The nerd is a badass... Wait... What?!

Chapter 15

Harley's POV

I heard voices so I began to wake up. I rubbed my eyes and stretched my arms before looking around, this wasn't my room this wasn't even my house. "Where the fuck am I??" I asked nothing in particular.
"You're at my house, you fell asleep with Alec while watching a movie" I'm pretty sure I looked startled because I heard laughing.

I looked around once more and the first thing that caught my eye was Alec curled up with his head on me. It caused me to smile, as I looked further I was met with the faces of Jay, Brodie and Ace. "What's up??" They laughed again
"Nothing much, we ordered pizza it should be here soon." I nodded
"How long was I out??" They smiled
"Well you were sleeping when we got here so we don't know exactly but I'd have to say about and hour and a half to two hours." Replied Brodie. Meh that's not to bad. I turned to them
"What time is it??"
"Half five, why??"
"Just wondering that's all" they nodded.

I felt movement next to me and looked down, Alec had moved so he was almost completely curled up on me, I couldn't help but smile at him, I wrapped my arms around him and I heard him sigh. It was then I remembered what he said when he came out of school. "Hey jay I have to ask you something" he looked over at me
"Sure ask away"
"When I went to pick him up" I began man this is going to be harder than I thought. "When I found him by the gate he looked upset. When I asked him what was wrong he said that he thought you'd forgotten him" Jay sighed. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to but I was just wondering why."

Jay sighed again "No it's fine, Alec was upset because of what happened with our parents... They left us like we where nothing, like we weren't important. He had it worse  than I did though. After mum left, dad had to look after us and one time he was supposed to pick Alec up from kindergarten. I had just gotten home when the house phone rang, they said that our dad hadn't picked Alec up. I raced over there as fast as I could to get him, he was terrified I don't blame him, he was three at the time, three and he was left there. That kinda thing can leave a kid feeling messed up, like they weren't good enough and Alec thought that I'd left him like they'd done to us that was the last we ever saw of him that was just over two years ago." I nodded, I understood what he meant after my mum died and my dad left, the only person I had was Hunter to look after me. I understood how it felt to feel like you weren't good enough for someone to stay. I tightened my hold around Alec, I don't know why but I felt protective over him, maybe because he'd gone through similar things to me, maybe it was because he'd gone through it all at such a young age. What ever it was, I didn't care. I was gonna look out for him no matter what happened.

I was brought out of my thoughts by the doorbell. "That'll be the pizza I'll be back" yelled Brodie as he ran down the hallway. I smiled as I lent back into the couch, Brodie walked in a few minutes later with the pizza and stuff. I looked down at Alec, he'd need to eat as well, I began to gently shake him
"Hey buddy, come on" he didn't move at all "come on Alec you've gotta get up" he began to move. He yawned
"Whaa??" He said as he rubbed his eyes I smiled
"Come on buddy you gotta get up, you've gotta eat" he looked up at me through sleepy eyes
"Where's Jay??" Jay smiled and walked over to his brother
"I'm right here" Alec put his arms up and Jay picked him up.

Alec sat on Jays lap while food was sorted out. I couldn't help the smile that was on my face as I looked at the brothers. The way Jay protected and loved his little brother and the way Alec had so much trust in his older brother to look after him. The way they where together was just amazing. Alec even looked almost like a mini Jay, the only difference was his eyes, they where a bright green, while Jays where grey. Other than that they where completely alike.

"Hey Harley when do you have to go home??" I snapped out of my thoughts at the question
"Uh whenever, my brother knows that I'm here" they nodded at my answer. We sat there eating pizza, talking and messing about while the tv played in the background. At half six my phone rang it was my brother
"What's up bro??" I asked
"Nothing much, when will you get home??"
"Whenever you want me to be, why??" I heard him sigh at the other end
"I've gotta meet some people" I got a shiver down my spine
"Not them again"
"Yeah, them"
"What time do you want me home then??"
"Well I was actually hoping that you would stay round Pixies' or Spiders' house but I can't get ahold of them"
"Uh huh, so where am I going to stay then??" I asked that's when Alec spoke up
"Stay here??" Hunter must have heard him
"Har where are you??"
"I'm round Jays house, you know since I was babysitting his brother"
"Uh huh, pass the phone to him for a sec"
"Ok" with that I gave my phone over to Jay. He walked out the room and spoke to my brother. When he came back in he looked kinda weird. He threw my phone at me which I caught.
