These words are my own. I love you. (Brian Rosenthal love story)

Spiderman or Batman?

We got back to the manor and all sat around watching The Little Mermaid. I was on the couch between Walker and Holden.

‘Guys, its midnight we should probably settle some sleeping arrangements.’ Holden stated just as Ariel and Eric got married. We all agreed.

 After much arguing we agreed that no one could be bothered and to just take it as it comes. Instead we put in Aladdin. Then Mulan, then Beauty and the beast. After that I wasn’t really paying attention. Before I knew it, I was asleep.

I woke up the next morning in a bed. I looked around the room to see High School Musical posters along with posters labelled “A Very Potter Musical” and “Me and My Diick” I guess these are from the plays Lauren told me about. I crawled out of bed to the smell of pancakes. I crept down the stairs careful not to wake anyone up. And headed towards the kitchen where Walker and Lauren were making the delicious smelling chocolate chip pancakes.

‘Morning.’ They both said in unison.

‘Morning. Do you guys have any idea how I got upstairs?’

‘Oh- Well I know that you probably hurt your Back yesterday so when you fell asleep on the couch I moved you up to my room. Not to mention you were on my shoulder and I needed to get up.’ Joe smiled sheepishly. I blushed.

‘Oh. Well thank-you. Sorry for falling asleep on your shoulder… and taking your bed.’ I apologised awkwardly.

‘No problem. You needed it more than I did.’ I smiled. God his eyes were bright.

‘Uh. Yeah. Hi. So if you’re done mentally fvcking each other, the pancakes are ready.’ Lauren stated as she walked between us to get plates. Shiit I forgot she was here.  How long were we standing like that? I’m going to have a lot of questions to answer later…

Within the next few minutes everyone woke up and we were sitting and standing around the kitchen eating our chocolate chip pancakes and discussing favourite superheros but I wasn’t really paying attention. My eyes kept wondering over to one, Joe Walker.

‘Ariel?’ I snapped back into reality to see everyone staring at me.

‘Uh. What? Sorry… spaced. What did you say?’

‘I asked you who you think is better …’Joey said slowly.

‘Oh! Right… out of who?’

‘Spiderman and Batman.’ Holden answered.

‘Oh Batman, Definitely!’ I answered without hesitating.

‘NO!’ Dylan and Jim yelled at the same time as Holden and Joe yelled ‘Yes!’

‘Why?’ Jim demanded.

‘Take Spiderman out of New York and he’s useless.’ I shrugged.

‘YES! Ariel I officially love you!’ Holden picked me up spinning me in circles as he hugged me.

‘YAY! I love you too!’ He put me down and we casually went back to eating pancakes.

After breakfast and much laughs, we were back on the couch playing halo. Well, Joey and Holden were playing and the rest watching. I was sitting between Brian and Lauren. (A/N: I’m calling Brian Holden: Holden and Brian Rosenthal: Brian. Just so we don’t have any confusion! :D) When my phone rang.

‘Hello?’ I answered.

‘Hi honey! How are you?’ A cheery mother asked over the phone.

‘I’m good!’ I excused myself to step outside and continue my phone call.

‘Well that’s good! How are you settling? Is everything okay?’

‘Yeah, I’m okay mom. Actually more than okay… you will never guess who I’m with!’

‘Ooh is it a boy? It’s a boy isn’t it?’

‘No! Well… yes but not in that way…’

‘Sweetie you’re rambling again.’

‘Sorry. It’s Brian! You know, Rosenthal!’

‘Really? Oh that’s wonderful! Oh Jo did say that he moved there with his friends! How did you come across him?’ I decided on telling my mom the story, as long as I’m safe now she should be okay…

‘Oh my goodness! Are you okay? Are you safe now? Are you pregnant? Did you check? Oh my god I’m so sorry sweetie that you had to go through that.’ My mom stressed.

‘It’s okay mom. No need to worry. Yes I’m safe now, No I am not pregnant. When Holden found me he hadn’t gotten that far… all is well! I’m at StarKid manor now, in fact.’

‘Oh! Well I won’t keep you from your new friends. I just called to see how you are. Love you!’

‘I love you too mom.’

‘Bye!’

‘Bye!’ and with that, our call ended. I went back into the living room.

‘Sorry about that, it was my mother.’ I said as I sat down back next to Brian and Lauren.

‘How is she?’ Brian asked. He was always close with my mom. She was very fond of Brian.

‘She’s good! Still her worrying self, but good.’ I smiled. Brian nodded and went back to Halo.
