After 40 minutes I decided to make my way home. Since I didn't have a sweatshirt Ricky gave me his Nike one. I took the long way home. It was so dark, silent and lonely. I was kinda hungry. I walked past a 24 hour cvs and decided to go in.
I was greeted by an older lady behind the counter. I went to the bathroom and wondered. I couldn't stop thinking about my dad. I was teared up again and my mascara was running. I got a water and a bag of chile cheese Fritos ( my favorite chips ) and checked out.
I walked back out to Rosie avenue and sat on the corner. The breeze blew my hair and I are my chips crying. I sat there thinking about Ricky. I thought that he was kind, and liked how he held me, I felt safe... Wait did I like Ricky?? I think I might like Ricky.. "But he's my last priority.. But he could be my first" I said to myself.
I shivered and started to walk home, it was 11 at night and I thought I could sneak in and sleep. I climbed up my tree and plopped down instantly.
The next morning I woke up to my phone buzzing. 310-806-6992 was the number, it didn't look familiar. I rubbed my eyes and answered it. "Hello?" I mumbled. "Is this Chloe?" A voice said. "Uhh yeah who is this?" I questioned. "Ricky.. How are you?" He said and I started smiling.. "I'm pretty good. I just woke up" I said yawning. "Oh sorry if I woke you! You gonna be at Linda's today?" He asked. "I'm going in 10 mins I gotta get ready" I explained. "Okay I'm here, Bailee gave me your number so your not weirded out" he said chuckling. "Yeah I figured" I said giggling. "Alright see you in a min" he responded. "See you Ricky" I added. "Oh hay Ricky.." I added. "Yeah?" He asked. "Can I wear your sweatshirt?" I asked. He paused for a second. "Yeah.. You can." He said and I smiled.
I got out of my bed and put black leggings on and Ricky's sweatshirt. I took my hair down and it was krimpy.
I put converse on grabbed my bag, phone and climbed down my tree.
I got to Linda's and walked inside. Ricky was sitting in a red t-shirt and black joggers with a puppy next to him. Bailee was behind the counter in a flowy white shirt and black leggings with a messy bun. "Hay Chloe I said you didn't have to work today" she said and hugged me. "I chose too" I smiled at Ricky.
She looked at me looking at Ricky and smiled at me.
