The sound of my alarm clock buzzing and echoing through my room made me get up in a panic. Once I turned it off (and actually got out of bed 30 minutes later) I realized I was alone in my bedroom and I was okay. "Calm down Hailley. It's just your imagination. Get it together." I muttered to myself.
I eventually rolled out of bed and began moving to my dresser to look for an outfit to wear today. But that didn't really work out because I would find something to distract me every 5 seconds.
Finally after about 25 minutes of searching I found the perfect outfit for today. Today's really important you see, because I'm going to be...STAYING HOME ALL DAY BY MYSELF AND WATCHING NETFLIX! Throwing on the grey joggers, and black t shirt, I quickly grabbed my tan sweater and began making my way to my bedroom door.
My brother has a meeting with his new principal and I get to do the honor of staying home by myself and doing whatever the hell I want.
I would go out and explore, but since me and my mum and my annoying as hell little brother just moved here, my mother doesn't really want me alone out there yet. She doesn't really...ugh what are the words I'm looking for? Oh yeah! Trust me.
She doesn't believe that I'll stay out of trouble and just remain calm and collected. But someday that'll change....I know it will.
Walking to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth, I felt a pain on my foot. Looking down, I saw I had stepped on one of the brats little Legos.
"CHARLIE! PLEASE DONT LEAVE YOUR LITTLE SATAN TOYS IN THE HALLWAY!" I yelled down to the living room. "SORRY HAILLEY! MOM AND I ARE LEAVING SOON, CAN YOU PUT IT IN MY ROOM?" He yelled back.
Yes I know, such a nice quiet family.
I quickly finished up with my daily routine and I began running down the stairs to catch my mom before she leaves for the meeting, but alas...the dreaded staircase bullied me and I tripped and fell down the last three stairs.
Quickly getting up and brushing myself off, I walked over to my lovely mom and the little shit.
"So you're sure you'll be okay here by yourself for the day Hailley?" My mother asked me while raising one eyebrow. "Yes mom I'll be fine!" I said laughing off what she said lightly.
"Don't go all bonkers Hailles! You don't wanna make us move again! I like it here!" Charlie barely got to say because my mother took the opportunity to slap my brother in the back of the head, just hard enough to make him rub it.
"Charlie be quiet and go put your shoes on." My mother said in a ticked off voice. Wow, it's only 7:37 in the morning and my mom is already mad at my brother for something. I would say this is a new record, but sadly it's not. Ah summer of 2014 road trip. You bring lots of memories. Like my brother screaming at 5 am because his toe hurts.
"Okay mom, you can trust me here alone, I swear I'll be fine." I say with a smile. "Alright Hailley...just call me if you need anything." She said wearily and picked up her keys off of the counter.
"Come on Charlie!" My mom yelled to the top of the stairs. And in a flash he came running down the stairs and out the door he went.
Once I was alone in my (fairly big) house, I decided to get a bowl of captain crunch and watch another episode of "Keeping up with the kardashians!"
Yep. You heard me correctly. This show is my guilty pleasure...and I watch it all the time when I'm alone.
I was laughing at a dumb comment Kim's mom made about bangs when I was rudely interrupted by a knock at the door.
