Once Steve was in the kitchen making the popcorn, I quickly took off my hat.
"Ugh, thank God he's gone." I said, massaging my cat ears. If I keep my hat on for too long, it starts to make my ears hurt.
"Darren did you know I have a tail too?" I asked Darren shyly, Darren didn't know that I was almost exactly like a cat.
"You have a tail too?!" Darren asked, surprised.
"Yeah i keep it wrapped up because my sister pulls on it, but I'm not there anymore so.." I said, turning around and lifting up my shirt to reveal my black cat tail.
"Dude! This is so cool!" Darren said, petting my tail. "So, do you have any other cat-like stuff?"
"Well yeah. I have sharp nails like cat claws-" "So thats why your nails are so sharp!" Darren laughed. "Yeah, I have cat like teeth, see." I said, opening my mouth to reveal small cat-like fangs.
"Wow.." Was all he said. "I also have a cat tongue." I said, sticking my tongue out. I grabbed Darren's hand and licked it so he could feel it.
"Feels like sand paper." He said and I blushed. "Hey, do you smell that?" I said sniffing the air.
"It smells like something burning." Darren said walking out of Steve's bedroom. I followed him and we both walked into the kitchen to see if the smell was coming from there.
Steve stood there with a towel over a pan of popcorn burning on fire!
"Steve what the heck happened?!" Darren yelled and ran over to help stop the fire.
"Heh, funny thing!," He said in a worried, embarrassing tone, "I don't really know how to pop popcorn! Heh!"
"Are you serious Steve?!" I said, and ran over to the sink to fill up a cup of water. "Yes babe, I'm serious!"
"Whatever!" I said, pushing Darren and Steve out of the way and put the fire out with water.
"Well guess that's it for popcorn, heh." Steve said, scratching his head. "Your what- 14 years old and you do't know how to pop popcorn?!" Darren said with a smile.
"Bout' to be 15!" Steve said, throwing his arm around Darren.
I thought to myself 'Why do I even hang out with these guys???'. Then I answered my question myself. 'Because they understand me. They listen to me. They don't beat me. The accept me. They.. love me.'
"You guys are such morons." I said, shacking my head and laughing.
"Come on!" Darren said, "You know you love us!" And grabbed my hand.
We walked back up into Steve's bedroom and put on the movie. "Beep! Beep!" Steve said as he put in the movie and presses play. 'Beep! Beep!' Is a quote from Stephen King's It.
"Aren't you going to say, Hello?" Darren said, as if he were Pennywise, and jumped on top of me. "We all float down here!" I said through giggles. Darren lifted up my shirt and blew into my stomach.
"I'm Pennywise the dancing clown! -pppppppfffffffffftttttt- I'm going to eat your guts out! -pppppffffffttttt-"
"No! Stop!" I said giggling. "I'll make you crazy, and I'll kill you all!" Steve said, jumping on the floor just above my face and tickled my neck.
"Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!" I said, trying to push them off. "Guys! Guys!" I said through giggles, pointing to the tv, "The movie is on!"
They both jumped off of me and hopped on the bed. "Coming gorgeous?" Steve asked and patted a spot in the middle of him and Darren. I rolled my eyes at the name Steve called me. "Whatever." I said and jumped in the middle of them.
"You killed my brother you sick b-b-b-bastard!" Steve said, and acted like he was crying. "Let's see you now." Darren said and sniffled as if he were crying.
"Ssshhhhh! Guys this is my favorite movie!" I said, and they quickly shut up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ sorry guys skipping a bit but just the movie part so we can get it over with. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Best. Movie. Ever." I said. stretching my arms out. I noticed that while the movie was on that I had leaned my head onto Darren's chest and that Steve was now asleep.
"Hey Darren, you awake?" I whispered in his ear. "Wide awake." he said smiling at me. Darren started to brush his fingers through my hair, I allowed him.
I was about to fall asleep until I noticed how loud Steve's snoring was. He was snoring so loud it almost made my ears bleed! "Jesus Christ, he sounds like an Ox." Darren whispered and put his arms around me.
"Church?" Darren looks at me. "Yeah?" I say. "Are you going to go back to your parents after tomorrow?" He asked in a worried tone. I shuddered at the question, My skin turned pale as snow, I really didn't know if I should go back to my parents, because if I do, they would just treat me horribly. But I had no other choice, I had nowhere else to go.
"Darren, if I could choose, I would never take a step in that house orby my family ever again... But I have no choice Darren.. I have nowhere else to go.." I said to him, starting to shed a tear.
"You could come live with me," he said looking deep into my eyes, "I know it sounds weird but I can't let you go back there." "Darren, I would if I could, but what would your parents say? What if my parents come looking for me?" I said, wiping away my tears.
"I don't care. If you go back there you'll get hurt." Darren said, leaning closer to my face.
"Darren, I'm sorry.." I said and started to cry in his chest. "It's ok, It's ok." Darren said and kissed my forehead. We both quickly fell asleep in each others arms. I loved this feeling, being in Darren's arms, I felt truly safe. Never wanting to let go.
