Obsession

Chapter 3

I must have been so caught up with homework for the week of Halloween I barely could think straight. I had devoted most of my time to thinking about Stewart and the other half to homework. I didn't even get chance to think about what to wear on stinky Halloween like all the other girls. Also unlike them I didn't get invited to parties .

It happened to be a sad Saturday like every other, I laid on my soft bed attempting to study. The studying wasn't the problem it was just the depth defying silence of my room. I looked  over my algebra and I could  hear myself count in my head. The silence was  good for thinking though, mostly about Stewart and how bright and shiny his eyes were. The one time we met felt like eternity and I promised to never forget it. It had been been 2 dreadful days since I met him and sadly, I haven't heard from him. He couldn't help but cross my mind every short period of time. Only because I loved him. I had to see him. My brain was gonna explode with butterflies if I didn't.

I pushed aside my algebra book and grabbed my phone. I slid down to the T section clicking on Tory's number.

Tory's can I come over I need to study for algebra. -Megan

I slowly cowered over my phone for what felt like hours. Til she replied.

yeah sure just gotta get my brother. - Tory

I couldn't help but smile because this was exactly what I wanted  to happen. I felt guilty but Carlos was my one trip was to get to Stewart. He was the only connection I had to the love of my life. I had a slight feeling me and Carlos would become good friends.

I jumped out of bed with a rush of excitement all over me. I couldn't stand the anticipation I had to see Stewart again. It had been 2 days since I met him. Two long mysterious days.

I honestly couldn't wait to sneak another peak at his dreamy eyes.

Even as I had gone downstairs I couldn't contain my happiness, my smile stretched from ear to ear. I quickly went to the kitchen my favorite place. My family seemed to have opposite feelings than me. They were so gloomy and down. My mom was sadly flipping the pancakes. Slowly flipping each cake upside down. My dad looked sad as he flopped the newspapers. Even my brother sadly turned the television channels. I still wore my cheerful face. I quickly went to my mom. "Mom, can I go to Tory's house?"  I hurriedly asked grabbing her pancakes. She was silent. She had to have heard me, the house was too still. So she must be ignoring me. "NO," I expect my mom to speak but my father's gruesome voice howled through the whole room.

I turned to my father who still flipped threw the pages. "Why not? " I asked. I could feel tears filling my eyes. The sight of Stewart easily faded away. I didn't want to let go. From the other side I heard giggles. My little brother, Matt had switched his attention to me. My father flipped the page again ignoring me.

I was infuriated being ignored boiled my blood. I can't even imagine how my mom felt when I ignored her. I watched  My dad flip another page and it honestly made me so mad, I could kill on sight. I walked toward him again. It reminded me of the feeling I had when I turned on the radio. It was like a rush. I was dying to see Stewart and My dad was in the way. I forcefully grabbed his newspaper throwing it to the ground. I gritted my teeth pushed the table away, making a huge ruckus. Then I turned staring him straight in the eye. "I asked.. why not father. " I whispered repeating myself. standing as he sat staring me in the eye. The room was so tense. And just like that I felt it.. Straight across my face. It was his hand. Straight across my face. It was as if everything in the room stood still and time stopped so I could reflect the moment. The newspapers, the table and his hand on my face everything was so wrong. My dad lowered the hand he used to slap me and pointed to upstairs. "go to your room." He didn't even yell. I turned to look at my mom who had tears rolling down his face. Then to Matt who's grin had suddenly disappeared. I hurried up the stairs leaving my family to pick up the table and newspaper. I couldn't cry though, I just felt anger. I thought about what I did. How I had slapped the newspaper from my dad and his face. I realized it wasn't so angry just stiff. I don't know what came over me. It was like in the car. I couldn't control myself. I didn't want to do that but I did. in the moment I was mad but still that was my dad and I was acting so hostile. I wouldn't forget this day and how I became so enraged.

Even after all that I was still thinking of Stewart. I had to see him or talk to him. I wanted to feel those butterflies that I felt 2 days ago. I closed my door and peered at my phone remembering that I still had plans with Tory. I couldn't stay here and sulk. So I thought quickly and was on my feet within minutes. I threw on my shoes and hovered by my window. I never snuck out before but I really wanted to get away from everything and everyone except for you know, Stewart. I couldn't stand the tension in the house. I creaked open my window looking down at the far away grass. I could see how I would get down but it looked dangerous.

Before I could get half way out I heard the door behind me open. It was like a horror movie. The scary music played as I looked back expecting my death sentence. Then I turned as Matt stood looking at me so confused. "close the door you dumby." I screeched pulling my self back into my room. "what the fuck," he replied. Matt looked horrified by me. He had never seen this side of me. To be honest I never saw this side of me. Matt was in the 8th and we went to different schools but we still heard about each drama at our school. I had never done anything worthy of gossip, so I understood his shocked face. I walked toward Matt putting my hands on his shoulders. He was a little bit smaller then me and had curly hair and hazel eyes unlike me. I looked down into his eyes and pressed down. "look Matt you saw nothing," I began to prep him for my parents. He pushed off of me. "Matt you don't understand how badly I need to leave." as soon as the words left my mouth. I could see Stewart's face in my mind. Matt rolled his eyes and sat on my pink sheeted bed. I knew Matt would cover for me cause many times I had covered for him. But it was normal for  him to be the problem child. I never  yelled at my parents or snuck out of windows. "Matt it's a one time thing I swear. Please just cover for me once." I pleaded to him. He suddenly began to smirk. I liked the smirk but then again it meant he was up to something. " Okay, but you have to tell Carlos about me for real this time. " Matt said rubbing his hands together. I rolled my eyes. Matt had such a weird man crush on Carlos. I don't know why... Carlos was so Carlos. I just agreed. Then I quickly went back towards the window. Before reaching the ground I saw Matt peer out of the window," and a little advice for next time you sneak out. Lock the door dumb ass." He chuckled closing the window of my room.
