"Listen to me very carefully," He said after putting me against the wall.
"I cannot breathe without breathing in your air."
"I cannot hear without listening to the sound of your voice."
"I cannot live without feeling your heartbeat next to mine."

We entered a huge room that had a beautiful gigantic black and white painting of a pretty woman on the wall. She had a crown on, a sash and she was gorgeous. The room was Gold and an off white color with pink undertones.

"This room is beautiful!" I yelled.
"I never knew you guys were rich." I mumbled.
"I'm glad you like it." Pete said as he began setting things up for me.
"Who's the pretty lady in the picture? One of your girlfriends?" I mocked.
Pete then laughed and walked over to dust the painting off.
"No, it's my mom." He said slowly.
I then quickly shut down in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry I um.. Wow"
"It's fine.. My mother was beautiful, she was ahead of her time."

"Was?.. As in past tense?" I asked as I walked over and sat down on the bed.
Pete then sat down with me. "Yeah she um.. She passed before my dad did and it left him to take care of me and my brother on his own."
"This was her house and this is her room, she gave it to me right before she passed." he continued.
I then put my hand on Pete's shoulder so that he could feel more comfortable with opening up to me. "And then your dad passed away too. He was the Sheriff of Fourth street... Which left you, the oldest son.. In charge of taking over."
"Yeah Pete said softly."
Pete's eyes began watering , I could see him fighting back the tears.
He got up off of the bed and walked over to the doorway.
"I put a fresh towel and soap and hair products on the bed and everything else you would need will be in the bathroom. I'll meet you downstairs and If your still hungry I could make you something to eat."
