Overcome

Chapter Seven

We both walked into the house as quietly as possible. I'm hopping that mom doesn't hear us! that would be really embarrassing.

We ever so slowly walked up the stairs, well I hope it was we because then I just look like an idiot trying to go up the stairs in slow motion.

I giggled. I most defiantly do look like a complete idiot!

"Stop laughing!" Justin whispers. "If we get caught your taking the blame!"

"Sorry" I try to hold in another giggle. "can't help it."

"I don't want to know what goes through your mind." He giggled too.

"You can know, it's not bad, just funny."

"Shhhh!"

Once we were at our rooms I wanted to make sure Justin didn't tell anybody. "Justin?"

He turns around. "don't worry." he smiles. "this is our secret."

I smile wondering how the hell he knew what I was going to ask. But more importantly, how am I going to pull off going to the barn? I can't be the girl that says she hates horses and never wants to see one ever again. Then suddenly loves them and never wants to leave there side. I have to figure out something. Justin can't drive me every night . He has work in the morning, he would be way to tired.

Suddenly thinking of being tired, I got really tired! I layed down and slipped into a deep sleep.

And For the first time, I didn't dream of that awful, horrid nightmare.

***********************************

I woke up hearing voices in my doorway. I decided on ease dropping since I don't really feel like waking up.

"How is she always this tired? She never does anything!" It was moms voice.

"I don't know maybe she didn't sleep well?" That was no doubt, Justin's voice.

I heard them walk away so I opened my eyes. I caught glimpse of the clock as I got up. 12:27pm, wow, I did sleep late!

I walked out of the room. Justin stopped me, almost have me a heart attack too.

"Way to ease drop" he smiles.

"Whaaaat?" I say not convincingly.

"Yeah, uh ha, ease dropper." he says without any tone in his voice then laughs.

I guess living with a person for this long, you get to know there actions. Now that I think about it, Justin hasn't been home in 5 months. I wonder if he's ok.

"Hey, thanks for covering for me." I say.

"No problem"

I walk into the kitchen and eat brunch. then realize something. "why aren't you at work?" I ask Justin.

He and mom look at me.

"It's Saturday" he simply says.

Oops, forgot what day it was.... He doesn't work on weekends and Mondays.

"Why? wanna go to the barn? I can still drop you off."

I don't answer for a second wondering why he would ask that. Then I realize that he's acting like its a normal day.

"Yeahhhh, rather not." I mentally slap myself in the face. Why didn't I say that better? I'm such an idiot! That makes me remember about last night and I giggle.

"Are you mad?" he asks jokingly, trying to sound like Ron Weasley from Harry Potter. He knows that's my all time favorite movie and book series.

"I just still can't believe you ask me that question!" I'm full on laughing now.

He starts laughing too. "Your right! Your answers' never going to change!"

Now we're both laughing, I didn't even notice mom was taking a phone call.

"I have to go to an emergency at work." she says a little scared by us. "Are you okay?"

"Yes" Justin and I barely get out.

Mom leaves and we are still laughing histerically.

If only she knew.
