Switched Out

Ch. 13.5

**Thanks @crazysocks122 for the suggestions. I love it when people do it. I'd like my stories to be the best they can be.**

*Nathan*

She had been talking to what was now her brothers, then she turned to me. Pushing past her brothers to stand in front of me, her face got pinker. I could tell she was abit nervous, but I knew there was still secrets in her. “I’m glad I have you, too. You’d think I’d leave you out.” She grinned at me.

I smiled back, “Nope. I knew you needed to talk to them, first.” I looked away from her because of my next sentence, “Family always comes first.”

She tilted her head to see my face, “I’m saying this because I like you and I care. Your mother needs to get her head on straight.”

I grinned at her, even though I wanted to laugh, as things go, Storm was right on that. I pulled her to me, hoping she wouldn’t shake like she had by the river.

I put my chin on her shoulder, so it was level with her ear, “I more than like you.” I thought I might of said something wrong as she passed out in my arms.

I didn’t allow her to fall, “I’m sorry. Storm?” She was still breathing. “I didn't mean for her to passout.”

Jason grinned, “I know. She’s most likely had a long day.” I picked her up and cradle her in my arms.

I asked them, “What room?”

Lucas smiled, “We’ll show you.” It was the one farthest on the left.

Jason opened the for him. Lucas went in to pull my blankets down, so he’d just have to lay her down. Nathan covers her.

Lucas said, “There’s an extra room across the hall, if you want to stay the night. By the way Storm sounded about your mother, I think it’s be okay.”

He nodded, “Is it okay, if I sit with her for awhile?”

Jason interjects before the other dude got in a word, “Yes. She only has the gamer chair, but it’s okay.” Lucas stared at his husband, then sighed.

After he turned to me, “Tell us if something happens, okay?”

I nodded and they left the room. I went over to where the chair was, which was next to the dresser with her T.V. and with that dust, it didn’t looked very used. I turned it around and pulled it next to the bed.

I sat in the chair. It was the most uncomfortable thing I ever sat in. I tried to get comfortable for several minutes, and gave up.

I breathed out in frustration as turned my head to Storm, who now was on her side. Sleeping peacefully, I assumed her side was her most comfortable position as it was with most people.

I placed my hand on her’s, and out of no where, she pulled my whole arm closer to her body. I had to lean over the bed. I rested my other arm under my head, and turned my face toward her sleeping face.

I continued what I was going to say, “I love you for being able to live by just being you. Whether you look male or female. It seems you make it work. I wish I could tell you this awake, I’m not sure how.” I rubbed her closest hand with my thumb of the hand she had. “You are one of the most resilient people I’ve ever met.” I stopped my thumb and looked away. “I wish we could be more,” as my last few words came out to a whisper, I drifted off to sleep.
