Chapter 17- What about you?
" There's food in the cabinets if you're hungry," I said as I pulled out the bottle of whiskey out of my back pocket and sat down.
As I took the cap off, Ellie sat down on the left of me.
" Yeah want some?" I asked her.
" No thanks."
I drank half of the bottle while we waited for Uncle Joel and Tess to come back.
" Have long have you known those people?" Ellie asked.
" Since I was born. How long have you known the Queen?"
" Three months."
" You guys close?"
" Not really. You?"
" Uncle Joel and Tess have been like parents to me. My real Dad left me to join the Firefly's, so...you get the picture. How old are you anyway?"
" 14."
" 28."
" What about your Mom?" Ellie asked.
" I never met her. You?"
" I never met my Mom either."
We continued to talk until it got late.
" Does that door have a lock on it?" Ellie asked.
" I don't know," I said as I took my hearing aid out of my left ear. " I'll check it before I go to sleep."
" Is it just that ear?"
" Yep. Ever since I was a kid I had to wear one of these things."
" Can you hear with it."
" It helps, but I usually have to count on my other ear. You can sleep on the couch."
I checked the door and of course the lock was broken.
Once we got comfortable in our sleeping positions, Ellie fell asleep as I sat in front of the door, listening to the rain.
