I think we all fell asleep. At least I did. When I woke up, it was to the sound of Dani's damn alarm. It sounded like a singing rooster. She didn't wake up to it, but I did. I grabbed her phone and shit off the alarm as quickly as I could. It was annoying and didn't want Dani to wake up yet. I was going to call in for her, I'll leave a note and say the school thinks she's sick.
Liam didn't come home last night, his car isn't there when I look into the driveway. There is another car though, I've never seen it before. I think it's Marks, but I want to know when they got home last night. Mom still has to work and Cammi does too. I walk over to the bed and Jason is still asleep. He fell asleep at the foot of the bed last night. I'm still glad Dani's door automatically locks, it also helps that Liam didn't come home. He would have framed on our asses and made Jason walk his jockey ass home.
"Jase." I whisper. "Jason, get up."
He stirs a little and his eyes flutter open. "Shhhh, be quiet. I'm going to call the school and tell them that Dani is sick. She doesn't need to go today, it's Friday anyways!" We whisper back and forth for a while, finally he gets off the bed and I cover Dani with blankets. She doesn't wake up so I grab my phone and Jason and I walk out and head to my room to get ready. He stays over a lot, so he has some clean shirts that I threw in my closet. We walk into the close and he grabs an American Eagle one, it was navy blue and had the letters "AE" on the front, beside an eagle. He slipped the one he was wearing off and put that one off.
I walk over to my dresser to skim through my jeans. American Eagles jeans fit me the best since I have curves, as in, big ass, boobs, and an hourglass figure. Almost all of my jeans have holes in them, it's a good thing my school doesn't give a fuck! I slip off the ones I'm wearing and unfold the ones I grabbed. I grabbed a pair of dark blue jeans with two holes on the left leg and three on the right. I walk over to my shirts and start to search for a flannel. I love flannels, I wear them all the time.
I search for a while and finally find the one I'm looking for.
"Grab me a gray tank top out of my dresser. You should know which drawer." I ask
He tosses me a tight gray tank top and I slip off the one from last night. I'm still wearing the same bra and underwear, but it doesn't matter. I wear my bras a few times before washing them anyway. I put the flannel on and leave it unbuttoned. I walk over to Jason and hol my arms out, he knows I want him to roll up the sleeves and that's what he does.
"Are you ever gonna learn how to do this yourself Ali?" He giggles at himself and smiles at me.
"Probably not, you know, I'm lazy as eff!" I smile and give him my other sleeve to do.
Jason rolls his eyes then starts to work on my sleeve. Once it's rolled up, he lets go and I hug him. He hugs me back, not asking questions or trying to feel m up. He just hugs me. There's a lot going on right now, I don't know how to handle it. Finally I let go and put my phone in my back pocket. I pick up our dirty clothes and throw them into my laundry hamper. I've been doing my own laundry since the day mom, Dani and I moved in with Liam. That's about three years now. Whenever Jason stays I do his laundry too, so I just put his in the hamper with mine.
I pull out my phone and check the time.
"It's 7:05 Jason, we'll have to get going soon." I tell him.
Whenever Jason stays on school nights, we leave around 7:15 A.M. We also drive to school when he stays. Sometimes I drive to school, but not often. I like the bus, so there's really no point to waste my own gas money when I could ride the bus. I grab my no show Vans sock and lip them on. I walk over to the shoe rack and grab a pair of gray Chucks. Jason walks over to see what shoes he has here.
He wears a lot of Jordan's and Vans. He grabs a red and black pair of Air Jordan's and slips them on. He ties them and tucks the laces under each other. He stands up and we start to leave the closet.
"Will you go grab us some waters while I touch up my makeup?" I ask. He looks at me like I'm insane.
"You don't need makeup, but fine!" He responds. "I'll wait downstairs. Are we taking the jeep or Camero"
I pause to think.
"Camero." I tell him
He nods his head and walks downstairs. I touch up my eyeshadow and put mascara on. I put a light layer of eye liner on and head downstairs. Moms laying on the couch with Cammi and Mark is on the love seat. They're all passed out and I need to wake them up. But first I grab moms phone so I can fake being her. I dial Ridgemount's number and call. The phone rings three times and Mrs.Dawn answers, she's the secretary.
"Hello, Rigdemount High, this is Sherry."
"Hello, this is Dani Walker's mom, she's sick with a fever of one oh four. She won't be at school today." I say this as "motherly" as I can.
"Dani Walker..." Sherry, Mrs.Dawn, mumbles to herself, probably looking Dani up to mark her absent. "Alright, I got it! Hope she's feeling better soon!" She says.
"Thank you, bye." I respond.
I shake mom and she wakes up. "It's 7:15 mom, you have to go to work in an hour." I say annoyed. "Cammi does too, wake her up and I'll get Mark to leave. Dani is sick and she's staying home. Don't wake her up, she couldn't fall asleep last night. Jason and I are leaving for school as soon as Mark leaves." She looks irritated and confused, it would suck to wake up to this I guess. I can already tell she has a hangover.
"Jason!" I yell, louder than I need to, but I'm trying to teach mom a lesson. She shouldn't drink on weeknights. At least not that much. She grabs her head and looks dizzy.
"Already got it!" He yells back, louder than he needs to also. He knows what I'm doing.
He walks in with a bottle of asprin and a bottle of water. He sets in on the coffee table and goes over and shakes his mom awake.
"Ali and I are leaving for school." He tells her, he seems annoyed too. "You might want to think about showering and getting ready to go to work."
I walk over to Mark and shake him awake. I'm nicer to him than I was to mom.
"It's 7:15 Mark, you have work right? There's some asprin on the table and a bottle of water. We're leaving for school, and mom and Cammi have work. It was nice to see you!"
I give him a hug and he still seems kind of dazed. I know I'm being short with them, but they were stupid to do that last night. They all knew they had work, but I can't play babysitter right now.
"We're taking the Camero mom." I tell her.
"Okay Hun..." She says back, holding her head in her hands.
"I've got the keys Ali, let's go. Love you mom, you too mom." He says kissing them both on the cheek.
"Nice to see you Mark." He says, giving Mark a fistbump.
"Love you guys!" I yell, really loud as we walk out the door and slam it shut, louder than needed. I think I got the point across.
"Sometimes, it's like having children when they're together..." I roll my eyes and Jason smile.
"You're right, they are children."
"You drive or me?" I ask.
"You can drive, I need to check my phone." He says as we get into the Camero.
"I still get to pick the music!" I say grabbing the aux cord.
I turn the car on and plug my phone into th aux cord. I turn on my phone and put on Spotify. The first song to come on is Colt 45. We sang along to that as we pulled out of the drive way and headed to school. Three songs later, Hello, All of Me, and I Wont Give Up, we got to school. Here goes the last day of "hell" before the weekend and New Year's Eve break.
