Chapter Eighteen

Rex’s bar on a Friday night was always bustling. People filled the booths laughing and drinking while others surrounded the four pool tables by the entrance, doing their best to pocket the balls while inebriated and laughing when they failed utterly.

It wasn’t often that I wandered into the bar when it was open. It usually made me anxious to be in a room packed full of so many people, but tonight was special.

Juneau had finally convinced Rex and Doc to let her sit and watch how the bar looked when it was full. It had taken wheedling, cajoling and a little bit of a fit being thrown for them to finally agree and even then we had a long list of rules to follow.

She wasn’t allowed to leave the table next to the door that led into the house, I had to sit near her the entire time, and if anyone approached our table we were to go inside the house immediately.

Juneau had agreed, her eyes sparkling with the idea of a new experience. I knew better, the bar experience was… not my favorite. But I had noise canceling headphones for both of us and enough TV shows queued up on my laptop to fill the night in case she got bored.

Juneau wasn’t bored, far from it actually. She completely was enamored by all of the people laughing and having fun, her eyes glued to them as they roared with laughter or danced next to the jukebox.

“I’ve never seen anything like it,” she half-shouted into my ear as a group of older men took a group-shot of whiskey at the bar top.

‘It’s the same old thing to me,’ I signed slowly with a little eye roll. ‘Drunk guys spend their night getting wasted only to do the same thing all over again tomorrow.’

Her eyes watched my hands move and she grinned when I finished. She was getting much better at sign language, so much so that I found myself communicating more and more with her that way rather than typing things out on my phone.

“I always wondered what Timothy got up to at night. Especially when his idiot friends had to drag him home at the end of the evening,” she said, a fond smile on her face as she reminisced. “Now I see what all the fuss was about.”

The same feeling I always got when she talked about the past filled my chest. A week had passed since the huge storm that had ended with all of us inside of Juneau’s nest. Ever since then I found myself sneaking into her nest after the guys fell asleep just to be closer to her.

More often than not I found Bat already passed out next to her, sleeping as soundly as a baby amongst her mounds of blankets and pillows. There was a level of peace to Bat that I wasn’t used to seeing. He still muttered to himself sometimes, and still popped out of shadowy corners to scare the shit out of me, but he didn’t seem so tortured now.
