Adien's Poem

Ch.8 Adien's Poem

I wake up hearing my phone alarm go off. Hmm... why hasn't my alarm clock went off? I laugh thinking maybe I destroyed it in my sleep...I open my eyes up to see my comforter is wrapped around me and that I am on the floor. Good way to start your day Ash..the voice in my head tells me..keep it up and you might survive the rest of the year..without your head of course..but still..

I uncurl myself but my right foot doesn't want to give up and gets stuck inside the sheet so I trip and my hands hit my bookbag..and then everything falls out...Damn it to hell.

I go to pick up everything when I notice the binder I put Adien's Poem in..I stare at it for what feels like an eternity.I never did see what he wrote on it. I open it up and read the lines again..something pulls at the back of my mind but it is quickly lost when I see what is written at the bottom.

Ash,

If you ever need anything..I am only one phone call away..

P.S. Please be careful around Liam.

Adien.

My heart stops..only one phone call away. I stare at the bottom where his number is written. I can feel the butterflies and I feel light headed.

Only one phone call away...

**I look at the message for awhile thinking over his words and put his number in my phone. Mixed emotions run through me. First I am excited...then nervous...then confused .. a question pops up in my head..why do I need to be careful around Liam?

I look up at the clock from the poem and realize I need to get ready before Emma shows up. I grab a lavendar shirt some black shorts and my converses. I quickly put them on and my makeup and look in the mirror...was I crying last night??I try to rememeber what my dream was about but all I get is a lot of nothin..not even a sliver. Nothing new right?So why do I feel so disappointed.

I walk downstairs to the kitchen and notice mom is at work again. I hope her bosses love her as much as she loves her work. She is always doing something different. One time I tried to get her to tell me about it, but when she showed me, it looked like it was in another language. I think about it and laugh it probably was in another language.

When the pop tart pops up, I reach for it like an idiot and play hot potato with it in my hands. What is wrong with me today? How much clumsier can I get? And I thought it was just the flip flops..maybe it's this dream thing?

I am pulled out of my thoughts when I hear a horn and bass. Well I see Emma is in a good mood...maybe she won't be too hard on me for yesterday. I run out to the car to see her smiling...and then I notice someone in the back seat..someone with dark hair and green eyes.

" Good morning Ash...you look beautiful as always..."Adien says in his sexy voice.

OH MY GOD! OH GOD! WHAT DO I DO??? I give Emma the 'what the hell look' and she just smiles...oooooooh this girl right here. I step into the car and make sure not to hit anything with the door..like my best friend for instance.

" His car got a flat tire this morning and he was standing on the road... so I offered him a ride.." Emma says out loud but in my head I can hear her laughing it up.

I stick my tongue out at her and she laughs.

" Oh come on Ashykins! Don't be like that..you know you love me and hey..it's not like you have a problem with me picking up this particular stranger now is it... and besides I just couldn't leave him there triple A would have taken forever! " she says all innocent.
