That night I crawled into bed alone, letting the cool clean sheets on my skin I felt safe and at home, even as things around here didn’t quite feel like home should. It would be some time before today sunk in properly I decided as I stared up at a dark ceiling. My mind was reeling with the oddness of all those people we didn’t know - they had known our mother before we had even been born - showing up out of nowhere then disappearing as fast as they had come, was so strange.

I wondered who they were, and if perhaps it was all just a joke or if it had all even happened, then I thought about Jon and how he knew they were weird. He seemed to know more than I did. He always seemed to know more about what was going on than everyone else in the room, but he hid all his knowledge where no-one else would see it. He didn’t share a thing, which was frustrating.

Thinking about everything that I was missing, and about everything that didn’t make sense to me in that moment, Jon seemed to be at the center of it.

What was his deal?

I remembered all the odd things, then my mind moved elsewhere to everything else about Jon. I remembered how gorgeous he was, how strong and sexy and funny. How that accent sounded as it rung in my ears. I imagined what it would be like to have him whisper sweet nothings into my ear, I let that thought really sink in for a while.

I wanted him. I wanted him badly.

Today we had kissed. It had been wonderful. I wanted more, actually, after all the inkiness of the day and being unable to sleep now, I wanted his arms around me. When the thought occurred to me, I gave myself permission to follow it. Pulling back the covers, I put my legs over the side of the bed and stood up. I walked out into the hall and closed my bedroom door behind me. The guest room was just this way I thought as I walked along the hallway to his room and felt the flutter of butterflies in my tummy as I walked.

I knew in my heart that I wouldn’t be rejected if I crawled into bed beside Jon, but my body apparently still felt that I might as the butterflies fluttered in my tummy and my head swam. I knocked on his door gently and heard no response.

Creeping into his room I heard him move in his bed.

“Hello?” He asked the room, his voice croaky with sleep.

“It’s me.” I said in a voice that came out smaller than I meant it to, “can I sleep with you tonight? My head is all fucked up and I just, want to be held.” I told him.

“Yeah.” Came his voice and then I heard him tapping on the bed, “Come here!”

I moved over to the bed and felt my way into his arms.
