Promises

I Hope I See You Reading Again.

I hope I see you reading again. I hope I see you reading again. I hope I see you reading again. I hope I see you reading again. 

I jumped out of my bed and fell on the floor all wrapped in blankets. I was kind of upset I hadn't gotton any sleep last night considering the same phrase repeated in my head over and over again. What could that mean? "I hope I see you reading again..." Hmm. 

"Sweaty! Breakfast!" My mom yelled up the stairs. Hm, I must be up early. My mom makes breakfast for  my dad every morning and she calls me down to but I'm usually never awake. She calls anyway. I stood up and looked in the mirror. I was a mess. My hair was sticking up in every place possible not to mention how poofy it was from tossing and turning to much in my sleep. I had light cirlces under my eyes...nothing too bad. And my breath...ugh...I need to go take care of this. I ran to the bathroom to take care of everything. Even deciding to take a shower which I usually don't do 'till after breakfast. i quickly put my ocean blue robe on and walked slowly down the stiars so the towel wouldn't fall out of my wet hair. 

"He moooom," I called walking in the dining room sitting at the table. 

"Yes, sweety? Wow, you're up early and ready...what's going on?" She said seeing that I already showered. 

"Nothing, just had a bad night. Couldn't sleep." I grabbed a paper plate and started filling it with everything my mom made. Eggs, bacon, pancakes, and sausage. Then pouring syrup over everything except the eggs. "Wow, thanks mom. This is delish." I said taking a big bite of my eggs with extra cheese mixed in it and over top of it. Amazing.

"I make breakfast every morning if you would be nice enough to wake up and eat."

"It tastes better when you haven't had it in a while." I said stuffing my face. "Mom, I'm in the mood to put some stuff on my face with those cucumbers you use on your eyes? And soak my feet. Can we?"

my mom laughed. "Hunny I do this every morning so of course you can join me I have plenty of 'face stuff.'" She said laughing. 

"Cool," I smiled. 

I quickly finished everything then sat on the couch waiting for my mom to bring everything out so we could apply it to our face. My dad had already left for work whille I was in the shower so I didn't get to see him. My mom walked in and I started applying the green stuff to my face evenly when I saw something in the corner of my eye....a book. I got up slowly and picked it up examaning it. It was the book I read when I met rick. I hope i see you reading again.

"Oh my God!" I checked the clock. It was 830. Rick! The note he wrote me he'd said he hopes he sees me reading again. Maybe he's there! 

"What?" My mom said looking up from the mirror. 

"Nothing...I have to go." I ran up the stairs and into the bathroom washing everything off of my face. I quickly got dressed, said by to my mom and drove to star bucks. 

I looked around the stoor finally slowing down to catch my breath. He wasn't there. Dissapointment seemed to flood every vain in my body. I looked down at my book then up the person at the regester just staring at me like i looked like a killer. I sighed. If I was here I might as well read. I walked up smiling at the man and asked for a coffee. I paid the man and sat in the same spot I sat last time.

After just sitting there for a while and staring out the window, watching everyone that walked in out, or even by the coffee store just to see if someone was Rick. Noone was so I finaly just started to read. I started to get into the book. The girl was about to be killed by the person she thought she loved. The person who she thought hated her was coming to her rescue. Atleast I assumed the second part. Who else whould it be?  I felt someone breathing on my neck and froze.
