Hollow

Chapter 11

I guess you can say I slept well, I slept VERY well

I "enjoyed" getting prepared to see my dad

I "enjoyed" hearing Timmy and his mom argue all night, even though this really doesn't concern Timmy

I also "enjoyed" falling off the couch last night because I had such a hard time sleeping.

Today is going to be a "Great day"

I felt like a dark cloud, not just a dark cloud, I felt like a dark cloud getting ready to form into a deep dark thunderstorm, with lightning and everything.

There was no bit of nervousness in my body, I didn't feel nervous. I felt very confident, (which is not something I usually feel.) I wasn't going to deal with anything fake today. . My dad may have got to control his life decisions but he is not going to choose mine, and I am going to fight him for my money to be kept with Miss Toledo. I don't care what it takes.

This will be my first, and last time seeing this, "Lonnie" name I keep hearing.

People thought I changed when Ma'am died, well I will show them how much I ACTUALLY changed. This whole quiet, depressed, sad Hollow was still in me, but the actual NEW Hollow I really am is a fireball, ready to shoot its flames at anyone who gets in her way. I already had enough changes, and this is not going to be another one.

Miss Toledo was busy fixing up the house to make it look presentable.

"Stop fixing the house up Miss Toledo!" I said angrily.

Why? She asked

"Nobody cares what he thinks about this house! He's just probably gonna come and go."

Hollow, stop talking rubbish. The house has to be clean for every guest, no matter if you hate em' or love em'.

I looked at her. She was dressed so formally. "Um.. why do you look so.... fancy? " I asked

"Oh.. well um. I just.. I haven't seen him in awhile. She said nervously.

"Come on... no Miss Toledo please.. Not him! Dress formal for anyone else just not him. Stop showing him that we care!" I yelled.

I stomped to Timmy's room to see if he cared if "Lonnie" was coming. I walked in and I then saw something I had never seen before..

A CLEAN room?

"What the- Timmy!? Why is your room clean?!" I asked.

"My mom forced me." Timmy rolled his eyes. "And she made me wear this!" He said angrily.

I walked out of TImmy's room and back to Miss Toledo. "Miss Toledo-" I was about to say.

I peeked at the window and I saw a large orange limo outside of our house. "He's here." I said nervously.

I thought I was going to be completely confident when he got here, but 70% of that confidence I was supposed to have, Turned into anxiety.

Miss Toledo patted herself down as Timmy rushed to the door. I ran and locked myself in the bathroom.

"Hollow!" yelled Miss Toledo, before the door opened.

I heard the door close and the house was silent. "Mary," A deep voice said. "Lonnie," she said back. That's all I heard.

I tried to pretend like I wasn't nervous and I put on my hood and put my hands in my sweatpants pockets, it was late June and I was sweating bad, but I wanted to show him that I could care less that he's coming, and pretend like it's just a normal day. Like he always did to me.
