I was watching TV on the couch with my dad and ate some popcorn.

This is something we did a lot and it was nice because he was always in cool dad mode whenever we chilled. We ate junk food, talked shit about our work and school and had fun.

My phone broke my concentration away from the tv, I reached over to the arm of the couch and checked to see who it was.

Can I come in. I'm outside?~ 11:36pm

My eyes widen and I almost choked on my popcorn when I read the message. He was what!?!

Do I reject him? He did buy me stuff and maybe it was a test to see if I would treat him bad and just use him. Or maybe he needed something. Maybe he wanted to talk. I don't know but I'm about to find out.

Sure. But come around back by my window ~ 11:37pm

I was definitely not getting my ass in trouble because of this boy. And I barely knew him but I'm probably the only person he knows in this town.

"Hey dad, I'm getting kinda tired. So..I'm gonna go to bed a little early." But he just nodded. He was half sleep anyways trying to stay awake.

I made sure he wasn't aware of me, and quickly went to my room and to my surprise Blaze was already standing there.

I gasped and held my chest out of shock.

"How did you get in?!" I whispered yelled.

"The window." He said in an obvious tone. But I glanced at the window and it was closed. And I barely open my window so it's kind of hard to open.

"It's closed though." I said crossing my arms.

"I closed it." He said staring down at me. Except I couldn't really see his eyes since they were hidden by his dark hoodie, and a hat he had on.

I guess that seemed logical. But he was acting funny and a little weird.

"So..how come you're here?" I asked him. I didn't wanna stare but I almost couldn't help it.

"Do you not want me here?" He asked with a hint of attitude.

I was taken back a little bit by what he said but decided try not take it to heart.

"N-no. I don't mind. It's just is there something you needed that I could help you with?" I tried to re word it so he wouldn't get upset.

"Well could I use your shower?" He asked. I was confused as to why he would ask that but maybe his didn't work at home.

"Uh yeah, yeah sure." I said snapping out of whatever trance I was in.
