Everything, Joey

1

My life is completely different to everyone else.
Not many people in this world live like I do.
Every day it feels like everything repeats over and over, same food , same book , same everything. It sucks I know.
My mom is over protective with every thing I do, of course she would be , I am sick.
My favourite place is my creative room. It's built to feel like I'm outside. I spend my life there dreaming about what it would be like to see the ocean, it's where I've always wanted to go.
My other favourite spot is the window in my room, I read my books by there often.. in fact that's what I'm doing right now.
My thoughts pause while I hear a truck pull up at my neighbours house.
I take a look outside to see a cute guy standing at the back of the truck taking out boxes along with two girls and a woman.
He catches me looking at him and smiles doing a small wave, I smile back and turn away.
He didn't just look at me... did he ?
I smile at myself and head over to my bed laying myself down unpausing my thoughts.
Life might not be so bad after all.
Oh yeah it's my birthday today I forgot to mention... it doesn't matter though it's just like every other day.
My mom walks in with all these medical daily stuff I need to take.
'Why aren't you at work?' I ask looking at her.
'I took the day off, I always do that for your birthday ' she says smiling at me.
I slightly smile looking back at the window to see if he was still there.
' So what do you want to do for your birthday ?' She asks looking at me.
' what we do every year' I smile getting up. We play a board game and watch a movie.
I love my mom, a lot. Only three people know I'm alive, My mom , my nurse Kate, and Maria the nurses daughter.
While me and my mom were watching the movie, there was a knock at the door.
' I'll get it ' I say joking around.
My mom laughs and gets up to answer the door.
I walk over to the screen which shows the camera who's at the door and it was the boy and I'm guessing his younger sister?
I smile as they introduce themselves.
' Hi I'm Joey and this is my little sister Sophia, we just moved in today' he says smiling at my mom.
' we would like to give you some cake from my mom ' Sophia says handing my mom the cake.
' what for?' My mom asks folding her arms. ' it's a thing my mom makes us do every time we move somewhere and also to apologise for moving in next door' Joey says laughing a little.
I laugh along too, he's so cute but funny at the same time.
' thank you but we can't take the cake ' my mom says folding her arms. I frown at her because they were so sweet, my mom is just too overprotective.
' oh why not?' Sophia says frowning.
' many reasons, anyways nice meeting you ' my mom replies pressing the button to close over the door.
I watch as joey and Sophia burst out laughing walking away.
I run upstairs to my bedroom to watch them go back inside, no I'm not a stalker what?
The plate drops and smashes to pieces as their father walks out and hits Joey across the head.
' Watch yourself boy' he says angrily and gets into the car driving away.
This doesn't look to good. I sit back in my window space and read my book when I hear a rock thrown at my window.
I look out frowning and see Joey across from my window smiling at me.
I smile back and he motions me to go outside.
I shake my head sadly and look back at my book.
A few minutes later another rock is thrown at my window. What does this boy want? I laugh looking up from my book and he has his phone number written on the window of his bedroom. I shake my head laughing and type it into my contacts, then I immediately text him.

Joey= woah , but I wanna see you in person

I look up at him and laugh getting down from the window still and getting into bed.
I like Joseph. I like him a lot.
