The Endless Forever

Part 14

When I woke up at 9:38, Jordan was asleep on the floor, his hoodie back on. I moved carefully off his bed, not wanting to wake him. I wanted to examine him more. His face, not anything else.

I knelt down beside him. He was turned to face me, his hair flopping over his eyes. His cheeks were flushed from sleep and his hair was fluffed up and his hands were curled up into little balls near his mouth. He really looked like a little child.

I was so busy taking in his sleeping beauty that I hadnt noticed he had opened his right eye and was watching me quizically.

"What time is it?" He groaned sleepily. God his morning voice was so damn hot.

"9:41" I muttered. "Sorry, you look so peaceful when you sleep."

"Its ok." He croaked, pushing himself off the floor. "After you fell asleep I watched you as well. You look better asleep."

"Oh cheers."

"No, I mean you were smiling and sighing and you looked happy." He ruffled his hair back, pulling at the blue strands.

"Is anyone else up yet?" I stood up and tiptoed over to the door, opening it slowly. There was no movement from anywhere else in the house. "Quinn's not awake, thank lord. I suppose this is my chance to leave before he wakes up."

"No!" Jordan jumped up and pulled me away from the door, slamming it shut. I was confused; Why did it matter?

"But mum and dad will go ape if im not back soon." I pointed out, chewing my lip. "Then they'll get angry and hit me."

"They aren't your real parents Alexs, and if they lay a finger on you, Christofer and me will beat the living shit out of them."

"Christofer? Why?"

"He cares about you Alexs, you're like a little sister to him. Besides, Daniel is basically Christofer's best pal. He'd do anything for you."

Oh yeah. I forgot to mention that. Daniel had been joined at the hip with Christofer since I can remember. Well, until we got adopted and moved, but then the Raven family followed close behind and moved just down the street.

"Im pretty sure Daniel would help as well, he'd string Timothy up by his nut sack and beat him until he was see-through."

I giggled at the thought of my brother beating our fat adoptive father.

"His fists would just disappear into the rolls of fat." I laughed and Jordan smirked.

"Are you sure you want to go? Isn't Daniel supposed to be coming over today?"

"Fuck." I muttered. "I completely forgot. Hey! We should stay here and i'll call him to pick us up from your house, he can have a good old natter with Christofer about footie and what not, and after we could all go out for a bit. He's supposed to be taking me out to Nottingham today to go to the Blue Banana."

For you lot who dont know what the Blue Banana is, it's a goth shop. Countless band shirts and wrist bands and piercings and it's just the best.

"I dont want to put any pressure on Daniel.." Jordan sighed wistfully. "And besides, we'd have to take the train, right?"

"No, Daniel can drive. He's got a new car as well, a BMW, black one."

"Quinn won't come and mum won't either, so it'll be just us and Christofer and Daniel."

"Sounds good to me." I smiled.
