The Story Beneath The Shirt

Mall Trip

As we entered the mall parking lot I was jumping with joy. I wanted so badly just to hop right out the car but the child safety locks wont open till the car is in park. As soon as he parked and slid the car into parked mode I hopped out.

"Come on! Come on! Come on!" i said jumping up and down.

"Alright alright. Chill out before i put a leash on you."

I pulled nathan along and went inside. We grabbed a cart from the cart area so we could use it to carry our things. I strolled through each store looking at every little thing. Nathan told me to get whatever i wanted and that's exactly what i did. We hit every store spending at least 25-2500 dollars. I strolled up to a mini cart in the walkway area. It was a piercing place. I asked nathan if i could get one but he told me no pulling me away from it. I pouted but still nothing. I decided maybe a different day i could come back.

It was nearing 8PM i had so many things the cart was overfilled and nathan was carrying some bags in his arms. I figured i had everything i wanted for now. We headed out to the car and it filled the trunk and back seats. As we drove home i put my favorite CD in. i had grabbed it from my car after court. Still needed to go get it but i'm sure i can ask nathan to have someone go pick it up. I slid it in turning on "Not the american average" By Asking Alexandria.

We got home and i carried all my bags to my room. As i put my clothes up nathan hung up most of my posters. I had to mark with tape were i wanted each one and i even bought a couch but that had to be delivered to the house. I wanted my room to be the coolest room anyone had ever seen. I strung LED lights and even had a lightbulb that changed colors. That was by far my favorite purchase. I put my new shoes off to the side and even had a new cover set. It had almost all my favorite band quotes on it. Most of it was song lyrics and you could see their symbols across the cover too. Linkin Park, Sleeping With Sirens, Asking Alexandria, Black Veil Brides, and so many other bands were scattered across the cover with their chorus lyrics. I loved it so much. The pillows only had the names of the bands and their symbols but it was still amazing

Once we was done with putting up and redoing everything i finally had the room i wanted, well minus my in delivery couch but that should be arriving tomorrow.

"Hey max, we do need to talk though. I figured we could go make dinner and talk about some new things. Now that you're living in a safe environment some things need to be done and figured out." Nathan says taking me out of the awe of my room.

We walk to the kitchen and look in the fridge. We decided on Hamburger helper and toast. We tell the chef that we had and sit at the Island.

"Now that your living here we need to start thinking about school. I found a school that isnt to far from here. It has 4 stars and it seems nice. I took a tour before getting you to see the options and it was the best one i had found. Its called Brassville High School. They will have to have you take a assessment to see what grade to place you in since you haven't been to a school but i know with all those online helpers you should be placed in 12th, your a smart kid. I talked to the principal he said friday we can come in at noon, take the assessment, and then monday come in and talk about what grade and classes your going to be in."

As nathan explained all that i could feel a knot in my stomach. It had been almost 4 years since i had been in a school environment. I agreed anyways knowing i didn't really have much of a choice if i wanted to make a better future for myself. Nathan could sense my fear, he hugged me reassuring me everything would be fine and that if i ever needed anything the staff and him would be there for me. I told him i was gonna go shower before dinner and took off towards my room. I grabbed my clothes and walked into the bathroom. Its the first time i had actually been in my own bathroom i had been using the other one forgetting i had this one.

It had a jacuzzi, a standing shower with a large glass door, a really fancy looking toilet, which is saying a lot considering its a toilet, and a big sink with a counter space next to it. I placed my new clothes on the counter and stripped out of my old clothes. I placed the binder i had been wearing on the counter and put the old ones in a hamper i had. I got in and took the best shower i had ever had.

Getting out i dried off, got dressed, blow dried and fixed my hair back in front of my face. My eye was still a little discolored but the ointment and cream and drops were really helping. The doctors said the medicine i had been prescribed and taking should have it back to normal by tomorrow or the next day.

I walked down stairs right as the chef was fixing up the last of the toast. I sat down next to nathan. He smiled at me and shook his head chuckling.

"What?" I asked genuinely confused

"I still find it funny after all that you been through you still haven't lost your emo phase, im suprised. You started wearing your hair like that a year before i moved out." He said smiling pulling his bowl towards him the chef had placed down. We each had a bowl and their was 6 pieces of toast buttered and ready to go on a plate.

After dinner i placed my bowl in the sink and headed up stairs. It was going on 11PM. I brushed my teeth, took my binder off, and layed down. Plugging my new phone in i turned my led strip lights to a dark blue turning my light off and drifting off to sleep.

This part is short im sorry but i tried to make it longer but this is as far as i could get <3
