Prematurely Adults

Chapter twenty nine

Ryan Kavenaugh

I was bored and so I went for a run in the woods, three more days to go then I will be home free. I ran a solid two hours inhaling the fresh out door smell and clean air. My chest are burning from all the running and my legs are cramping sweat are dripping down my face. I've come to a stop a few feet away from a smaller cabin and it seems as if though someone are peeping through the curtain. I bet my next allowance on the fact, that it is the lunatic bitch watching me through the window. It is just strange if it was, someone, else they would've come out by now and question me of why I am standing here just a few feet away from their cabin or maybe they called the police. I should better get out of here before I'm being escorted into a police car for staring to long at a stranger's cabin in the woods.

I start running back the way I came and I'm sure I hear someone following me. When I look back I don't see anyone but I see leaves rustling and it is not from the light wind that is blowing through the leaves and branches of the trees, someone are hiding behind the bushes. If it is the crazy bitch that are following me than I'm not going to entertain her. She wanted me away from, my girlfriend and she got what she wanted, me all to herself even though it is watching me from a distance. She can stalk and follow me all she wants as long as, she stay away from Stacey. I will kill her if she touches what's mine I don't care if I go to jail for strangling the bitch as long as the world are free from her madness. I can hear the footsteps behind me and a muffled breathing almost as if the person are trying not, to breathe to loudly. How stupid is this bitch I could easily turn around and catch, her maybe tie her to a tree she can serve as a light snack for the wild animals here in the woods if there are any.

I finally make it back to, our cabin and I hear mom and sis arguing in her, room and, dad sitting on the couch reading a book not giving a shit about, the two females going at each other's throat. It sounds like Riley wants to leave and mom wouldn't let her. If she goes than I'm going too, I also had enough of this God forsaken place it feels as though I'm getting smothered and being totally cut off, from the world. "If you leave I will freeze your credit cards young lady! Mum threatens her "You can't do that, you know I don't work yet! Riley cries in anger "Well then you're staying here! Mom says with finality in her voice "Ugh! Riley makes a frustrated sound in her throat and I hear something being thrown against, the door maybe a shoe she can be dramatic sometimes. "All I wanna do is, spend some time with you and your brother, your dad and I hardly see you, we always working" mom says in a gentle voice and I hear nothing more from, my sister.

Dad are staring at me way too long and I don't like it, it feels as though he can see right, through me unlocking all my secrets and private thoughts. Dad closes his book and I just know he is going to bother me now questioning me dad can be very perceptive. He gets up from the couch "Let's go to the kitchen son and go have a cup of coffee" I don't want coffee I want water but dad are going to insist I drink a cup because he is going to make it. I swear to God he throws truth serum in it or pray over it because somehow he always gets part of my secrets out of me.

"Okay dad" in the kitchen dad go straight for the kettle switching it on and placing two cups on the island throwing sugar and coffee in while the water is busy boiling. I watch dad as he cut him a big piece of chocolate cake placing it on a plate. Mom is going to kill him I look at dad with questioning eyes "Just one piece son and when mom comes in the kitchen you tell it's yours" he winks at me grinning "Okay old man, it is your health you messing with" dad snorts "Who do you call old? I can still run for miles without stopping" "Yeah right dad, you can't even master the thread mill" dad laughs while throwing water and milk in our cups, stirring it and passes a cup to me and taking a chair opposite me. "Talk son what's bothering you" he says taking a big bite from his, stolen cake and sipping from his coffee. Damn what do I tell dad or better yet how do I tell him I knocked up a girl, I don't know, where to look cause dad is boring holes in my face with, his scrutinizing eyes. "Uh ... Dad can I tell you after our family camp and I promise I will tell you everything" please say, yes dad, I think in my head and besides I want Stacey next, to me when we going to have the big talk somehow she calms me. After another minute of silence dad finally agrees "Okay son but I want, to know everything" I nod my head frantically I probably look like a loony toon character "And I mean it Ryan you have been way to tense lately and you always moody and sulking in your, room. I don't like seeing my children unhappy I want, to see you happy son. And I'm going to have a talk with your sister later about het attitude as well" damn was I so hot wired that I didn't notice my attitude towards my family? "I'm sorry dad" I apologize immediately dad shake his head "No son, no need to apologize but how about a game of dominoes? You and I against mom and Riley" I nod my head yes but I doubt Riley would want, to play a game of dominoes with, her family she is to pissed at mom.
