Make Me Breathe

Chapter 33

"Oh, ouch, really kid? Can't I get through one day???" I talk to my stomach

"Who are you talking to?" Mason pokes his head in

I point to my stomach.

"Oh"

"Don't you have work?" I ask

"They changed my hours." he says getting out orange juice.

"To when?" I say sitting down

"12-10" he says pouring a glass.

"That's late..."

"Yeah, but later hours get more pay."

"Oh, that's good!"

"I guess, and I get to sleep in and eat breakfast with you"

"Why don't other guys go for those hours then?"

"You can't, you have to earn them." He says handing me a glass of juice.

"Nice"

"It is" He says kissing my lips

--

"I've got to go to the store." I say after I get dressed.

"Why?" Mason asks tieing his tie.

"I haven't gone in ages, except little things from the market."

"I'll go if you don't feel good"

"No no, i've got it, thankyou though."

"Bye love" Mason says

"Bye Mas" I kiss him and he heads out the door.

"Agh, ah, yeah, okay, no." My stomach hurts so much.

I sit down on the couch for a while until my stomach stops hurting.

"Geez kid." I grabs my bag and open the door to leave when I see a girl.

"Uhm, hello?" I say to the girl, about my age, standing outside my door.

"Hi, Is Mason here?" She asks

"Who are you?" I say closing the door.

"I'm Melody, so is Mason in there?" She points to the door.

"Uhm, how do you know him?"

She looks down to my stomach, then back up to my face.

She smirks.

"I'm his girlfriend" She crosses her arms.
