Over the next to weeks the Family had gotten impossibly more protective over their youngest member.
Tensions were high inside the house for more than one reason.
First of all, school was starting in one meer week.
On top of that, certain people were beggining to realize certain feelings for each other.

Boone
These last two weeks have been surprisingly good. Me and Rogue have definitely gotten closer.
Like last night, we just hung out in my room and watched a movie. Such a simple thing, but it made me ridiculously happy.
"Got all your shopping done?"
I looked up to see Rogue taking a seat across from me coffee in hand. I was currently at the dining table ordering my last few things for school.
We had decided to do the rest of our shopping online after our..
Incident.
"Mostly, just need a pair of gym shorts and then I'm good." I said with a yawn.
"Suprised you aren't asleep honetsly." He chuckled.
"What? Why?" I asked.
"Its like ten"
I raised my eyebrows, I didn't think I had been up that late. Well It's not exactly late, but it is for me.
"I'm gonna watch some of my show, wanna join?" He asked nonchalantly.
I blushed faintly, nodding.
"Shut up." He snapped suddenly looking besides him.
He quickly looked back at me, "Not you, I'm sorry."
"It's fine." I assured him.
I knew from what people told me, the voices could get pretty bad. Try to bring him down in any way.
He must be so strong, to be able to get through his day with somebody constantly whispering insults in your ear.
I'd break down in the first hour.
He got up walking towards the stairs, I followed.
~~~~~
I was sitting on Rogues bed half asleep really, while Rogue watched his cheesy drama intently. His tv was set up on the wall across from his bed.
He glanced at me, "You asleep?"
"Mm.." I hummed letting my head loll to the side.
Boone
The guys really already fell asleep?
It's barely even eleven.
I nudged him, "You should probaly go lay down."
He muttered something before letting his eyes flutter shut again.
I sighed, mine as well let him sleep for a few minutes.
~~~~~
It was only about ten minutes before Boones eyes snapped open. He tensed up his eyes searching the room wildly.
"Uh you alright?" I asked.
He chuckled nervously, "Yeah..yeah I'm good."
"Nightmare?" I pried.
He nodded shyly.
"Do you get them alot?"
He nodded again rubbing the back of his neck.
"Did you get them alot at your other homes to?" I asked softly.
"Well..not my last one.." He trailed off.
"Do you mind me asking whats different?"
"Well..I..I usually didn't sleep alone at my last house." He said nervously.
"Girlfriend?" I asked.
"No.."
"Boyfriend?"
He nodded, "Yeah..but he did some shit I didn't like.. it caused a big deal and now I'm here."
I noticed how vauge he was being, but I decided not to pry further.
"So you have trouble sleeping alone."
He blushed looking down, "Yeah, but I should get over it soon enough."
"Well..until you do. You could sleep in here. Like I would crash on the floor and you could take my bed." I added the last part quickly.
"I mean, I don't want to take your bed away from you." He said quietly.
"I have an air mattress, it doesn't bother me." I assured him.
"That..would be nice." He admitted.
"Well, put whatever you want on Tv. Make yourself comfortable, I'll be right back with the air mattress." I saif getting up.

Rogue
I didn't mind giving up my bed if that meant he got some sleep.
You just wanna bang him don't you
I shook the words out of my head, it's not like that at all.
He's just gonna find out how messed up you are.
"Shut it.." I murmered.
But what if he doesn't want to be my friend anymore?
I mean..
What if he thinks I'm just a jerk or something.
What if he thinks I'm weird?
Suddenly I found myself wishing I had those contacts on me.
