Ch. 9

  The next morning I wake up feeling like I'm going to throw up. I tried to get my mind off of it and just breathe slowly. That didn't work, so I ran to the bathroom. The only thing I had yesterday was a coffee. Before that I had subway. So I guess I haven't eaten enough, and that was my body's way of telling me that? I don't know.
  After puking I brush my teeth to get that awful taste out of my mouth. I also brush my hair. Which it is really tangled now because I put it up in a bun yesterday, and forgot to take it down to brush it. Uh!
I leave it down today. I usually do have my hair down because it hurts my head to have it up, but yesterday I was fine so whatever.
I then walk back to my bedroom and get dressed in my closet. It's a small walk in closet so I have room.
I put on a maroon crop top and black skinny capris. Since I'm just staying home, I go without shoes, but I do put on some black and white aztec design socks.

I'll stay home today because I have an appointment with Reeds, but tomorrow I'm out. There is no way in hell i'm going to let them keep me up in this house all week. Oh fuck no.
I walk downstairs and sit on the giant pillow. That's my new name for it. I reach over for the remote but then I remember I'm grounded. Great. So what am I supposed to do?
I decide to get up and go explore the house a bit. I haven't been in the back, or been down that little hall where Mark and Ethan's bedroom is. Down that little hall the first door on the right is their bedroom. On down a bit to the left is a hall closet. And at the end is the laundry room. Nice. Okay. In the back yard there is a porch with a table and chairs, and one big tree with a wooden swing. Awesome!
I swing till I'm really hot then I go back inside. I guess Mark and Ethan are still asleep so I go up to my room. I decide to do one thing good and gather up my dirty clothes and take them to the laundry room. I don't have many clothes to wash so I go ahead and wash them all together.
I then go back upstairs. I was going to go to my room but I decided to instead go to the family room. This place was cool. It had a big tv, a comfy couch, pillows and blankets stacked in the corner, and a book shelf. I think this rooms purpose it for movie nights. Which is great.
I lay down on the couch and stare at the blank tv.

"Uhhhhhh I'm sooo bored!" I say out loud to myself.

"Maybe you shouldn't have gotten yourself grounded!" I hear someone yell from downstairs. I think it was Mark. But dude I jumped, he scared me.

"Well i did! When's Reeds supposed to be here?!" I yell back.

"Around noon I think! I'm making pancakes how many you want?!" Mark asks.

"Umm just two!" I reply.

Dang what the hell am I supposed to do till noon?

  When Mark finishes the pancakes I go downstairs and eat at the table with him and Ethan. I put peanut butter on mine and that's it. I can't stand syrup. All it is is liquid sugar. Ew!
After eating I go lay down on the giant pillow and end up falling asleep.
  About an hour or so later I get woken up by Ethan telling me that Reeds was here. Okay, well, here goes nothing.

"Hi Ashton. where would you like to talk?" Mrs. Reeds says with a smile.

"Outside at the table. It feels good outside today." I reply leading her outside.

  We sit at the table and she gets a notepad and pen out. She's literally going to take notes like a therapist? Shoot me.

"I'm all ears. Tell me anything that you really want to get off you shoulders. Maybe something that you've been keeping bottled up. The more you tell me the better I can help find out why you want to be such a rebel." She says preparing herself to write.

"I want to find my mom." I said blankly.
