She sighed and pulled her knees to her chest. "I am thinking. I'm thinking that there's nothing I can do about it, there's nothing you can do about it, and there's nothing Landon can do about it. It's not my fault, it's not your fault, and it's not his fault. He and his father aren't the same. Just like me and mom." She sighed again. "I am thinking..."
-
"Okay, boo. Whatever you say. I just want what's best for you. Don't want you getting hurt, you know?" He turned to look at Landon, snorting when he saw the boy was cuddling a pillow in his sleep. "That's a keeper all right."
-
Ann frowned and looked away. "I already am hurt, silly.." She looked over and couldn't help chuckling. "Yeesss, well let's not discuss what you used to do in your sleep..."
-
"You know what I mean," Matt replied playfully, giving a small smile. He raised one eyebrow. "Oh really? Maybe we should discuss it, seeing as your a little stalker and watch me sleep, hmm?"
-
Ann tried to smile back but couldn't, remembering how she got hurt. She widened her eyes and gave a helpless gesture. "Hey, I only spent the night with you people, like, every week, what else is there to do?!" She chuckled a little.
-
"Well, watch the telly, read a book, go to sleep youself, maybe?" He said with a chuckle. The couch moved a little, and Matt turned his head to see Landon waking up. His brown hair was a little messy. Landon muttered something about it being too hot as he removed the t-shirt he was wearing, leaving himself in only the black skinny jeans. He rubbed his eyes a few times. "Where's Dad?" He asked softly, eyes going wide when he realized what he just said. "Father. Where's father?"
-
Ann laughed a little at Matt's suggestions. "Nah, that's boring!" Ann glanced over at Landon and stared at him as he called his father "dad." She sighed a little. "Hell if I know.... Upstairs?"
-
Landon muttered something under his breath as he stood up and turned, walking towards the stairs. He climbed them two at a time and knocked lightly on the door. Matt gave Ann an odd look as he turned his head to watch. The door opened a minute later. Charles peeked in, eyes narrow. "What?" He hissed. Landon whispered something and Charles' eyes went wide. He let Landon through to the house, closing and locking the cellar door quickly afterwards. Matthew turned back to Ann, face full of confusion. "The f---?"
-
Ann stared in slight horror and shock at the door "I...I don't know..."
-
Matthew rolled his eyes, turning his attention back to the telly where the movie credits were scrolling. "I swear something is up with that kid. Something's not right, I don't know."
-
Ann slowly nodded and pulled herself into a ball. "Dammit, I'm scared again." She muttered to herself.
-
"Hey, don't be scared. I'm sure it's nothing.." He said, even though he knew it probably wasen't anything to ignore. Something was going on but he didn't want to worry Ann.
-
Ann sighed a little and stared at her hands, truly starting to worry about what Charles might do to her tonight. He had threatened, after all. She buried her face in her hands.
-
"Really, Ann. It'll be okay, I'm sure of it," he assured her, reaching for the telly remote. He raised his eyebrows. "I bet I can get us some real television." He clicked a few buttons before the guide for actual channels came on. "Score!" He scrolled until he found the News Channel, gasping when he saw what was on. Ann and his face were both on the screen.
-
Ann looked up and nearly fell off the couch. "Maybe... Maybe this will help."
