Venus could not help but put out a choked laugh at Rex’s comments.  No one cared about Venus other than Rex and she knew that, and if it was not for him she would have ended her life a long time ago.  Not that she would ever tell him that because then he would stick to her like cement instead of the glue he already uses.  “I only smile for you, you already know that and you know how I hate to repeat myself.”<br/><br/>Venus was very secretive about her home life and there were a lot of things she never told Rex.  Like how she was kicked out of every home because the families were scared of her because they all thought she was a freak and would burn their houses down while they slept.  “Seriously Rex what do I have.”  She sighed, “Other than the ability to set things on fire, and maybe kill things in their sleep.”  She said with a shrug on that last line.<br/><br/>Venus could not help but smirk a little at Rex’s omission to her.  She had to be honest with herself because she missed him too.  Since they put her in yet another new home they had been keeping a tighter leash on her and not allowing her the freedoms that she did have before.  She has managed a couple of nights that she was able to escape and she found herself at Rex’s house.   What Rex didn’t know was she would break into his bedroom to lay with him.  She always felt safe with him.  But for some reason there had been a new alarm system at his current house that she couldn’t break.  “Of course I am trying to change the subject because you know how much I hate talking about myself.”<br/><br/>Venus could not help but roll her eyes when he called her love next.  He called her that a lot when it was the two of them and then she of course would reply by calling him honey bunny.  Even though Venus knew deep down that Rex loved her as much as she loved him, neither would say it to the other, “Well honey bunny I imagine nothing embarrasses you really.  I am sure you run around showing everyone that tiny little thing between your legs.”  Venus said and then couldn’t help but laugh at her own personal joke.<br/><br/>Venus could not believe how nervous Rex was of the teacher.  Didn’t he know the more nervous you get the guiltier you look.  “Everyone knows your weird, its not headline material.”  Venus stated, “Now will you relax a little before you bring the pond into the classroom.”  When she heard him ask how she did it, she just mouthed ‘Not Here’ and followed him up to Mr. Wellington’s desk when the bell rang.<br/><br/>After a few minutes Mr. Wellington led them out of the classroom and Venus was almost nervous to the point she wanted to hold Rex’s hand, but knew if she did that she would burn his hand.  She couldn’t understand why the teacher didn’t want to talk to them in the classroom and when Rex asked her all she could do was shrug her shoulders.<br/><br/>When he walked them to the pool she even got more nervous.  When it came to the pool she usually stood by the doors to watch Rex swim or in the highest seat in the bleachers.  She was afraid of large bodies of water, thanks to one of her foster siblings throwing her in when she was 6 or 7 and she almost drowned.  She refused to learn to swim after that because she was too afraid of the water.  She looked up to Rex with a panic look on her face and that was when it happened.  Mr. Wellington pushed her into the pool.  “REXY!!!!!”  She screamed at the top of her lungs as she fell into the water.  She was too scared to have put up any defense for herself.<br/><br/>The next thing Venus remembers was falling so hard into the water she went straight to the bottom hitting her head on the floor of the pool knocking herself out.  The next thing Venus remembered was being in Rex’s arms and then it was like a shock to her system when she woke up suddenly like it had all been a dream.  She jumped back to life and threw her arms around Rex and hugged him tightly, “I thought you lost me for a moment.”  She sobbed into his shoulder.<br/><br/>Once Rex had Venus back out of the pool she sat on the deck of the pool and just glared at the teacher, “What the hell is your problem.”  Venus spat at the teacher and before she knew it she had set Mr. Wellington on fire.
