Janelle POV...
3 nights 2 days...or has it been three? It's officially 3 days, I think that's a accomplishment considering who my family is, which also makes it sad seeing who my family is again. But I mean come on, this is me we are talking about, some people can't even touch me when we are fighting. I sound so cocky I need to tone that down.
Khalil:Well hello sleepy head.
I rub my forehead and look over to him with squinted eyes.
Me:I'm only sleepy because I been crying over you ass.
Khalil:Yeah, I'd be dead a couple of times if it wasn't for you. Thank you.
Me:*smiles* No problem... Now were are we?
Khalil:ditching the car... Come on.
I stretch out and open the door before getting my bag and walking with him turning on my light, and look around.
Oh no.
Me:Khalil!
Khalil:Come on lazy ass.
I whine and stomp( run) to keep up with his marching footsteps.
A bajillion miles later...( prob 4)
I'm a little behind Khalil because honestly? I'm still tired and I feel worn out. I don't know why but I am, maybe I'm allergic to something out here.
Khalil:Come on Nell.
Me:Nope, Don't do that I just walked a bajillion miles with my feet, don't piss me off, I'm behind you.
He looks at something before getting on the train cart. I follow, this looks like one from Harry Potter... Just more condemned and less magical.
Me:What is this place?
Khalil:Uh, my apartment.
Me:Honestly? This is pretty cool.
Khalil:*scoffs* So full of it.
Me:Nah, come on you know me. You know I'm for all the outside of the box type stuff. This is neat... Wait... You drew all these?
Khalil:Come on don't act like I'm not the modern day Basquiat.
Me:I've never seen a picture of me.
Khalil:Because I didn't want you to get a big head.
Me:Too late! These are amazing! You even got every single freckle! It has so much detail, I mean I knew you draw but damn. What made you pick this place?
Khalil:Yeah, you know, I needed a place where no one could find me, a place away from Tobias. Besides, I've always liked trains. Ever since I was a kid I would watch Thomas the Tank Engine.
I smile then look at the green paint.
Me:Well, you could have asked for some help, because interior design is not your area of expertise.
We both laugh and I sit down continuing to look at the art.
Khalil:Okay, so you got jokes.
Me:One or two.

Khalil:So noodles in a cup or Ramen?
