Change (punk h.s.)

Chapter 5

Here I am, sitting in this café that I found after walking around for 20 minutes. It started to rain as soon as I left the apartment and because of that I'm soaking wet. How nice...

There isn't much people in the café. It's so quiet, which I like. I just couldn't bear to be in that apartment hearing the loud music through the thin walls. And now that I'm in this peaceful café I'm happy for now. I hope the party doesn't last all night. But you can never know.

"Here's your hot chocolate and your blueberry muffin, miss", an elderly woman interrupts my thoughts. She's been very nice to me the time I've been here. She even offered me a towel to dry myself and a blanket to keep me warm so I won't catch a cold! That's so sweet, isn't it? I wish all people were like that, sweet.

"Thank you, very much", I thank her and give her a polite smile which she returns.

I take a sip from my hot chocolate and of course I burn my toung. This happens every time! I just can't wait for it to cool down a bit, can I?

Typical...

I take my laptop from my bag to check my emails. I might be the only one who still uses emails but I promised to keep in touch with my mom so I guess I have to. She has already sent me 2 messages even though it's only been about 5 hours since I last saw her. 

Oh, mom.

Basically it says that she hopes I have fun and that i have to remember that I've got to go grocery shopping by myself and she's just worried about me. Oh my... 

As soon as I've finished writing the email I quickly read it before sending it, because I just like to make sure there's no typos. I know it's only my mom and she won't mind if there's a typo but it will bother me for the whole night. 

You're so weird, oh my fucking god.

I take a book called "The Fault In Our Stars" from my back and start reading it. My bestfriend, Miranda told me about it and  I've been actually very excited to read it.

I don't know why I haven't read it yet, the book is all Miranda has been talking about for the past three months. All I know is that the book is about two teenagers; Hazel and Augustus and that Hazel has cancer and Augustus is amputee. And I've been told that the ending is very sad, which is bad for me because I'm very emotional.

So emotional. All you ever do is cry in your room because of a one book...

Can you just keep your mouth shut for a while? You're such a negative person... I push her in the back of my mind and start reading the book.

"Excuse me, miss?", a voice brings me outh of my thoughts. It's the sweet elderly woman.

"Yes?"

"We're closing the café. It's already eleven", she says with a friendly smile.

Eleven?! But it was about five before I left the apartment! 

"Oh I'm so sorry! I got kind of lost in the story", I laugh awkwardly.

"Oh dear, it's fine", she assures - still that friendly smile on her face. Can she even stop smiling? I just nod and thank her before taking my bag and walking back to the apartment. 

The rain has stopped, which is very good but it is very dark outside and I don't like walking outside at this time of the night. You can never know what kind of people are walking around here! Maybe I'm just paranoid.

After the 20 minutes of walking I finally reach my apartment and the good thing is; there isn't music coming from inside. I guess the party's over then. Good.

As I step inside the apartment I yell out a "Hi"  as I hang my bag on the rack and the first thing I see is Harry sweeping the floors.

"Hi", he mumbles back at me. 

"So... The party's over?", I ask as I walk in the kitchen to grab a snack. 

"No, can't you see? Having the wildest party of this century", he says sarcastically. I just roll my eyes at him and grab an apple from the fruit bowl and sit on the counter. "So what stopped the party?", I ask with my mouth full, just trying to form an conversation with my new roommate.

"This old lady from next door died few hours ago and the other neigbours demanded to stop the party for the dead woman's sake", he shrugs. "They threatened to call the police if we didn't obey them", he continues.

"Oh my, God. That's horrible! May she rest in peace", I say quietly as I lift the apple to the air and take a bite of it.

"Nah, she was a annoying old bitch anyway", he says casually. I almost choke on the piece of apple in my mouth and i cough lightly afterwards which made Harry stop the sweeping and turn his head in my direction.

"Harry!", I gasp, still coughing from almost choking. "You can't say that of a dead person!", I scold him.

"Uhm yeah, I can. I just did.", he says back at me. How can he be so rude? Have some respect for the dead people! I just shake my head instead of saying anything to him and walk in my bedroom.

As I open the door to my room I see Niall passed out on my bed. Must've been a rough party for this little kid... But it's not even midnight yet. I can't bring myself to wake him up so I just grab the dirty sheets from the floor and put them in the washing machine. Because my room seems to be occupied I decide to go watch some TV. 

Looks like Harry has finished the sweeping. The floor is so clean I can almost see my own reflection from it! I walk over to the couch and collaps on it. It's so comfy! I don't want to leave this couch. I try to look for the remote but it's on the table next to television and I can't reach it from where I sit. I groan loudly before standing up and walking to to the table and before I can walk back over to the couch someone lies down on it.

"Hey! That was my spot!", I whine. Harry just laughs. "Well I have been living here for longer, I've bought this couch so... I think this is my spot", he grins. I give him the angriest look I can possible give but his grin just grows. "I'm not going to move from here", he says and puts his hands behind his neck. I roll my eyes and walk over to the armchair and sit on it.

"But you stole my spot! Can't you just let me sit on it?", I whine again. That's one of my childish ways, I whine quite a lot. Harry just shakes his head as a 'no' and I groan again. I turn the TV on and start looking for a show to watch. I'm very close to giving up but then...

"Supernatural!", I say excitedly and clap my hands. "I love this show!", I continue, still clapping my hands. I turn my head to Harry's direction and he glances at his phone. "Oh uhm... I'm gonna go", he says and stands up. I quickly jump on the couch and yell mocking "Ha Ha!" but don't get a reply. I shrug to myself and cotinue watching the episode. 

After 30 minutes I can already feel my eyes getting heavy and decide to put the volume down. I try to keep my eyes open but fail and soon I'm asleep in this soft, comfy couch.
