Alone

Ch. 15 : I just sat there, with my eyes closed, enjoying an empty house.

When I got home, I was out like a light. I slipped off my dress, changed into some sweats and an old band shirt and fell asleep.

I spent most of the weekend at home. I had gotten my monthly gift on Saturday. I spent most of Saturday lounging on the couch watching Disney movies with Alex. He brought more gummi bears. I love him so much. Why am I thinking these thoughts?! You just started dating yesterday!

Sunday, I didn't feel good so I spent the day in bed, texting Alex all day.

Monday...was dreadful.

Ever had one of those days where nothing went right? Where you felt like fate had made it it's mission for absolutely everything to go wrong?

Yeah, that was today. I got out of bed to my annoying alarm clock. I hopped to the bathroom and took a shower, too bad that when I got out, it was already quarter to eight. I slipped on my Sleeping with Sirens hoodie, and my jeans. (Extremly hard task with a cast on) I grabbed my bag and phone and hopped downstairs. I put my hair up into a very messy bun as I opened the door.

It was pouring down rain and Alex was parked in my driveway waiting for me. I pulled over my hood and ran to the car, immediatly opening and closing the door as I slipped myself into the car.

I was met with a sweet kiss on the lips from Alex. "You look pretty today." He said after kissing me and putting the car into reverse.

"You say that every day." I said, shaking my head.

"And I mean it every day." He said with a smile as we pulled out of my driveway and headed to school.

I sat there in the warm car, looking out the window. The rain had made everything soggy. It was flooding the sides of the streets.

As I was peering out the window I felt Alex grab my hand and intertwine our fingers above the middle console of the front seat. I smiled and kept looking out the window.

He turned on the radio and put in his CD, It was Fashionably Late, by Falling In Reverse.

I smiled at his choice and started to bop my head to the awesome beat.

School was awful. I got an old wheelchair in the morning, with one of those wheels like those deformed shopping buggies at Walmart. You know, the ones where they always wanna swerve off to the side?

Yeah, I got a lot of complaints as I tried to make my way through the hallways, a few "watch where you're going" and "what the fuck"s were thrown my way today when I accidentally ran into a few people's feet.

I mean nothing was going right! When Alex took me home that day, I sat there in my seat and watched the drenched city pass by.

"What's the long face for?" Alex asked me, glancing over at me.

"Just had a bad day." I muttered, not taking my eyes off the window.

He didn't reply. 

When we got to my house, I started to get out of the car, when Alex suddenly pulled me back, kissing me almost violently. We stayed there for at least 5 minutes. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he cupped my cheeks as we kissed. 

I guess this was his way of cheering me up.

It definitely worked though (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

When we let go, a string of saliva connecting us, we chuckled. "Hope that improved your day." He said smiling at me.

"It did." I said returning his smile.

"You wanna hang out today?" He asked me.

I really did, but I had a bucket load of Chemistry homework.

"Sorry, I have a lot of homework." I said pouting to myself.

"Well, maybe tomorrow." He said kissing me on the cheek before I got out of the car. "Text me later." He said as I got out.

I waved as a reply as I ran -more like hopped- up to my front porch and unlocked the door.

I immediatly slipped off my Converse at the door and dropped my bag beside the couch and flopped onto it.

I just sat there, with my eyes closed, enjoying an empty house, my mom must of gone somewhere.

I must of fell asleep, cause when I woke up, I had a blanket draped over me and I smelled food.

I sat up and stretched, sleeping on the couch wasn't the comfiest thing in the world.

I looked over into the kitchen, my mom was actually cooking.

A smile appeared on my face as I got up and walked into the kitchen, smoothing out my bedhead.

"Cooking I see?" I said as my mom turned around.

"You're up! Yeah, I wanted some spaghetti, so I want to the store to get the ingredients and when I got home you were asleep on the couch. I put a blanket over you cause you looked cold."

I smiled and hugged my mom. My mom had been acting like an actual mom the past few days, since my dad got arrested.

"Nova, I have some bad news." She said after I let go and sat down at the small table in the kitchen.

"What?" 

"Next sunday is your father's court trial. You don't have to go if you don't want to."

I looked down at the table in silence. Did I really wanna see my dad? After everything? I mean, I know its only a trial, but I really don't know.

"I don't know." I said getting up and hopping over to the fridge and pulling out a bottle of Coke.

"You don't have to decide now, its still six days away."

I sat down with my glass of Coke and thought it over.

Really sorry about the short chapter today xc. Also sorry I havn't been updating the past couple days. But I don't know what I'm planning for Nova's father's trial. I guess we'll have to find out! lol 

Tomorrow's the last day of my spring break and my family might be going out of town, so I don't know if you should expect an update tomorrow, but probably not.

BTW, to the right ----> is a link to the video Fashinably Late by Falling In Reverse. (I love that song)
