Tainted Screws (Slow Updates)

Chapter 1

I loaded the last box into the moving truck then took a long last look at the house I grew up in. I finally managed to persuade my parents into letting me get an apartment and I've never been so excited. It's about time that I started feeling some independence, I am a twenty-one year old man now.

Although, I do feel kind of bad for leaving my parents, being that I am their only child. But I need to start doing things for me, and stop trying to please everyone like I always do. It's a bad habit that I need to rid myself from immediately. I've officially started by telling my parents I want an apartment and actually going by my word.

I walked back into the house and approached my parents to say my final goodbye. My dad had his arm around my sniffling mother. If there's one thing I hated in this world, it's to see my mother cry.

"Mom, it's not like I'm moving to another state, I'll still be here." I wrapped my long arms around her small frame.

"I know, it's just...you're my baby boy, and I want you to stay here with me." She sniffed.

I squeezed her tight and let her cry into my t-shirt. She clung to me tightly for two minutes and I glanced at my dad.

"Honey, let go of the boy, he's suffocating." He gently tugged her off of me.

"I'm sorry, I'm done." She giggled.

"Son." My dad started as he held out his hand for me to shake and I took it. Then he unexpectedly pulled me into his hard chest for a short hug. "I'm gonna miss you bud."

"Gee, guys, you're acting as if this is the last time you're seeing me; I'm just moving out." I said scratching the back of my neck. My parents could be very clingy, especially since mom couldn't have any more kids. I was kind of her "miracle baby".

I waved the moving men over, so they could follow my car. After saying goodbye once again, I begin my drive to my new home.

There's at least a ton of boxes. Boxes I do not intend to unpack tonight. I plopped down my brand new sofa, a surprise by my parents pre-furnishing my apartment. This is a new chapter in my life where I finally feel like an adult. My friends wanted me to meet them at the bar to celebrate my adulthood, but I declined being that I wanted to spend time in my humble abode.

After three hours of binge watching tv, I decided to call it a night. I took a shower and plopped on my new king sized bed, knowing I have a whole lot ahead of me tomorrow.
