Radioactives

Chapter 4: Awkward

Jacks POV:

We had finally arrived at the old apartments our gang called home. We were probably the youngest in the history of gangs in New York. Of course we had guys that were in there 30's and 40's, but me and Sam being 22 year old leaders it was considered young. And we were very old school also. Of course we had guns but we also had older weapons too, like num chucks that a younger member Cameron had chosen as his weapon of choice, and we also had a guy with a cross bow. And my weapon of choice was a few small knives, that I kept hidden in the waist of my jeans.

Sam was first to get out of the car, then Luna, then me.

I'm not gonna lie. Luna was beautiful, her dark hair fell past her shoulders and it looked beautiful despite the fact that she was homeless and probably hadn't washed it in a while. Her eyes changed color a lot, and I couldn't quite tell what the normal color was.

I led Luna into the old building, and through the corridors into her new room. It was a guest room that used to be JJ's.

Luna's POV:

Once Jack had showed me where my room was, and where his room was, he left me to take a well-needed shower. I closed the door and locked it. The room that was mine was clean white bed sheets on the queen-sized bed in the middle of the room. There was a window with metal bars over it like a jail cell. And I had my own bathroom with a shower. It was surprisingly clean and tidy.

I made my way towards the bathroom looking around, there was a sink a mirror, a toilet and a shower, your typical bathroom appliances.

I stripped from my clothes, and hopped into the steamy shower. It felt amazing, I hadn't taken a hot shower in a while I usually sneak into the locker rooms at the YMCA and took a shower there, but the water was always freezing cold.

I found soap and scrubbed my body until it was pink. I stepped out and grabbed a towel and wrapped it around my body. Then I realized I didn't have any clothes.

I unlocked the door peering out to make sure no one was roaming the halls, then I snuck down to Jacks room.

"Jack?" I asked pushing the door open.
He sat on his bed and looked up. I was literally half naked, only the towel covering me.

"Uhhhh yeah?" He replied looking me up and down.

"I need to borrow some clothes?" I asked"

"Oh, duh," he said and went rummaging through his closet. He came out with a t-shirt and a pair of basketball shorts. "They will probably be a bit big, sorry?" He said scratching his head.

"No they're fine, thanks." I said he nodded.

I padded down the hallway back to my room. That was awkward.

I put my underwear back on, it wasn't that dirty, then slipped on Jacks t-shirt and shorts, they were big, but they were comfortable.

I laid down under my covers and tried to fall asleep but failed. Thoughts kept roaming my mind, and they wouldn't let me sleep.......little devils.

After sitting there for about an hour I started to drift off to sleep.
