Let's Fix This

Chapter 5

It's finally the end of the day and I just want to sleep. The effects of crying are hitting me now, I've been slugging around for a while now. I place all my books in my locker since I really don't have any homework. I close my locker and walk out the school. Woohoo, going home. I start walking down the street but then a car pulls up, giving me a heart attack. I grab my chest and breathe heavily. 

"What the- Henry!" I yell as I see him smiling at me.

"That wasn't funny you could've killed me." I grumbled. 

"Nonsense. Get in." He says with that stupid smile and I get in. I forgot, I'll be residing with him. 

"Okay so where's your house?" He asks as I finish putting my seatbelt on.

"Just go straight til Orchard Road, make a left and stop at the 6th house." I say, thankfully I don't live too far from the school.

"I live 2 streets down from you." Henry comments. THIS KID HAS PRACTICALLY BEEN AROUND ME FOR YEARS HOW HAVE I SERIOUSLY NEVER NOTICED HIM?

"How have we never met before?" I ask aloud, much more calm than my outburst in my head.

"I really don't know." He says and then drives off. I turn on the radio and literally my song comes on.

"GOD DAMN! SEE YOU LICKING FROSTING FROM YOUR OWN HANDS WANT ANOTHER TASTE I'M BEGGING YES MA'AM I'M TIRED OF ALL THIS CANDY ON THE DRY LAND, DRY LAND OHHH" I sing rather loudly. What I didn't expect was for Henry to open his mouth and sing too.

"Waste time with a master piece, don't waste time with a masterpiece, you should be rolling with me you should be rolling with me ah, you're a real life fantasy" 

"You're a real life fantasy, but you're moving so carefully let's start living dangerously" I sing graciously.

"Talk to me baby, I'm going after this sweet craving whoa-oh, Let's lose our minds and go fucking crazy" Henry sings and I gasp loudly.

"Oooo, Hen say bad word!" I say in a baby voice. He laughs and stops the car. 

"Alright Char, no more bad words from me. Get out, get your stuff and just yell if you need help." Henry says, like he's my volleyball coach. I sigh, dreading going inside. I get out the car, leaving my bookbag and I walk to my front door. I pull the key out of my mailbox, worst hiding spot ever, and unlock the door. I step in and my eyes water. Dammit, gain control! I dash straight through the house, straight up to my room. Thank goodness I've always been plain. I open my door and go to my closet. I pull out the suitcase I have, already packed too, and open it. I grab my chargers and dump them in the bag, I grab my laptop and place it in the bag. I go back in my closet and get my cameras which I also place into my bag. I close my suitcase and leave with out closing any doors. I rush out the front door before I get too teary-eyed.

Once I'm back on the front porch, I take a few seconds to breath and after 5 deep breaths I feel fine so I head to Henry's car. I put my suit case in the back seat and sit in the passenger seat. I groan and wipe my eyes. 

"Okay she's in now, I'll tell her." Henry says pulling me away from my emotions. Who's he talking to?

"Alright, thanks Mr- uh I mean thanks Ron." He says unsure and hands me his phone. I take it as he starts the car, I look to see it's actually my phone. Wait a minute.

"I don't know anyone named Ron?" I tried to state but it came out as a question. 

"It was Markov, he called to tell you that your mother is looking for you. She actually tried to arrange a meeting but he told her that he's booked for the next week." Henry informs me and this time I huff dramatically.
