"You comin in?" Demi asked me, parking the car.

We just came from the mall and on our way home, Demi needed to stop at Walmart for something so that's where we are.

"Nah."

"I wanna come!" Justyce said sitting up.

"Alright come on." She said taking the keys out the ignition. "I'll be back, keep the doors locked."

"Alright but can you like...... leave the keys?"

I didn't want to sound like I was going to take off with the car or anything, but I did want to keep the air and music on.

Y'all rude selves probably saying I can't even listen to music or asking how I listen to music if I'm deaf, but everything hearing people do isn't as different as what we do. All I really need is to feel the vibrations from the music. If I feel the vibrations, whether I feel it from the vibrations on the floor, wall, or door of a car, then I'll be able to find the rhythm and eventually find out the song.

But in this instinct, I have hearing aids.

"Oh shit, my bad."

"Ouuuu mommy you cursed again."

Its still crazy knowing she's still not used to Demi cursing. I've been hearing it basically my whole life.

Oh another thing too, I don't always call Demi by her name it's just when I'm thinking to myself. Other than that I call her ma or mama when I talk to her and other people.

"I know, I'm sorry." She said putting the key back in the ignition.

While they went in the store, I turned the music up, propped my feet up on the dashboard, and locked the doors. I got on my phone and texted Sky and KayKay in the group chat.

Man no I don't chill out on me

Sighing lowly, I put my phone down and reached in the back to get my plate of food I had left over from Canes. I guess I'm gonna be staying inside this weekend.

I opened the box and smiled when I was met with 1 of my chicken strips, a few fries, and a whole bread. I love their bread so much I trade in the coleslaw for an extra bread.

Taking off the top from their sauce container thing, I dipped my chicken strip in it before taking a bite.

Mmm, muy bueno.

As I broke a piece of my bread, my phone started ringing. I picked it up and saw that it was my dad FaceTiming me.

I ate the piece of bread I broke off before licking my fingers and wiping them on my pants since I don't know what I did with the napkins.
