A Better Best Friend

20

Everyone is asleep Fillie came out of the bathroom and laid down like 10 minutes after I knocked on the door. I'm just watching the office, the episode when Phyllis marries Bob Vance, I hear the door open so I turn around to see who it is. It's jack.

"Hey baby what're you doing?" I ask him, he seems out of it still but I don't know for sure.

"I miss you." He said. He sat on the couch at my feet and then leaned back instantly falling asleep. I kicked him because he was hurting my feet, he slowly looked over at me and didn't say anything.

"Lay with me?" I asked, he adjusted himself and laid down behind me.

"I love you." He whispered in my ear. It was one of those whispers where I felt it more than I heard it. He was so warm the way he wrapped his arms around me and nuzzles his chin against my neck. He's just amazing, there's nothing in my life better than Jack. I was going to say I love you too until I realized he was already snoring. His snore is so cute because his voice is high. I heard footsteps again and whipped my head back, it was Garrett.

"Hey what the hell are you doing down here?" I asked. When I have friends over, the boys are supposed to stay upstairs and not bother anyone.

"I want you to turn that shit down it's so loud I can't sleep. Also jack spilled a bunch of water of the counter. He filled up a glass and the dumped it in the sink but he missed like half of it." Garrett said nervously for some reason.

"What's wrong? Why did you say it like that." I asked. Garrett usually isn't like that. He gulped and looked down,

"I don't know, they way he looked at me when the steps creaked really creeped me out, then he slowly walked to the stairs but never stopped staring at me." He said. He shuddered at the end of the sentence.

"Maybe he was just sleep walking don't worry." I said trying to calm him. To be honest I've never seen Jack sleep walk, or even heard anybody else say something about him doing it. I shook Jack to wake him up but he didn't move so I shook him again. He moved and started to groans little. "Jack?" I asked. He moved himself over me and then put a hand on my chest. "Hey what're you doing? What did you do with that water up stairs?" I asked. He moved his hand up toward my neck and then tightened his grip. "Jack!" I said gasping for breath. He tightened his grip even more and I couldn't breathe, I tried to scream for help but I can't. Jack moves his other hand to my neck and squeezes even harder. I grab his hands and try to move them but he is surprisingly strong and I can't so I try to scratch into his arms, but my nails aren't long enough to hurt him. I continue to try and scream until I started to go limp. Suddenly I wake up screaming throwing my arms into the air, Jack jumps up and I slap him and Millie screams. I feel my neck and then realize that it was all a dream.

"What the hell is going on?!" Finn yelled jumping up. Jack stood up rubbing his face,

"Yeah seriously what the hell was that." I sat up straight and cleared my throat.

"I was having a nightmare and it seemed so real." I said. It was still replaying through my mind and it just feels like it was really happening. Jack put a hand on my shoulder.

"Are you okay? Do you want to talk about it?" He asked softly. I looked down,

"No, not now at least." I said quietly then I looked back up at him. "When did you come downstairs?" I asked.

"Um like 20 minutes ago but I've just been watching the office because I'm not really tired." He said. "Why do you ask?"

"Umm no reason." I said. Millie came over and sat on the arm of the couch that my head was sitting on.

"So you just had a nightmare, it sounded like you'd been stabbed sweetheart." She said laughing. I love her.

"Yeah it was just really realistic." I said mentally getting over it.

"You sure you're okay though? Do you want water or anything?" Emily asked sitting cross cross on the floor.

"Do we have any left over pizza, because I'm actually really hungry." I said smiling. The pizza was good and I think I'm starting to drool just thinking about it.

"I have an idea!" Finn yelled.

"What's the idea Nose." Jack asked making fun of Finns semi large nose.

"Well baby voice, I was thinking that we could make some chicken nuggets and some macaroni and cheese and just sit around and talk because we didn't really do that earlier." He said. It was almost like a lightbulb went off in his head because he was energized by his idea.

"That actually is a great idea Finn, as long as your parents are okay with it Elyssa I am." Sophia said laying in her stomach, I never realized how pretty her eyes were.

"It's fine let's do it I'm hungry." I stood up and then looked at Finn because I don't really know how he knew that I had those foods, and that I had enough to feed everyone. "How did you know that I had that food?" I asked. He smiled and looked down. Millie looked at him with a really annoyed face.

"When I was in the kitchen I looked in the fridge and freezer." He paused and laughed a little, "And in the pantry, and the closet, and the cabinets." Millie punched his shoulder and Jack fell on the ground laughing.

"Why do you always look through people's food? What is wrong with you?" She asked him. She winded up for another lunch and he flinched. Jack was rolling around on the floor dying,

"Oh my god it hurts, please someone help. Hey Finn can you look through everything in the bathroom for me? Somebody might forget where they put their toothbrush." His face was so red that I thought he might pop.

"What? That wasn't even funny." I said looking down at him. Everybody got up and went upstairs quietly, but jack didn't come with us because he was still having that little 'episode'. I grabbed the bag of chicken nuggets and put them all on a sheet tray, then I grabbed 3 boxes of macaroni and Finn said.

"Praise Jesus we eatin good tonight!" Millie pinched him and then kissed his cheek.

"You're lucky I like you, you big dork." She said and then wrapped her arms around his arm and put her head on his shoulder.

"Hey you guys shouldn't be doing so much PDA." I said giggling.

"Hey mind you business Kevin Hart." Finn said.

"Why Kevin Hart?" I asked squinting.

"Because he's a comedian and you told a joke."

"Yeah but that doesn't make any sense." I said.

"Okay okay." He said. He turned and went back downstairs.

"God those two are such a handful." I said laughing. Millie frowned,

"Hey I know you talk to Jack like that, but please don't say things like that about Finn." She said. Then she turned and also went back downstairs. My jaw dropped and I turned around and looked at Sophia and Millie, who's jaws had also dropped.

"What?" We all mouthed.

Note-Can I get an order of beef? And also some milk.
