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?
