Clay's P.O.V
Turning over in bed, I groan at the thought of seeing Nyla today. It is now Thursday and the
thought of going back to that office churns my stomach. I am not happy with the way I reacted to Nyla in our last session and I am not crazy about facing her again either. How can she say she care when she don't know damn thing about me?
People lie so easily it's sickening.
Pulling the pillow back over my head, someone knock on my bedroom door. The unexpected sound shocks me into alert.
I peer up from under the pillow in time to see the door slowly crack open and Kyle's head poke through.
Propping my self up on my elbows, I smile at him.
"I am going to school now Del." Kyle said while carefully inspecting my bedroom door knob. God only knows what so fascinating about that knob.
Tilting my head down trying to look into his face " Did you eat?"
Looking up at me, Kyle Nods his head while saying with a big smile "I also made your breakfast."
"Tank you ky" Grateful for his wonderful gesture, my smile widens" Now stay outta trouble ok?"
I do not think Kyle have ever said my full name before. He has always called me Del and in turn I call him Ky just to tease back but we both have gotten so use to it that we can hardly tell when we are doing it.
"Yes Del, I will!" Kyle shouts back as he walk away closing the door behind him.
He is such a great kid I thought to myself as a smile tug on my lips again. Okay, let me get up and make sure that he did not leave anything on the stove that can burn the place down.
Wow! I must admit I am very impress with the spread on the island.
Kyle made bacon and eggs with toast and a steaming hot cup of coffee, black just the way I
like it. It all smells amazing. He even clean up after himself.
The pride that swells my chest was quickly replace with sadness when I caught sight of the
neatly folded blue blanket with the white pillow on top resting in the middle of the sofa.
Kyle do not deserve the fucked up life he has been thrown into. He is a great kid with a bright
promising future and I'll be damned if any one try to take that away from him.
The sweet smell of bacon and coffee tease my nostrils, my belly growls as I pull a stool up at the island to enjoy this wonderful meal. I then wash the dishes and put them away.
It's about 7:30 now and yes I was suppose to be getting ready for my session right about now but I really can not face Nyla. Shit, I'll rather serve my time in jail than go back there.
Making my way back to bed, I pull the covers over me wiggling my body into a comfortable spot. It did not take very long before
I drift off to sleep.
The buzzing of my phone wakes me up. I promptly reach for it from my dresser. I can barely
make out what is on the screen before my eyes adjust to the light.

Text ends
Ok, so I have the whole day to myself now
and what will I do with it? Yesss, Sleep some more! Pulling the covers over, I turn back over on my side.
In between sleep and wake, I keep hearing this loud pounding that I try so hard to ignore.
Tossing and turning while holding the pillow over my head. For the life of me it will not stop!
Throwing some mean punches at the air just before violently throwing the covers back, I jerk my self out of bed irritated to the core, cursing under my breath.
I swing the door open with my head hang low not even wanting to look at the rude ass person that had just disturb my rest.
My breathing grew heavy as I clench my jaw tightly trying to not lose it.
"What?!" I growl angrily through grit teeth, still not lifting my head.
A long awkward silence linger in the air before a familiar voice rings through my ears
gripping my heart and force my head up.
WELL, THIS IS UNEXPECTED...
Hmm wonder who can be bold enough to wake her?!? Let's find out shall we? 😎Please vote and comment after each chapter.😘
