"Leave me alone." I kept walking up the stairs as he was following me.
"You're being childish Kendall." I heard, as I avoided him by walking up to my room. I was about to slam to door shut before he put his hand out. "Kendall please, I want to fix this. Otherwise it'll be very awkward today."
"So the only reason why you came to speak to me was so that the book reading won't be awkward? Wow I feel so special Brett." I told Brett before trying to re-close the door again. Which he stopped again by the way.
"The only reason I came here was to speak to you. Not read a stupid book." Brett then walked inside my room as I stood near the wall. He sat on my bed while I avoided eye contact with him. "Please look at me."
I wouldn't have looked at him if it wasn't for the hurt sound in his voice. As I looked at him, I wish I never did as he looked in pain. Wow, sometimes I am rude.
"I want to fix us." He whispered. "And it hurts me so much that I'm the only one fighting for us."
"If you didn't want this, why did you have to be so rude in the first place." I mumbled. "It's like every time we fight, you always have to bring up the time I died."
"Because I don't want it to happen." He said, as he stood up. "It'll will eat me alive if I lost you."
"Do you think I want to hurt you? Do you really think that! I, out of all people ,would know how it feels like! I lost my mum! My boyfriend! My sister! My best friend! For all I know next could be you! You're not the one losing people, I am!" I yelled at him as tears unwillingly fell upon my face.
Brett walked up to me and wiped my tears away. He then pulled me into a hug which I accepted because I've missed him so much.
"I couldn't tell if I loved you the first moment I saw you. You know, when you pushed me against the bus." He laughed as I giggled against his chest, tears still streaming down my face as I sniffed. "I don't know if I loved you the second, third or fourth time I saw you. But I remember the first time I saw you, I felt like I finally found the one. The one who pushes me and makes the rest of the world seem to vanish."
"I love you." I whispered, not knowing what else to say.
"I love you more." He kissed the top of my head. "C'mon now, let's go read that stupid dread doctor book."
We held hands as we begun walking down the stairs. When we reached the living room I noticed everyone, including Theo, was already there. I felt Brett's grip on my hand tighten.
"So Donovan was just another failure." I heard someone say as I took a seat next to Brett on the three seater couch.
"Well, I'm only here because I was the first one to finish the book and I can help you's if you guys start to hallucinate." Malia replied. I looked at Theo discreetly. He looked at me knowingly and I felt Brett stiffen a bit.
Theo walked over to the couch and sat next to me. Oh great, I was stuck in between Theo and Brett. This can't get any worse.
I guess I spoke to soon because Theo put his arm behind the couch, behind my back, and Brett pulled me towards him as he let out a little growl.
"Well guys, I guess it's time to start reading." I heard Lydia say.

'As if she knew what Judy was thinking, Amy turned and hissed a challenge. Her jaw extended impossibly low, revealing rows of deadly fangs.' I read as I yawned.
"Does anyone feel anything?" Scott asked.
"Tired." Lydia muttered.
"Hungry." Kira called back.
"Horny." Brett replied back. I let out the biggest laugh ever as my stomach begun to hurt. Tears fell upon my face as I hit Brett in the back.
"Oh my god Brett, you're a funny bloke aren't ya?" I told him while wiping my eyes.
"You guys make me suicidal." Stiles gagged as he looked at us.
"Shut up you Nogitsune." I replied back as Stiles glared at me. "Look, you can all take a break if you want but winners don't rest so I'm going to keep reading."
"We can finish this later." Scott told me.
"No. If the dread doctors did something to me, I want to know." I told him seriously while getting up.
I walked over near the window and started to read again. I wanted somewhere quiet so I can focus.
'With a roar, Amy charged her friend. Judy swung the bat as hard as she could and connected with the side of Amy's head. The creature went down but was up again before Judy could react. In an instant the bat was out of her hands and clanging at her feet. Amy swiped her taloned hands ripping Judy's shirt and the skin beneath.' I kept reading.
I rubbed my eyes as I repositioned myself on the couch. I then glanced away from my book and looked at Brett as he was already looking at me, love present in his eyes.
He was beautiful, gorgeous even. I don't know why, but I begun looking deep into his eyes, trying to understand him. He's been through so much yet he still fights for us.
I loved Brett Talbot so much. I was utterly and deeply in love.
Suddenly, I felt my body collapse on the floor as my breathing stopped. I tried to breathe in but I couldn't. Everyone got around me, but I couldn't see them.
All I saw was smoke.
I tried breathing, but my lungs felt weak. My throats was tightening and I couldn't even let out a cough. The house was on fire and I was all alone, no one in the house. Everyone just disappeared.
I heard screaming, the crackling of fire. I heard it all. I tried to think but my brain felt like it was going to explode from the lack of oxygen.
"Brett! Get your sister and run out of here!" I heard a women yell.
"I -I can't leave you mum." I heard a young boy reply back. I know that voice.
"Save your sister before she dies too." The women cried out. My breath was short as I slowly turned around, trying to find out the source of the voice.
I saw a blonde women struggling to breathe as a young boy ran out with a little girl holding tight onto him. The young woman looked at me, noticing my presence as she smiled.
"Thank you." She whispered. "Tell him I said hi."
The roof collapsed on her, fire engulfing her as I screamed. Everything begun to vanish and I was suddenly back to Scott's house, breathing heavily.
I took a deep breath in as I begun coughing out, Brett holding onto my arm. He then quickly let go of my hand as he breathed in deeply, grabbing his chest.
Like the weight of the world has been lifted off his shoulder.
He then looked at me in astonishment, breathing heavily. I looked back at him, not knowing what to say. But we both knew I did something, something we can't describe. Something I also did to Tracy.
I didn't know what to tell Brett, or the people who were gathering around me that moment on what had just occurred. So I said the first thing to Brett that was in my head.
"Your mum says hi."
A/N- I'm sorry for such a short and badly written chapter. I've been quiet busy & I'm sorry :( I've been thinking that every Friday (Australian time) I post a new chapter.
