Hate Me

six - messes

( Dropping little reels of tape to remind me that I'm alone. ) 

H U N T E R

As Justin pulls the car into a driveway and stops I get out quickly. While he is still inside, I think on a phone call I study the house.

The outside of the house is beautiful, it's a two story house and looks large. It's probably seven times bigger then mine. The sidling is a light grey, and the trim is white. The driveway and path up to the door is a dark grey cobblestone and looks good with the house. The garage door is made of a light coloured wood, with two windows at the top. There is a porch that is before the front door, witch is made from the same wood as the garage. The door is painted yellow, so it stands out, but it makes the house look cute and welcoming.

Justin comes up behind me holding his bag along with mine and my board. "Let's go," he says and starts walking to the door. He opens the door with his free hand, for the door is unlocked, and he walks inside. Me following closely behind. 

He stops and removes his shoes, and I do the same as he sets down his and I's things. He takes his sweater off and hangs it on the coat hook and turns to me, offering to hang mine up to. I shake my head no, I will not take it off. He will see the ugly scars on my body, that will change everything.

He starts walking from the boot room and into a hallway, he turns and heads up the cream carpeted stairs grabbing the white railing with his right hand, he starts jogging up the stairs two at a time with me behind him, walking up them slowly. 

"Justin honey, is that you?" I hear a female voice say from the bottom of the stairs. Her voice isn't a high pitched girly one like it might appear to be. But instead is just filled with a burst of happiness and joy, like Justin brought in a million rays of sunshine.

Justin turns and looks at me in the eyes before descending down the stairs back to the bottom. I stay where I am till Justin turns around and waves his hand for me to follow, and again like a lost puppy I do. 

He walks down a second hallway and turns into a open room while I follow. The room is dark hardwood, like the hall and in the corner is a bin with a few rolled up yoga mats. On the walls are pictures, some of them quotes about fighting pain while others are simple pictures of people exercising. On one half of the room there are three flat screen tv's mounted on the wall while in front of each one is a machine. A treadmill, elliptical and bike machine are there. On the other side it's empty other then the yoga mat spread out in the middle of the floor with a lady on it in the downward dog pose. 

"Ah Justin," She stands from her pose and pulls him in a hug. Her red hair, a lighter red then mine is pulled back into a pony tail, a blue headband sitting above her forehead. She isn's wearing any makeup or jewelry besides the small ring on her ring finger. She has on a blue tank-top and black pants that end right under her knee with bight pink running shoes. 

She pulls away from the hug and reaches a hand up ruffling up his hair with a wide smile before she notices me, once again making me feel invisible. 

Her face still shows a smile witch is very welcoming. 

Justin clears his throat, "Hunter this is my step-mom Judith, Judith this is my partner for a project Hunter."

Is it bad that I wanted him to say I was his partner in crime?

"Well it's nice to meet you Hun!" She smiles and gives me a hug, squeezing me tightly. It takes me by shock but I rap my arms around her small body loosely. 

She pulls away from the hug with her hands still on my shoulders and looks at me with a smile. 

I shyly smile back at her before Justin speaks, "Hunter you can go up to my room if you want. I got to talk to Judith for a minute, it's up the stairs take a left into that hallway and the door at the end of the hall. There is a picture of a girl on the front."

I nod my head and turn towards the door heading out into the hallway. Right when I am about to step up on the first stair I hear Judith say, "Is she mute? Justin not again... why would you do this to another girl?"

My mind seems to wonder to what she is talking about while I climb the stairs slowly step by step following Justin's directions. 

When I step inside the room he has instructed me to I am shocked. Every teenage boy's room is suppose to be messy right? Don't get me mistaken, Justin's room is messy, it's like a tornado came through here. This is the messiest I have ever seen a room in my life! And I used to have a 20 year old brother.

Hunter, what are you thinking? You can't bring Ivan up in the middle of a time like this, it will make you cry... again. 

I try and sit down on the end of his bed but it is too messy and I can't help it. With a sigh I stand from my seat and start to make his bed, straitening out the corners and fluffing the pillows placing them in the correct place, I pull the thick navy blanket up and over the mattress, tucking it over the edge before setting the four pillows I found scattered around the room where they belong. 

Well I just might as well clean the whole room now. 

 

A/N: Hello lovely people! Thank you for reading! I know such a short chapter shouldn't have taken me this long to update but Wednesday was my boyfriends birthday and the rest of the week was drama filled. I'm doing a double update today, be proud because I usually don't do this. But I have a special someone reading this tonight ;)
