I woke up to Thomas running his fingers through my hair, "Come on Noelle. I made some bacon."

I really liked the new Thomas. He was nice. I walked into my room when I had bacon to pick up a Skype call. TyDunno, "Good morning sunshine!" He said.

"Good morning." I smiled.

He noticed I was eating bacon, "Uhhh... Did Thomas make that for you?" He asked.

"Yeah." I said, "It tastes pretty good."

He looked at me in an odd way, "I thought he was a jerk."

I nodded, "Yeah. He was going through rough times though. He was fired from his old job when I came. But now he is really nice."

I heard a knock on the door, "Come in!" I called.

Thomas stepped through, "Hey Noelle. Hurry up please. I have a new job and I don't want to be late."

I smiled, "Oh! What do you do?" I asked.

He smiled, "I'm a cashier. Now come on!"

When I got to school Travis was there by the front entry waiting for me, "Hello again." He said and gave me a hug. A girl behind him gave me a dirty look. She was obviously into him. He gave me a kiss on the cheek, "Come on." He said, "Let's get to class."

At lunch I was walking down the hall when I bumped into a girl and she dropped her books, "Oh! I'm so sorry." I said.

"It's okay." She said. I helped her pick up her books, "Thank's." She said, "I'm Amanda."

I smiled, "No problem. I'm Noelle."

She smiled too, "I saw you with Travis. Are you his... You know."

I laughed, "Yeah. I'm new around here and am trying to make some friends. Wanna hang out sometime. I could introduce you to Travis."

She looked exited, "Really! That would be great! Usually a girl like me wouldn't be able to even get close to Travis."

I looked at her, "Oh trust me. He see's people for who they are. Not what they look like."

Just then Travis walked over, "Hey Noelle. what's up?" He asked.

I smiled at him, "Not much. Oh! This is my friend Amanda."

He smiled, "Well, nice to meet you Amanda."

She moved her hair, "Hi."

He looked back at me, "So. I got to get to my science class. I got to study hard if I'm gonna be an astronomer." He left.

Amanda looked at me, "I can't believe how easily you got the coolest guy in school to go out with you!" Okay. Honestly I feel like Amanda is a girl version of Travis with glasses. Same brown hair, same gleaming brown eyes. I almost called her Travis just now.

"T-Amanda! Are you serious? He is not the cool kid." I said, "At my last school if a kid even had the slightest interest in science you would be considered a nerd."

She smiled, "Same here. But he is just too cute to call a nerd." I laughed so hard.

When I got home the first thing I did was say, "I'm home!" No response. I looked around, "Thomas!?" I went into his room and saw two men in black suits there.

"Hello Noelle." I have moved because of a legal guardian death enough times to know who they were, "I am afraid your brother died in a shoot out at work." 

AW COME ON!!! I thought to my self.

"I'm afraid you will have to come with us."

I immediately felt a tear go down my cheek. I had finally found someone special. And now I have to leave, "Can I just say good bye to my... Friend."

They shook thier heads, "It is a long way to your grandfather's house." 

Grand father!? Like thats gonna go better!

"We can't drive you all the way to your frien..."

"He lives next door." I cutt them off with an irritated tone.

They looked at me, "Oh. Okay then."

I knocked on the door and Travis opened it. I immediatly gave him a hug, "Whoa! What's wrong?" He asked. I was crying.

"Thomas died in a shoot out and I have to leave." I cryed so hard.

"She made a really good friend really fast." I heard the men say.

Travis gave me a kiss, "Oh." The men said.

Travis pulled back and smiled, "I have an idea!"

I looked at him, "What!?" I asked.

"Can she stay with me?" He asked the men.

They looked at him, "No. She has to stay with her grandfather."

He looked at them, "What if he's okay with it?"

They looked at eachother and back at us, "Then she could stay with you." One of them said.

I got out my phone and called my grandfather. He picked up, "Hello?" He said.

"Grand dad! I have made some really good friends. Can I stay with one of them?"

He was quiet for a little. Then he spoke, "I geuss." He said.

"Yes!" I yelled, "Thanks grand dad!"

"No problem." He said, "Bye."

"Bye!" I said. I hugged Travis really tight.

The men left and I went into the house. (Ignore the fact they didn't ask Travis's parents.) Travis looked at me, "I don't have another room, but you can sleep in my room. I can sleep on the floor."

"Yeah no. Your not sleeping on the floor." I said.

He looked confused, "But, there is only one bed and I am not about to let you sleep on the floor and..." I looked at him smirking, "Ohhhh." I smiled, "Uh... Yeah okay."

I had my suit case inside already so I put my pajamas on and lured in the bed. Travis came in all dressed in his pajamas and lured down next to me. He turned the light off with his foot and wrapped his arms around me. With Travis comforting me, I slowly fell asleep.

(Awww. how cute. TTYL.)
