I slowly open my eyes to be blinded by bright light.When I adjust to it, I realize that's a lamp hanging from a ceiling in a hospital room.There's also some annoying biep-sound next to me.

And maybe it's just a mirage but Jesus is sitting on a chair next to me.He's asleep while holding my hand.

I tried to remember why I'm in a hospital and what exactly happened.All I remember is going to a party and Jesus giving me a piggy-back ride, although I'm not sure if that really happened.

He's pretty cute with is curly mess of hair and these chocolate eyes.Wait..I should definitely wake him up.

I take my hand out of his grip and stroke a strand of hair out of his face.This makes him stir and open his eyes.When he sees that I'm the one who woke him up, he smiles bright and whispers my name.

"What happened?" I ask him desperately.

"The short story would be that you got drunk, I took you to my place and you fell down the stairs." Jesus explains to me.

"Wow, that sounds bad." I laugh slightly.

"Nah, it's alright.You can leave the hospital by tomorrow." He says smiling at me "You're quite interesting when you're drunk..."

"Oh no!What did I do?!" I groan.Shit he's probably scared for a lifetime but then..why is he still here?

Suddenly there's a knock on the door and after Jesus says 'Yes', Mike, AJ and a doctor walk in.

Jesus leaves after giving my hand a little squeeze and me a sweet smile.

The doctor makes sure I'm okay and talks about some medical stuff I don't understand.Afterwards he leaves too and Mike and AJ take a seat besides my bed.

"How are you?" AJ asks concerned.

"Fine I guess." I answer tired.

"AJ told me about your home and I've been thinking about...maybe you wanna stay with AJ and you could stay at our place?" Mike says struggling with the right words.

"That's sounds awesome." I tell them honestly.

"Alright, that's cool.I'll go call the management of the orphanage immediately then." He says standing up and walking out of the room.

AJ and I smile at each other.

"He's great, isn't he?" AJ states.

"Yeah, almost as great as you are!" I reply.

"Ouch, that hurts!" He laughs but then gets serious"Jesus told me about the party and your talk."

"And why does that matter to you?" I say angry that he has to interfere.

"Because I'm your brother." AJ answers calmly.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><>

"Okay so since our apartment only has two bedrooms someone has to share and AJ convinced me that you and him are okay with sleeping in the same room.Are you okay with it?" Mike asks as we are standing in kitchen of his apartment.They just let me out of the hospital today, which is Saturday and I haven't seen Jesus since I woke up so I'd love to meet him again.

"Yeah, I'm okay with it." I reply honestly.

"I could also share with AJ and you would have your own ro-" Mike insists but I interrupt him.

"No, I'm perfectly fine with sharing a room with AJ but thanks for your effort."

<><><><><><><><><><><><><>

"Hey AJ, where does Jesus live again?I would like to say thanks again." I ask him as we're sitting in our room.

"Oh Sky, you have a crush on him already!" AJ says laughing.

"No, I don't!" I exclaim.

"Don't even try it, I just know you to good!" AJ laughs.

"Pfff, whatever!" I say snotnosed.

"It's 2330 E,1st Street." AJ tells me after a long time of silence.

"Thanks." I reply.

Then I put on my shoes and my jacket, grab my phone with it's navigation system and make my way to 2330 E,1st Street.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><>

After half an hour I'm finally staying in front of the beautiful brown house I've already admired the first time I saw AJ again.It's just looks like a home for everybody who wants it to be his home.

I'm kind of nervous though.What if I did something really bad the night I was drunk and Jesus literally hates me.But then, why was he holding my hand?Oh shit.

I walk to the door shaky and slowly raise my hand to the doorbell.Just one easy knock.

I have to by on my lip so that I won't run away.I can hear somebody right behind the door and then it opens.It's just Marianna.

"Oh, hey, is..ähh..Jesus here?" I ask her.

"No, he isn't." Marianna replies kind of rude.

"Okay, then I'll just go again.Thanks though." I say awkward.

"Yeah, bye." She says and I walk away.I almost reach the street again as I hear her sigh.

"Your jacket is cool!" She shouts after me.I turn around again and look at her confused.

"I'm sorry for being mean.I don't have anything to do so we could hang out if you want to?" Marianna asks hopefully.

"Sure!" I tell her since I don't have anything better to do and I'd like to get to know her too.

Marianna and I had an amazing afternoon.We gossiped, painted our nails and Marianna told me how she and Jesus got adopted.She's quite a talkative person but I think that's why we get along so well.I hope she feels the same way because for me she's like a cousin.

Merry little Christmas to all my lovely readers!I hope you have a great time with your families and always stay true to yourself and never let anybody stop you from doing what you love!
