Breaking point

CHAPTER: 11

Getting home, I walk through the front door and am greeted by the week one pregnant women to my left.

"HI! Vanessa." I say happily.

"What has you all chippy?" She asked in confusion, with squinted eyes.

"Well, I learned I can fight really well, I'm really liking this school." Still smiling from ear to ear.

"Oh. Okay! Well, I guess I'll see you around 6:30 for supper?" She asks.

"Indeed you will." I run up the stairs and throw my bag at my desk sitting down and getting started on my homework. I didn't have much figuring I am new, but I still had a few papers.

I finish by 4:45, and got some shorts and a tank-top on and walked downstairs. I see Vanessa cooking lasagna and garlic toast.

"That smells amazing Vanessa! I'm going out for a run I'll be back in time for supper!" I yell while I'm walking out the door.

"Okay Hun, be careful!" She screamed in response. I continue my journey down the car port, and walk down a few steps. Starting to run I put in headphones and turn on "Lana Del Rey's, High by the Beach" and start my journey into town. By the time 5:30 comes around I went to a piercing shop, and a salon. I wanted a new hairstyle, and something new, so I got spider bites.

At 6:15 I start running home, at a slow pace. After a while I'm a few blocks from my house, and I feel someone staring at me. I look around to see if I can spot something or someone, I see nothing. After I continue my journey I can still feel the eyes piercing through me. I quickly turn around to spot something, but once again there was nothing. Finally I enter my road and I can still feel the eyes. I don't look back, thinking no one will be there. So I continue my journey on my driveway, and up the few steps to my door. I enter cautiously and walk up the steps

"Supper will be ready in 30 minutes!" Vanessa yelled up the steps to my room.

"Okay, I'll be there!" I yell back in answer. "Daniel should be home from work in a bit!" She yelled again. I don't answer but I close my door, and lay upon my bed. I heard my phone beep on the Side table.

Hey!

Hey! What's up?

Just sitting around wanted to know if you would stay the night?

Sure, but first I have to eat dinner? And I'll be there!

Ok see you then!

I look through Instagram, liking some pictures of zodiac signs. I'm a Capricorn! Some of them are actually really true, but others aren't so much. I don't know really much about astronomy, but it's really interesting!

Thirty minutes fly by and I run down stairs and set the table, and get eating utensils.

"It'll be ready in a few minutes I just have to warm up the potatoes." Vanessa seemed really quite today, but other than that she was her normal loving self

"What's the matter Nes?" I'm not sure why I called her that, I never have before. She gave me a weird look.

"What's with the nickname?" She asked slightly giggling.

"I'm not sure, but what's wrong? You seem upset." She sighs and looks down.

"Well, I guess it's just because my emotions have been on the Frits because of the baby.  And you are growing up, and it's going to be a little rough taking care of a kid, since it's my first time, by the time we got you. You were already almost four so you didn't require as much attention as a newborn ." Oh, sometimes I forget she's pregnant, which probably sounds stupid, but with all this shit I'm going through it's understandable, I guess. Little after our conversation, Daniel walks in with a crate, I can already smell what it contains.
