The house is empty and so quiet that I can hear Maddox breathing heavily. Oh shit he has all those bags. I show him to the kitchen and flick on the light. "I know it's nothing fancy or anything, but welcome to my home."
Placing the bags on the dinner table he looks around the room. "Do you live alone?" His eyes scan over the barren walls and I bet he sees the spots where pictures used to hang. Those of my dad and all of us as a family. A real family. "No I don't. My mom and older brother live here too. But they both work strange hours and are gone a lot." Or they're never home.
I can't bring myself to say that though. I don't need him feeling sorry for me. I start putting the food he got me away. As I move around him he doesn't say anything he just helps me. As I'm putting away the milk he sits down at the table.
"Ivy I'm sorry." Turning so I can put the milk away but also look at him I give a questioning look. "I know and I semi-forgave you remember." Accompanying him at the table I sit. The hot wings sit on the table in between us. "No not about that. I'm sorry about when you came to my house. I didn't mean to be so mean and practically shoved you out. I'm sorry." Oh huh.
I get up and get two plates from the cupboard above the sink, then go to fridge and get out some ranch. Placing a plate in front of him and one in front of mine I sit back down and open up the hot wings. "Here we can share. It's the least I can do. Sorry it's not a very good dinner."
Piling the wings on my plate I start to think about when I went to his house. I only wanted to go to get my notebooks but when I left I had three questions. "Can I ask you something?" Maddox stops putting wings on his plate and looks at me. He nods yes.
"Why where you hurt? Or what was with the bruises on you face? Is that why you pushed me out?" The three questions that I had finally have been let free. His face drops I mean he wasn't smiling but he didn't look sad either. He mumbles something and looks away.
"Huh?" I put my hand to my ear to indicate I wasn't able to hear him. "I said curiosity killed the cat." Throwing the napkin that was in his hand on the table Maddox looks away from me.
"Whats that supposed to mean?"
"It means mind your own. Look I think I've over stayed my welcome I'm just gonna go." Nodding my head I'm speechless but I mean what right do I have to know his business? This is the first time we've even had anything close to a decent conversation.
"Yeah I think that's best. Thanks for the groceries I appreciate it." Standing up with him we both make our way to the front door. Holding it open for him he walks on to the porch. "It was my fault you stormed off it's the least i could do. Well I'll see you at school tomorrow. Bye Ivy."
"Bye Maddox." Walking down the sidewalk to his car I close the door. Well there's no reason the wings should go to waste. The wings he had I put on my plate and take it up to my room. I place the plate on top of my book case as grab my laptop from my closet.
I don't make much money but I do have some nice things. Like my laptop is a MacBook the rose gold one, and my phone is an iPhone 7. My clothes mostly consist of the nicest stuff I can find at the thrift stores. I do have some really cute tank tops and long sleeves, but mostly t-shirts.
I don't need fancy clothes to make me feel beautiful. I am who I am and if no one can love me for me, freckles and all then too bad for them. Plus I'm not looking right now I have planned my life out and I don't need distractions.
Setting up movies anywhere on my laptops browser I grab the plate of wings and sit down crisscrossed on my bed. As I scroll down the movies I decide I'll watch Treasure Planet such a good movie, I might have a small crush on Jim/James.
Bad boy with problems, handsome, has a pierced ear. Pfft who wouldn't. Please don't think I'm weird I'm sure you have an animated boyfriend too. Somewhere between watching the movie and eating I had passed out cold, because when I woke up my laptop was dead. The plate of wings was all bones and had fallen upside down off the end of my bed.
My phone goes off but I already know why. It's because I've woken up before my alarm again. Picking up my mess from the night before I put my laptop away and throw the chicken wing bones away. Throwing on a pair of dark blue skinny jeans, and a t-shirt I head down stairs.
I slip on my raggedy all black converse and grab my backpack on my way out the door. Shit my jacket. Placing my backpack on the porch I quickly run back inside and get my jacket. It's a navy blue Hollister zip up my dad got me freshman year.
It's definitely worn out and has a few holes here and there. And from how much I've grown the sleeves no longer cover my arms all the way but that's ok I scrunch it to my elbows anyways. It's a nasty habit.
