mercury-

my shift had just ended and i was heading back to the lockers when my phone rang. i took it out of my belt to see it was my mom calling. i cleared my throat and answered.

"hello" i said as i opened my locker "hey mer, just letting you know that your brother and his friends got here a little earlier than expected so don't be long!" she said and hung up, not even giving me a chance to say anything else.

when i closed my locker and locked it i looked at my phone and groaned. great... they were here which meant i had to socialize with them. just great...

everyone said their goodbyes as we walked to the parking lot where our cars were.

"hey mer! we're gunna go have dinner at ihop. wanna go?" samantha asked me as she walked with me to my car.

"oh i would love to but my stupid brother and his friend got here and my mom wants me home" i said as i looked down. she frowned but said we should eat sometime. i agreed and we went our separate ways.

when i got in my car i contemplated weather i should just run away to like new zealand or go home.

i would always tell myself that i was over it but something like that i could never.

i started up my car and drove like a grandma the whole way there, trying to take as much time as possible. i even stopped at a gas station where i parked my car and took off my makeup and then put it on again, then i got off and decided to get a drink and snack.

as i was eating my chocolate my phone rang. i groaned already knowing who it was "i'll be there soon mom" i dragged out as i got out of the car to throw away my trash.

"hurry up, mercury! dinners ready!" she yelled and hung up. i whined loudly and stomped my foot causing people to look at me. i smiled shyly and walked back to my car quickly.

once i turned into my neighborhood i had the sudden urge to throw up but i managed to keep it down.

i stopped slowly when i noticed a van in the driveway and parked near the sidewalk and got out.

i got my bag and closed the car door before slowly walking to the door. i opened the door slowly, trying not to make any noise and opened the door and closed it slowly.

i heard talking and laughing in the kitchen so i quickly made my way up to my room where i closed my door. i went over to my drawers where i picked out a simple black tank top and some legging and changed into them. i put my dirty clothes in my hamper and sat on my bed.

it wouldn't be long before my mom found out i was home and dragged me down to say hi.

i was in the middle of a makeup tutorial video on youtube when my door slammed open. "why didn't you say you were home?" my mom asked "i was tired and i wanted to change" i sighed. she nodded "well come and say hi, they've been waiting for you" she said.

i'm sure they have.

when i followed my mom downstairs i made sure to take one at a time... slowly. "hurry up!" my mom looked up at me from downstairs.

soon enough i reached her downstairs. she rolled her eyes and i followed her into the kitchen.

as soon as i entered everybody got silent. chris came up to me and engulfed me into one of his famous hugs. i'm not going to lie and say that i didn't miss him. i buried my face into his chest and breathed in his scent that i loved.

"hey mer" he said softly as we pulled away. since i was still hurt the only thing i did was nod. i wasn't going to give in this easily. 

"hey don't you work at ulta?" i looked to see who had said that and sure enough it was the guy from earlier that was buying things for his pissed off girlfriend.
