Welcome To My Life: TrusT5

Ch 28

Ch 28-

"Carter?" I ask, confused as I wake up without my best friend beside me.

I check the time, 12:43

He must not be far, its still early.

I put on a t-shirt, and walk into the kitchen. There's a note on the fridge-

---

Alex,

Your stepfather and I are gone for the week on strict buisness. We have to represent a brand new company in Seattle, and wont be back for 6-7 days. There's $200 in the cookie jar for food. Have fun, stay safe, be responsible

Love, Mom ♥

Well alright then, I'm home alone, like literally alone. Where is Carter!?

I open the fridge to get out the milk, walk over to the pantry to get sugar, and a box of rice crispies, and to the cabinets to get a bowl and spoon.

I make a bowl of cereal, and reflect on my life. Ughh, I'm horrible. Why do I cause so much trouble? I'm crazy, maybe its the people that I hang out with. No, I can't blame them for my mistakes. If only, I was the straight A, class president, good choice making, good girl. Maybe things would be different.

When I finish my cereal, I wash my bowl and go back downstairs to get dressed.

White t-shirt, ripped up Hollister jeans, and brown combat boots

I start to straighten my hair when I hear my notification ring go off. I check my phone hoping that its Carter so I would know where he is, that way I don't have to be so worried. To my surprise its from Griffin. Great.

*Hey, Alex, I need to talk to you, can we meet up?*

I let his message sink in for a moment before replying

*Umm, yea. The gas station is a bad place, so, I'll come to your park. K?*

I put on my eyeliner, and he texts back

*I'll be here. See ya.*

I don't text back, and grab my skateboard. I double check in the mirror, to ensure that I'm not forgetting anything, I grab my bag, and head out.

Hopefully, this time wont be as violent.
