The battle of Demons

Chapter 15

Sinclair and I are sitting in the living room when mom and dad walk in with their bags.

Yall heading out? I ask turning down the TV.

Yea, your dad wants to beat the traffic and get home. Mom says and puts down her bag to come and hug me. I get up and meet her half way with my arms wide.

Have a safe ride home and call me when you get there I love you. I say hugging her tightly.

We will sweetie, I love you too. She says as she lets go. She grabs her bag and her and dad head out the door waving goodbye. I sit back down next to Sinclair and let out a big yawn.

You tired? He asks picking up the remote and changing the channel.

Yea, I could use a nap. I say lean my head against the arm of the couch.

That doesnt look very comfortable, here just lay your head on me. He says and puts his arm on the back of the couch. I soon fall asleep leaning against his chest and I felt so safe. Im awakened my a knock at the door. I look up and see that Sinclair had fallen asleep as well. I get up and walk to the door then open it and see Emily filling the doorway.

What do you want? I ask harshly.

I want to talk to Sinclair. She says and crosses her arms.

What makes you think hes I start to say but get cut off by Sinclair as he walks up behind me and says.

What do you want hoe.

I want a chance to defend myself. I didnt do those things that, that liar said I did, I promise Im not like that you should know me better than that. I love you why would I treat you so horribly. She says trying to get him to come back to her.

So youre basically calling yourself a liar because I was in the room when you told Angel that you did in fact cheat on me and that you didnt regret it. Now if youre gonna come over here and start lying to my face at least make it more realistic. He says and slams the door in her face.

Well then. I say smiling. He looks down at me and starts to laugh and I follow.

Angel youre such a trader. I hear Emily yell from right outside the door.

Id rather be a trader than a hoe like you, now get off my porch before I call the cops on you for trespassing. I yell back. I hear her leave and get into her car and drive off. Sinclair and I walk back to the living room and watch TV.

Well that was interesting. I say and look over at him.

Yea that was glad it's over though. He says and looks back at me with a slight smile. I smile back then look at the clock.

Wow it's already late. I say and look back at him.

Yea I guess I should be going soon. He says. His eyes suddenly fill with sadness as he says that.

Well you don't have to go if you don't want to, you can stay here as long as you need. I say and pet his head.

No I don't want to be a bother. He says looking at the clock.

You won't be. I say and turn my body towards him.

No thank you Angel I'd rather go home. He says and turns off the TV.

Are you sure? I ask and look back at the clock.

Yea I'm sure. He says and gets up.

Well ok, if that's what you want to do. I says and smile at him then get up and follow him to the door.

Stay safe out there. I says and playfully punch his arm.

I will. He says and smiles at me.

Bye. I say and hug him goodbye.

Bye thanks for letting me stay here I guess it did beat sleeping in a tree. He says with a laugh. I laugh with him and say.

I would hope so. We hug each other once more and say our goodbyes then he gets into his car and drives away. I walk back inside and go upstairs to the library.
