"If there were two or more ... you know if you actually listened and got out of my face you might stop to think that I did have the walkie talkie with me." He glared at Bret.

Shonnalen awakened and sat up. She felt horrible, but raised voices from downstares caught her attention. She stood shakealy and pulled on her robe. She walked to the door and keeping a hand in the railing walked to the stares. "Boys!" SHe said getting their attention. "Stop it ... please." Her head gave a sharp throb and she sank to her knees.

Bret was about to yell again when shonnalen came down. he frowned and calmed himself. he walked over to her. " forgive me.." he said beside her not looking into her face.
Bret walked past Brendon and trudy's room to his own room.

Trudy was in her room with ace. she had let a few tears fall but stopped them when ace came in.
" you can sleep in here with me and Brendon tonight. i hope you dont mind sharing a bed with me." she tried to smile. she saw Bret walk by, she frowned and looked down.
Bret sighed. he was going to have to apologize to her too.
he went to bed.

Shonnalen carefully stood back up and leaned against the railing for a moment.

Brendon walked up and put an arm around her waist. "Come on." He helped her back to her room, then went to the room he shaired with trudy. He knocked on the wall. "I hope every one's decent because I'm comming in." He batted aside the sheet they used as a door and stepped inside.

Trudy was putting on a shirt when he came in. " well i was about to say something but you didnt wait for a reply." she said laughing.

Ace watched the two she figured they were together.

Trudy walked over to Brendon and said in a soft voice. " you ok?" she asked taking his hand for a moment. " Bret didnt, hit you or anything right?" she asked.

"Trudy ... If he had fit me you would know, and I would not be the only one with battle scars to show for it." Brendon said as he ran a hand down her arm. He looked over at Ace and smiled as if to say 'ooo lala' He let go of Trudy's hand and pulled off his hoodie and shirt.

Trudy giggled then grimced. " my arm.." she lifted her sleeve and showed him the now purple bruise.
" please. dont do anything. " she touched his now naked chest.

Brendon covered her hand with his, but looked away a muscle in his jaw twitching. "If he ever ... leave another mark on you ..." He let the sentence hang unfinished, then carefully leaned down and brushed a light kiss against the brused skin.

_________________

Trudy smiled. " goodnight brendon." she said as she walked twards her side of the room.

Ace was already in bed asleep.
Trudy sighed. she would have to tell shonnalen about this new girl and figure out why and who she was running from.
for the meantime. she closed her eyes and slept.

"Night." Brendon said walking over to turn out the light. Once that was done he threw himself down on his bed.

_________________

the next day Trudy was not the first one awake for once. nor was Ace awake.
Bret was the one up this time. he was in the kitchen making a cup of coffee for himself. something they found rarely but he happend to find a trader trading an instant coffee pack for a knife. so Bret went for it and traded it.

Shonnalen woke up feeling like she had been run over by a entire caravan of trucks. She somehow managed to drag herself from bed and dressed in a short black skirt and black strapless tanktop the showed her middle and the blue butterfly tatooed on her lower back. She pulled her hair back and put on makeup effectively covering any sign that she wasn't feeling well. She smiled and walked out of her bedroom and toward the kitchen. "Hey you're up early." She said smileing at Bret.

_________________

Bret looked over at her. " mmhm..." he looked back at his coffee. she probably thought he should leave or something like that. he still felt bad. he sipped his coffee.

"Gee you seem so happy to see me ... " She walked over and poured herself a cup of the coffe he had made and sipped it. She liked the bitter flavor of the black coffe and savored it for a moment. She opened her eyes and smiled at him again. "Thanks for the coffee."

Bret looked over." your welcome. and i am happy to see you." he smiled a little. "sorry about yesterday. " he said softly.

Trudy woke up and rolled over looking at brendon sleeping across the room.

Shonnalen shook her head. "Hey ... don't worry about yesterday ... it seems everyone is on edge these days." She set her cup down and pushed herself up onto the counter. "SO ... got any plans for today?" She asked picking up her coffee again.

Brendon had kicked his blankets off and slept on his stomach with his hands tucked under his pillow unaware that Trudy was awake. In his mind he was a small child once again. His arm hurt, but he didn't dare look at it. Shonnalen held him in one arm telling him to hold on tightly. Her other hand held a silver hand gun and they ran. Brendon sat up with jerk nearly toppling from the bed.

_________________

Trudy saw him jerk up. she quietly got out of bed and walked over to him. " brendon? you alright?" she asked.

Bret sighed. he was forgiven...once again, he loved this girl. " nope, you?" she asked.
