The Gamer [Clifford]

1.9 how many?

So my phone deleted all my notes for this book and now I'm sad because I have to go off of memory and I know it won't be as good. I'm so sorry this is going to be so bad. Also this is unedited, I'm sorry. Now my pants just ripped I'm crying. I'm just going to bed. Goodnight.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I woke up the next morning alone, hungover and a little sore. It felt like a horrible one night stand. I slowly leaned up looking around, it was bright out- but it was always fucking bright in Australia. I looked next to me at the clock. 1:00. WHAT? I slept in. I scrambled to my feet running to Lauren's room. She started school today.

When I reached her room she was gone and there was a note tapped to the door. I pulled it down and walked to the living room sitting on the couch and turning on the tv. I pulled the envelope open and unfolded the note.

Chelsea,

Don't freak out, I took Lauren to school on my way to the airport. I tried waking you up but God you are a heavy sleeper. I mean I would sleep like that after the pounding I gave you last night. I stopped reading and rolled my eyes as I felt my cheeks heat up as I remembered the previous scenes from last night. I'll call you as soon as I land in LA. Lauren said she is taking the bus home so don't worry about picking her up. I love you. I'll talk to you later.

-Michael

I put the letter down smiling and running my hand through my hair lightly as I stood up walking to the kitchen. I looked through the fridge and found some of Michael's left over burger from the other night with a note that says 'hang over food'. I took it out of the fridge and made my way back to the couch where I sat the rest of the day waiting for Lauren.

The past few weeks were boring and lonely. Lauren spent her days at school and I spent my days at home laying on the couch watching every episode of Grey's Anatomy possible. Michael had called hear and there but he was busy for the most pet writing with the boys and they left for Japan in a few days and God knows when I would talk to him next.

I was sat on the couch watching my 12th episode of Grey's Anatomy today as I felt my phone begin to vibrate next to me. I picked it up and said hello half expecting the voice on the other side to be Michaels. I was surprised when I heard a female voice filled with venom shoot through the other end.

"Chelsea."

"Hello Mrs.Clifford." I replied in the most monotones voice I could to try and hid my annoyance from her call.

"I want to call and ask you if I could stop by, so we could talk about the other night." Her words took me by surprise. Did she want to apologize to me? Or was she expecting an apology for me? Cause I'm not fucking apologizing for her bitchy attitude. "Oh has of course."

"And let's act civil, I don't need you acting like an animal again." Seriously now I'm a fucking animal. "Of course, I'm always civil." I replied sarcastically smirking even though I knew she couldn't see me I know she could hear it on my voice. "Whatever you say, I'll see you Friday." "Fri-" I began to ask but she hung up quickly.

"Okay." I said putting the phone down on the couch next to me. I pushed the play button on he screen letting he voices fill my empty home. Empty. What a strange word. A feeling and a description. But right now it was a feeling; ever since Michael had left I have felt so alone it made me physically sick in the morning.

Sure, we talked. But not like we did when we were home. It was more like "hey babe how's life? Oh good? Ya I'm good. Oh I understand. I'll talk to you later. Love you too, bye." What kind of relationship was that? Then Lauren was at school all day and she had already made friends and loved to hang out with them after school. I sat there with an unsettling feeling in my stomach. Oh great not again. I thought to myself I went to stand up to walk around to see if the feeing would leave as I heard a light knock on the door.
