The Moon and The Stars

9:18am

I'm thankful that I remembered to shut the curtains because it's bright as heck outside and I was not gonna be happy to wake up "sunbaked" and blind. It's ice cold when I lift my comforter to get out of bed. I shiver a bit. oh how I love the cold. I begin getting dressed, I rather be clothed than risk getting sick from the cold. Today's another day. Amazing. Can't believe I lived through another day.. without you..

I heard the floor boards creak under wandering feet. It's probably Tino. I quiet down and don't make another move, hoping he goes back to bed.
I hear him come nearer. He freezes in his tracks, hears nothing and waddles away.
I sigh in relief. You remember Tino right?
You have him to me on our third-.. i-i.. nevermind.. he's my little brother and I love him very much but he loves me a little too much. I rather not go out covered in dog slobber. Blehck.

I walk, slowly sneaking out of my room to the kitchen. I grab a snack, slip on my shoes and slip out the back door. I should be happy I'm free for eight hours a day but it's like going from one hell to another. Maybe I should just ditch school I think long and hard and decide to. It's not like anyone will notice I'm gone. I go to school for four hours a day then leave early to work my shift at The Arts store in town. I start off, headed towards the town's center. There's a bunch of family owned shops there, from book stores to coffee shops to hardware and foods n supplies. My favorite is Nan's dinner. She has a little section where you can drink coffee and read books. She always has the best cup of coffee. and those books are amazing. I always get lost in them and lose track of time and gosh her food is to die for. and that's a lot to say coming from someone who doesn't eat at all.

uh..
I turn and look up at the sky taking in a deep breathe hoping to push away all the bad stuff. Shut up in there and let me have at least today
