The Nerd is Actually Bad

Me Myself and I

Chapter 11:
Translations at the end of chapter.
IMPORTANT AUTHORS NOTE AS WELL, PLEASE READ.

My mouth is still hanging open. What the fuck just happened?
Did Alex Cross really just admit to liking our kiss?

I'm flabbergasted. Never in my life have I felt as confused as I have right now. I shake my head, he could just messing with me. He has to be.

I once again shake my head and finally get up from the booth.

I walk out of Larry's and into my car, making the short drive to my house.

I regret not going anywhere else.

When I walk inside the house, my dad is sitting on the couch in the living room with a cup of coffee in his hands, clearly waiting for when I would walk in.

I sigh loudly.

"De que quieres hablar esta ves?"

"What do you want to hear first? The bad news or the really bad news?" He answers me with a grim smile.

I groan loudly, and take the love seat that is across from the couch he is sitting on.

"I'd rather hear the really bad news first." I say with a frown.

He's the one that sighs really loudly this time. "You have to stay here in the city while I go on a business trip to Venice for a week."

My face scrunches up in distaste. Normal teenagers wouldn't mind their dad going on a week long trip, but I do. I don't need any more freedom then what I already have, my dad gives me a lot of freedom, in fact. The house always feels emptier than it already is without him, and the fact that I can't cook to save my life, I usually eat a lot of take out when he's gone; gets pretty boring when you have to eat it every day.

"Do you have to?" I whine.

"Yes, it is really important that I go. The company in Venice is having some financial problems that I must go solve myself."
I roll my eyes, but instantly frown in confusion.

"Wait, you said I will be staying in the city, I always stay in the city... in our house."

He makes a face, almost as if he knows I'm not going to like the answer.

"That's part of the bad news, you will stay in the city, just not in our house. You will be staying with your aunt Linda."

My eyes widen and I immediately rise from the love seat.

"Dad, that's not the bad news! It's the really really horrible news!" I scream with my hands in the air.

My dad shuts his eyes and rubs his forehead.
"I thought this would be a good opportunity for you guys to get along. I asked Grandma Rosa to ask her, and she agreed. Linda, recently bought a house in the city. There's no going back now."

"What the fuck, dad! I can't live with her for a week! I'll end up killing myself or her!" I scream.

My dad's face becomes red.
"Language Alina! Recently, that dirty mouth of yours hasn't stopped! Even better of an idea that you're staying with your aunt. She might be able to teach you some manners!" He screams back at me.

"Ugh! Fine, but I will not speak to her for the whole week!" I scream in frustration while harshly putting my hands in my hair and pulling.

My dad slowly breaths out.
"I really don't care. As long as you behave."

I swallow harshly and look at him.
"Are we done?"

"Yes. I will be leaving tomorrow at seven in the morning. Please wake up at six to take me to the airport; I would really appreciate it." He calmly requests.

I only nod, turn, and walk up the stairs and into my room.

I flop on my bed and stare at the ceiling.
Ayúdame mamá. I wish you where still here.

I sigh and look at the clock on my night stand.

Eight O'clock P.M.

I might as well go to sleep now.
I go to the bathroom and do my nightly routine and when I'm done, I set my alarm for five thirty, turn off the lights, and lay on my bed. I don't even bother to say goodnight to my dad.

------------------------------------
The next day, I wake up to G- Easy's Me, Myself, and I. Although tired, I silently sing the chorus to myself.

"Oooohoooh, it's just me, myself, and I, solo ride until I die, cause I got me for life. Oooohoooh, I don't need a hand to hold even when the night is cold, I got that fire in my soul!"

The song reminded me that for this week, it really is just going to be me, myself, and I.

I stay in bed silently singing the whole song and when it is over, I reluctantly get up and get dressed in sweats and a hoody.

I make my way outside my room and smell the fresh brewed coffee. I walk down the stairs and see my dad sitting on a stool by the kitchen island sipping his coffee and an extra mug placed opposite of where he was sitting.

"Good morning, dad." I say groggily sitting on the stool and taking a sip of the delicious coffee.

"Good morning, Alina. Are you ready?" He asks me with a sad smile.

I nod and get up from my seat and get my car keys from the counter. He gets up as well and wheels his black suitcase outside with me leading.

He puts it in the trunk and gets in the car with me.
The ride is quiet, both of us stuck on our own thoughts.

When I get to the airport I open the trunk for him and he goes and gets his suitcase out while I lock the car. We get in the airport, and immediately we hear the intercom calling for his flight.

"I guess this is goodbye, dad." I say sadly.

"I'll miss you so much, Alina. Please try to call everyday, and leave to your aunt'a today."

I reluctantly nod and give him one last hug and stand there until I can't see him anymore.

I sigh loudly.

For this week, it'll only be me, myself, and I... And my bitchy aunt who has probably made it her life's mission to ruin my life after I slapped her.

God help us all.

AUTHORS NOTE:
I updated! I'm not dead guys! I know that I always apologize for taking ages, but I can't help it! I've had the worst case of writers block and I've been working on taking down my other story to rewrite it, so if there's any Broken readers here, everything will be explained to you in an authors note in that book in about a week, so don't worry.

Thank you all for commenting in the help chapter that I posted, and by popular demand I will write all the books written in that chapter, BUT the first book that I will write is:
THE ONE WHO WAS LEFT BEHIND

I am so glad this one had the most comments, it is my favorite, and will be posted sometime this Summer! I might post the story but it will be posted as somewhat of a teaser. I will warn that it won't be posting until this Summer, but will welcome any readers who want to get to read the prologue that I will post and to anticipate The actual book.
