~Travis~

I was thinking about Nicole more than usual. It scared me. I felt like I craved her like I needed her around me all the time. I guess I really should tell her how I feel, what could go wrong. I mean the only thing that's scary Is feeling the pain that rejection causes. I know she's with Kendrick but that doesn't mean I should hide my feelings from her, I tried that and we all know that didn't work out well It only made me appear stupid and that I'm far from. "Hey Nick?' I questioned when I got sent to her voice mail, she must be taking a nap like always. "I was calling to ask you If you want me to walk with you to the bus stop tomorrow" I said taking a breath before I continued. "Call me back with a answer when you hear this voice mail" I said wrapping up this message. "I lov-.. bye" I said cutting myself off before I said something I might regret later. "Travis, mommy and daddy still aren't home" Mercedes my 5 year old sister said walking Into my room, "I know" I said meeting her half way. "Can't sleep?" I asked her watching as she rubbed her heavy eyes, "yeah" she mumbled against my neck while she laid her head on my shoulder. I put my hands under her thighs for more support while I cradled her In my arms.

"How about I read you a story" I said going back to her room, "alright" she said jumping down off me after I'd squatted down. "I want you to read this one to me" Mercedes cheered out handing me her favorite book "one fish two fish red fish blue fish by Dr.Seuss" as she jumped back on me after I sat down on her twin bed. "You ready" I asked her she was still fidgeting around , "yeah you can start" she said smiling wide up at my neck even though I knew she was trying to look at my face. "One fish two fish red fish blue fish" I said reading the first page to her, "black fish blue fish old fish new fish. This one has a little star. This one has a little car . Say! what a lot of fish there are" I continued on with the book Into I suddenly heard little mumbles of words followed by gentle snores."Goodnight Mercedes" I said kissing the top of her head after I laid her down In her bed.

~Nicole~

 I woke up from my nap and Instantly went on my phone as I noticed It flashed which meant so one was trying to get a hold of me. "Hey Travy I got your voice mail. I was just calling you back to tell you I'm Interested In the Idea of you riding the bus with me. Well call me back when you here this" I said hanging up the phone afterwards. I didn't mention It throw the voice mail but I swear I heard him say that or attempt to say he loved me but I could have been hearing things though In plus he would never like me In that way anyway. "Darling come eat" my mom yelled from down the hallway, she probably had My Dad cook again or mad him go get us some food for dinner. "okay mom I'm coming" I said running downstairs to find Trevin sitting on one of the stools at the Island grubbing on a taco. "Taco bell Yesss" I said dragging the s when I said the word yes. "What's up with you" I asked Trevin when I plopped down on the stool beside him, "nothing" Trevin said finishing off his first taco. "You sure nothing's wrong" I asked I wasn't about to believe his lie I wanted the truth, I mean after all he did usually tell me everything. "Yes damn get off my back" Trevin said slamming his cup back down after he took a couple sips of his drink. I couldn't believe the way he was acting right now yes I've seen him mad before but not like this and not this quick. "What's going on In here" are mom asked while she walked down the stairs"

"I don't mom why don't you ask Trevin" I said smirking at him as he groaned loudly, "well" are mom said putting her hands on her hips. The room was still and that only seemed to fuel are mom's anger I could tell by the way she rubbed her forehead. I reached out trying to grab my taco when are Dad suddenly appeared from the living room behind us knocking the hard  shell taco out my hand. "Dad" I whined getting mad as I tried to pick up my taco a second time, "Don't Dad me. No eating Into we hear something out of you guys" he said I could hear my Dad's Jamaican accent hiss with every word he said. "Again why are you guys looking at me, Trevin has the problem" I said glaring at the side of his head. "Then If It's Trevin who we should be concerned you better let him know or neither of you will be eating or finishing your dinner tonight" She yelled out her facing turning a bright shade of red. "Trevin fucking talk" I yelled at him receiving a hard punch In the back from are Dad for cursing I suspected. "Watch your mouth" Mom said pointing her Index finger at me.

"Seriously" Trevin tell Mom and Dad what's going on so I can eat" I ordered we had already been sitting her for a good hour and still got nothing out of him. "Fine you guys want to know" Trevin suddenly yelled out In anger, "yes" we all chorused together happy that we had finally got the moment we were waiting for. "It's Natasha okay" Trevin said not really elaborating on what exactly was going between the two of him but I wasn't worried I knew we'd know In a matter of minutes. "What about Natasha" Dad asked wrapping his arms around my mother's waist trying to support his head that leaned on her shoulder. Trevin turned his head to look In my direction as I bite down on my taco supreme eager to taste the delicious creamy sour cream or the way the shredded cheese and lettuce went perfectly with the taco meat. "What" I asked my mouth full of the amazing food, I swallowed down the taco with the new Dr.pepper vanilla float freeze.

"Can you not smack" Trevin said he's most likely trying to avoid answering  Dad's question. "Trevin" Mom yelled folding her arms over her chest, "okay okay, I do want to tell you It's just I think It's best If she's here when I do tell you. In plus I'd like to know If she even wants you guys to know yet" Trevin explained picking up his cold abandon taco out of It's plastic paper wrap and munching on It. "So we'll know before the end of the day tomorrow" Mom asked she remained anger, "yes Mom" Trevin said holding back what he really had to say cause right about now he couldn't afford to get slapped In the face he was as you may know In hot water. "Good" She said turning to Dad when he whispered something In her ear. "Nicole have a good night" Mom said leaving off with are Dad upstairs. "Freaks" I mumbled picking out the tomatoes In my second taco, talk about to much tomatoes. "What you doing that's the best part" Trevin said reaching over my freeze to grab my the tomatoes I pilled off the taco. I watched as he place them In his own taco then garbled his drink which was his own Dr.pepper vanilla float freeze.

"I'm not hungry anymore you can have the rest of my taco" I said scrunching my face up In discuss. I finally shut my eyes after a long day I was thankful that It wasn't a school day then It would have been  an even more stressful day. "Mom relax" I told her she'd been so caught up on what It was that we were about to find out today from Trevin and his girlfriend Natasha. "I'm sure It's nothing major" I said going to my room to fetch my favorite sandals with my name engraved In the back of them. "I can't relax , who knows what they'll tell us" My mom said covering all her bleached pink skin, "I'm sorry It's just your father's had my mind wondering every since he talked to me about It this morning before he had to leave for work" She explained walking out the bathroom. "So what's up" I asked Travis ask we walked together leaving the path of my front yard.

"What do you mean" Travis asked looking down at me, "I mean why the sudden change In routine" I asked looking up at him meeting his eyes for a spear moment. He just shrugged looking away from me. Something's up I thought walking In silence the rest of the way to the bus stop. "Travis will you please tell me what's up with you and don't tell me nothing's wrong cause something Is your not acting like yourself this morning" I said getting just a little loud. I didn't want anyone's attention but his. "I'm just thinking, why are you worried about me anyway" he asked taking his bag out of his locker. He wonders why he's failing . "That's why your ass Is failing. Quit leaving your bag here" I laughed, "Come over this afternoon then I'll tell you" Travis said picking up his bag. "Oh I oka-... wait I can't" I bite my lip, "why not" Travis asked It surprised me how quick his emotions changed lately.

"Cause my mom wants me home to hear what my brother and Natasha have to tell us" I said. He seemed disappointed but he soon shook It off returning to his normal self. "I guess It can wait" he didn't seem sure and who know's how long he's going to remember what It Is he was trying to tell me. "Why can't you just tell me now" I asked feeling arms wrap around my shoulders, "Kendrick" I said pecking his lips returning to the conversation Travis and I were having. "That's why" I heard Travis say before Kendrick turned me around to hug me properly. I wonder what Travis meant by that but I didn't over think It. "Trevin I'm here" I yelled  but all I heard was the tv answering me. I went Into the living room my mind set on turning the tv off when I heard a soft voice speak.

"Hey Nicole" Natasha said combing her hand threw her curly hair to block the bang from her face, "hi" I said about to go upstairs when she stopped me. "Hey uh we never really got to talk but I'm sure that will change" she said smirking at me, she sounded like she'd just woken up I hope she wasn't here all day. I walked back downstairs after setting my stuff down grabbing some grapes from the fridge , I couldn't help noticing Natasha rubbing.....
