Dawn - 2. Chapter 2

Chapter 2
Fever

-What a lovely way to burn.

Jacob looked over at Gideon who was staring out of the window. He looked worried.
“You OK? Somethin’ botherin’ you?” Jacob said, which startled Gideon.
“Yeah, I’m just kinda hurt because when you saw Kels you threw me off of you. You know how much I care about you, and how I want to be with you,” Gideon cried out. “I know that when you see this new guy you will forget I even exist.”
“How could I forget about you?” Jacob wondered, “Listen, I didn’t mean to throw you off of me, it’s just. I don’t know. I do care about you. I love you different than I love most people. We had something not many couples had. We had a lot. I sometimes want it back, but I know that it would end. And I don’t want to hurt you like that.”
“You care about me?”
“You know that song Kelsey was singing when I walked in? ‘Never know how much I loved you, never knew how much I cared. When you put your arms around me, I got your fever that’s so hard to bear’,” Jacob sang to him, “It’s just, I want to see what else is out there.”
The car pulled up to the curb in front of Sierra’s pine green house. Kelsey, Laura and Emily stepped out of the car directly in front of them. The five of them ran to the door and rang the doorbell.
Naomi opened the door and smiled, “Hi Jacob, here for Sierra? Or that guy that’s moving in? I’m assuming both. Don’t worry, I won’t tell your mother.” Naomi got married to Alec, and they were part of the Hunters. He often heard his parent’s arguing about whether to put him in training or not.
Sierra ran down the stairs and joined the group to be a “welcome-wagon” for the new family. They arrived to his house and when they knocked on the door there was no response.
“Maybe they left?” Gideon thought while coming up with excuses.
“No, I’ve been watching this whole time, no one has gone anywhere,” Sierra answered, dismissing his previous thoughts.
“Where are Kim and Jason?” Jacob asked.
Sierra looked at him with curiosity. Her eyes got big, “When I went to the bathroom they must have gone in and grabbed him!”
“Why don’t we call them?” Emily looked around at the group of people then pulled out her cell. She pressed a few buttons and put it to her ear, “Hey! Where are you guys? Who? Is he hot? Damn! Listen, I have to get going, I have a mob of horny teenagers here that wanna see this guy. Yeah, Love you too,” She hung up the phone, “They’re at my house.” Just then the race for the cars began. Since there was only room for two in Jacob’s car, Gideon rode with him.
Jacob turned on the CD player in his car and put in the gospel CD that defined his emotions. Gideon loved the CD too, so he turned it to his favorite song on the album, ‘Fever’.
Gideon’s eyes started to fill with tears. “Are you sure you’re OK?” Jacob asked him.
“Yeah, I just wish I had someone to feel this way about,” he responded slowly.
“You will. I promise.” The rest of the car ride was silent.
They pulled up to Emily’s house and everyone looked in awe as the godly boy walked up to Jacob’s car.
Gideon rolled down the window and he leaned into the car, “I’m Damian.”
