Its Not Summer Anymore

Chapter 10

"Y'all late for dinner. Now get your boney buts over here and eat." I smile at Rose yelling at us in her southern accent.

I take a seat and start eating. I grab some home made mash potatoes some home made green beans and some home mad steak. I dig in right away. Along with Derrick.

"Did you to finish that field?" Rose says cleaning up the kitchen. Swallowing the clump of potatoes in my mouth I say,"Yep just in time before the sun set." She puts the last glass away and grabs a seat at the head of the table.

"Well that's good." she says lighting a cigarette. I crave one but push it past me and stuff another fork full of potatoes in my mouth.

She sucks in on it and blows the smoke toward the fan and it rolls around the room. "So who's all still here." I ask trying to take my mind off the cigarette. "Well Stephen and Adam are in the small barn trying to fix up the racker. There's a bent piece. So their in there welding up a storm." She says waving a hand in the air. She sucks on the but and blows the smoke toward the fan. And say,"The girls are over at Matthew's house hang out with the boys. And that Tyler boy is upstairs smoking up a storm. I didn't want to bother him but he better quit before the boys come back inside and smell it. He didn't come down for dinner just been up there all night." She give me a strict look and says,"Whether he's you boyfriend or not he dose not get to lay a hurtful hand on you. And whether you like it or not after he leaves he is not welcome back here with you. You got that." She says. I nod my head and say ,"Yea I got it."

I finish my food wash my dish and ask Derrick to come up stairs to help me pack. We go up stairs and open the door to the first room I walk in and it smells like pot. Derrick says,"What's that." I cut him off and put my finger up to my lip signaling him to be quit. And he shuts his mouth. I walk over to my messed up bag with my clothes everywhere. I go through my bag looking for it. I search and search "Shit." I say in a whisper. I stand up and say to Derrick. "He fucking took my pot." Derrick gives me a strange look and says," You have pot in your bag?" I put my finger to my lips again and open the second door. Its very smokey I can barely see the next door. But I mange to find it. I open it letting a ton of smoke out causing Derrick to cough. But I'm used to it. I walk in trying to see through the smoke when I hit something with my foot. I look down. And find a very very very high Tyler. I grab the joint out of his hand and put it out. I walk over to the windows and open them all letting the smoke go out. I turn on the fan. And wait till it clears a little I find Tyler on the ground and look him over.

He looks like regular Tyler just higher then usual and more beat up. He looks at me and say,"Where's my joint?" I shake my head no and say,"Your done." I pick him up off the ground and Derrick helps me put him in bed. I pull the covers over him and say,"Tomorrow your going home. I will pay for your ticket and a cab for you to get home. You will go on with your life and won't text me won't think about me and will leave me alone. You will never hurt a girl again or I will be back to make you life hell. I am moving to West Virginia in a month and am going to leave you and Illinois behind." I tell Tyler that has probably already drifted asleep.

I close the door behind me and start packing. I grab some PJs a thong or two a lace bra a pear of jeans, shorts,2 T-shirts and a tank top. Derrick walks in and says,"Are you staying the night or the week? Either way fine by me." He says with a smile grabbing my huge make up bag. I say,"HaHa very funny. And a girl can never be to sure." I grab the heavy make up bag from him and he says,"And that is radicalise you cannot be able to fit that much make up on your face.". I roll my eyes and open the bag,"See its not all make up there's hair product, toothbrush, tampons, pads, Fix jel nail stuff,some prego pills,a hair brush a straightener and curling iron." I say putting my clothes in it and zippering it back up. "Fine its not all make up but it sure is a lot of beauty items for a already beautiful girl." He says grabbing my hips and pulling me to him and looking down at me with those goddest eyes. "Wait why are you on prego control?" He says pushing me away a little. I role my eyes and say,"My mom thought I was having on safe sex with Tyler so she made me promise her I would take them." I say going over to my bag and grabbing some more things. "You have been taking them right?" Derrick says concerned "Yea for 6 months now. Why?"
