I sat miserably at the hotel table in Ashley and Jinxx's room. I only picked at my food.

"So, what's the deal, kid? Your parents kick you out?" Jinxx began, but was stopped by a short blow in the ribs from Sandra's elbow.

It was awkward. I should have been hungry as hell… well I was…. But I just couldn't eat – every mouthful threatened to come back up.

I pushed my paper plate away. Andy looked up and I rested my head in my hands.

"Well if your not going to eat that, then I wi_"

Sandra looked at Ashley and he shut up and continued with his own food.

"I thought you'd be hungry" Sandra said.

"Sorry…" I said. "No, im okay. Here – you have it" I said and scraped my food on to Ashley's plate. He looked like he just won the lottery, and began tucking in fast.

"You've got to eat." Andy said and looked at me straight on.

"Hey, man, don't ask me to give it back!" Ashley joked.

"Nah. Have some of mine." Andy said, still looking at me.

"No, im really_" Suddenly I felt the piercing intensity of his blue eyes. I felt like I wanted to eat. Im hungry…. SO hungry! I thought.

Andy put some food on my plate. "Thanks." I said. "Im starving!"

I tucked in and ate every last bite!

The Room Situation

"I'm having my own room this time – you guys agreed …" Sandra began.

"Me and Jinxx are sharing a room – Jinxx promised me a Halo match… im so gonna kick his ass…." Ashley started. "Ha-ha! That leaves you and Andy!" Ashley said laughing…

I looked at Andy… then back at the floor… I thought I might die – in fact I wished I would!

After a long time of silence I said desperately "Hey, if I get a job – I can pay for my own room – I don't have much money, but….."

I couldn't finish… I didn't know what was going on!

"It's fine." Andy said. "I don't mind…. You don't, right?"

"Oh, no – im just happy that I have somewhere to stay for the night!"

We all departed and went for our rooms. I couldn't believe it – I was here… and…

The door shut.

"Uhh…which bed can I have?" I asked.

"Dunno… whichever you want, I guess"

"OK…." I said and made my way to the one closest to the window.

I climbed on it. I put my hands behind my head (still sitting up) and raised one knee towards my chest.

I yawned. I was SO tired.

I began to climb underneath the covers, when I felt someone's eyes on me.

I looked up. Andy. He was leaning against the door with one foot propped against it. He was smoking another cigarette.

I didn't know what to say, so I just opened up and hoped something would come out! "Goodnight, Andy."

He chuckled to himself, a faint chuckle, smiling slightly. "Night, Roxy."

Blood?

I screamed and screamed, louder and louder. My eyes opened, and I automatically sat up. I gasped and felt a cold hand on mine.

Tears were running down my face and I looked around the room. Andy was beside my bed.
