Who Cares?

Sam: It's been awhile

Bam!! That's all I heard from the other side of the door and right after came a loud crash of thunder echoing loudly in the background. This night was getting to dramatic, I didn't know what I needed to do next. I honestly felt scared.. I think..No. I wasn't scared there was nothing to be afraid of, if this person or what ever it is was to do something bad they would have done it already. I took a deep breath in and swung open the door then just stood there staring into the hallway.
I started walking, I didn't know where exactly. I could only see with ever light that flashed in through the windows. I felt the cold kitchen floor with my bare feet, freezing actually. I went to turn on the light but my feet had now felt a sharp pain in many different places! I fell back onto the floor, trying to look at what it was that hurt me so bad but I couldn't see given I wasn't able to turn on the light. So I had to stand on one foot on a part that didn't hurt so bad. I could now feel what I was pretty sure was blood dripping off my heels. As I turned on the light there it was a huge mess of glass and smeared blood. The top shelf in one of the kitchen cabinets had fallen and all that was on it. I sat back and pulled the glass out and bandaged up my feet. I swept then mopped, feeling only relief in my mind that it was only the cabinets shelf that had fallen. Plus it was only just a few glass pans and cups, things I never really used that's why I kept it all the up there, it was pretty high. Although it was not heavy, I wonder how it fell after all this time. All is well this house is old and I can't really complain even if one day it came crumbling down, I'd understand. With that I went to bed with my throbbing feet outside the blanket, God I hope I don't have to go see a doctor or anything that would suck!
My alarm was set again and I guess I either got enough sleep or I just was to annoyed and went ahead and got up. My feet were sore and ached with every step, which was to be expected. It was Friday and what happened with Eric the other day I'd decided I would skip today's class, since I got all my work done anyway. Do some stuff I've been meaning to do for awhile. Since I mopped the kitchen last night, I decided to mop the rest of the house. I mean I didn't mind cleaning it was as long as I had music blasting it's way in through the speakers distracting me from what I was really doing.
I had worked on the house for at least 2 hours and finally sat down to relax a little bit before starting the backyard. The doorbell had rung and I heard a tiny little knock at my door it almost sounded like a tiny little Girl Scout. They came by here all the time, I was a real sucker for sweet things and I'm sure by now they knew it. Once I pulled myself up from the couch and got to the door, I was actually kind of excited and pulled open the door.
"Hey! You sure do look happy to see me, It's been awhile." She said with her always glossy lips. I didn't mean to but I think I frowned from disappointment, but smiled yet again to see her. Caroline one of my closest friends, it has been awhile. "Hey, sorry I'm not interesting in what you're selling unless it's Girl Scout cookies and your obviously no Girl Scout so I'm going to have to ask you to leave." I said while lightly pushing her and her bag out the door. " What? Aww come on I used to be a Girl Scout doesn't that count?" She whined. That's right, she was the one who got me hooked on those things when we were little. I stopped pushing her and let her lean back on me while I hugged her from behind. I was also a big hugger and was always teases as a kid for being such a softy. "Only if you have them with you" I said making an exception. " I have Oreos" she grinned. "Okay." I pulled her back in and we walked to the kitchen. " Wow this place.. Is a mess." She said looking disgusted. "What?! How? I just cleaned it?!" I was upset, I worked so hard. She giggled "I'm just joking it looks better than ever!" She was putting food she brought for me away, I'm sure her mom had bought for me. Her mom was like a second mom to me. They had always took good care of me when I needed it ever since I was little till now. " So have you heard from your parents?" She asked shyly "No." I responded. " I haven't."
"Really?! Are you serious!?" She bursted out and looked really scary. " I can't believe they would just get up and leave like that!! For the 3rd time may I remind you!" She yelled while slamming the fridge shut, it made me flinch. " It's fine, really I'm old enough to take of myself now.. It's okay.." I said trying to hug her to calm her down but she hit my arm away. Her back was towards me " It's not okay." She turned to look at me, she had tears all over her face. I smiled " Hey, why are you crying?" I hugged her, again a sucker for hugs. She sniffled " Cause, your stupid. For thinking it's okay.." I grabbed a tissue and handed it to her she whipped away her tears. " Yeah your right it's not cool to have parents that go on soul searching journeys around the world but hey why don't we go shopping or do some thing you like?" I asked walking towards my room to get ready cause I already know what she's going to say. " Okay!! I'll wait for you in the car!!" She got all excited I swear she started dancing. The backyard could wait to be cleaned, I don't like it when she cries cause before the only time she ever cried was because of me. She hated me for about a year cause I told a secret that I promised I'd never tell her cause she made me upset over something small and I decided to crush her and told her she was adopted. That was a horrible day, a horrible year but if possible I'll try and make her smile whenever I can even if she doesn't know why.
We had a long night of shopping that my feet hurt more than when I actually hurt them. She finally dropped me off at 11pm, I was so tried as soon as I walked in I dropped dead on the couch and fell right asleep.
2:45am
I sat up my throat was so dry and I'd fallen off the couch again! Ugh I swear how much do I move when I sleep? I might as well go to my room, but first get a drink of water from the kitchen. I opened the fridge, there was no cold bottles of water so I took a huge drink of juice right from the carton. Funny I don't remember getting juice at the store, nor do I remember getting triple chocolate mousse cake. It looked so good maybe Caroline put all this stuff in here when she came over, anyway I was going to have a piece since it was already cut. It was so chocolatey and delicious, I ate the whole piece in 30 seconds then put the cake back. I stood back up thinking about maybe having some milk to wash it down. Then a napkin was floating in front of my face. I stopped moving only my eyes moved to see where the napkin came from. It was a girl in a white gown holding a napkin which I'm sure was meant for me.
