Misunfortunate

12 - A Rude Awakening

Nick's POV

Kevin was peacefully sleeping in his bed as I got up from the mattress on the ground.

I did a background check, making sure I had everything. Phone, got it, wallet, got it, okay, I think that's all.

I'd pretended to go to sleep whilst waiting for Kevin to actually sleep, which took ages by the way. As soon as I heard little snores I started getting ready to leave, it was about 4:25 now and I wanted out of here.

To make sure he was asleep, I flung a hair bobble that I always kept around my wrist for flicking on it so I cut less, it didn't really help though, but it helped when I wanted to in a public place like class and I couldn't.

When I pinged it, (Is that even a word wtf 😂😂)he maintained the position he was sleeping in and didn't even stir, so I took that as my chance.

I made my way to the door, but in stead of hastily exiting, I plummeted to the ground as I tripped over a pillow from his bed. It was still dark okay, and I couldn't exactly turn a light on.

I was sitting on my ass looking directly at Kevin as he was now sitting up looking at me with suspicion.

"Trying to leave are we..at.....half 4! Seriously Nick?"

"I just want to get home" I sighed and rolled my eyes. I mean I didn't really, but I just wanted away from his sight.

"You'll get to, in the morning, I'm not letting you walk home at 4am in the morning when it's still dark outside. I might have given you a lift, but neither of us can drive" he explained and I sighed once more before sitting on the mattress.

"Now sleep"

Waking up was probably the most unpleasant thing, Kevin's curtains where still open and the sun was blaring into my dead eyes.

Kevin wasn't in his bed so I got up and opened the door. I was still in the same clothes as yesterday so I just ran my fingers through my black hair and considered that as 'ready'.

I walked downstairs and saw Kevin watching sponge bob on the TV.

"Ah you're up"

"Can I leave now please."

"Do you not want some breakfast, when was the last time you ate" he spoke, turning to face me. Fuck how am I gonna answer that, 'oh yeah, last week I had an apple and I haven't eaten since.'

"Uhh, I, dinner, last night" I lied.

"And no thank you, I should really get going, I forgot to tell my parents I would be here" I quickly walked out of the door and closed it, feeling the cold air hit my face and blow my hair backwards.

What he didn't know is that I needed to get home and quickly think of an excuse as to why I wasn't in my bed in the morning.

They don't actually care, they just use it as a reason to hurt me.

I walked through the door and tried to make it up the stairs silently and go to my room to make it look like I was there the whole night. But that wasn't the case.

"Well, well, well, you're back late" I heard behind me. I slowly turn around to see Len gearing at me.

"Why are you so late Nick?" He questioned.

"S-sorry, I was eh, I was at a friends house all night and I eh, I-I forgot to text you, I'm s-sorry" I stuttered out. He grabbed my face as he spoke.

"Pathetic"

"I-" I was cut off by a slap.

"Don't. Make. It. Happen. Again" he spoke, spacing out each word to make it clear.
