Leaning to get out of the car, you take a deep breath in. Home at long fucking last. Taking in the beauty of the church, it seems as if she's happy to see that you're back as well. Me too hun, me too.
Breaking away from getting too far lost by looking at the sight in front of you, you take your bags from the car and begin your climb on the flight of stairs. It's all so surreal, you're actually back home, not just dreaming it. Stepping through the double front doors was like entering a whole other universe. Looking from the outside, everything looks as it always did. Organized, quiet, and peaceful. But on the inside it was too chaotic to even be described.
Papers were being handed out, some not even getting to the desired destination, but instead falling straight to the floor to soon be trampled over. Streamers, of all sorts of colors, were being hung up along the pillars that stood. Yells and hollers were coming from each end of the hallways, what they were about you had no clue. It was too loud to even think to yourself.
Then, suddenly, everything went quiet. No yelling or hollering, not even a whisper, hell you could probably hear a pin drop on the carpet that was set in front of the doors you just walked through. Standing there still, frozen in shock, at a loss for words, all that came out of your mouth was a simple, "Uhh.."
Before you had the chance to even process what the next thing to come out of your mouth was, someone yelled. They had in fact yelled so loud you thought your eardrums were at risk of bursting. "Cara mia!"(my dear)
Not even cringing away from the loud sound of the person's voice, as you already know who it is. A slight smile playing on your lips as you reply, "il mio topolino."(my little mouse)
"Oh my satans and everything unholy, you're back!" Rushing over to you, they had engulfed you in a hug. "It's been so long, too long. But you're back, for good hopefully." Pulling back from the hug to see the person's face, you could tell they were hoping for their statement to be claimed as true.
"Yes Pea, I'm back for good." You finish off with a breathy laugh and let a smirk sit on your lips.
Before either of you could continue on, someone in the crowd of people coughed. Looking over to try and see where the sound had come from, you soon realized your efforts were futile and gave up. Turning back to properly address the person in front of you, whom of which was still semi hugging you. "Well, I'm sure Sister would like to know of my successful arrival back, walk with me to her office?" Nodding profusely in agreement, you both start your journey down the hall.
Not a word was said whilst walking, both just being happy to be in the other's presence. Finally arriving at the destination, you turn to your left and ruffled Pea's hair a bit. Your goal being to slightly annoy him, but only gaining a heart stopping smile in return. "It's good to see you Copia, I must admit I've missed you. Well, you and your chaotic nature." Sending him a smile, you push open the door and enter the room.
