Last kid raised by Benjamin Hayes Grier

Chapter 7

~~~Friday~~~

I wake up to my mom shaking me. "Come on Bentley, you need to get ready for your orthodontist appointment." She said softly.

I opened my eyes and stretch my arms and legs, then I rolled over onto my back and sat up. "We leave in 20 minutes." She said then got up and walked out of my room.

I had a weird dream last night...I kinda liked the dream, but it's not a kind of dream that you can share with anyone...

I got up out of bed and picked up a shirt from the floor and sniffed it. "Nope too stinky." I dropped it then picked up another one and did the same thing. "Eh good enough."

I put it on then grabbed clean boxers and basketball shorts and put them on. I dropped my dirty boxers on the floor then walked into the bathroom and did what I needed to do, to finish getting ready.

I looked at my hair in the mirror. It's time for a hair cut, maybe something other than Bieber hair for once.

I finished getting ready in the bathroom, then turned off the light and made my way downstairs and waited in the living room for my mom.

I was about to sit on the couch when I noticed someone laying on it already hidden under a blanket.

I didn't want to both them, so I just sat on the living room chair. 

~~~~~~~~

We just got back in the car and I can't stop staring at my teeth in the mirror. It looks so weird! "What do you want to do now?" Mom asked with a laugh as she pulled out of the parking spot.

"Can I get my hair cut?" I asked hopeful that she would say yes. "Of course." I turned on the radio and we just sat in silence listening to the music.

Soon enough we arrived at the place and walked inside. Luckily almost no one was here, so I got in right away.

I told the girl how I wanted my hair, then sat back and let her do her thing. She washed my hair then started cutting and shaving it.

I always hated the part when they washed your hair, it's so uncomfortable, especially when you are a little kid and have to sit on one of those cushions.

I kinda just got lost in my thoughts. All I could think about was Alex and how he is stuck in school, while I get to be out of school and do whatever I want.

"And....Done." The girl said and turned me around in my hair so that I could see myself in the mirror. It looked really good. I like it.

I thanked her, then got up and walked back over to my mom. "It looks good, sweetie." She paid for my haircut, then we left.

I was tempted to take a selfie and send it to Alex, but I ended up on deciding to just surprise him, when I see him next.

I did take a selfie tho, I'll post it on Instagram after I show Alex. Before we went home, mom and I stopped at Wing stop for lunch.

We got home and the person was still on the couch. "Mom, who's that?" I asked quietly since they were sleeping. "A friend of mine's son...He showed up drunk last night saying he had nowhere else to go, so we let him sleep on the couch."

I just nodded then went upstairs and took a nap cause why not? I stayed up way too late last night, then had to wake up earlier than I wanted this morning.

I changed out of my clothes and put on some sweatpants, then laid down and fell asleep.

"Hey Bentley!" I turned to see a faint Jacob waving at me. I slowly walk over to him, but every time I get closer, he gets even more faint. By the time I get to him, he's gone...
