opposite side. Brandon and I returned to our places after watching the show from the side of the staircase railing.
“I think she has a small crush,” Brandon finally said.
“Ya think?” I snickered.
“How on earth does she think that’s gonna work?”
“That is where we’re on even ground. And she better not even think about asking to change him.”
Brandon almost choked; he stood up and grabbed his chest then broke down laughing. Bo came back in with a huge piece of lumber, wanting to know what was going on. I don’t think that either of us could have explained it at that moment. About that time the others came out of the kitchen holding glasses of iced tea. Sydney walked up and held one out to me, causing me to look back at Derek who shrugged his shoulders. I took it and thanked him. He looked just as pleased as a person could get with themselves and I felt about as stupid. Ashley gave Bo a glass, and Derek handed Brandon one. Derek being the, not-so-sharp-one, turned the glass up and drank half of its contents.
“That’s not bad, Sydney,” Derek said, as a faint color of green covered his face.
“You all right, Derek? You don’t look so good,” Brandon asked.
“My stomach feels a lit…”
Derek dropped the glass and hit the front door running.
I handed my glass back to Sydney telling him to stay put, without even realizing that I had just done it with my mind. When I looked back into the house all that I saw was Sydney holding four glasses the best that he could, because each of us were surrounding, Derek. His body was rejecting the fluid violently and he was acting like it was causing him pain.
“He’s gonna need to feed. Do you two think you can go out and find us something?” I asked Bo and Brandon.
“I saw a farm a few miles back,” Bo replied.
“Just take what you have to. We don’t want to take too much from one place,” I explained as I helped Derek to his feet. “Glad we didn’t feed yet, he would have wasted it all.”
“Can I help?” Sydney called out.
“No. Everything’s fine,” I replied. “Ashley, take Sydney to the kitchen. I’ll get Derek downstairs to his room.”
“Okay. Is he gonna be alright?”
“He’ll be fine. I took in a lot of water once,” I replied pulling Derek’s arm over my shoulder. “I can’t believe you drank that like that.”
“Trust me, I won’t do it again,” Derek moaned.
“Yeah, he’s fine,” Ashley chuckled. “I’ll take care of Sydney.”
I waited until she sprinted into the house and as soon as they disappeared into the kitchen, I helped Derek past the staircase and down the hall to the left, and into the basement. He was walking more prone by the time we made it to our room, but his color was still a much more pale color than he normally was. I pulled the cover back and sat him on the side of the bed and took off his shoes.
“I remember when my ma use to take off my shoes.”
“You just need to rest. I’ll bring you something to eat as soon as they get back.”
“Brandon doesn’t think that I remember, but I do. She was beautiful. I can still see their coffins as we were being pulled out of the room by the people from the orphanage. I know he always likes to think that we never really had folks, but we did, Renee. They just died, got killed somehow.”
“I’m sorry, Derek. That must have been horrible.”
“Brandon has always been there for me. When they tried to separate us, he took me and ran away. We’ve been running ever since.”
“Until now that is. You will never have to run again. We’ll take care of each other from now on.”
“You’re the closest thing that I’ve had to a ma, since I can hardly remember. I know you’re not old enough, but I’m proud to be your kid.”
“And I’m proud to call you mine,” I replied leaning in and taking him into my arms. “Now, you lay down. I’m gonna go check on the others.”
He agreed, so I went back upstairs. I found Ashley and Sydney
