Night Sky {Kellic}

Chapter 17

Chapter 17

The days went on like normal, but I slowly felt the infatuation I had for Vic grow more each day. Every time I saw him my heart raced and I felt myself mentally blush anytime he would talk to me. I mean, this is all new to me since he never really spoke to me before this all happened. It does leave me to question, but I just try to ignore it.

School had been boring like everyday, but today I was basically bombarded with bullshit homework. To my luck, it wasn't math homework but it was still aggravating.

As it neared seven, I started to make some dinner. I knew mom would be home soon so I decided to take the weight of making dinner off.

I made a simple spaghetti and tried my best to make some garlic bread. Unfortunately, I wasn't a complete cook so I really hope it doesn't taste like shit.

"Hey, mom." I said when she finally arrived.

"Hi, sweetie." She said before pecking my cheek lightly and smiling. Although, through that smile I could see how exhausted she actually was.

"I made dinner, if you want some."

"Oh, Kellin you didn't have to. But I think I'm going to pass for today," she said and I tried my best to hide my disappointment. "I could use a good warm bath."

"Oh, yeah it's uh, it's totally okay. You go do that mom," I said forcing a small smile. She returned a wary smile before marching upstairs.

With a sigh, I walked back to the kitchen to serve myself the food I had prepared. I wanted some fresh air so I decided to take my food outside with me. It was a nice night so I sat at the small outside couch we had and started to eat. The food wasn't even half bad.

I didn't want to be upset, but I couldn't help the emotion building inside of me. Sometimes I hate the fact that my mom has such a demanding job. Yeah, it makes really good money but she's never home anymore. I'll get to see her for a few hours if I'm lucky but most of the time she is bombarded with paperwork. It can get lonely after a while.

All of this leads to thinking about the past. Back when we lived with my father - before the big mess started - I never felt this way. Most of the time dad would be home in the afternoons since his work schedule was different than my mothers. We would hang out or he would help me with my homework. I never felt alone, but now I do. Even after everything that has happened with my father, at times I find myself wishing he was still by my side like the old days. I hate him with all my heart, but I miss him.

I just wish I could spend more time with my mom. It's selfish of me to want her for myself when all she is trying to do is make a living. That's one of the reason why I'm also so proud of her. She works her ass off everyday to give me a good life. Which reminds me, I need to get a job soon.

My thoughts were soon interrupted when I felt a small vibration from my phone. When I picked it up, it said I had a text message but from an unknown number.

Unknown

Well doesn't someone look adorable in a beanie?

My eyebrows furrowed in confusion. I was wearing a beanie, but how do they know? Who is this person anyway?

How did you know I was wearing a beanie?

I quickly texted back and looked at my surroundings. It was pretty dark, but the light of the moon gave me a bit of access to see.

Unknown

Because I'm looking at you right now.

I froze once I read the message. Who the hell was this?
