Different

Sleep

After staring at nothing for awhile I felt the car stop. "Ug..h" I heard him yawn. No later I saw his torso come through the small area near where the cup holder was.

He pushed himself through. "What do you think you're doing?" He went to behind the passenger seat this time and folded the back rests down. Crawling back to me "You ask me that a lot." He grabbed the comforter on where the seat was and threw in the back. Then grabbed my resting wrist as I cringed from pain. You coming? He pulled it.

I didn't move so he pulled harder. My legs wobbled as I pushed my body up with them and crawled on my knees on the seat. Closing my eyes every time I felt my knee push against the bruises on them. He grabbed a pillow that laid way back of the van and brought it toward him. Setting it behind him he sat up as he pulled the cover next to him. He then signaled me over to him. I crawled a little then stopped, sitting on my knees in front of him. "Come on i'm tired bud." I shook my head. "I'm not sleeping with you." I looked up. Knock. My head turned right when I felt him slap me again. "I don't care." Knock. Again this time I could feel somewhat of knuckle in that one. I fell forward as my face burned and hurt with pain. His shadow hovered over me. "Just sleep kid, I don't have any other blankets." Weakened more my body leaned up when I saw him go from sitting to laying" I crawled slowly, not wanting another slap.

Soon when I saw his torso I paused with my head hovering over the blanket, looking down. "Chill out", he said quietly. I laid out next to him without the blanket. I could feel the van slowly getting colder but my shivers couldn't stop me from staying away from him. I closed my eyes, trying to get myself to sleep when I felt him grab the back of my arm. I turned and saw Lenny siting up. "Your going to freeze." He said. I shook my head and sat up. "I'm not cold."

He gave me a look, "not cold, my ass. I see you shivering."

I was starting my second protest when he threw the blanket in my face. "Take it, Prick." He said and I pulled my head from underneath.

He laid down on the pillow he had facing the other way and I felt kind of shitty.
I ended up justified myself as anyone would when you hate someone.

I turned up laying down a few feet away from him snuggled in the blanket and fell asleep.

I don't know what time it is but I woke up shivering because my head and shoulders were cold from being out of the blanket. I leaned up and could only see a small amount of street light that illuminated the area. The blanket fell down my torso and I was struck by the coldness in the room. I turned and looked at Lenny who was still facing the other way. I felt shitty about earlier.

I thought for sometime and ended up throwing the blanket longways over Lenny and I so we wouldn't freeze.

I laid on my side facing the other way from him but I couldn't fall asleep. I turned facing his back, there was a good foot between us.

If I really focused I could hear him breathing but I just looked at the back of his shirt. I then fell asleep.

At some point I was woken up by the feeling of someone holding me. I was facing the opposite way from before but I could see his hands around me.

I moved a little. "Hey", I said quietly to see if he was asleep.

"Hm." He replied in my ear.

"What are you doing?"

"Giving my thanks." He said tiredly.

I moved out of his grip and turned toward his face. "Who gives their thanks like that." I said angrily at him.
"Are you aware that you're cold?" He spoke tired and quiet while looking at me.

Something struck me inside as I realized what he said. How was I suppose to reply?
I looked at him awkwardly.

He looked in my eyes from his pillow.
I sat up and pulled the blanket from him. "I'll just take this back."
I moved against the wall and saw the frost on the vans window. Next to it was a button. I pushed it and a small over- head van light turned on.

He was on his side facing me. One of his hands was holding onto a corner of the blanket.

He had his eyes closed with his messy hair everywhere.

He opened his eyes and looked almost childish while he pulled the blanket.

I didn't let him have it and grabbed the part of the blanket that was by his hand.

He then grabbed my wrist and I flung forward. He hugged me while I laid there. "Dei", he said.

I could hear his heartbeat. "Yeah."

It was quiet for awhile, "Nothing", he said and let go of me.

I moved off of him and he grabbed the blanket and pressed another side button to turn the light off. He went back to sleep.

I was confused but ended up going back under the covers with him.

Fuck You winter.
