Clarity

unexpected visit

The rest of the day went by fast I had no more run ins with the new kid. That guy pisses me off. I went to my car and hoped in driving home. I park my car in the garrage and walk to the door openning it.

"I'm home." I yell.

I here no answer so I set my bag on the bottom of the stairs and continue walking till I get to the kitchen I see a note on the fridge and take it off reading it.

Hazel,

We have things to take care of and will be gone for a couple of days Omar has made you dinner for tonight but you are on your own for the next few days. You know you can always call one of your friends to come stay with you. We love you and will see you in a few days.
-Love Martha

Yeah I'll call my friends... Not. Doing that will only put them in danger and I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something happened to them. I just put the note on the counter and walk upstairs with my backpack to work on homework. After about an hour of doing homework I walk downstairs and heat up my food. I sit down and the second I sit down the doorbell rings. I sigh but get up nonetheless I get up. I walk to our drawer with the hand gun in it and I put it on safety then slide it in between my pants and underwear. I walk to the door and open it showing The new kid with a smirk spread across his face.

"What do you wan't?" I spit at him.

"Chill cupcake you droped you book and I thought I would bring it to you." He says.

I look down at the book he has in his hand and see it is my notebook my writings about the night my family was killed. I quickly grab the notebook out of his hand hugging it to my chest.

"Thanks." I say looking him over.

He is wearing A white shirt with black jeans. He has on a black pair of shoes.

"I love the way you use your imagination to write those kinds of things." He says snapping me out of checking him out.

"Um... Thanks." I say looking down an my feet.

"Look I'm sorry for bumping into you this morning and for calling you a nerd and everything. It was my first do at the school and I'm sorry for crossing the line." He says.

"It's fine I just had a bad morning so I reacted inappropriately." I say back.

"I know this is none of my business but why do you have no friends?" He asks.

"I prefer to go solo." I say.

"That's what I said at my old school." He says.

"Yeah well its true." I say.

"Look I don't know what you are going through but I know from experience that going through it alone is not the way." He says.

"I have food waiting for me." I say getting annoyed of this conversation.

"Okay I will let you go but first can I have your phone?" He asks.

I give him a questioning look but give it to him nonetheless. He does something with it and hands it to me. I look at it and he put himself in my contacts.

"Text me if you need anything." He says.

"Will do." I say shutting the door.

I look back at my phone and his name is Ryker Dames. I smile to myself but quickly shake my head.

He is just trying to get in my pants. I tell myself.

I walk back to the kitchen and sit down to eat my food. After I finish I walk to the living room and I put on the movie Safe haven I Lay on the couch and watch the movie.
*****
When the movie is over I walk up to my room and I change into my spandex and just throw on a sports bra. I lay on my bed thinking of what Ryker said.

"Going through it alone is not the way"

I shake the thoughts away and close my eyes hoping I can get some sleep before the nightmares creep into my dreams.
