Remember Me?

Chapter 8

I was up in my room examining what I could change until I heard the doorbell ring. "I got it!" I yelled

Who would be at the door at 7 am? I looked through the peep hole and see a bald guy to close for my liking. I unlocked the door and was instantly greeted with hugs and slobbery kisses on the cheek. "Who is it Audrey?!" My dad says coming down from upstairs. My eyes widened as I saw what he was wearing.

A fly fishing rod was in one had and a camera in the other. His wading boots came up to his knees and a bandanna along with whatever those fishing hats are called. I couldn't help but cringe at the sight of fish bait hanging out of his pack

He walked over and kissed my forehead. "Yeah yeah good morning" I say and look back over to the bald guy who looked very familiar.

"Audrey you remember Mr. Rider?" My dad says and I look closely at him.

I gasp realizing it was him. "I know im handsome but not that handsome" he says and the three other baldies along with my dad start laughing. I just made a face, not knowing what was funny

"Well have fun and nice to meet you" I say then add "again." I hesitantly stuck my hand out in his direction

He shook it with a really creepy smile plastered on his face. "Dylan really missed you over the years, you know" I just nodded and stepped back

"We want to invite you to our thanksgiving dinner next Saturday" he says and I look at my dad begging him to say no

"Sure! Audrey will have time to catch up with her friends" he says giving me a glare

"We'll bye we are going to miss our chance on getting a boat!" One if the baldies says

You mean all you three are riding in the same boat? I don't think that's possible. I say in my head.

They then all turned to me with their eyes widened.

Shit! I said that out loud didn't I.

"Yes you did and watch your language young lady" my dad says. I wave and Mr. Rider ruffles my hair

I shut the door and leaned back on it blowing the loose strands of hair out of my face

I walk over to the couch and turn on the tv. Flipping through channels I had no choice but to watch this really cheesy scary movie

After about 15 minutes I was already covered in a blanket peeking between the cracks of my fingers and popcorn spilled everywhere.

"No don't open the door! Shes out to get you why would you go into a haunted house anyway!? You are so stupid! I yell in the middle if tears

All of a sudden "Breaking News" pops up in the screen and i groan.

After hearing the beginning of the presidents speech I flip off the tv and head to the garage

I make a mental list of everything I need for the makeover for my room. After getting everything I remembered the paint.

I whirl around, bumping a can of paint of its shelf. The cans careen down the aisle as if they we're trying to get away from me

The sky blue paint was already spreading towards my dads new tires.

If he sees one speck if paint I'm dead

I grab the nearest towels from the rack and started throwing them onto if the paint

After an hour, i was moving furniture back in and admiring my work. The pink walls were now blue and I threw away lots of old stuffed animals
