    14 ~Traps~ Brandon got to Jordan's house at noon the next day, not feeling totally rested, but well enough to at least fake it for a few hours. Dalaja was already up, but Nikki had yet to make an appearance. Jordan was making lunch for everybody. "Here, eat," Jordan said, setting a sandwich down in front of him. Brandon took a bite. It was turkey, provolone, tomato, mayo, with mustard and Brandon was ridiculously touched that Jordan had remembered something so little and so simple. Jordan

    13 ~Bonding~ "So, what now?" Brandon asked. He and Jordan were sitting on the couch in the living room with Nikki and Dalaja. "Well, we need to check this guy out, obviously," Nikki said. "I still don't like the fact that we don't know where this guy's Enabler is." "Could she be dead?" Brandon suggested. Nikki shook her head. "No. If a Creator loses his Enabler, he'll get another one. Until he does, he won't 'register' as a Creator anymore." Brandon thought of having someone othe

    12 ~Revelations~ The next week passed fairly uneventfully. Brandon found himself thinking of Keith with an unrelenting intensity that was beginning to piss him off. He hated the guy; he was glad to be rid of him, so why did he keep on stealing glances at him during class? Considering Keith was even in class... He seemed to be missing a lot of them recently, and Brandon wondered what was up with that. Sometimes he would catch himself staring at Keith's empty desk, like he was expecting to see

    11 ~Consequences~ Brandon got up the next morning, feeling a little bit weird about facing his parents. His dad would be gone to work, but his mom acted like nothing had changed... which was just how Brandon liked it. At noon, Andrew came by to pick him up. They were going to meet up with Alexis and go to a paintball court where they usually hung out. Normally Leia would be with them, but that would never happen again and Brandon knew that. Maybe one day he could accept it. But he was gla

    10 ~Feelings~ Jordan drove both of them back to Brandon's house after school the following day. He was a little nervous. Brandon hadn't mentioned the kiss and he hadn't mentioned the kiss even though he had a feeling that they both wanted to. But Brandon was acting like his normal self--well as normal as Brandon got now that Leia was gone, and Jordan didn't want to do anything to upset that. Especially with what he needed to talk to Brandon about. Instead of going up to his room like usual,

    09 ~Discoveries~ For Brandon, it became harder and harder for him to focus on anything. He was never the most attentive student at the best of times, but now he was lucky to remember what classes he had a test in or on what dates he had a project due. He got bawled out by his Shop teacher twice for almost causing an accident, and in one class, after he was given his test paper, he just wrote his name down and then stared at it until the bell rang and turned his test in, still completely b

    08 ~Leia~ Jordan glanced at Brandon as he drove. Brandon was hunched over in his seat, looking lost and younger than ever in a pair of blue jeans and an oversized sweatshirt with his hair still damp from the shower. Brandon hadn’t wanted to go to school... Jordan hadn’t been excited about the idea either, but Brandon also didn’t want to stay in his house all day by himself either, so Jordan took him to his house. Jordan wasn’t sure what they were going to do once they got there-all he ca

    07 ~Mirage~ Brandon didn't want to go to school the next day. He was still embarrassed and a little bit hurt. He would have felt better if Jordan had just straight out rejected him, even cruelly, but the frightened tone of voice that he had heard after making his confession bothered him a lot and made him feel bad. Did Jordan think that he would hurt him, that he would try to force him into something he didn't want... like Keith had done with him? Never. He felt like Jordan didn't trust him,

    06 ~Downtime~ Jordan woke Brandon up at the unholy hour of ten a.m. the next day. Brandon smacked at him from under his cave of blankets. "It's Saturday you sadist," he mumbled. "Come on, get up," Jordan prodded. "Do you want to spend the entire day in bed?" "Yes." "No you don't. C'mon, let's get going!" "Go where?" Brandon asked grumpily, throwing his sheets back unenthusiastically. "My place. There are a couple of people I want you to meet." Brandon sighed and rubbe

    05 ~Sin and Confession~ Brandon stared up at the ceiling, moonlight and branches painting patterns on his ceiling. He couldn't sleep, wasn't sure he wanted to. Who would he dream of tonight? The incident in the shower was easily explained away. Really. It was just... Jordan. Someone who had been on his mind due to all this weird shit that had been going on lately. He was on his mind, sure. That he just happened to pop up at an inopportune moment... yeah. Coincidence. He smiled in the dark, fe

    04 ~Close Encounters~ Brandon wasn’t sure how he could handle Monday at school, but it didn’t end up being that difficult. The long sleeves of his school uniform and a couple wrist bands hid his bandages well enough if he was careful and Keith wouldn’t even look at him. He sometimes felt like he might have felt someone’s eyes on him, but whenever he looked up, Keith was always looking somewhere else and in some cases, Keith wasn’t even in the room. Great. He was turning paranoid. The

    03 ~Abominations~ Leia finally showed back up at school, though she looked tired and pale for most of the day. Brandon never really got a chance to speak to her alone; to talk to her as Jordan had suggested. But even if the opportunity to do so had arisen, he didn’t think he would have. What right did he, as her friend, have to dredge back up those painful memories, so painful she supposedly had to block them behind a story that was not only plausible, but made a whole lot of se

    02 ~Creators and Enablers~ "You are a Creator," Jordan said. "I am the Enabler." "What?" Brandon asked. He felt nervous and jumpy after what had just happened and was having trouble focusing. "You can sit there at your desk and draw all day long and not be able to do what I just did. You can Create; place something into existence in another reality that was never there before. But you can't bring it into existence here in this reality. I can." "I...I can't believe this," Brandon sai

    All Brandon wants is to help his friend. All Jordan wants is to make Brandon understand. Two very different boys are brought together by an unbelievable gift…the ability to turn dreams into reality. (Formerly known as I Hate Sundays).

    ~ Brandon~ For Brandon, there were few things more appealing, more inviting and (sometimes) as discouraging as a blank sheet of paper. Blank, thought Brandon, scowling because there was nothing to put onto it. He pushed away from his desk. He hated days like this, when his energy was low, his ideas flat and his creativity almost non-existent. And he hated Sundays in general, just on principle. Useless day. He loved to sketch. He was an artist--a good one, proficient in many mediums--bu
