Johnnie's POV

Alex just called her parents. They said that she could stay. Yes. I love spending more time with Alex. I think that I could say that she was my best friend, but that's something we should discuss first.

Thirty minutes after, my brother got home. Shit. I forgot about him. I don't want Alex to have dinner with that asshole. He came alone, thankfully. I didn't want Avril to join. It's already painful that Bryan has to be there.

Bryan came to the living room and he had a surprised look on his face.

- Yo, who's this?- he asked me looking at Alex.

- Hm... This is Alex, a friend of mine. - I answered.

Alex smiled at Bryan, maybe because she didn't know how he was.

They both said "hello" to each other.

- Johnnie, can I talk to you? In private?- he asked with a smirk.

- You don't mind Alex?- I asked worried.

- Of course not. I'll help your mother in the kitchen. - she answeard with the usual smile.

Alex left the room and Bryan walked closer to me.

- So, how did a bastard like you got a hottie like that?- he asked me.

- Bryan, if you hit on her I'll fucking kill you. Did you hear me?!

- Alright. - he laughed - But if you take too long to get that, I'll get it for myself.

With those words he left the room. How could he? If he touches just even a little of her hair I won't be able to handle it. I'll go nuts. I need to keep him away from her. Even though Bryan and Avril are in a relationship, they still have sex with other people, there for, I need to keep both of my eyes on him.

Alex's POV

- What a divine smell Mrs Guilbert. - I said entering the kitchen.

- Oh, thank you dear. It's my special recipe. It's a mixture of vegetables with soy sauce and potatoes.

- It sounds as delicious as it smells.- I paused for just a second. - Is there anything I can do to help?
- Oh my dear, do not worry. Everything's already cooking and, you're my guest. Guests don't have to work.- she said smiling.

She checked the oven and then sat in one of the chairs.

- You can sit if you want.

I nodded and sat next to her.

- I'm so happy that Johnnie made a friend... It has been years since he had one. He seems so happy when you're around.- she told me as she started to cry.- You are like a ray of light who illuminated his life. There was nothing we could do to help him out, but you, you simply appeared in his life and you made everything better. For that I'm thankful.

She hugged me tightly. The tears kept falling from her eyes. There was no doubt that what she told me was real.

She whipped the tears from her eyes and face, trying to stop crying. She gave me a weak smile. O replied with another smile.

Moments after we heard the kitchen door opening. We both looked and saw Johnnie getting in. I observed him closely, his eyes were different. I think that something happen between him and his brother, but what could it be? He never talked about his brother, so I had no way to try and figure it out.

- Hey mom, do you know when is dinner ready?- he asked.

- Just about 10 to 15 minutes honey. And, would you mind setting the table?

Johnnie nodded. He started to take everything out. I got up and started helping him. We grabbed everything and made our way to the dinning room, wich was in the same room as the living room.

We started to put things in place.

-So, what were you and my mom talking about? - he asked me as he leaned me a plate.

-Nothing much... She just asked me a couple things about me.

I know I shouldn't lie to him, but I don't think that his mother would want him to know all that she said to me.

We didn't say anything else until we finished our task. We got back to the kitchen. Dinner was ready and me and Johnnie took the meal to the table. The three of us sat down, but not Bryan.
It was a quite a big table. It was made for about six or eight people. Johnnie's mother sat down randomly in one of the chairs. I didn't know where I was going to sit until Johnnie grabbed my hand and guide me to the chair opposite to his mother. He pulled the chair for me and I sat as I whispered the word 'thanks'. Finally he sat down next to me.

We waited a few minutes until, finally, he came down to join us. Bryan sat on the chair next to his mother, if front of Johnnie.

All of us were eating minutes after. I took my first bite and it tasted like heaven. The mixture between the potatoes, the sauce and the others vegetables was divine. I wish I knew how to cook like that, but instead, I know how to cook mac n' cheese. That's something right?

- It's very good Mrs Guilbert. - I told her delightful.

- Thank you dear. At least someone compliments my food. - she told her kids in a funny tone.

Every laughed at Mrs Guilbert joke. Johnnie then gave up and complimented her food. But Bryan did nothing, he simply kept eating. He was very mysterious.

[...]

Dinner was over and the kitchen was cleaned. It was about nine thirty and I decided that it was time to go home.

- Hey Johnnie, I'm going home now if you don't mind.

- Already? - he asked. I nodded - Alright then. I'll take you home.

- Johnnie it's not far. I'll be there in ten minutes.

- I'm taking you anyway... - he told me with a goofy smile.

I finally let him take me home. I said goodbye to his mom and grabbed my backpack. Five minutes later we were outside the house.

Just like I told him, we got there in ten minutes. We were already at the front door.

- So, I'll see you tomorrow. - I said, look it at the floor.

He didn't answer. He took a few steps in my direction and wrapped his arms around me.

- Thanks for staying with me today.

- Anytime you what, kiddo. - I answered looking up to him.

I hugged him back for several seconds. We finally let go of each other and said our goodbyes. I got in the house. I closed the door and secretly observed for the window.

He stod there, looking at the door. I wonder what he was thinking about... A minute later he turned around and made his way back home.

Note: Heyo.
I hope you liked this chapter. I'm trying to make them about 1K words now... I think they get more interesting than the 400 ones.
