Desiree's POV

"Mom I'm home!" no response like always. I walked into the kitchen and saw a note on the fridge.

Desiree,

I'm working late so I left $30 on the table for you to order yourself a pizza or something. Don't stay up too late and don't destroy the house.

                                                                                                                                      ~MoM

Ugh Typical. We just got here and she's already working late night, whatever I got the house to myself. I grabbed the $30 off the kitchen table and headed upstairs to my room. I looked up local pizza places and dialed the number of the closest one. "Hi can I get and order of buffalo wings and a Large Pepperoni pizza". 

"Anything to drink miss?" 

"A strawberry milkshake" 

"Ok your total is $18.50 your order should arrive in an hour" 

"Thanks" I hung up and went to shower my school day away. I slid open the shower door and realized I forgot a towel, dammit! O well I'm home alone I'll just go get one. I hate when I forget my towel because now I feel air in places that I shouldn't and it's so uncomfortable. I got a towel out of the closet in the hallway and was going to retreat to the warmth of the bathroom when I heard a knock on the door. Shit, it's probably the pizza guy! "WAIT A MINUTE PLEASE!" I ran to my room and threw on my underwear and bra.

Another knock, o god "HOLD ON A MINUTE I'M COMING PLEASE DON'T LEAVE WITH MY PIZZA!" I grabbed a black t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants that were on my bed and ran towards the steps. I tried to put my sweatpants on while running down the steps which caused me to slip off the last step and bust my ass on the floor. I got up rubbing my sore butt and pulled my shirt on as I opened the door. "Sorry I was in the shower I didn't mean to make you wai-AIDEN!" 

The curly haired boy grinned at me as he leaned against the doorframe. "I heard you fall down the steps" 

"O shut up pizza delivery boy" I glared at him as I gave him the money.

"Hey it's a living, by the way do you need me to bring this in for you it's kind of heavy. Why would you order a large pizza for yourself?" 

"How do you know I'm by myself?" I eyed his suspiciously. 

 "You had to run out of the shower to answer the door. If you weren't alone someone else would've answered the door. I guess I put two and two together". He shrugged 

"I guess you can bring it in, thanks Aiden" 

"No problem" He placed the pizza on the kitchen table and headed back towards the door "See you at school tomorrow Desiree" 

"Bye Aiden" I waved at him as he got in the delivery car and drove off. I sat down on the couch with my pizza and wings on the coffee table as I turned on the tv. I did my history homework as I watch Star Wars and ate my dinner. This is how it usually is, I eat dinner alone almost every night. If my mom was here we would eat dinner together but we wouldn't say a word to each other. I miss the family dinners, I miss my family. The way we use to be, when my mother would smile and we would have movie nights together. Those were the days, days that only exist now in my memories. My mother hasn't smiled at me in 10 years. I barely even remember what she looked like with a smile on her face. It's like she has a permanent frown. I sighed and pulled my phone out my pocket. I clicked on my dads contact and called him, after a few rings it went to voicemail. i sighed "Hey dad, just calling to tell you about m school day. It was pretty cool, I think my favorite class is going to be music. Anyways talk to you later, love you bye." I hung up my phone and turned off the tv. I went to the kitchen and put the leftovers in a tubberware for my mom in the fridge. I headed upstairs and laid in my bed, the loneliness sinking in as I listened to the silence that was filling my house. The tears rolled down my face as I snuggled up to my pillow. When will this emptiness inside me be filled with love again?
