rare

I woke up at the sound of thunder as it was pouring down rain.

I grabbed my phone looking at the time 8:53am "Ughh" I groaned at the headache that I could feel.

I grabbed my other pillow putting it on my face, covering my ears. I heard a knock at the door "Come in" I muffled from the pillow. I took the pillow off my face seeing Garth.

"Oh hi" I said sitting up as he walked over to the other side of my bed. "Hi are you going to school today because it's already 9" He said looking at me.

"Umm no i'll go tomorrow and plus my head hurts from last night" I laughed lightly putting a tiny smile on his face but it soon disappeared. "Okay well are you hungry? I can make you breakfast" He walked back over to the door went I stood up.

"Wait are you sure this Garth... Garth Argento the Mafia king?" I questioned with a giggle. "Yes it's rare but I do sometimes cook" He replied. "Oh okay just making sure. But yes I would love breakfast" I smiled to myself as we walked downstairs.

I sat down at the kitchen island as he started to
make breakfast. Garth was wearing a black probably silk dress shirt with his sleeves rolled up and two buttons undone. I saw more of his tattoos and for pants black slacks and black dress shoes.

I knew I had to go back to school tomorrow, Tate has been texting and the whole school is still talking about it.

"So what do you want to do today?" I sighed as he turned his attention to me. "I have work" He put a glass water in front of me. "Um what about coffee" I pointed at the water in front of me. "That's all you have been drinking since i've met you and it's not like you need it" Garth turned back around.

"Fine. So do you work every day?" I drank my water. "Yeah for the most part" He grabbed the plates. "Oh doesn't it get tiring?" Garth seemed like he liked to work himself to the point where he just doesn't take breaks.

"Nope. Oh and by the way you have a biology test tomorrow" He changed the subject. "What how do you know that?" I wondered. "Your teacher called and it's in your planner" He spoke plating the food.

At that point I just stopped asking questions about how he knows certain things. Garth was starting to warm up to me and I was warming up to him too.

"Here you go" He set down a plate of pancakes and fresh fruit. "Wow thank you" I looked at the plate and back up to him. "It really isn't a big problem" He sat down next to me with his own plate.

I got up from my seat, putting my plate in the sink to wash it. Garth's parents were coming home tonight. I don't think he told his dad about me sneaking out.

"I'll be in my room" I said nicely waiting for a reply back.

"Okay" He voiced.

I walked back upstairs to my room. I closed my door realizing that I haven't written in my journal in a little bit. I sat down on my chair grabbing my journal and a pen.

Dear me, The pass couple of days have been crazy I met Garth and let's just say that he is definitely cold like people have described him to be. But I think he's starting to warm up to me... slowly. His mom is so sweet like my own but his dad not so much. I snuck out but this time I got caught and then Garth said that i'm lucky that he didn't send me back to my father and then raised his hand like he was going to hit me. So he most likely knows what has happened to me. Yesterday I met his best friends, Blaze and Daxton their nice but Garth had already threaded them that if they got to close to me he'll kill them but I can take care of myself and I think he doesn't know that. And I smiled for the first time since I have started to live here like it was a genuine smile. I feel safe here, like I don't have to walk on eggshells so much and I didn't mind living with Garth. But I miss my family and I don't think Garth will let me see them but will see. Oh and this is my new journal Garth got it for me I guess this is a new chapter of my life.
