□CHAPTER:08

Lately there are a lot of things that I fail to understand. A lot of things that are happening that I'm not used to. It's crazy how a lot of things can change in a short period of time. It freaks me out how a strict routine can change in just five days.

Before this is basically how my life went.

I get out of bed, I get ready for school and help Kevin too when it's my turn. Then I go downstairs and eat breakfast with my brothers and pary that his satanic majesty doesn't do anything to prevent Kevin and I from going to school. Then I get to school, go to class and mind my own business. During break I sit with Trisha and we talk about whatever but I make sure that we never ever talk about personal things. That only happens twice a month on the days of our choosing. Well my choosing, I just don't like getting personal and she respects that.
Then after school if I need to go to the library I go otherwise I go straight home. When I get home I do my homework, if I feel like it I watch TV or I take a nap. Then I get up prepare supper if it's my turn. After supper, I clean the kitchen and then I go take a shower then I go to bed.

Now, I have to deal with Jace in register. And I have to show him around the school during breaks. He texts me every chance he gets and Lord knows why, I reply to most of those texts. And now here I am sitting in the nurses office watching him sleep.

I layed with him for well over thirty minutes and then, with great difficulty, shrugged out of his hold and resumed my spot in the chair next to the bed. This is creepy but I've been watching him since. Well not really becuase I came back from getting him food a few minutes ago. It's a good thing Angela has a microwave so that I can reheat his pie when he wakes up. I tried but he still looks stressed. Like he is having a nightmare. But he isn't hyperventilating anymore, or sweating so I guess he's fine. My phone buzzes in my pocket and I take it out to see that it's Trisha calling. I answer the phone even though I don't feel like talking to her.

Me: Hey.

Trisha: Hey. Are you still with Jace?

Me: Yup.

Trisha: Oh okay then. I was just calling to say that after school I won't be taking the bus with you.

That's weird.

Me: Why?

These one word answers of mine are irritating her. I can just hear it in her voice.

Trisha: Roger is taking me out.

Me: Okay.

Trisha: What's with the one word answers?

Me: What ever do you mean madam?

Trisha: Exactly what I said.

Me: Whoa no need to be salty.

Trisha: I wanna have a personal conversation with you tomorrow. Is that alright with you?

Me: Nope.

Trisha: Why not?

Me: Just.

Trisha: Well you're just going to be strong becuase it's happening.

Me: You're not my mother!

Trisha: No I'm not. I'm your best friend and quiet frankly I'm hurt that you'd compare me to her because she's horrible.

Me: That's not for you to say. Anyway I gotta go.

Trisha: We're talking!

Me: Nope.

Trisha: We'll see.

With that she hangs up. Darn it! It's happening. I sigh heavily. Too many things are happening at once.
