Kisses on her Scars

Car rides

I woke up to the sound of my dog snoring loudly. It was pitch black and I could feel Zeke's arm around my waist. I slowly slid his arm off me and walked downstairs. Daisy followed behind quietly and I let her out the backdoor and left the door opened a crack so she could get back in. I walked to the refrigerator and grabbed a juice pouch. I slowly drank that till Daisy walked in. I shut the door and locked it again walking over to the trash and tossing the wrapper. I looked at the time and it said 3:47 A.M. I went to the living room and unlocked my phone and logged onto my facebook. I had a few messages, some notifications, and a couple friend requests. I opened my messaged and saw one of them was from Jai and another was from Trevor.

I opened Trevor’s first and it said  “Hey Miah!Your brother gave me your number along with the rest of the gang but he blurred the last numbers like he erased them so I finally found you on here. Message me back or call/text me my numbers 555-9876.”

Next I opened Jai’s message. “Hey sis….I miss you around here. I moved out. My mom and my dad got into a huge fight and things happened. My father is in jail and mom was sent to a insane hospital or something...I hope you are doing well. I tried to give your friends your number but I forgot the last numbers and was gonna guess but then just scribbled it out. I’m sorry...hope you get ahold of me soon ~Jai”

I smiled at the messages and decided to message them back later when they where on. I sighed and posted a status ~~Fun when you cant sleep, as long as he can I am fine (:  ~~
Within minutes I noticed people started to comment.
“Whoooo!” ~Paisley
“Well who is the lucky guy?” ~ Axel
“Ohhhhh Zeke stayed over huh ;)” ~Nolan
“Shut up Nolan! Youre such a bum xD” ~ Miah

I laughed and decided that was enough social media for tonight. I walked back upstairs Daisy staying on the couch. I got to my room and Zeke was laying on my bed sound asleep. He was in his clothes from last night and had my blanket around him. I smiled and laid down trying not to wake him but I failed. “Where were you?” He asked still half asleep. “I was getting a drink.” He moved over and made room for me. I got comfortable and then he smiled “Here” I looked at him and he got close to me and wrapped his arms around me again putting the blanket around me.

After a few moments of silence he spoke again “Can’t sleep?” I sighed. “I don't know yet. You?” I listened to him breathing. “I don’t know yet” “So how far along are you? If you don’t mind me asking.” I smiled “I’m almost 5 months.” I could feel him move his arm and place his hand on my stomach. “Are you happy….” He trailed off and I could feel his eyes on me. I thought about it and felt the tears form in my eyes. He sighed “I’m sorry I didn’t mean to upset you, I’m sorry I asked.” He hugged me and I laughed as the tears fell. “I'm happy yes...I’m just terrified of the thought to be honest.” He nodded and wiped my tears which made me laugh again. “I’m still sorry, and I will always be here for you beautiful.” I smiled and closed my eyes. His hand stayed on my stomach. After he fell asleep he rolled over and I placed my hands where his once was. I started poking my belly like I usually do to make the baby wake up for me. I placed my hands on top of my stomach again and waited. Like I predicted, I felt kicks all over. I smiled to myself and poked.

"Wake up sleepy head" I opened my eyes and jumped. Paisley was sitting on my floor with a water bottle in her hand. "Goodmorning sleepyhead" I smiled and then gave her a questionable look. "what time is it?" "Its about 11" I sighed and sat up. "Is anyone back yet?" She shook her head. "No not yet" I got out of bed and walked over to my closet. I grabbed a outfit for the day, a grey tanktop and a pair of black skinny jeans. Then I remembered Zeke. I quickly looked at my bed then to Paisley. She smirked at me. "He is in the shower downstairs." I threw my pillow at her and walked out to the hall and to the bathroom. I walked in and decided I needed a shower and actually do something with my life today because tomorrow was another week at school.

After my shower I put on my clothes and struggled to get my jeans on. "Ugh, come on you little stinker stop growing so much so I can wear pants." When I finally got them to fit it took me five minutes. I walked out of the bathroom and decided to go downstairs and eat something because I felt like I was starving. I called Daisy and she came running out of my room. "Hey girl" I rubbed her head and we walked downstairs to find Zeke and Paisley in the kitchen. "Well that took forever" Paisley laughed. "Well these damn pants are obnoxious" I said with a little bit of sass in my voice. "Rawr calm down tiger" I sighed and Paisley looked at her phone. "Well I am going to go and hang out with Travis, Message me if you need anything alright?" I nodded and she grabbed her keys and walked out. I listened to the front door close and looked at Zeke.

"So whats the plan my friend?" Zeke smile at me. "Well I made you some food cause I know that is the reason you are cranky, and then Im up for anything" I smiled and looked down. "Im sorry for being sassy." he got up and hugged me "Nah it wasnt even bad, now eat so we can enjoy the day." I smiled to myself and sat at the counter eating the toast and eggs that Zeke made me. As I was half way done I quickly ran to the bathroom as I felt it rising from my stomach. I shut the door quickly behind me and made it just in time. I heard a knock at the door and ignored it to again start vomiting.

I didnt hear the door open but Zeke walked in and pulled my hair out of my face and rubbed my back. "You dont have to be in here. "I mumbled. He didnt say a word. When I was sure I was all done Zeke left,  I stood up and wiped my mouth off and turned around to him holding my toothbrush and toothpaste. "Thanks" I gently took them and brushed my teeth quickly. "You know I will always be here when you need me to be and Ill be here even more when you say you dont." I looked at Zeke in the mirror and nodded. "I know, Im just not use to it yet" When I was all done I smiled at Zeke showing my teeth. "Beautiful" He laughed. "Zeke lets go to the zoo" he agreed and we decided to leave. 

Zeke helped me into the car like a gentleman and then got into the drivers side. I flipped through stations of songs and we both laughed at each others goofy singing and the weird faces we would make. At one point he even snorted which made me die of laughter. "I love driving, it lets energy out and lets you have fun." All I could do was nod in agreement. Just as I thought it was such a great day. I heard it. The sound that I heard many many years before. The same noise that made me a orphan. The horn filled my ears and then all I remember was the sounds screaming .
