I wake up to miss Irwin shoving a phone in my ear. my mom jabbers on about how lovely London is.
"Oh darling ,how I wish you could be here to experience this time with us. I mean the snow has just blanketed the city . me and your father went on the London Eye and it was just , wow, I took pictures and will gladly send then to you if youd like ." i can see her making random hand gestures to express her words better. all I can muster to think is ,No mother ,i would not like to have you send me those pictures.
My father soon comes on the line ." thank you for saving me." I groan into the speaker.
"Now young lady," I can hear him say before shuffling in to another room," sorry had To get one chance to be alone. darling I'm sending lots of love that way . I got you a few souvenirs here and there. miss you loads . bye love" With the few parting words, he hangs up. Well that was short.
" Bye dad." I grin from ear to ear. I haven't talked to them In , well it seems like ages , which actually would be preferable for my mother , but my father knows me better than most.In that moment I realize how home sick I am .
I try to shake my sudden sad mood but all the recent activities of the night before come rushing into my mind and I feel like shoving my head down the toilet.
When I open the door Harry, Ashton's younger broter, passes and I almost slam into his little body ."I'm so sorry Hare!" I pat the top of his head and shrugs me off and continues his adventure. his sister isn't far behind smirking at me.
" Magdalena it's good to see you up and ready this early." I look down to see what miss Irwin Is referring to. I feel, an most likely look ,like a zombie,and remember I am still in my clothes from yesterday .
I quickly try to change the subject because I simply have no answer about why i slept in jean shorts ,other than my life is basically a big shit hole at the moment" miss irwin, I thought you knew better than to hand me the phone at nine in the morning. Especially with my mother on the other line."
"Doll, you wouldn't have accepted that call anytime of day so might as well do it when your only half conscious." I just laugh because it is obviously true. Walking into the kitchen should be a normal task, but I notice something is definelty not normal with the scene layer out in front of me.
The problem is silently sitting at the table eating his toast an Vegemite .I guess he just sensed my observing presence becasue he looks up and pushes himself from the table. He the places his plate in the sink with a light clink. I wasn't expecting him to come up and make out with me on the table, but I surely wasn't ready for him to flat out ignore me .
I've had way to many sleep overs with Ashton to know no matter how bad of a mood he is in ,when morning comes, we will always be the first to state formalities.
"Hi," I weakly say, barley audible. I don't dare to make eye contact.
I think I may hear a noise similar to 'umphh' if that . He passes me without a second glance.
This is just not how me and ashton work or communicate .We are best friendship crying out loud, or whatever we are due to HIM and HIS actions. I can not forget this now forced awkward exchange between my best friend andU is mostly his doing, no one told him to kiss me last night. Unless....
"No, no. Shit Shit Shit." I mutter to no one but myself as I pace through the house in hopes to find Ash. Maybe this wasn't completely his work , maybe something motivated him to finally do something about us. and I believe this something has to do with a very tall boy who pushed his way into my life for a mere few seconds last night.
No it can't be there is no way he could have seen that encounter . I try to reassure myself in my search , but fail as the memory of the fact that the Irwin's lounge room's door was broken by his brother months ago when he crashed into it full force from a push by his sister. The hinges got all messed up and interfered with the doors ability to open an close properly . the fact that Luke shut the door before throwing himself at me was in vain.
I start to quicken my walk. I need to clear this up with Ashton, even if I don't have a reason to. I mean we are not dating, but as my best friend I owe his as much .
