One of the Boys. *7*

Chapter 7

*Dyllan's POV*

I looked down at the beautiful creature laying across my chest and felt so lucky that she was laying on MY chest and not the idiot four rooms down's. I laid there just watching her sleep peacefully; her chest gently moved with every heavy breath that she took. She had a handful of my white pj shirt, my mom had brought me earlier that day, in her left hand and her face pressed slightly under my chin. I carefully brushed the strand of hair that had fallen in her face to behind her ear.

I gazed down at our still intertwined fingers. My hand looked almost as if it could eat hers; I couldn't help but chuckle at the image of my hand turning into a monster and eating her hand whole. I loved that her hands were freezing cold; those were my favorite kind of hands. My hands were always blazing hot and I loved when I could cool them down with someone's freezing hands. Her hand looked so slender and fragile, just like her; I was afraid that if I gripped it too tight it might shatter into a million pieces. Her nails were long and the red paint was all chipped; I rubbed my thumb gently against hers; the difference in our skin tones was actually quite comical. She was as white as paper and I, having my Portuguese blood, was a dark tan. I tightened my grip on her hand, enjoying every second of it; for I knew that as soon as she woke up she would let go.

God, it was no wonder that so many people liked her; I mean, what wasn't to like about her? She always spoke what was on her mind, never got embarrassed no matter how immature she acted, wasn't afraid of the girls in school who gave her glares of death, she was drop dead gorgeous no matter how much she denied it, she cared about everyone else more than herself, and so was so brave; her being able to continue her life with her parent's absence... well that's just one example of her bravery. It kills me how oblivious she was to all the guys, yeah she is friends with all the guys but more than half of them look at her as more than that... and she wonders why all the girls hate her.

I let out a slight chuckle that woke her by accident. She lifted her head up and looked at me with drowsy eyes, obviously still half asleep, "Stop moving... can't you see I'm tryin' to sleep here?" Was all she said before she drifted off back into a sweet deep sleep.

I swear, she's too cute for her own good. I leaned down, careful not to make any swift movements, and kissed her lightly on her forehead. I wrapped my arms around her waist and cuddled her close to me before falling back to sleep. If I could I would've had this moment last forever.

*Alex's POV*

I collapsed on the floor of the tree house; I remembered all of my memories I had in here. Jaylen would always take me here when we first became really close. We would lay on the ground and read off those quizzes you got in magazines that told you who you were supposed to marry and what kind of person you were; looking back at it, it all seemed kind of childish now, but we were in middle school, what do you expect? I searched my memories for more recent memories of singing Ke$ha songs at the top of our lungs while eating sour gummy worms and Mountain Dew.

I was instantly snapped out of my thoughts when I heard someone clear their throat. I turned around expecting to see Jaylen out of breath claiming to forget something, but instead was surprised to see, Jarren? What the hell is he doing here? I knew the answer to that question, "If you're looking for Jaylen she went to the hospital to visit Dyllan and Kevin."

He chuckled, which caught me off guard; what's so funny about a girl visiting guys in the hospital? "You know this isn't only Jay's place to think." So he wasn't looking for Jaylen? Why does that make me want to leap for joy? He sighed before collapsing on the black leather loveseat. I couldn't help but wonder, how the hell did they get all this stuff in here? Seriously! Like, zero space in the door way and big huge couch in the corner... I hadn't noticed I was off in random Alex land until Jarren chuckled. "You gonna be ok over there?"
