Lucas took me to his house, since I didn’t want to see my parents while I was still shaken up.

Once we were in his room, he told me that I should lie down and rest. Like a good girl, I did what I was told and felt better immediately. The warm blankets heated my body and took the chill out of my limbs.

He turned the lights off and started to leave. “No, can you stay with me? I need you.” My stomach lurched at the thought of being alone right now.

“Sure,” he said softly, lying down beside me.

The mattress squeaked under his weight. He lay on his back and pulled me over to him, placing my head on his chest. The sound of his heartbeat comforted me, until I heard an exaggerated sigh…and then another. By the third one, I knew that something was bothering him.

“What’s wrong?” I asked, staring at a framed picture hanging on the wall directly in front of me. It was a black-and-white photo of his parents. They were standing in front of the kitchen island with a bowl of what looked like chocolate cake mix in front of them. Karen was spreading some of the mix on Nick's nose with her finger and laughing, staring up into his face. You could feel the love and laughter emanating from the picture. It was amazing how he could capture emotions so beautifully.

“I knew this would happen, I should have stayed away. I shouldn’t have been so selfish,” he was mumbling quietly to himself.

I turned my attention away from the picture and looked up at him “Lucas, I don’t understand what you’re saying. But if you think this is your fault because of that dream you had weeks ago, then stop. It was my fault. I had my ear buds in, and everyone knows you don’t cross the street while wearing them. It was dangerous, and I will be more careful, so please don’t blame yourself, it has nothing to do with you.”

He stared into my eyes, and then finally nodded, kissing the top of my head. “You’re right; it was a stupid thing for you to do.”

I breathed a sigh of relief. “There you go, blame me, it was my fault.” I decided a subject change was in order. “I had an interesting talk with your brother today.”

“Did you now, what was it about?” He started to rub my shoulder.

“I told him that he should stop pretending to be a badass who doesn’t give a shit about anyone but himself.”

He laughed, very hard, a sound I had never heard from him before. When he finally stopped, he said, “So you noticed he isn’t really like that, did you?” He chuckled lightly. “Only you would have the nerve to stand up to him. I’m surprised he didn’t say anything to me. He wasn’t even in a bad mood when he came in for work. How did he take it?”

“He was mad at first, but he told me why he acted that way.
