Avoidance Pulled Me In (completed)

Chapter 18

Chapter 18

            Argh, why was my head pounding? I opened my eyes slowly. Oh shit! The sun almost killed me just now. Homicidal giant, gosh.

            I looked around confused. Why was I in my living room? I was on the couch on my stomach and my arm was hanging down with a now empty vodka bottle.

            Shit, I must of drank the rest! Why the hell don’t I remember this? And why the hell is this couch so warm and uncomfy?

            I turned my head in slow motion towards the bottom of the couch only to meet my father’s face and wide eyes that wasn’t even an inch away

            “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” I screamed and rolled onto the floor. Dad came down in the process, too, and fell on me.

            “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” he screamed back. He jumped into a standing position and pointed his finger at me. His voice slurred with sleep and a bit alcohol, “Y-YOU INTRUDED MY BED!”

            I started, “Dad, no, I---”

            “He’s climbing you windows, he’s snatching your people up, tryna rape em so y’all need to…” Dad very loudly began to sing?

“…Hide your kids, hide your wife

Hide your kids, hide your wife

Hide your kids, hide your wife

And hide your husband

Cuz they’re rapin errbody out there

You don’t have to come and confess

We’re lookin for you

We gon find you

We gon find you

So you can run and tell that,

Run and tell that

Run and tell that, homeboy

Home, home, homeboy

We got your t-shirt

You done left fingerprints and all

You are so dumb

You are really dumb–for real---”

            “Okay, Dad, stop it!” I interrupted. “Why the hell are you singing the Bed Intruder Song to me?!”

            “Because you intruded my bed, duhhhh!” he slurred and fell on the couch asleep.

            That old man is a real idiot and now I have a hangover. I look at the time and my eyes pop out. 11:30 AM!!!!! Shit, I’m really late for school. Oh crap, Aubrey! I always pick her up every morning.

            I turn on my phone that I left on the coffee table yesterday. Dammit, Aubrey is gonna be pissed with me! Eleven texts and four missed calls from Aubrey, a text from Aiden, and one missed call from Brooke. Oh damn, it’s not good when Brooke gets involved!

            I read through Aubrey’s texts first:

            ‘Good morning, handsome’

            ‘Come pick me up, im done, J’

            ‘I love you & im waiting’
