Roommates!

Chapter 17

Abby and Etai were walking down the sidewalk when they noticed Danny and Nicole across the street, walking into the alleyway. They both looked at one another before walking toward the crosswalk, crossing it even though the light was green, but there weren't any cars. Abby and Etai ran over to them, seeing that Danny was hurt.

"Dan, my g, are you okay?" Etai asked, looking at the Wyoming boy worried.

"Yep." Danny said as he stood up straight now, Nicole still holding his arm. Danny sighed as he looked at the empty alleyway, "dammit." He mumbled.

"What happened?" Abby asked.

"Nothing, don't worry about it." Danny said before walking away, back toward the car. Nicole followed right beside him, before separating to get into the car. Before Danny got into the car though, he looked at Abby and Etai. "You guys need a ride home?" He asked.

The two nodded, rushing to get inside of Nicole's car. They sat in the back, Danny entering the driver's side door. He sat in the driver's seat, closing the door, everyone else closing their doors. Danny put the keys into the ignition, turning the car on. He rested his hands on the steering wheel, just thinking.

"Damn, I should've fought the boy back, I would've broken that the kid's spine." Danny said before pulling out of the parking space, driving out the parking lot and down the street.

Jason ran a little further, finally letting Jill down. Jill stood up and laughed, she shouldn't be laughing, knowing that Danny was fully capable of killing Jason, but she couldn't help but laugh at the situation.

"You really shouldn't of punched him." Jill said, calming herself down.

"What was I suppose to do? Let him take you? No thanks." Jason said, looking at Jill.

"Where are we anyway?" Jill asked. They ended up in front of someone's house.

"My house." Jason said, walking down the path up to the door. Jill followed him, watching him pull out his keys and unlock the front door. He opened it, letting Jill go in first. As Jill entered, she scanned the house real fast, seeing no one in the living area or kitchen. "My parents aren't home." Jason said as he closed the door behind them.

"No?" Jill questioned, looking back at Jason.

"Gone for business." He said with a shrug.

"Got it." Jill nodded and walked toward the rooms. Jason walked behind her, grabbing her hand since she was going the wrong way, leading her to his room. Once entering, Jill day on his bed and sighed, "Danny is gonna kill me when I get home." Jill said, already thinking about the disappointed look on his face.

"Not if you don't go back." Jason said and sat next to Jill. Jill looked up at him, and shook her head.

"I do have to go back, that's my home." She said, admiring the boy's room. It was cute. Had an almost aesthetic feel to it. The walls were an indigo colour. There were christmas lights around the room, which he turned on instead of the ceiling fan light. Jill noticed the mess in the corner of the room, a desk with paint and markers on it, seeing all kinds of drawings and paintings. She looked back at Jason, "So.."

Jason smiled and held the girl's hand, "Wanna watch a movie?" He asked, and Jill just nodded. Her phone was going off, seeing texts from Danny. She didn't bother to respond, turning her phone off. Jason turned on the TV, putting Netflix on. "What movie do you wanna watch?"

"I don't really care," Jill said.

"Marvel fan?"

Jill gasped, "Yes! Let's watch uhh, guardians of the galaxies I guess."

"Sounds good to me." Jason said before turning the movie on, and laying back on the bed, Jill doing the same.

Scout made his way back to the van, Matt and Taylor just talking now. Scout opened the back door and climbed in, "Let's go." Scout said.

Matt rolled his eyes, "Fine." He said and out the keys in. He turned on the car and drove off of campus, back toward the house. Once arriving, Matt turned off the car and exited the van. Taylor and Scout exciting too. They closed their doors and walked into the house.

"Hey fuckers-." Scout said as he entered, looking at everyone on the couch.

Matt groaned, "Where's Jill this time?"

"Off with a boy!" Abby said, giggling in the process.

"Oh, whatever, I'll be asleep." Matt said as he walked into his room. Scout and Taylor sat on the couch.

"What boy?" Taylor asked.

"Jason." Scout said, "He's in our theatre class."

"So, you know him?" Danny asked.

"Nope, just know he's in my class." Scout said.

They sighed, "Maybe we should just, worry about it in the morning, when it's not almost midnight and we're all tired." Etai said before standing up, "Goodnight." He said and walked to his room.

"He's right." Taylor said, standing up as well. She sighed before walking away, into her room, Abby following her. Danny, Nicole, and Scout stood up as well.

"Wait- where's Rex?" Scout suddenly asked.

"Oh shit." Danny said before pulling out his phone, calling the Canadian.

Nicole kissed Danny on the cheek, "I'm gonna go home," She said before grabbing her keys off the coffee table and leaving the house.

"Later Nicole." Danny said, taking his hat back before she left, making her laugh.

The line would ring a couple times before going to his voicemail. 'Stop calling me.' The voicemail said. Danny shrugged and hung up.

"Great, we're missing two people in the household." Danny said, running his fingers through his hair. He was clearly stressed. He didn't want the two to be hurt or worse.

"It's alright Danny, I'm sure they're fine." Scout said, "I think Rex left with that Kath girl, and Jill's smart enough to not kill hers-." Scout stopped, not finishing his sentence.

"I'm sure you're right." Danny said, barely relaxing himself. He sighed before walking to his room, "Night Scout."

"Night Danny."
