A Night [In Just One Night So Much Can Change]

Chapter 3

He takes a small amount of time to decide.
If he should introduce everyone.

"Um... nope." He says

"Seriously you're just going to leave me in the dark again?" I ask

"Yes."

"Well can I least get a nickname of some sort?" I ask

"Maybe."

"Please." I beg

"Fine."

Silence

"Just give her the first letter of your name. That should be enough for her."

"J." One guy says

"L." Another says

"Jo." Another says

"D." Another says

"Can I give her something fun to call me?" One asks

"Why not."

"Call me Stuart." The same guy says in all seriousness

All of the guys break out in a spurt of laughter. And I crack a little laugh.

"Why?" I ask

"Because why not." He says

"Okay." I say

Silence

"Now. Mystery man, are you going to give me something to call you?" I ask

He thinks.

"Call me. Duck." He laughs

"What in the world." I say

"Call me duck." He says with all seriousness

"Okay Duck." I say

"So we have. J, L, Jo, D, Stuart and Duck." I say while pointing to the person the name corresponds too.

"Right." Stuart says

"So what can we call you?" Jo asks

"Well since I don't care about 'protecting my identity'." I say

Duck laughs

"I'll just give you a bit of information on myself." I finish

"Okay." L says

"My name is Clarissa Hope. But you can call me Clary. And I'm 16 years old." I say

"What's your last name." D asks

"Don't know." I say

"How do you not know your last name?" J asks

"I was abandoned at a young age by my family. The only information I could remember was my age, birthday and my first and middle name." I say

"That's sad." Stuart says

"Yeah. Kind of." I say

"We'll let's get going." Duck says

"Where are we going?" I ask

"You'll see." He says

They all walk out of the airport and I follow behind them. Wondering what I got myself into. But remember. Everything happens for a reason. We get outside and I feel the heat hit me. We walk towards a springer van and we all get inside. Everyone sat down in their seats. I made sure that I got a seat right next to the window. I didn't really pay attention to who was sitting where. I just knew I was sitting next to a window and next to Stuart. Me and him talked for the whole drive. We became really good friends. And I would even consider him my best friend at this point. It turns out he's pretty funny. He tells some pretty good jokes. And has the crazy life experiences. For example he told me, he had a pencil stuck in his ear for a week. You may think he had done that when he was little. But nope. That happened last month. Every time he spoke you wanted to laugh. My thoughts were interrupted by a very loud shout.

"WE'RE HERE BICTHES!" L shouted

"SHUT UP." D screams

"Did some wake sleeping beauty up?" I ask

"Yes." D response

"How was your nap?" Jo asks

"It was fine. Until. AN IDIOT WOKE ME UP!" D screamed at L

"Everyone just get out of the van." J say

"Okay dad." Stuart says while walking to J to give him a kiss on the cheek

Everyone expect for Stuart laughs. He just stares at us. I could tell he didn't find it funny. Even though it was. We got closer to the house and it was beautiful. It was one of those houses that you would see on google that you would never think is real. But they are. And one of them stands right in front of me. We get to the door of the house and L opens the door and Jo runs straight for the couch and jumps on it. I walk over to Duck.

"And can you tell me anything now?" I ask

"In a little bit." He replies

I sigh

"So where am I going to be sleeping." I ask

"Follow me." He says

I follow him up the stairs and into a bedroom filled with my stuff. Wow it got here fast. Everything was set up just the way I had it back in my apartment in Dallas. Exactly the same way including the picture of my parents and I on my nightstand. Before they abandoned me.

"Here." He says showing off my room

"So can you tell me now?" I ask

"Fine."

He sits down on my bed and sighs. For some reason it felt like he didn't want to tell me. He pated my bed. Motioning for me to sit down next to him. And I did. I sat down next to him on the bed.

"Well." He began
