I didn't arrive back to the house until later that night. I bought a bunch of sketch pencils, all with red and blue colored lead because I find they look so much better on my sketches. I got sketch books all for different purposes and a canvas, which I had to tie on top of Victoria's car.

I got even more stuff but that's just too much to name. I've been drawing since I was around 6. Of course my drawing wasn't that good at that age but it got soo much better as I stayed consistent.

Drawing is one thing I can't live without. Besides food. If something bothers me, I draw it. If it intrigues me, I draw it. If I'm sad or scared of something, I draw it. I pretty much draw every fucking thing.

It's and escape goat for me. When I'm angry and I just wanna calm my nerves. Or even when I just need time for myself and keep my distance. Art will always be there to help me.

I walk to the front door and unlock before running back to the car to grab as much as I can. The art supply was having a sale which of course worked in my favor. I had only spent $395 and he gave me $700.

Once everything is put into the house I stop and take a breather. Jeez, that was so much work! After a three minute break, I begin picking up bags and head toward the stairs.

"If I may ask, why are you getting home so late?" I know that accent anywhere. I turn around to face Nicholae and raise the bags in my hand to show him.

"Did a bit of shopping." I respond with a smile.

He walks toward the bags that are placed on the floor and picks them up following behind me. We make it upstairs to my room and place the bags on the floor.

"Thanks, Nicholae" he smiles and starts walking toward the door but I stop him. "Where did everyone go?"

"Remember, they went on the mission. The girls followed them... oh yeah, Dakota went with them." My jaw drops to the floor hearing what Nicholae just said. How could she go? Especially without me! I just pray that she's safe, that they all are.

I stare at the bags on the floor. Do I want to unpack all of these now? No not really. I step over the bags and walked toward the other bags I had earlier from shopping. While at the mall, I found a matching set of shorts and a crop top. But they weren't just any shorts and crop top. They were the same as my fluffy bear jacket!!

I had to buy it. They're so comfortable up against my skin and they keep me warm. The shorts stopped little past mid thigh and the shirt stopped above my belly button. I decided to put the jacket on as well since I didn't wanna show too much skin.

It was fall, my favorite season of them all, and the weather wasn't that bad. The house was a bit chilly but bearable. I'm weird in so many ways. During the winter I would wear shorts and eat ice cream. In the summer I do the same because I don't like to sweat. I basically where shorts sleeve everything all year round.

I head downstairs and go to the living room. I didn't notice before but I do now. They have a Wii U. Finally, Something fun. At least I won't be bored. The best thing about the WiiU is that it has the regular Wii menu, meaning you could play old games from the old Wii console that they don't have for Wii U.

But it gets better. Not only was there a Wii U, they also had a Xbox One and a Playstation 4. Could my life get any better?

I don't even know which one to play first. The PS4 was not an option. I've never touched that thing in my life, I've mainly grew up with an Xbox.

I make up my mind and decide to play Wii sports. Nicholae walks into the kitchen and start preparing dinner. As I play, I sense his presence. I turn around and look at him.
