Living & Loving Vicariously

Just Another Morning

        Henry's Pov
My alarm starts to go off, murdering my ear drums. "Ughhhh" I grunt as I rush to turn it off  before it wakes Mum.

I yawn and stretch before pulling the sheets off of my body.
I get up as the cold tiles touch the bottom of my feet, causing a shiver to travel up my spine.
'I really need to get slippers bro,' I think to myself as I drag myself like a zombie to the bathroom.

I grab my towel from the hook of the door and pull the curtains to the side a bit to fit the towel on the showers' curtain rod.

As I step in I let the warmth of the water wash away all of the coldness of the house. My attentiveness fades away as I stare into space thinking of nothing and everything at once.

Way too early, my shower is cut short with Mum basically breaking the door down.

"Yes Mum?" I ask with confusion and exhaustion clearly audible in the simple, two worded question.

"Hun you're taking an extremely long time in there, it's time to get out my love."  Mum answers in a soothing, calm tone, although loud enough for me to hear.

"Okay I'll be out in a sec!" I exclaim a tad bit too loud.

As I step out of the shower I feel all the cold air rush back through me as I rush to my room.

After a minute or two my iconic sweatpants are on with my uniform shirt and hoodie.
'Out of all colors they had to choose burgundy and yellow, quite boring if I do say so myself.'

I start heading to the kitchen, meeting my mum pouring some water with my food already on the table.

"Thanks Mum." I smirked as I sat down at my table spot.

"Mhmm!" She happily sang in response.

Mum finishes before me and after washing her dishes heads back to her room to relax for a bit.
When I'm done I happily hum a song to myself as I wash my dishes and put them on the rack to dry.

Once it was time to leave I grabbed my jacket and book bag and started walking to school.

As I'm walking on the corner where the Deli is, I see a group of kids in a circle joking around.
As I begin walking around them one of them steps on my foot and another bumps into me causing me to stumble over.

"Ouch.." I mumble after hitting the disgusting cement.

I can't help but think of all the feet that have stepped on the ground, along with the dog feces and urine that must've been in this exact area.

What can I say, I'm a germaphobe.
I quickly push myself off of the ground with disgust written all over my face.

"Sorry dude," Jax begins. "I didn't mean to make you fall."

"It's all good." I say as I calm myself down internally, although I really want to say, 'No it's NOT FINE! My face touched that horrid ground and now my face burns!'

I continue my walk as I cross the street and look at my surroundings, the view is just so gorgeous and calming. No one surrounds me as I hear birds flying, their wings slapping against their sleek body frames rhythmically.

Today is a beautiful day as I hear people laughing in the distance, the field is empty as I look through the gates to see the bright green grass and equipment in a bag.

I stop my daydreaming as I continue to walk towards the school hearing the laughter subside, as the doors of the school open, allowing everyone to rush in quietly.

Hello! This is the end of the first chapter, and I hope it was okay. 

I know it was short but I didn't really want to make this go so quickly, I wanted to let everyone have a little bit of an idea of what Henry's life is like!

Next chapter we'll get to see what Jax's morning routine is like along with his home life and his amigos!

Thanks for tuning in! Con muchísimo amor (With much love) ꧁Abby꧂
