Don't Be The Hero

Before I woke up there was a strange feeling of warmth by my foot. I could tell right away that it wasn't Jack. Rubbing my eyes I sit up and blink wearily. It was bunny. It had snuggled against my bare feet. stupid bunny. I sat up and kicked it away, before huddling up against Jack once more. Oh, how I've missed camping. Even if it is in the front yard. I pulled out my phone, illuminating a spot in the darkness. Missed calls, three, texts, eight. The calls were from mom. I'll do it later.

The texts were from dad. The little time thing by them said three in the morning.

Dad

-------

I have to go to something in the morning.

Wont be back till five pm

Find sub

Borrowing your money.

I'll pay you back.

Don't do anything stupid.

Victor will be watching.

Love you.

Ok... why does he need my money? And I guess I have been a bit reckless, but not that reckless. It's not like I need someone watching my every move. Or do I? I type back,

Sure. Love you too

Jack rolls over a bit. I stand and place the jacket on top of him. Kicking off my boots, I walk barefoot over to the tree where Victor is standing. Creepily dressed in all black, he blended in with the darkness. Phone in one hand, I jump up and grab a branch with the other. "What are you doing?" Victor asked looking up at me.

"Multitasking." He raised an eyebrow. "Pull-ups and texting mom. Smile." It took a picture of Victor who by the way wasn't smiling. I didn't know what to do with it, but I know I'll find something to use it for. "I here your suppose to be watching me." I say nearing my fifteenth pull-up. One arm, left handed texting. "You here correctly."

I finished my texts to mom. They said,

Sorry I've been missing your calls, new recruits, extra training, little sleep. I'll send you a picture of them. Can I come visit sometime in the future? Maybe the end of August?

Can I bring Jack? Sorry I have to go, Victor is watching my every move. Jk, but maybe he is, I cant be sure. The sun is rising, wake up call, I'll talk later.

Sending the messages I stuff the phone in my back pocket. "What number was I on?" I asked Victor. I lost count. I have to get better at multitasking.

"57" he said leaning against the tree. I do three more quick pull-ups, and manage to flip myself into a handstand position, before dismounting, landing in front of Victor. "Can you get out some heavy stuff and find my bunny? thanks." I said before skipping off to wake up Jack. It was master your powers day one in training.

I stood above Jack, who was still snoring away. These cupcakes can have a massive effect on people. I kneeled down beside him and shook his shoulder. "Whaa?" yawning.

"Come on sleepy head wake up! its almost time for wake up call. Would you like me to do it, or spare them the pain?"

He waved me off and went back to sleep. I tried to pull him up. "Come on! Your the best at it. If you get up now I'll let you sleep later." After he still wouldn't wake up I went to my last resort. "Please?"

Jack sat up. "what was that I just heard?" he said mocking me.

"Don't push it. Now hurry up, we have to find a sub for class."
