After the incident . The car was once again silent. It's usually like this: I freak out and then for a moment after the time slows and I realize the predicament I'm in.
I'm a product of a deadbeat abusive dad and a train wreck of a mother who both abandoned me to run away with each other. And who was I left with as my caregiver ? my mom's gf Brenda aka Ms.Thomas
Yeah. Talk about dysfunctional
She doesn't give me special treatment during school hours 0r anything like that. We kind of have this thing where we act like we don't know one another and it's working perfectly fine.
" any ideas for dinner " she asks while parking the car and taking the keys out the ignition
" We have leftover Chinese food from yesterday. Can we finish that ? i suggest
" That works for me. I will be grading most of the night anyways. " she says
" No, you're not helping. You barely get sleep on a regular night so I'm not going to allow you to help me and you get less sleep than usual. " she continues me
" I guess you're right. I'm gonna go shower first before I eat . " I tell her as I walk away
" Alright, that's fine but save me some hot water. Dammit, I'm tired of taking warm showers. " she yells behind me
" i'll try, ' i whisper
Turning on the shower I allow it to run a bit before getting in. As I wait for the shower i receive a text
IMESSAGE : UNKNOWN
929- xxx- xxxx: Hey this is Venus right ?
ME : yessir or ma'am. wait umm who is this ? and how's you get my number ?
NEON 💚 : umm this is Noah
ME : ahh Neon what's up ?
NEON 💚 : We have plans this weekend , Saturday at 11am
ME : what's the plan ?
NEON 💚 : We can go out and get food , then go from there.
ME : hmmm okayy. how should I dress ?
NEON 💚 : comfortably ;)
After locking my phone I remove my clothing and step into the shower sighing as the hot pellets hit my back. The shower water is fast and hot almost painfully but I can't fathom the strength to fix it.
" Hey siri play single by the neighborhood "
" playing Single by the Neighborhood "
" I don't know if we should be alone together I still got a crush, that's obvious. If nobody's around, what's stopping us? "
As the song plays on I began washing and rinsing my body repeatedly. And I know I've washed more than enough when the first few chords of daddy issues start to play from the Wiped out ! album
