Thursday
Half the morning trickles past and I still can't shake the adrenaline that's currently coursing through my system. The feeling of freedom still rings red hot from the moment the rock crashed through the glass of his window. After all the pain and despair Johnny put me through, it's nice to break free and put it behind me.
This feeling, though, wow. It's almost like I've been electrocuted by a live wire or a thunderbolt from a lightning storm. Whatever, I'm buzzing and I don't want this feeling to end just yet!
The front door creaks open which makes me jump with surprise. I look around the corner to see Olivia and Theo walking through the front door. Olivia brushes her long red hair over her shoulder as she adjusts her white singlet. Theo pokes her back, which makes her smile.
They walk into the lounge room and walk towards the stairs. She runs up the stairs while Theo watches her. I plonk onto the couch and shiver – so gross. I hear approaching footsteps and then I see his face.
Theo looks over the side of the couch and at me. His black fringe falls away from his face so that I can see his piercing green eyes. His hand comes down and ruffles my hair which makes me pout.
"Can you go?" he asks.
"Ew, you're so gross. Wasn't last night enough?"
"Don't complain then." Theo pokes his tongue out.
Before I have the chance to smack his shoulder, Theo is already walking away from the couch and up the stairs.
"Why did the world give me Theo for a brother?" I grumble. Some days, it feels like we're the opposite. He's from Mars and I'm from Jupiter.
I grab the remote controller and turn the volume of the television up. The last thing I need to hear is them doing it, but at the same time, I don't think I have anything to be worried about.
My television show continues to play and I wait in anticipation. I almost give up waiting and then it happens. I hear the bedroom door swing open and then the heavy footfalls of what appears to be Olivia. She storms down the stairs as she buttons her up pale pink shorts.
"Call me when you want a serious relationship," she shouts.
Theo comes running downstairs with his shirt in hand. Instead of following Olivia out the door, he comes straight to the couch and glares at me. I keep the innocent yet dazed facade to avoid his angry wrath.
"Where did you put them?" he accuses.
I sit up from my relaxed position and shrug my shoulders. My seemingly innocent role appears to soften the anger coursing through Theo. At least I won't have to leave the house now.
