My Heart Belongs To You

My Darling

Chapter 12

Laney

   I woke up to the smell of bacon coming from the kitchen. I was still in my pajamas when I walked in and poured myself a cup of coffee and sat at the kitchen table.
    "I'm gonna be out of town tonight Laney" Mom says serving me a plate of bacon, eggs and toast.
     "Oh." Is all I could say. Its been awhile since mom had to be out of town. Most of the time its usually for work but it was a Saturday so where was she possibly going? I didn't wanna know so I didn't bother to ask.
     "I will be leaving right after I get off work so are you gonna be okay to be by yourself? If not I could call Gail from down the street." Mom says while putting on her coat.
       "I'm 18 mom that's not necessary. I'll be fine." I quickly said. Gail wasn't so bad but it would be embarrassing to have a babysitter when I'm literally old enough to be by myself.
      "Okay. Well lock the doors and don't stay up too late." Mom says sternly.
      "Got it mom. Invite everyone and house party starts at 9 pm." I joked.
     "Good just make sure everyone cleans up after." Mom jokes back.

      After mom left I finished my breakfast and cleaned up the kitchen. I went upstairs to brush my teeth and checked my phone. There was a missed call from Andy and a few messages from him as well. I texted Andy back letting him know that I have the house to myself and asked if he can come over later. He replied not to long after saying that he will be right over after his rehearsal with his band.
       

     I wasn't too sure how I was going to spent the rest of my day since there wasn't really nothing to do so I grabbed a book that I have been putting off for quiet some time and gathered some pillows and buried myself into the couch with my book.

     I must've dozed off from reading because it was nearly three in the afternoon when I looked at the time. Boy was I hungry when I woke up. I made myself a sandwich and ate it with some chips. I cleaned up the house and straightened out the living room. I took a long warm shower at least before Andy came over. I threw on a pair of  blue jeans and Motley Crue shirt. I decided no makeup and applied my strawberry chapstick.

     I looked at the time and it was a quarter past six. Andy messaged that he would be over after eight and that he had to take care of some things with his father first. Just enough time to spent the next hour filling out my college applications to different schools.

Andy

      I messaged Laney that I would be over after eight. I didn't tell her that I was in the middle of a argument with my father over the same shit. I don't understand why he has such a problem with my girlfriend and how she would slow down my music career.

      "Fuck dad I can't keep having the same old fight with you everyday!" I yelled running my hand through my hair.

     "Then you know what you need to do! She has different plans! So do you! But yours are so much bigger than hers!! And your not about to put all that on hold for a girl!" My dad shouted.

     "That GIRL is my girlfriend dad!!" I shouted back.

    "You don't see it do you?! How is it going to work when she has a different career path?! Your not going to jeopardize all the hard work you have put into your music!!" Dad shouted.

     "You know what dad...I can't do this! I'm out of here." I walked out of the house slamming the door behind me. The adrenaline inside me was on fire. I got in my car and drove. I went into a parking lot and parked the car. I sat there for what seemed like almost an hour thinking about everything. My dad. My music. My life. Laney.

     The sun had went down already and it was dark out. It was ten minutes to eight and I had to get going. Hell, all I wanted was to see Laney. Just the sight of her will make this shitty feeling go away. I pulled the car out of the parking lot and drove straight to Laney's house.

      I drove up into the driveway and turned off the ignition. I took a deep breath and walked up to the front door. I pushed on the doorbell and it wasn't too long after Laney answered the door. And just like that...my shitty feeling was gone. Fuck. She is gorgeous.

"Hey darling." I smiled.
