Life, Not As It Used To Be

Chapter 3: Slobbery kisses?

Its been a few days now. My parents still haven't came home. I am beginning to worry, but this isn't the first time they have been gone like this.

Today is the day of the party. That means it is Fourth of July. Everyone normally arrives at noon and right now it's four am. I am the only one up right now so I decided to take care of myself till they wake up.

I went to my bathroom and took my clothes off. I turned on the water just right and then got in. I just stood there for a while before washing my hair. I thought about many things. Majority of them about school, but there was one that shocked me. Sawyer. He has been on my mind the past few days and I can't begin to tell you about it. I'm sure its not as complicated as I make it seem. Its just hard to explain.

After I was finished with my shower, I put my mint green robe on. I tied my hair in a bun and made my way to the living room.

I sat down on the couch and put 'Pretty Little Liars' on. I only have a few more episodes left so I want to finish them. I need to know who 'A' is.

Once I was done I looked at the clock. It was now 6:41. I was get hungry. I checked to see if anyone woke up but they were fast asleep. I walked to the cabinet and got myself some cereal. I sat at the table and checked Facebook. I saw that Sam was one so I sent him a message. He looked at it but didn't respond. That's not like him. I let it slide because Kaelyn entered the kitchen. We have became really close. I still want to take her riding but I have to ask her parents.

"Adri, I want some eggs. Can I please have some?" Because she couldn't fully pronounce my name, she calls me 'Adri'. I got up and picked her up.

"If you want eggs, you are gonna help me make them. Okay?" She nodded her head. I grabbed some eggs and put them, along with Kaelyn on counter. I put some music on and began cooking with Kaelyn's help. She was a pretty good helper. We made enough eggs for the others too.

I pick Kaelyn off the counter and she took off running to the table. I put some eggs on a plate for her. As soon as I sat it down, she was devouring it. "You must have been really hungry," I chuckle. She nods her head but continues to eat.

Kayla walked into the room fully dressed. "Where are you going," I asked. "I have to go home for a bit. I will be back in time for the party. I promise." My mouth flew up. "But Kayla, I have to set up the party. I have to make sure everything is perfect. And I also have to watch the kids. I can't do this by myself. This is too much." Kayla was just looking at me. "Are you done now," she asked. I nodded. "I made a phone call before I came down. Sawyer will be here about 8. You can get some stuff done before he gets here. Like clean up. Just don't over do yourself. Gotta go. Love ya," and with that, she was gone.

"Oh great! Now I am gonna be stuck with him." I sat down on the floor with my back against the fridge.

I can't let this get to me. I have a party to host. Well, my parents do but there not here. I need to make this house look incredible!

I got up from my spot of the floor and began to do the dishes. I still had the music on from cooking so as I was cleaning, I was dancing.

"Bubba!" I heard from behind me. I just ignored it because I love this song.

"Hey girly. How have you been?" Okay, now I am worried. I stopped dancing and turned around. There stood Sawyer holding Kaelyn. "I'm good! Adri said that I can ride horses. But I have to ask mommy and daddy," Her smile faded.

"Oh really," Sawyer looked up at me. "Oh by the way, you are a wonderful dancer. Do you take classes," he asked. I shook my head. "Nope, it just comes naturally." He looked shocked at my response. "Please tell me that you are on a dance team at least." I turned down the music. "Our school doesn't have one. I wish they did but we don't," I honestly reply. He sat Kaelyn back down. "I guess we will have to change that."
