Life On Death

Clean Up Crew

Sebastian-

I was laying in my bed when I heard the doorbell, who would want to see me anyway, nobody cares about me. I didn't want to answer it but I still forced myself to get up and walk to the door, I had never had a visitor here before, I didn't care though, it was probably some advertising slob of a human, like me but not as bad.

I walked over to the door and slowly opened it, there stood some people from my school, Angela, Leah, and Vanessa. Vanessa! Vanessa? I was both wondering why she was here and was also excited to see her. We talked a little bit and her friends left. I then invited her inside. We sat at my table and she started to yell at me.

"Ok, I just can't right now, I-I-I just can't! You have got to shave! Right here, right now. I-I-I can't even look at you! Gosh, you look like a hairy man-child. Now where is the bathroom, I have to find you a razor!" She finished. I told her where the bathroom was and she got me some shaving supplies. She then left and promised to return with her friends to get me cleaned up.

Angela, Leah, and Vanessa got back with a lot of supplies fifteen minutes later, they had brought their cars with them too. First, Leah and Vanessa got to work on my house. Then, Angela started with cutting my overly long hair, she next styled it until it was only an inch long. Then, she shaved my mustache and my stubble of a beard. Next, she gave me some expensive moisturizer and told me to put this on my skin every day. Along with that she gave me some chapstick and then told me to go change out of my sweatpants and tee-shirt.

When I got back from my bedroom I saw the cleaning effects starting to shine everywhere. Now, all three girls were working on the house. I noticed almost nothing was covered in a thick grey layer of dust anymore.

While Angela was working on my appearance Vanessa drove home to get her sewing machine and then drove to the fabric store to get some fabric. She was sewing new covers for my couch cushions and for my pillows, she was also going to work on a new blanket for my bed for me.

Leah had gone to a department store near my house to get some paint and paintbrushes for my walls. She was also starting to work on painting my wooden chairs and table to match the rest of the house.

Angela was now working on dusting the parts of the house that they had missed and then later was cleaning until you could see your reflection everywhere you looked. She cleaned everything, she even cleaned the walls before they were painted.

We cleaned all of that day and didn't get too far, the house was dusted, I was cleaned up, and the walls were half painted, along with that one wall was half painted, it was eight at night when they finally left and decided to come and clean some more tomorrow.

As expected they all came the next day too to clean, we didn't get too far that day either. So, we also cleaned on Monday after their school day. It was a slow business we had. Some of the time Angela and Vanessa came, sometimes Leah and Vanessa, Sometimes it was just Vanessa.

Things were getting better for me now that I had some friends around, days were getting better and I was actually looking forward to life. I especially loved the days that I could be with just Vanessa, those were my favorite.

It was about two months later when we finished cleaning and redoing the house. But even after that, Vanessa and I still hug out. Having a great time every time she came.

I wonder how she felt about me, did she think of me as more than a friend? I wasn't sure but I really hoped. I knew I had been having some feelings for her, I felt that we had had a great relationship. I didn't know how to ask her, I just didn't know, but then an idea stuck, I knew just the right way, the way that she could never say no to.
