Wake Up Call

Not sure when we fell asleep, or even what time it was now, but we both woke up to the sound of foot steps upstairs, and the sound of my phone ringing,

"...When I go to sleep at night,

Your not there,

When I go to sleep at night,

Do you care,

I need to know, I NEED TO KNOW!,

Why are you walking away,

Was it something I did,

Did I make a mistake cuz,

I'm trying to deal with the pain,

I don't understand this, is this how it ends..."

"A trophy father, a trophy son?" Josh asked right once it stopped ringing, "yeah, that would be my mom calling". Yeah I had specific ring tones for some people, or well the only people who talk to me.

"So what's my ring t..." He was cut off from a women yelling Josh's name. "Crap, be right back" and he lifted his body off of mine, and off he went up the stairs. The floor must of been kind of thin, because I could hear what they had been saying, but only if I was super quiet.

"Hey mom what's up?" The sounds of his feet had stopped,

" just wondering what you were doing, what was that down there, it sounded like a ring tone" crap, I wondered if she knew I was over or at all that he had a girl over, this thought put a weird kind of scared face on myself.

"Oh umm, that was just a song, or well a ring tone. Just listening to different ring tones." Hmm, he didn't say I was there, or that it was just my phone.

"okay. Well what have you been doing all day?" Is he going to say he up hung out with me today, or is he going to lie about that too.

"Oh just hanging out with my one friend. We went and got something to eat and stayed at the diner for a couple hours" why isn't he saying my name, this just brought more questions to mind.

" okay, well at least your making friends at your new school. No one giving you a hard time?" After that I kind of zoned out.

It had been about half an hour and josh still hadn't come back down the stairs, I was beginning to wonder if he had forgotten about me, so I thought, why not text him and see what's up.

"Hey" not soon after I got a text back

"Hey :)"

"Did you forget something?" I texted back

"Nope. I know your still down there I'm just trying to get her to do something so I can get you out" In a way that kind of hurt, that he had to sneak me out of his own house.

"Okay" no text was received after that, so I just waited.

Looking at the time, i saw it was 8:36 Oh fuck. Well, I'm either going to have to wait a little bit more till josh finally comes down, or I'm going to make it seem totally rude, and just get up and leave while maybe making a big commotion.

As I sot out a plan on how I would exit, deep in my thoughts, I was pulled out by screaming,

I hadn't heard the first part but what I could make out was the women screaming.

"...have you done! The house can be infected with their germs! They don't even know how to clean properly!" This had definitely confused me to what she was yelling about.

Starting to slightly panic that she might me talking about me, I begin to think fast to get out, my only options were either the window over the microwave speaker, or the back door. So ran over to test the speaker if it could hold me, or at least be solid with speaker stuff, and it was. But I still had to test if I could stand on it.
