Cockroach Chick

Chapter 5: Dady's Girl

Chapter 5

When I had walked into my room it felt as if there was an unsteady presence in it. An odd twisting knot in your gut, the same exact feeling when you could just tell when someone was watching you. Pacing around my room, with my guard up I looking for something or someone. Unnerved, creeping outside I checked the hall. The odd silence still engulfed me and I had one more churn. Feeling as if I were going to be sick I tiptoed to the closet and opened it. It was empty... I stared at it for a few more moments, until I decided there was no one there. Still hostile, I reached over to the close the-

"BOO" My mind went black as my body reacted for me. Falling backwards as I placed a hand over my racing heart, breathing heavily, trying to calm down my blood pressure. I was a tad bit more calmed, but nothing less to pissed as glared at Drue. Yes, of course it was Drue.

"YOU-FUCKING-BITCH-I-HATE-YOU!" I grunted through every punch that flew from my hand and painfully to his direction. "I love you too," he laughed and took me into a hug, his tanned muscles wrapped around me. My cheecks tingled red as we held on and then slowly let go.

"I believe this is yours mam'," he said handing the paper out to me.

"Oh yeah! Go close the door!"

"Okay..." he said nervously. "You know i forgot to bring protection, correct?"

I rolled my eyes and laughed, then patting the bed where I wanted him to sit. " I wanted to show you this paper I found in the guys restroom while I was cleaning."

"M'kay," he replied lazily, but a bit curious and anxious.

I started unfolding the paper when he suddenly grabed my hand and pulled me in for a kiss. I stared in shock for a few seconds until my body decided it was time that I kissed him back, feeling shivers run down my spine and I felt something new take over me. Similar to the expression of just been born again. My first kiss had just happen and it was with this amazing guy. This day couldnt have gotten better!   "Sorry, I just felt the need to do that," he huffed breathlessly parting from me, shadows over his soft grey eyes that showed passion with a drop of nervousness.

"Dont be..." I whispered to him. We both stared into each others eyes for seonds that felt like hours, the feeling of little pricks and numbness in my lips never left. My heart was full of joy and it skipped a few beats here and there. Is this what 'love' is, I thought to myself.

"The paper," I remembered, thinking out loud which broke the awkward silence between us.

"Right."

I finished opening it with numb fingers, my jaw slowly hanging loose from its hinges as I read on;

Dear Reader, (you know who you are,)

Hey im still here! I haven't died and I'll be waiting for you if you ever decide to come. I know you probably don't understand why i left you when I did, but you can come to me now! I understand if you'd rather stay where you are. but please, give me just one chance! From, Minotaur

"Who's that?" Drue asked. " It's... my dad," I explained without taking one eye off the paper, never blinking one lid. " Your dad? Well, why is he 'Minotaur'?" he asked very curiously.

" I gave him that name when I was little, because he'd pick me up and throw me over his back, running around, making bull sounds." I laughed a bit at the memory. "That's before he left, though," I muttered to myself, not expecting him to hear it.

"I'm sorry, Ren." He murmured puting an arm around me.

"Hey it's getting prety late, I think you should go before Mrs.Pufferman walks in on us and has a heart attack," I chuckled humorlessly.

"Yeah, you're right.. well okay, good night!" he said as he left the room. "Good night," I smilled back at him. I watched his retreating back, and he gave me one more encouraging smile as he closed the door lightly. I turned off the lamp on my nightstand and crawled under the sheets of my bed, shuffling uneasily under the uncomfortable sheets.

I closed my eyes thinking....

I may not know where you are, or how you managed to put this in the restroom knowing that I'd be there. But I will escape this hell, and I will find you dad.
