Description
A cold wind blew as I walked up the hill to Jacks house. A simple reminder that winter was coming. I wondered if Jack would be warm enough in his house. I knew he had a fireplace but what about blankets? I made a mental note to buy him some warm blankets. I put my hand on the door to open it & received a hearty shock. It was enough to make me fall on my butt. I heard laughter inside the house & frowned. I decided to get him back. I put my hand on my heart & groaned loudly "My chest!" The door cracked open & I got on my hands & knees "Arg! Jack!" I groaned more & flopped to the side. The door swung open & Jack gasped "Kim?! what's wrong?! Oh no! oh no! oh no!!" I laid there with my back to him. A grin plastered on my face biting my tongue. Jack panicked "Get up! GET UP! NO! NO! NO!" He tried to get to me but a supernatural barrier stopped him just inside the doorway. I decided enough was enough & moved to stand up. I stopped abruptly. A large black & red wasp had landed on my left lens. I screamed loudly & the wasp walked across my lens to the underside. I threw my glasses off & darted into Jack's house slamming the door behind me.

I stood there breathing heavily & twitching. Jack moved in front of me "You're ok!!" He hugged me tightly "You scared me! Don't you ever do that again!" He looked me in the eye "Why did you scream?" I muttered incoherently for a moment "Wasp... wasp... waaasp... BIG wasp. Hold me..." Jack held me again "A wasp?" I nodded "I don't like- OH GOD! It's not in my hair is it?!" Jack checked for me "No. No wasp." I buried my face in his chest slowly calming down from the wasp "I'm sorry I scared you....." Jack rested his head atop mine "I'm just glad you're safe. I... never mind. You go get your things from outside." It felt like he wanted to say something but I ignored it. I nodded & cautiously stepped outside. When I was sure the wasp was gone I got my glasses & my bag. I opened the door & slipped my glasses on my face. Jack was staring at the fireplace deep in thought.

He growled & grabbed me roughly by the arm "What if you had really been dead?! Huh?! What then?! I'd be!" He turned his head away & spoke softly "I'd be alone again..." I cringed as he yelled at me. He let me go & turned from me. I wasn't sure what to say or do. I felt heartbroken & it clearly showed on my face. I gingerly took him by the hand. He made no effort to look at me. I moved around to his front. He had a frown on his face. I stood on my tippy-toes & kissed the cheek of his pumpkin face. His face curved into a small smile & he turned to my bag "What-uh-what did you bring?" I smiled & picked the bag up "Lets go to your room so we can sit down." Jack nodded & led me into his room. We sat down on his bed & I began to pull everything out "I brought a deck of cards, a movie player, and some movies." I pointed to each film "This one is suspense, this is a comedy, this is action fantasy, and this one." I picked up TNBC "This one is my favorite movie of all time." Jack smiled at me "Then we should watch that one first." I nodded & set up the DVD player. Jack watched in amazement. I don't think he had ever seen anything quite like it. We laid down next to each other & I played the movie.
