Xanders P.O.V.

I wake up and see it's still dark out. I look over at my clock and see its 3 in the morning. I roll out of bed and go towards the kitchen. I grab a glass of water to drink and I hear crying? I walk towards the living room and see it's Emilia. I run over and see she's shaking and there is sweat covering her forehead.

"Emilia," I lightly shake her and she doesn't wake up. She starts whimpering and shakes her head back and forth.

"No, Stop," She says lowly in her sleep. I shake her harder.

"Emilia, Emilia, Wake up!" Her eyes shoot open and she looks around frantically.

"Emilia, It's okay, it was just a bad dream," I say to her. She relaxed and sigh.

"I-I'm sorry did I wake you?" She says groggily.

"No, no I woke up and got a glass a water and heard you in here..." I trail off.

"T-Thanks, Xander." She says looking down and fiddling with her hands.

"You're welcome, I'm gonna go back to bed, I'll see you in the morning." I stand and turn to leave but feel her grip my hand and looks at me nervously. I look at her waiting for her to speak.

"C-Can you s-stay?" She says looking at me with a scared look in her eyes.

"I-I m-mean you don't h-hav-" She starts to say but I cut her off.

"Yeah, Sure." She looks shocked like she doesn't believe it. She lays down and I scoot in behind her. I hesitantly wrapped my arm around her. She doesn't protest so I scoot closer. Her body is so tiny compared to mine. I feel her relax and after a while, I hear her soft calming breaths meaning she is asleep. Soon after I find myself asleep.

----

I start waking up and try to move but feel something in my arms, or rather someone. I open my eyes to see Emilia cuddled up to me with her face in my chest. I feel her soft breaths on my chest. She looks so peaceful in her sleep. She's beautiful.

I feel her starting stir awake and she opens her eyes. She looks up at me and I see a blush creep up her face.

"Good morning Emilia," I say groggily. She shivers slightly.

"M-morning," she whispers and starts to sit up. I hear little footsteps and see Izzy come from the hallway.

"Xander, what are you doing in here with Emilia?" She questions crossing her arms over her chest with a raised eyebrow.

"I-I U-Uh S-She U-Uh-"

"I-I asked him to because I couldn't sleep." She says laughing and looking up at me. My mom enters now and gives us a curious look. I mouth to her 'I'll tell you later' and get up from the bed.

"Hi, Amanda, I'm s-sorr-"

"It's okay. You didn't do anything right?" Mom says raising an eyebrow with a slight smile on her face. I look back at Emilia and see her face red again. She's so cute.

"Well, I'm gonna make breakfast, Is there anything you particularly like?" Mom says heading for the kitchen and we follow suit.

"N-No anything is fine. Would you like some help?" Emilia offers.

"Sure if you want," Mom says.

"I'll help too," I say. My mom turns to me with a raised eyebrow.

"I think its best if you stay out of the way, you can barely cook ramen," she says and I gasp in disbelief. I hear Emilia stifle a laugh.

"For your information Mom, I can cook mac' and cheese too," I say in a matter of fact tone.

"Sure you can honey," She says patting my back and walks to the fridge chuckling. I hear Emilia giggle and I look at her. She stops but starts chuckling.

"You can get the stuff we need." mom says to me.

"Fine," I say crossing my arms with a pout on my face. My mom looks at me and rolls her eyes. She knows I'm joking though.

"Okay, we are making chocolate chip pancakes. Sound good Emilia?" Mom says clasping her hands together and looking over at Emilia.

"Sounds great," she says with a smile on her face.

"Alright, Alexander, grab the eggs, milk, flour, vanilla, vegetable oil, a big bowl, and whisk. Oh and most importantly the chocolate chips," She finishes off. I grab all the ingredients and set them on the island.

"You wanna mix the ingredients together Emilia, while I get the pan and stuff ready?" Mom says.

"Of course," She says. She starts measuring everything into the bowl and starts mixing them together effortlessly. She finishes and looks at mom.

"It's all done Amanda, here is your batter," Emilia says handing the bowl to mom to start cooking.

"Xander set the table and get the syrup," My mom commands. I do as she says and grabs the plates and silverware. I set the table and grab napkins.

"Xander, grab the orange juice too," she adds in.

"Am I just an errand boy?" I say raising my eyebrow questioningly.

"Yes," my mom says. I gasp and put my hand on my chest. I hear her and Emilia laugh together. I give them a fake glare then crack a smile.

"You know I love you, honey," She says laughing and giving me a hug.

"Yeah, Yeah, love you too," I say grabbing glasses and the orange juice.

"Alright, Alexander go get Isabelle for breakfast," Mom says.

"Okay," I go to Izzy's room and see her playing with he dolls.

"Izzy, breakfast is ready, we made chocolate chip pancake!" I say.

"Yay!" She yells, running right past me into the dining room. We all take a seat.

"Alright everyone, there's plenty, so dig in," mom says. She doesn't have to tell me twice. I grab 4 pancakes and start devouring them, I just love chocolate chip pancakes. They have always been my favorite since I was little.

"These are good Amanda, I have never had chocolate chip pancakes before." I practically chock on my food.

"You have never had chocolate chip pancakes?" I say in disbelief. Who hasn't had chocolate chip pancakes? She chuckles slightly.

"M-My parents never really liked sweet things for breakfast. I don't know, they're weird." She shrugged and laughs lightly.

"Well, I'm glad we made them!" Mom says as we continue eating till all the food is gone.

"I'm stuffed," I say, patting my stomach. Emilia looks at me slightly wide-eyed.

"Do you always eat that much and still stay the same?" Emilia says a shocked expression on her face as she covers her mouth.

"Yeah he does, he ate like half the food for four people," My mom says laughing.

"I'm going back to my room mommy, can Emilia come play with me?" Izzy asks jumping on her feet slightly.

"Sure, honey if Emilia wants to," My mom says looking over at Emilia.

"Are you sure you don't need help cleaning?" Emilia says.

"No we got it, honey," My mom says.

"Okay, Thanks for the meal Amanda, I really appreciate all that you have done for me," Emilia says walking over to my mom and giving her a hug. My mom hugs her back.

"You're so very welcome dear. We are here whenever you need." My mom says letting go. Emilia leaves the room and follows Izzy.

"Honey, she's a keeper. She's a beautiful young lady, I'd snatch her before it's too late." My mom says giving me a sideways glance.

"I don't even know if she likes me or if I really like her or if it's because she reminds me of..." I trail off. She looks over at me with sympathy in her eyes.

"Oh, honey," She says giving me a hug. I let go.

"Are we still going to Mrs. Harrison's house for dinner?" I ask, changing the subject.

"Yeah, if Emilia still wants to." She says.

"I'll ask her when we finish," I say continuing to clean.

----

We finally finish putting the last of the dish away and I head to Izzy's room. I stand in the doorway and see them so engrossed in playing that they don't even notice me.

"Do you like my brother?" Izzy says. I walked in just in time I see. Emilia looks slightly stunned.

"I-I, u-uh I don't k-know," she says stumbling on her words.

"I know he likes you a lot, he always talks about you. Emilia this and Emilia that and Blah, Blah, Blah." She says like its nothing. I roll my eyes. She always talks about everyone business.

"Really?" She says surprised. "I-I don't t-think he does," She says, laughing awkwardly.

"You're really pretty," Izzy says randomly. Emilia laughs slightly.

"Thank you," she says.

I clear my throat to get their attention. I hear a gasp and Emilia looks up at me.

"H-How long have you been there?" She says with slight panic on her face.

"Just go here, Izzy I was wondering if I could borrow Emilia?" I say. Izzy pouts in response.

"Fine, you can take her," Izzy says slightly angry. Emilia stands and comes out the door.

"So I was wondering if you still wanted to go over to our neighbors for dinner?" I say, she thinks for a moment.

"Sure," She says.

"Do you want to go home to change and get ready and we'll come back if you want?" I say to her. She looks a little scared but nods her head.

"U-Uh s-sure." She says.

"Alright just let me get dressed and we can head out. I go to my room and put on my jeans and band t-shirt. I head back out and put my shoes on.

"Ready to go?" I ask her.

"Yep," She says.

"Mom I'm gonna take Emilia home to get ready then we'll be back!" I yell into the house.

"Alright, drive safe!" My mom yells back. We head out and I open the door for Emilia. I smile at her and she gets in. I head over to my side and hop in starting the car. I back out of the driveway and head to her house.

----

We arrive and notice no cars. Good that means no trouble. We step out of the car and she heads to the front door. She grabs a key out from under a pot on the porch and unlocks the door. We enter and I look around the room and see the coach covered in glass.

She sees where I'm looking and looks back up at me. She wraps her arms around herself before speaking.

"Sor-"

"No, don't. It wasn't your fault okay? It's that dicks fault. I'll clean it for you. okay?" I say with a stern voice. I interrupt her before she apologizes for something that wasn't her fault. I wish I could find this guy and beat the shit out of him.

"O-Okay," She says going up the stairs. I look at the mess and it makes me clench my fist in anger. How can anyone do this to a person?
