10: Breakfast Club

I walk into my room, and I hear him close the door.

"I'm so sorry that happened with you here-" I start.

My lips are met with his but this time, it's more passionate. I put my hands on his face and he pushes me up against the wall. He pulls away to catch his breath and puts his forehead against mine.

"That was badass," he states.

"Thanks," I smile.

He begins to make out with me again, and we stay like this for a while. I pull away and wrap my arms around him.

"Unfortunately, I have to clean this room," I say.

He kisses my neck and says, "that can wait."

"No, it can't. She totally exposed me with the holes in the walls," I respond.

We both laugh, and I walk toward my bed, fixing my mattress and sheets. Billy begins to hang my posters again, and I move to my desk. I pick up my pens and notebook. I see my walkman behind the desk and see that it's been broken. I throw it in the trash and sigh.

"She broke your walkman?" he asks.

"Yeah," I reply.

"I'm sorry, I can take you to the store tomorrow and buy you one," he says.

"No, it's okay. I'll buy myself one," I respond.

"No, you have to save your money if you are going to take care of Mateo," he objects.

"Right. Okay, thanks," I say.

We finally fix everything how it was before, and I change into my PJs in the bathroom. I look at myself in the mirror, and suddenly tears stream down my face. This is going to be hard to do. I need my brother. I run my hands through my hair and try to pull it together. I wipe my tears and walk out of the bathroom.

I must've not done a good job at holding it together because Billy walks over to me and hugs me tightly. 

"How the fucking hell am I going to do this," I croak.

"We'll figure it out, I promise," he tries to comfort me.

He hugs me tighter and picks me up. He lays me down on my bed and turns off the lights. He lays down next to me, and I drift off to sleep.

I wake up and turn to see Billy asleep next to me. I smile and walk to the bathroom sink to brush my teeth. Once I'm done I head over to Mateo's room to check if he is awake.

"What the hell?" I say as I realize Mateo isn't here.

That's when it dawns on me he is at Ms. Wheeler's house. I peek into my mother's room to see she is still asleep. I roll my eyes and check the clock on the wall to see what time it is.

"10 AM," I mumble to myself.

I walk back into my room and sit on the edge of the bed, putting my shoes on in the process.

"Where are you going?" Billy asks sleepily.

My movement must've woken him up.

"I'm going to skate over to Ms.Wheeler's house to get Mateo," I whisper.

He sits up and begins to put his shoes on.

"You're going home?" I ask.

"No, I'm driving you there," he states.

"No, you can sleep. I'm going to skate over," I reply.

"You're not going to skate there," he utters.

I sigh and walk into my closet to grab a hoodie to change into. I change out of my pajama shirt and throw on a bra and the hoodie. I walk out and see Billy waiting by the door.
