wrong person // h.s

six

I was sitting on the couch when I heard my brother yell my name. I still live with my parents and my younger brother who's 16, but I'd love to move out of this house and get my own place. My mother wasn't at home much, because she'd often go to Washington for her job. My father was always at home, much to my annoyance. I was never really alone, and sometimes I'd just sneak out and go for a walk to have some time for myself.

"What do you want?!" I yelled back. My brother and I weren't that close and we'd often fight because he is the most annoying person on earth.

"There's a package for you, did you order anything?" I heard him yell back at me. I didn't remember ordering anything, so I ran to the kitchen where my brother Joe was. He was holding a rather big package in his hands and I assumed that was the one he was talking about.

"Thank you very much." I took the package out of his hands and ran upstairs to my bedroom. I closed the door behind me and sat down on my bed.

There was a handwritten note attached to the package. I flipped the piece of paper to see what it said.

Dear Lucy,

I hope you like what I bought you.
Don't eat everything at once or you'll get sick.

All the love,
Harry.

My eyes got wide and a smile appeared on my face. I thought he was just joking when he said he'd buy me candy! I ripped the note of the package and put it on my drawer.

I tried ripping the package open but I definetly needed scissors, so I stood up and got them from my art supplies. I also grabbed my phone so I could text Harry. The package somehow seemed more important so I decided to open it first.

Inside were boxes of chocolate, jars with lollies, packages with wrapped candy and a lot more foods that came straight from heaven. I must admit, Harry knows how to do it.

Speaking of Harry, I immediately grabbed my phone and texted him.

Lucy: you. did. not.

Harry: What is it princess?

Lucy: I THOUGHT YOU WERE JOKING

Harry: I assume you've got the package?

Lucy: why would you spend that much on me? I should give you something back!!

Harry: Don't worry baby, one day you'll give me exactly what I want.
