   "I'm just going to say what we all are thinking, that movie was unrealistic." Camila remarks tossing away our popcorn. I could of ate the rest of that at home. She didn't even ask if I wanted it. 

      Mourning the popcorn I could of had I look at Camila; "Well it was a movie after all. Stuff like that don't happen in real life."

    Meanwhile, Axial who had been silent since the movie ended spoke up. "I think anything is possible at this point. Don't you believe in love?"

    Once again who knew Axial Greyson would ask such a question. Taking notes that she was secretly a romantic at heart. I guess we all had different sides to us.

     Before I could respond back to Axial, Camila cuts in; "Love is just a word to get what you want out of someone. It's just an illusion."

      Looking at Camila she looked sort of frustrated. I look over at Axial who also mirrored an frown.

     Deciding to defuse the tension I say, "It was just a rom com. I think everyone is entitled to there opinions."  I was trying be mutual like Switzerland.

      Both queen bees were glaring at each other like they could make each other explode on spot.

    Looking at my watch it read 10:30. Where I wasn't exactly sure what time dad wanted me home I was sure it wasn't this late.

    "Uh, guys I really need to get home." I start to fidget with my hands something I do out of nervousness.

    "I'll take you home." They both reply at the same time shifting their eyes on me.

 
   "Thanks for offer from both of you, but I brought my truck." Trying to quickly escape my hand didn't even graze the exit door of the movie theater.

     Both girls hands closed the door leaving me trapped and at their mercy.

   Camila was the first to speak, "Look I came here with you. It's only fair I leave with you." Camila smirks at me.  She did have a point we did arrive together.

    Axial just stares at me intently debating what she was going to say. Her ocean blue eyes searched my almond ones almost waiting on me to say something to her first.

  "I have a confession." Axial states removing her hand from the door and crosses them.

    Both Camila and I look at her with slight curiosity waiting for her to continue.

   "I walked here."  Axial mumbles then averts her eyes from us.

You really couldn't go off appearance of others. I knew my eyes looked like I wanted to ask Axial a thousand questions.

    She walked to the movies in the dark. Didn't bother contacting Camila or I for a ride. That was very dangerous even if Axial was black belt in martial arts.  I knew she could carry herself well but that didn't help the uneasy feeling that crept in my stomach.

     "You walked here? In the dark by yourself?" Camila asks shockingly almost not believing what the raven hair girl confessed to us.

    Putting her hands in her leather jacket Axial adds; "I did. My motorcycle is in the shop getting repaired and I didn't want to bother you guys for a ride."

   That made sense wait what?! Her motorcycle I knew she radiated the bad girl image I just didn't realize she owned a motorcycle.

       "Guess it can't be helped. Evelyn and I will give you a ride home." Camila sighs not at all impressed with Axial.

    I never agreed to it. Camila just sort of took charge like she always did. Sometimes I felt like I needed to assert myself more when it came to her.

    "Okay everyone let's go." Being the gentle lady I am I open the passenger door for Camila and Axial. It was a tight squeeze because my poor old truck was a two door. It was a good thing these girls were skinny like models.

   Unlike me who was on the thicker side I needed a little more room. My thigh was slightly grazing Camilas who insisted on sitting next to me. 

     Cursing myself and my fat thighs.  Axial was glancing out the passenger window looking lost in her own thoughts.

    Making my way to the given address I've been given I pull up to an luxurious three story house. Of course Camila Steele lived in environment they oozed charm and wealth.

      "Well guys I had fun. Thanks for the lift Evelyn." Camila winks at me then blows a kiss. Yeah she definitely was a huge flirt I give her that.

    Axial hopped back in the passenger side cranks up my stereo tuning it to Coldplay: Fix you.

     I absolutely loved this song it was so beautiful. I could literally listen Coldplay all day.  Eyeing Axial who had a fixed from on her face I say: "You never gave me your address."

Avoiding eye contact with me she adds, "Just drop me off here." She point to a nearby bench. Did she really expect me to just drop her off at some sleazy bench in middle of the night?  That wasn't happening.

   "It's settle. You'll be staying with me for the night." I state trying to defuse the depressed atmosphere that was about to suffocate me.

   I didn't know where I found confidence to even suggest such a thing but it felt good. Guess Camila was rubbing off me just a little bit.

   Axial opens her mouth to speak then closes it. It was she wanted to speak a thousand words at once but couldn't.  Somethings bothering her. After being a shut in like me you picked up on peoples moods and facial expressions easily.

    I park my truck in the parking lot of my home.  Axial opens the passenger door and leans up against my truck waiting for me to get out. 

    There was so many things I didn't know about Axial. Something told me half of those things weren't any of my business.

   Opening the front door of the house I made sure to be quite didn't want to wake anyone up.  Using my stealthy ninja skills I tip toe towards my room only to be halted by a stern voice.

     In the dark sitting at the kitchen table was my mother who didn't look happy one bit. Oh no my mother was a sweetheart but she also had an intimidating demeanor when she wanted to.

      Well it was nice knowing everyone.

      "Do you have any idea what time it is?" Mom questions pointing to the clock that read 11:30.

"Time for me to apologize profusely and beg you for forgiveness?" I grovel rubbing the baseline of my neck.

     You pick and choose your battles. There was no battling mom always won. Axial who had been cowering behind me clutches the back of my shirt. 

      "Whose that?" Mom curiously asks now eyeing Axial.

      "This is Axial Greyson. We recently became acquainted she and Camila was at the movies with me." I explain hoping I earned some points with mom avoiding her wrath.

    Mom eyes Axial recognition registering in her eyes. "Hey don't I know you?"

    Avoiding moms stare Axial tugs at shirt signaling me to my room.  I stare at Axial almost confused like by her actions.

   Mom sensing she made my guest a little uneasy sighs. "It can't be helped. It's late you girls should head bed, no funny business though." She winks at me then saunters off to bed. That old woman could be a pervert some times.

    Now red as a tomato I open my bedroom door and let Axial in. I never had anyone over in my room before it was foreign having any one other Karin or snowflake in here.
     I didn't count Karin because he is my childhood best friend.

      Axial shrugs off her leather jacket placing in on my desk chair. Her eyes begin to wonder around my room taking everything in. Which if you wanted honesty all I had a huge bookshelves full of books I've read like seven time.  Then I had a small computer for my games and writing.

       "Your rooms is cozy." Axial thoughtfully states making herself comfy on my bed. Oh ok just sit on my bed it's all cool.

      I shrug, "It's small but I love it. It's my little sanctuary away from everything." 

     Axial slight smiles turns into a frown. I wanted to ask her what was bothering her. I could sense something was gnawing at her ever since the movies.   Never was I the type to pry I always respected peoples privacy.

     "Must be nice." I wanted to ask her what she meant but her eyes were pleading with me begging me not to ask any questions.

   "It is." I make my way over to my closet shuffling around to find a spare blanket. What was you guys thinking that I was going sleep in same bed of an hot queen bee?

   "What are you doing?" Axial makes her way over towards me seeing my mess of a closet. Yes I wasn't the neatest person when it came to organization.

   "Getting me a blanket." I pull out a old fuzzy blanket that seen better days. Eyeing it cautiously I shake it because you never know where spiders maybe lurking.

     "First that thing needs thrown in the washer, second there is room for two of us on that huge bed of yours." Axial suggests placing her arm on my shoulder.

      It felt warm her hands on my shoulder. I still wasn't very use to human contact it still made me really nervous. Slowly withdrawing myself from her touch I sit up.

   "Okay, if it's okay with you."  I make my way to my bed and fluff out one out of eight pillows I slept with. 

    "It's okay with me. Why do you sleep with so many pillows?" Axial questions eyeing the multiple pillows.

    "For this purpose." Before she even got a chance to ask her question I chug a pillow at her. To say she was shock would be accurate.

   Grabbing the thrown pillow with ease Axial eyes me. "You know Winters, I'm an all star athlete right?"

    "Pillow fighting has nothing to do with your physical physique here." I shrug chugging another pillow at her. 

       I didn't know where the burst of confidence came from. All I knew was I was enjoying flinging pillows at Axial Greyson.

     Flinging a pillow back at me Axial remarks, "Don't pick a fight, you'll know your loose." 

    The pillow made impact with my head. I never was good at physical dodging. I really sucked when it came to physical stuff. I couldn't even do one push up.

     Axial looked like she done a thousand push ups before starting her day. She had ripped arms, toned legs and her physique suggested she had abs.  How could someone like Axial not have abs?

    Noticing me in a dazed like state Axial throws another pillow at me this time hitting my stomach.  Blinking I look at her and actually take her in.

     Her long raven hair was slightly disheveled from our little pillow fight. Beads of sweat were actually forming on her forehead slowly traveling down her neck to her... it was going be a long night.
