Just a bite

Chapter 14

Long chapter ahead

After hanging up with Craig I roll on my side, I toss and turn, not being able to fall asleep.

I won't be able to fall asleep, my brain won't let me, so I get up, as I quietly walk down the hallway I catch a glimpse of myself, I look disgusting.

I get a towel from downstairs then carefully turn on the shower tap, I get undressed then climb in, the warm water hitting my body.

Twenty minutes past and I get out of the shower, I smell clean.

Rapping the towel around my hips I head back to my room, I just put on a long t-shirt with some underwear, I walk back into the bathroom and start to blow dry my hair, once it's dry I brush it, but of course it's still a mess.

A sigh of defeat leaves my lips.

" whatever". I whisper softly under my breath.

My steps lead me to my bedroom and I can't help but look in my closet for something good to ware, I glance at my window and see snow falling.

Maybe I can wear sweatpants, um no, I look gross in sweatpants, so that's out of the question, yoga pants, no what am I a middle aged mom, I don't really wanna wear jeans, so I guess my final opinion is slacks.

I pull open my dresser, as it opens a soft squeaking sound leaves it, the gears of the dresser are getting old on this, this thing has been through my mom then me so it's old.

I pull out a pair of black slacks for the dresser then put them on, I glance at myself in the mirror, they look nice on me, I dig through my shirts to find something,well searching I find a plane white shirt, it went well with my pants; I spin myself in the mirror, I guess its nice.

For a while I play with my hair but in the end I just stick with my plan mess of hair, next step I put on deodorant and a calm cologne, after I decided that I'm presentable I head down to the kitchen, my mom in her house coat, she looks at me, sipping from my cup of coffee.

" where you going ". She asks in a soft morning voice.

" one of my friends wants me to come to the city with them".

" oh, what time do you think you'll be coming home ". I get a cup of coffee for myself.

"I honestly don't know, I have no idea why they want me to come with them, so I can text you when I know".

A look of concern rush over her but then it fades.

" I guess ". She finally says, she sips from her cup, then swallows it with a hard gulp.

We continue the conversation until after 8:00am.

My phone vibrates on the kitchen table, I pick it up quickly to see who texted me.

Craig: I'm on my way.

Tweek: cool.

I get up, put my cup of coffee in the sink, then quickly run upstairs and grab my wallet, I slip my shoes on and start tightening them, I glance over to the big living room window and see a truck pulling up, that must be him, I open the front door and start walking down the pathway, but then I hear my moms voice call my name.

" tweek". I turn to face her and see that she had her arms out for a hug, I quickly glances at the truck then my mom.

Fine, I'll give her a hug, I walk over to her hugging her tightly, then I let go and run to the truck, now that I'm closer I can see the rust bucket it truly is, the ones nice red paint is chipped and the body of the truck is rusting
