After we talked about small topics for an awkward 15 minutes, we said our goodbyes because I knew if I didn't stop talking to him now, I'd be in trouble. Trouble as in, I would catch feelings way too fast. I'm tired of letting people in just like that.
I hate myself because of it. I hate that I am one of those people who are so naive to just let whatever they want affect them so easily. I wish I could stop, but I can't. So, I just block it out, so it physically can't get to me. I have a good feeling that Eljiah is going to need a lot of willpower to block out from my life.
Just in the 20 minutes that the conversation took place, I could tell that from the get go, I had him all wrong. No wonder why everyone liked him. He's hot and has an amazing personality. Usually it's one or the other. It wasn't too awkward of a goodbye, I just claimed that I had to go before my mom worried.
My mom was at work. But, if my sister woke up and I wasn't there, she would definitely worry. I wasn't about to tell a stranger that though. Tell a stranger that I practically have my own child at such a young age. Tell a stranger that my mom doesn't even want to come home to us anymore. Tell a stranger that my sister started calling me dad for 3 months last year, with how much I take responsibility for her, and that I could never tell my mom that because it would break her heart.
I finally arrive back to my house, unlocking the door quietly, just incase Val is still sleeping. Val is my sister, if you didn't pick up on that. Her full name is Valencia Muñoz. God knows where my mom got they name from but I think it's gorgeous and it suits her. My mom changed my sister and I's last names back to her maiden name a few months after he left. I thank her severely for that because "Luca Davis" sounds terrible and EXTREMELY white.
Sure enough, Valencia was still sound asleep. I checked the time on my phone. 6 AM. Val has pre-school at 7:30, leaving me just enough time to get to school at 7:45 for my 8:00 class. This has pretty much been my new routine for the past 3 days.
I slumped onto the couch, figuring I could take a quick power nap before having to become an adult in less than an hour.
That plan seemed to fail because I just laid awake for 20 minutes thinking about Elijah's stupid smile, before hearing movement from Val's room, then I hear a door creak open.
"Lulu?" Yep. That's me. Lulu, Bubba, Bubby, Lua. Any name that isn't my legal one, is what I shall be called when it comes to Val.
"Over here, Val." I call out quietly. Small footsteps padded towards me, signaling that she knew where I was. She crawled up onto the couch, cuddling into my side. I smiled lightly. "Hi, sweetheart." I say, running a few fingers through her thick, curly, brown hair. This is how most of our mornings go. We sit and cuddle for a few minutes before getting up and starting the day.
I won't go into too many details, because that's just boring, but basically I spent the rest of the morning getting Valencia ready, then myself, took her to school, blah, blah, blah. Now here I am. Standing in front of the school, preparing myself to get bullied, hit and tortured for 7 hours.
As soon as I enter the school, the same group of kids who tripped me the other day, marched up to me. Great, here we go. I noticed that Elijah was nowhere to be seen.
"Hey mate, no hard feelings about yesterday right?" The rough lookin' one, punched me lightly in the arm. "It's all just jokes and banter. Don't take it personally." God I wanted to punch him in the face. Instead?
"Yeah, it's all good mate."
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer I guess.
