The one with the mic check

chapter 8 "You're moving in with me."

My heart has dropped now I have no family, my stuff is on the front lawn. I fall to my knees crying, the tears are cold when the wind blows on my face. I feel too hot to even care, then Huddy is right behind me. He picks me up into his arms and I'm hugging him, we do this for about 5 mins. Then he looks at me and says. "You're coming and living with me." "What!" "You're coming and living with me and I'm not asking you, I'm telling you." "But we only met 4 Days ago." "Doesn't matter you are not staying in a hotel room and I don't like the idea of you being homeless. Please, it would make me feel at ease knowing that you're safe." "Okay well then we have to grab my stuff." I say thankfully he's a gentleman, we pack my stuff and manage to fit all of my stuff in his car.

We head off and it's 10:00pm when we arrive at Huddy's or as I now call home. I walk in the door and Lucario comes running towards me. I pick him up and he starts licking my face. Huddy says "We'll bring your things in tomorrow after school." He looks into my eyes which are red from crying, his lips touch mine. Lucario is in the middle of us just getting squished. He growls "How is it that my dog likes you better than me?" He asks. "I have a special connection with dogs, it's like a spiritual thing." I reply Then he says. "Okay I'll keep that in mind, I know what we can have for din dins." I look at him confused then start laughing. "Okay that sounds good. What?" I say "It's a surprise. Besides, you need some time to process this so I'll go and grab some food." "Thank you" I say, then I hug him and he returns the affection and kisses me on the forehead and gives Lucario a patt. "See you soon." He says and walks out the door.

Then I start crying because I want to let all the pain out. I put Lucario down and he gets worried. He sticks by my side the whole time and tries to lick the tears off my face, after that I start thinking about things like. "What do I do Lucario?" I know talking to a dog is weird but in my world finding that weird is weird. Who's going to pay for my schooling? I'm going to have to get a job and food, I start feeling like I can't breathe. I think I'm having a panic attack, Lucaro starts barking. He knows I'm having a panic attack, I try to remember what happened last time someone had a panic attack then Hazel and Madds came to mind. What am I going to tell them? My night was great. My dad kicked me out and now I'm living with Huddy, I have no money and no job. I'm wheezing in and out now and I don't know how to stop it. Then I start crying again, Why doesn't the pain stop? Why can't it just go away? I cuddle Lucario.

I feel someone grabbing me and hugging Lucario and I. I look up and see his face then he says. "Hey it's okay, look at me, now take a deep breath in like I'm doing." I'm feeling better already. I feel the oxygen again and I'm not crying anymore. "Thank you, I'm a lucky girl." "And I'm a lucky guy, now let's eat. Then you can vent to me." He says, I nod "Macca's?" I say, I put Lucario down and he jumps up and down. "Mcdonalds and yes I got you everything on the menu because I didn't know what was your favourite." Huddy says. "Thank you and in Australia we call it Macca's." I say we both laugh and I grab some food. I usually grab 2 cheese burgers, large fries, frozen coke and an apple pie. But it's the whole damn menu so I grab all my usetal and a Mcflurry, I've always wanted to try one of those.

I grab nearly all the drink flavours. He looks at me and his mouth falls open. "What I eat like an Italian cause I'm part Italian and so does my dad." I know it seems funny but I like having that trait from dad.I finish eating and let out a humongous burp. I'm so embarrassed. "Excuse me, I'm sorry." He laughs and says. "No it's okay, I find it cute." I giggle. We put the leftovers in the fridge. I think we'll be good for about 2 weeks. 

Then we sit on the couch, Lucario jumps up on my knee and cuddles me. Huddy says "Now what we're you crying about that made you have a panic attack." He has his listening face on, and his hand is on my leg in support. I like it when he does that, it makes me feel more at ease. Then I say "Well I was thinking who's going to pay for my schooling, I'll probably have to get a job. Then I realised that I have no family left and now I look like a whiny little girl." 

He answers in a soft voice. "Number one, I'll pay for you and you can't decline. 2 You don't need a job I'll pay for all that shit, and 3 you're a beautiful intelligent woman. If anything I need you more than you need me and Lucario." "Awwww thank you" I say, and I kiss him. I feel the warmth of his lips, he kisses me back and we end up making out for an hour. Then he says, "Let's go to bed, it's getting late. Do you want to sleep in my bed with me or have your own?" "I want to have my own bed, Can Lucario sleep with me?" I ask , he pouts then says. "Okay you can be across from me, and yes he can sleep with you." He shows me my room and I love it. It has a vampire theme to it. Like his, he says "I'll be right across from the hall." I nod and head to my room. My head falls on my pillow, and Lucario jumps up and snuggles real tight into me. I drift off to sleep.
