Mercy

Man I'm bored.

My fingers played with an old slinky I had managed to find in my room the next morning. I had ultimately decided to stay home today after getting home at around the same time as Abigale and her son Liam arrived for dinner. With my make-up smeared and blood-shot eyes, I honestly think I either scared them or made them think I had some serious problems.

They were nice people though.

Abigale is around the same age as my dad, only two years younger whereas Liam and I were only separated by a few weeks at most. He actually went to South Lake High like me and apparently ended up being in my World History and AP trigonometry classes in the afternoon. They were both every kind hearted and - totally truthful here - good looking people.

My brothers loved both Liam and Abigale where I was struggling to grasp the fact that my dad had a girlfriend. She was beautiful and they looked like the ideal couple with they way my dad held her hand above the table and shared smiles with her. But, Liam and I were becoming fast friends after exchanging numbers when they were leaving.

"Mercy?"

My dad slowly stepped into the room and smiled at me.

"Hey Dad," I dropped the slinky watching it fall and thud onto the carpeting.

"What's up?"

"There's two people asking for you downstairs." He informed me softly. "Louis and Trinity, I think they said that was their names. Do you want me to let them up?"

I looked down at my over sized sweater and black volleyball shorts I was wearing. There were no traces of make-up on my face and my hair was up in a quick, messy bun to finish it off.

"Sure," I shrugged. "And Dad?"

He turned back around. "Yes Birdy?"

"I approve." His smile widened and he nodded before exiting the room.

He deserves to be happy.

Breathe.

Sighing, I unlocked my laptop and logged onto Tumblr to pass the time that I would spend waiting for my friends to come up here. We hadn't spoken for a day after Louis' stunt with Harry's jacket which was hanging on the edge of my dresser fully exposed. I didn't really care to move it because I didn't really care who saw it but I didn't think I'd be wearing it for a while.

Trinity led the way into my room with Louis into as they scanned the fairy lights, records, posters, and pictures of my friends hanging on the walls. Everything was pretty much a mess in my room. From my bed to myself. Everything.

She smiled gently and sat down on the bean bag chair leaned up against the wall while Louis eyed my bed as if asking for entrance. I sighed but couldn't smiling at him.

"I don't bite Lou, I promise." I patted the spot next to me and pushed my laptop to the end of my bed.

"You know I'm sorry about yesterday, right?" He spoke softly.
