Jesse's POV
I wasn't sure to either hug Axel or to hit him. "So... you were looking for me, huh?" I said skeptically. Axel winced and nodded. I saw him looking at Reuben and I nudged my dog towards Axel, who looked positively surprised.
"Axel, Reuben. Reuben, Axel." I rattled off. "You named your dog after a kind of food." Axel said tonelessly. I shrugged. "Look," I told Axel, "The woods isn't a good place to talk. We'll talk tomorrow." I said and Axel frowned.
"Why not at your place?" He asked. I grimaced. "Definitely not. I've got.." I looked at him, wondering if I could trust Axel. "I've got a family problem." I rushed on. Axel raised an eyebrow but he nodded. At least he didn't ask, which I appreciated.
"Okay then... what were you doing in the woods Jesse?" Axel asked and I picked Reuben up from the muddy ground. He hated getting his paws muddy. I kept quiet for awhile. "Building." I replied simply.
At least I didn't lie, did I? "Okay, why don't you bring some nails tomorrow, and I'll show you." I said as we exited the woods.
