say," Goodnight, Eli." He smiles, and says," Night".
