“So, what’s up, mom?” I asked while sitting on the couch. My mom had waited until it was night time to talk to me. She told me she didn’t want my dad home. My dad was at a meeting.

“You never told me you didn’t apply for college!” my mom said.

“Who told you?” I asked.

“Your brother, but that’s not important. Now, now don’t get mad at him. I forced it out of him. Anyways, what do you plan on doing with your future? You can’t have a good life without getting proper education!”

“Mom, chill out! I think you’re overreacting, and if you haven’t already noticed, I don’t have a superb life! I can die any second by a freaking demon! How is that fair? Why are we the ones who can see demons, and who has the responsibility to kill them? How can I pull off college with this job?” I exclaimed pissed off.

“You could at least try! Your father and I did, now we work and we kill demons as well!”

“But you have no time for your kids or anything at all!” I yelled standing up.

“You’re lucky your father is not home right now. He would’ve gotten so angry with your rude attitude!”

“You know what, mom. I can go to a freaking community college if you want. Just shut up, and don’t lecture me!”

“Excuse me?! Are you hearing yourself? You know, ever since you’ve been dating that boy, you’ve become more… rebellious. Plus, I don’t want you to go to community college! Amy, you are smart, use it!”

“Do not bring Adrian into this!” I yelled and ran upstairs to my room. I was so pissed off. (Looking back on my old problems they seem funny compared to now.) My hands were literary shaking. I don’t even know why I’m so mad. You know what, I can’t stay here tonight. I grabbed my backpack, and emptied out the stuff from school. Yes, I still have them. I was too lazy to empty it out. I put overnight essentials in the bag, and swung it over my shoulder. I made sure I had my stake and my phone, and I wore a sweater. It was most likely chilly out, and I had changed into shorts and a tank top. I didn’t feel like changing again. Right as I opened the window and I was about to climb down-I’ve done this before- I heard a knocking on the door.

“Crap,” I muttered, and took off my backpack.

“Uh, who is it?” I asked.

“It’s me,” I heard my brother say. I went and opened the door and he walked in.

“Aiden? What are you doing here?” I asked.

“I wanted to apologize for telling Mom,” he said looking down.

“It’s cool dude. No problem,” I said, because he looked so innocent and sorry. He snorted.

“No problem? Are you serious, sis? I could hear the shouting from my room.” I chuckled nervously.

“Anyways thanks for apologizing, I appreciate it,” I said, and I meant it. I mean, my brother was never nice to me, and I wasn’t nice to him either so this was a nice change.

“You’re welcome. I don’t think it matters, but I agree with you. Mom kind of overreacted, but you weren’t so calm either,” he said. I smacked his arm playfully. He chuckled and walked out. He made me feel better, but I’m still not staying here. I climbed down the window, and started walking away from my house. Danni lives on the same street as me, but her parents are like best friends with my parents, so that’s out of the question. Adrian lives too far for me to walk. I guess I’ll just go to Elysia’s house, or Sam’s house.  They live on the same street.

Hey you home?

I sent the text to Elysia.

No I’m not my dad’s band got a gig at this club so me and Alan are in the car going there. I got a fake I.D and everything! Why?

I sighed and texted back.

Nothing important.

I sent a text to Sam, also. She replied a couple minutes later.

I’m not home. My dad decided we need “family bonding time.”It’s horrible DX

Great, no one is home. I turned around ready to walk back home when I crashed into someone.

“Um, sorry,” I said as I started walking away. The person grabbed my arm.

“It’s ok,” he smiled and pulled me towards him. What the hell? He reeked of alcohol. I pushed him away.

“Leave me alone,” I said calmly. I didn’t feel like beating anyone up, tonight.

“Nope,” he said and came close to me again.

“Fine, you asked for it,” I said and punched his face. He yelled and tried to punch me, but I grabbed his hand and twisted his arm. I threw him on the ground, and stomped on his groin. The guy yelled in pain. I think that was going a bit far, but I was pissed.

“Freaking idiot,” I muttered, and started walking away.

“Hey! The person you beat up was our bro!” I heard someone say. I looked and saw four huge guys glaring at me.

“Listen guys, I was just protecting myself,” I said nervously. There’s no way I can handle four of them. I could handle two, but not four. They started getting closer, as I was slowly walking away, backwards. I’m going to run. As I was walking away backwards, I hit something. I turned around and saw Mikey.

“Need help?” he smirked.

“Yes,” I said putting aside my embarrassment. Mikey attacked two of the dudes, while I attacked the other two. After we beat them up, Mikey and I started walking away.

“Well, I guess I should thank you,” I said.

“You’re welcome. By the way, did you see how I kicked those dudes’ asses and saved your ass? I was so awesome!” he said.

“Hey! I got the other two, and another one before you came!” I said.

“Yeah, yeah, whatever, so what are you doing outside in the middle of the night?” Mikey asked.

“Um, I didn’t feel like staying home, so I was going to go to either Elysia’s house or Sam’s, but they’re not home. I feel kind of homeless. By the way, why were you outside?” I asked.

“I took out the trash, and then I saw you. Just stay at my place,” Mikey said. I stopped and stared at him.

“What?” he asked.

“For real’s? What’s the catch?” I asked suspiciously.

“No, for fakes, of course, for real’s. No catch, can’t I help out a friend?” he said.

“Wow, you aren’t as bad as I thought,” I said.

“Neither are you, little hunter.”

*******

Mikey lives in a small apartment with the living room and kitchen together, his room, and the bathroom.

“Um, make yourself at home?” he said, but it sounded more like a question.

“Wow, that was awkward,” I said.

“Yeah, it was. I think I should stop this whole nice thing towards you. It’s weird,” he said and I chuckled.

“I’ll get you sheets and a pillow so you can sleep here on the couch,” he said and went to his room. While he was in his room, I got a text from Elysia.

I’m in the clubs bathroom right now what’s wrong dude?

I sighed and texted back.

I had a fight with my mom so I wanted a place to stay but you guys weren’t home.

Aww I’m so sorry DX wait where are you right now?

Err… long story short-at mikey’s apartment

I didn’t know if she would be ok with that. What if she got mad? What if,-my thoughts were interrupted by my phone vibrating.

Ahaha, you serious? That’s cool. Hey! Maybe I’ll come too: D

Please do :D

I sighed in relief. Mikey came back with my bed stuff, and put it on the couch.

“Thanks dude,” I said. He nodded and sat on the other couch opening the TV.

“Elysia said she might come too,” I said.

“Really? I missed her,” he said.

“You just saw her today!” I said.

“Your point?”

“Aw, someone’s in love,” I teased. Mikey blushed. Like, he actually blushed.

I was too shocked to say anything, so I went to the bathroom, and changed into my pajamas. I laid the sheets, pillow, and blanket on the couch, and I lay on top of it. I took out my laptop from my backpack, and opened it.

“You brought your laptop with you?” he asked.

“Yes, I love my laptop,” I said and pulled my attention back to my laptop. I put my earphones in, and listened to music while on Tumblr. After an hour or so, I closed my laptop and looked to the couch Mikey was on. I chuckled when I saw that he had fallen asleep. I got up and kneeled down so I was at his face level. I poked his cheek. He grumbled and swatted my hand away. I snickered, and grabbed my phone taking a picture of him. I kept poking him.

“What the hell?” he said.

“You fell asleep on the couch, dude,” I said. He rubbed his eyes and stood up.

“Oh,” he said, and closed the TV.

“Well, I guess I’ll sleep now,” Mikey said. The doorbell rang.

“I’ll get it,” I said and opened the door, and was attacked by Elysia. She got off me, and then attacked Mikey. Then they started making out. Gross. I threw a pillow at them. They separated and glared at me.

“Go get a room or something,” I said rolling my eyes.

“Gladly,” Elysia said and dragged Mikey to his room.

“Good luck on that sleeping idea!” I yelled at Mikey. I heard him chuckle.

*********

“A meeting is called for the demon hunters,” Elysia said. Then the scene changed, and I was at the demon hunters’ headquarters. I told John about my dream.

“You are a psychic!” he exclaimed.

I choked out, “What?” Then, Adrian popped out of nowhere.

“Amy! Thank god! Do you know what’s going on?” he asked hugging me.

“I have no clue,” I said confused. Was this a dream? It seemed too real.
