8. River of Tears

"Up here, just a little bit further, how much do I owe you, sir?" I ask, pulling out the only card I haven't used all day. "Your total is on the screen, do you also need help with your bags?" I shake my head at him, while looking into the mirror. Instead of even looking at the screen where my total was I just handed him the card to swipe. I gather my things off the seat & make my way out of the car, grabbing my card as I do so.

I get to the front door with all of the bags, why did I have so many, dear God. Opening the door, I'm met by one of the staff members who offer to take my bags. Usually I'll carry them myself but today has been so draining I just can't. After handing my bags off to Jeff, I make my way to my bedroom. I'm exhausted, I finally get to my room &vI literally fell out on my bed. Almost crying at the softness of the pillows & sheets.

Bloop!

I pull my phone out of my back pocket to see the eleventh text message from Carson. Without even, opening it to read it I threw it over to the bean bag chairs. Turning over to look up at the ceiling, I soon drifted off into a deep sleep.

"Wake up everybody nomore sleeping in bed."

Opening my eyes to the extremely bright sun rays, I stretch my legs & tap the button on my alarm clock. Noticing I slept in yesterday's clothes I ran to the bathroom to take a shower. About ten minutes later I hopped out & dried off. I grabbed my phone out of the chair to see that it was dead. Walking over to my nightstand I take the phone and plug it into the charger cord. As i was doing so I caught a glimpse of the clock which showed, "12:45 p.m." I'd slept through my two classes for the day. Meaning, I can just lounge around today. I feel like after yesterday's emotional train-wreck, I deserve this day. Throwing on some pajamas I make my way down to the kitchen to see my favorite person, "Lewis, Lewis! Where are you dude?" He didn't answer, he must've went home early, that sucks. Walking over to the fridge I grab a water & noticing the note on the fridge, well I know what this means.

"Dear Darilyn, had to leave early today. Your parents are on a business trip & wont be back until Sunday. I'll be back as soon as I can, until then there is some leftovers in the fridge to last you.

-Lewis"

Well thats just great, I'm here all alone. I didn't even think about my parents last night. I head to the living room, grabbing my iPad & order some pizza because there is no way I'll be eating whats in that fridge today. I mean don't get me wrong, Lewis' spaghetti is delicious but, I need comfort food right now. I can't believe that Sadie knows, thats I like him. I can't believe that I like him..

I need some music right now, I turn on my laptop & connected it to my speaker. I typed in Pandora & logged into my account playing the Adele station. Instantly I regretted it, as Adele's All I Ask, starts to fill the room with her harmony. I close my eyes and hum along to the song & start to clear my mind of everything.

Bloop!

That could only be Sadie or Carson, I really don't want to talk right now. Hence, the reason I fled the scene where they were.

Knock Knock! Knock Knock!

Finally, I sigh in relief, pizza guys here! I can stuff my face & forget my troubles now. I walk over to the door, money in hand & open it to reveal Carson. Wearing a plain white tee & a pair of blue jeans with rips & a pair of white converse. Freezing where I stood, I couldn't speak or move to even close the door. Why was he here? Doesn't he understand what leave me alone means? I finally got the nerve to move & try to grab my pizza box & snacks from his hand but he moved away before I could grab it. "Give it to me! Its mine you imbecile." I say as I reached out to take it back but, was played once again. "Actually I paid for it, so technically its mine. I'll give it to you if you let me in Chambers."
