BIG BULLY 5

Noah’s pov:

************************

The movie had just ended, I haven't heard from april in a while. I guess she just was really interested in the movie.i looked down to see what april was doing and there she was, asleep on my leg leaning against my waist, half eaten marshmallow still in hand. She was so cute when she slept. I scooped her up in one hand and brought her to my face. She looked so peaceful when she slept, not fear in her face, no anger either.

She looked almost happy even. ‘I wonder what she's dreaming about?’ I thought as I lowered her to my chest pocket so I could pick up all the snacks.

Once all the snacks were put away I walked back to my room so I could get some shut eye as well. I put her on my nightstand to go get dressed in pajamas, I changed into a pair of black shorts and still no shirt. Once I got back I sat in my bed and gently picked up april. I know she didn't enjoy sleeping on my chest but I really didn't have anywhere else I could put her without another incident like this morning. I placed her back on my chest this time resting both hands atop her sleeping to make sure I would actually wake up before she could hide. I doubt she would let herself be found again, not that she didn't put up a fight the first time. I looked at the tiny bite mark that I had mostly forgotten about, it didn't really hurt and it had stopped shortly after I was bit. I closed my eyes and waited for sleep to take me, but after forty minutes I was doubting I would be able to sleep at all tonight. I decided to think about what I was going to do tomorrow. Tomorrow was the last day of the weekend and I had no idea what I would do when I had to go to school.

I know I can't leave her here unsupervised, for more than one reason. I thought of bringing her back to the school and letting her go back to her old life but I really didn't want her to just disappear like she was never there. Also I need to at least know what she is, are there more of her? Is she just a mutated human? What if I'm keeping her from her family? What if they were worried sick about her? I was spiraling at this point. Wait, if she had family in the building she would have told me by now. But what if she just wanted to protect them from being found as well?

Luckily I had officially tired my brain out and fell asleep before I could spiral even more than I already had. Finally sweet,sweet,sleep took me.

I woke up to little hands pushing on my chest, I looked down to see april half way out from under my hands. Pulling herself out. “Not this time.”I said as I moved one of my hands up and pulled her right back under my hands. “Hey!” she said annoyed. “Sorry but I don't feel like moving my whole bed again today.” I smirked at her annoyed face. I picked her off my chest and sat up with her cupped in both palms. “What would you like to do today?” i asked april, she made a fake thinking face

“ Do you have anything in mind?” I asked as I stood up and walked over to my desk.

I placed April down and went to walk away when I heard her tiny voice, “w-wait! Can I have more of those ‘marshmallows’ I think you called them?” she asked, sounding a bit embarrassed. I “sure!” I replied , chuckling to myself. I Walked over to the bathroom to shower, I knew she couldn't get down from my desk but I still put a shirt under the door just in case. i would rather she be running around my room, not my house. I closed the bathroom door and turned on the shower.

Once I got into the shower I let out a long sigh, ‘do I really have to let April go back to school?’ I thought to myself as I grabbed my loofa. ‘No it would be cruel to keep her here against her will any longer’ i decided. While I didn't want to say goodbye to my one friend, I felt like we wouldn’t be real friends if she wasnt free to leave.Thats when I heard it, the front door opening and the sounds of footsteps coming close to my room.

I turned off the shower when I heard the door opening and a familiar voice, “noah? Where are you? Your big brother comes home from college for the first time in months and you don't even say hi.” he said in a mock pout.’he wasn’t supposed to be here until tonight!?’ I thought as I quickly got dressed and went to open the door just in time to hear a gasp and a tiny shriek.

He found april.

I swung the door open to see him standing there with the most surprised face while staring right at the terrified looking april. “Jayden!” I said sharply and he jumped, “it's not what it looks like!” i said as he turned around to face me. “It looks like you have a tiny girl in your room!” he said “ok, then it’s exactly what it looks like. But what are you doing here anyway!?” I asked , realizing he was right. “After all this time not even a ‘Jayden i missed you’ or a ‘welcome home!’,” he smirked. “Welcome home Jayden.” I said in the flattest voice possible. I looked back at April only to see she wasn't there. I must’ve been staring in disbelief for a while because Jayden turned too. “It's ok, um miss?” he started “april. Her name is april. Now leave her alone.” “no. I want her to see she has no reason to be scared of me. You are a different story.” he said with a stern voice.

“It's ok april, you don't need to come out if you don't want to. Just know I wont hurt you if that's what you think.” he said in a quiet yet calming voice. I saw April look out from behind a book that was on my desk with an uneasy/suspicious look. “Why don't we talk in the living room?” I asked and reached for april.

Jayden slapped my hand and I heard April giggle. “Did you ask if she wants to be held? I’m assuming she can talk if you know her name?” he said as he turned to April, “would you like me to carry you to the living room?” he asked, when she slowly nodded he laid a hand out flat so she could step onto it, she looked surprised at this gesture.

April’s pov:

********************************

I braced myself to be grabbed in a fist like Noah does but the human (whose name I think was Jayden) had just placed a flat hand in front of me. I was so confused, I looked up at him in confusion. “I'm not going to just grab you, that would be rude.” he said as he looked from his hand to me. I slowly wobbled on. I don’t know why but this human seemed a little more gentle than noah.

He laughed a bit when I stumbled on the uneven surface that was his hand. I looked over to noah just to see him glaring daggers at jayden. He looked almost jealous. Was he jealous that Jaden was holding me and not him? I laughed a little at his expression.

“I’m going to lift my hand now, ok?” asked jaden. I nodded and his hand began to lift up towards his chest.

We walked to the semi familiar living room. They both sat down and looked at each other. Noah had an angry look on his face while Jaden had a bemused smirk. “Lets go to the kitchen april. And not with jaden.” said noah. I would’ve said no but I really didn’t want Noah's anger directed at me. Noah reached out and gently scooped me up. Wordlessly we walked to the kitchen and he opened what I assumed was the pantry and grabbed a bag of marshmallows, ‘yes!’ I thought as he grabbed one and handed it to me. “You never want me to hold you, so why are you k with it when you have never met him before?’ asked Noah as I took the marshmallow from his fingers. “Well you never ask if I want to be held. He did.'' I replied simply. Noah looked annoyed but couldn’t argue. We walked back to the couch and sat down. “Who would you like to sit with?” asked jaden, “neither. I can sit on the coffee table.” I replied looking at Noah as if to tell him ‘put me down’ he looked from me to jaden and placed me on the coffee table. '`Now explain why you have a terrified tiny girl in your room?” said Jaden with annoyance lacing his voice. Thankfully his annoyance was towards Noah and not me that would have been scary. Jaden was at least a head taller than Noah and he looked built.

Like not a body builder built but could pin almost anyone to a wall built.

Noah started to explain everything that had happened so far since we’ve met. (leaving out the part where he made me sleep on his chest.) I wasn't listening though, I was too busy nibbling on my marshmallow.and thinking. After a while Noah had finished his story and I had almost finished my marshmallow. “So basically you kidnapped a borrower?” said jaden. I froze at his words. ‘How did he know!?’.

I was slightly freaking out inside but I put on a poker face and looked at the two giants.

“‘B-borrower?” I hated that I stuttered while asking but I hoped he would explain how he knew. “You know, like those tiny people from the movie?” he asked. ‘Well at least he doesn't know what I am.’ i thought ‘if he knew what i was he would know others of my kind existed and that would be horrible.’

“Unless you are a borrower,” he said amused “n-no i’m n-not” i said as nervous sweat started to form on my forehead. “Relax, I'm kidding,” he said with a chuckle. “What are you anyway?” he asked, leaning towards me a bit.

“Y-you don’t need to know that!” I yelled, he looked a bit taken aback. “You're feisty aren't you?” he said with a bemused smirk returning to his face. ‘Is he ever not smirking?’ “why not?” Jaden asked, “because what I am has nothing to do with you!” i yelled a little angry now, they can take my freedom but they cant make me expose my whole species. Noah was smirking too now, which was never a good sign. “I think I know how to get it out of you.” he said as he reached a hand towards me.

I knew immediately what he was planning. I ran to the other side of the table only to be forced to stop in my tracks by Noah grabbing the back of my shirt. I struggled to get out of his grip as he lifted me off the ground and dropped me off on his other hand.

Noah turned and whispered in Jaden's ear. I didn't hear much but I definitely heard one word. Tickle. That's when i knew i had to get out of there, i tried to jump off the side of Noah’s hand and onto the couch but his other hand caught me and handed me over to Jaden. Oh, no. I tried to back away from Jaden as his face was so close. I backed up into a wall of fingers.
