“Okay, I guess I could spend the night." I said. He beamed at me.
“Great!" He sat down beside me, looking at me expectantly. I was confuzzled (a mix between confused and puzzled :-D)
“What do you want from me?" I asked, scooting away from him on the couch.
“Tell me about yourself." He urged, scooting right back next to me.
“You go first." I insisted. I was still uncomfortable talking about my history with him. He still needed to earn my trust.
“Well, my name is Reuben, as you know, and I'm 19 years old. My dad is dead and gone due to a freak lightning storm." An emotion crossed his face, but it was gone as soon as I blinked, leaving me no chance to read it.
“And my mom travels for work. I'm in college and I'm currently living with my roommate Everett-" My muscles tensed up, and my lips formed a grim line.
“Your roommate is who?"
“Everett. Everett Tucker."
Painful memories came rushing back to me, and I flashed back to the day he loved me, the day he left me, the day he abandoned me. I couldn't stand the heart ache that overwhelmed me like a kick in the gut.
