The Protectors

Part 11

The Next Morning

Danny woke up going into the kitchen seeing Ella and Sora sitting not talking eating breakfast, when Ella looked over at Sora before they both burst into laughter, "Hahahahaha!"

"What's so funny?!" Danny asked quickly thinking something was wrong with his clothes or that something was on his face.

"Bro, we all heard you last night, you were very loud and these walls are very thin. Max must be very big down there if you know what I mean." Sora replied not even looking up from his food, still eating. Ella kept laughing until Danny finally stated, "At least I got some sexual activity unlike you two, when was the last time either of you had sex with someone." Danny looked at both of them while they went silent. "Thought so." Danny grabbed a few pieces of toast and some eggs heading back to his room where Max was still sleeping.

Just then Stella and Brooklyn came into the room feeling the awkwardness as Danny left the room, "What did we just walk into?" Brooklyn asked Stella quietly.

"No idea." responded Stella.

"Did you guys see on the schools website, prom is tonight?" Stella asked looking around the kitchen.

"No, you are the only one who is still wanting to go back to that place." Sora stated while standing up heading over to the sink to empty his bowl.

"So what, yeah, I do want to go back to school, I want to live a normal life and I want to be prom queen like I have always dreamed." Stella explained to the others while Ella looked over at Brooklyn mouthing, "She knows the whole school thinks she is a murder."

"Just let her have this moment, even though we can't go." Brooklyn told Ella without Stella seeing.

"We should go!" Stella cheered loudly, standing up going off without finishing her breakfast to excited for the prom that she can't exactly go to.

"Someone's gotta tell her she can't go...Or maybe we could just have our own prom, here, make it an annual thing." Brooklyn said looking around the room.

"That's not actually a bad idea, plus I could play my music and get some practice in." Sora replied.

"Then let's start getting it ready." Brooklyn stated while she smiled at Ella.

Hayden saw Malia walking down the hallway with a box of lights so he quickly ran over to help her, "I got it...where do we have to take these?" Hayden said while he took the heavy box from the girl.

"Down to the main room, Brooklyn is creating a prom for us. Just us and maybe a few people she trusts, outside of our friend group." Malia explained to Hayden while they continued walking down the hallway. Hayden turned to her, "Are you feeling overwhelmed by all this? If you need to take a break then I understand and I will take over for you."

Malia glared at Hayden and then Hayden added, "Sorry, I was just asking because I do care about you."

Malia was about to say something when Stella walked by looking confused. "What are you doing with those lights?" asked Stella curiously.

"Umm...they are for my room. I think they will look very pretty in the boring neutral colored room." Malia told Stella quickly making Stella leave still trying to figure out what was happening.

"WOW, that was close." Malia replies while Hayden and her continued walking.

Danny saw Logan punching a punching bag, so he went inside, with a coffee mug in hand. "Are you okay? Logie." Danny said making Logan stop turning quickly saying, "Don't call me that, we are older now, that nickname can die."
