Chapter 16
It's thanksgiving morning and there's no school. Robin's out in the Hamptons with her family. Chris has a lot of relatives coming, so you know what that means. I'm staying clear of the cheek grabbing aunts at his house. So I guess it's me and my dad this year.
I know I told Jules that I'll stop looking for who killed my mom. But honestly, I can't get what happened last week out of my head. And that kiss, haha I still don't understand what Jules and I are doing.
She looks out for me and I appreciate that. But I can't help but wonder if I'm a burden. I don't know, maybe I'm overreacting. Even though I don't have school, I still have to go to work. Vin asked me to take the morning shift so that, I could still have time with my family. I went downstairs, I was about to leave and saw my dad pass out on the couch. With a bunch of empty beer cans on the floor. "Yeah, some family."
I finally got into work, to see that the cafe was pretty packed. "Morning, Michelle." It was Vin. "Welcome to the morning rush." If this is what happens in the morning, I really feel for the morning workers. I went to go change into my uniform and went straight to work. Surprisingly, people were pretty patience with me. "Michelle, do you mind staying longer." Vin gave me a pleading look.
"Alright, yeah no problem."
The customer flow was slowing down a bit, thankfully. It was time for my lunch break. I decided to just grab a muffin and a sandwich and eat in the staff lounge. I haven't talked to Robin since she left yesterday. So I texted her.
Me: 4:10pm
Hey, Happy Thanksgiving. How's everything so far?
Robin: 4:14pm
Hey, thx you too. Well, I'm with my relentless family members. That only talk about how much money their making and where their kids are going to college.
Me: 4:16pm
Haha, that doesn't sound fun at all.
Robin: 4:19pm
Ughh, I wish I was there with you, haha. But, what can you do about family.
Me: 4:25pm
Yeah, I know right.
Robin: 4:27pm
What about you? How's your day so far?
Me: 4:31pm
I took the morning shift, and I'm still here. But, better than being home I guess.
Robin: 4:33pm
Aw, I'm srry. :( Is everything okay? How come you don't wanna be home?
I never told Robin what happened last week. Plus she has no idea that my father has been acting irrationally lately. I can't worry her more than she already is, especially since the Halloween incident.
Me: 4:39pm
Oh nothing, :) Listen I'll call you when I get home, right now I should get back to work.
