House Guest

*I don't own Transformers or anything affiliated with Transformers. I only own my original characters and plots. All rights go to Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg.*

It was noon and I've been up since five o'clock this morning. To say I was bored would be understating it only slightly. My dad took off to the base a few hours ago, my mom was at work and Annabelle was at daycare so, I was stuck home alone with basically nothing to do and I really despised it.

I was sitting in bed on my laptop while Pirates of the Caribbean played in the background. Scrolling through Facebook wasn't fun at all, but there was nothing else for me to do. After rolling my eyes at all the ignorant posts from my fellow peers, I stopped scrolling.

A picture of Johnny Depp and my best friend Braelynn caught my eye. Like I told my dad last night, she was in Los Angeles for spring break and I was insanely jealous of her and even more envious as I looked at the picture. Her long black hair cascaded to her waist. She was dressed in a white top, a green cardigan and shorts. Her smile was massive as she stood beside him. I smiled and commented on the picture.

'I AM SO JEALOUS! Next time you have got to take me with you! I love you!' I posted.

I shut my computer and got up to lay it on my desk.

I walked over to my dresser drawers and got out my running clothes. I threw on a pair of spandex, a compression shirt and then went to my closet to grab my running shoes. After I finished getting dressed, I grabbed my iPod, headphones, and my iPod sleeve before heading downstairs.

The house felt so empty with just me inside it. It was so quiet and I hated being here when no one else was which is exactly why I decided to go for a run. I went into the kitchen to grab a chocolate chip granola bar and I quickly scarfed it down and headed out the door.

The air outside was considerably warm, and I absolutely loved it. In a way, I wish I lived near in the west part of Tacoma. If I lived on the coast, I could go to the beach whenever I wanted, but I know that the water is way too cold, even though it's spring time.

I plugged in my headphones and slid my iPod into its sleeve. 'Before It's Too Late' by The Goo Goo Dolls began to play, so I took that as my cue to begin my run. I ran out of my driveway and took off down the street. Cars were moving along down the street and army jets were flying overhead, one of which was oddly flying incredibly too close to the ground, barely twenty feet over my head. I jumped to the side of the road as a blue semi with red flame decals sped by, along with a green and yellow hummer.

What the hell is wrong with people these days? I thought.

I sighed and hopped back onto my path. This was going to be a nice run. . .

My run was substantially long, and not to mention very tiring. I took my regular trail and even ran another six mile trail to pass the time. When I got back into town I ended up buying two water bottles because I was so parched. It didn't take me but seventeen seconds to down one of them.

The slight chaos from the beginning of my run had died down about twenty minutes after I began and I was thankful for it. Even through my music, I could hear the loud sounds of the jets and I hated them. The sound was deafening, and if I would've had to listen to it then I would not be a happy girl.

I practically walked the last half a mile back to my house just so I wouldn't have to be home alone when I got back. As I walked into the driveway, my dad's truck was nowhere to be seen, but my mom's white Chevrolet Tahoe was sitting outside. I took out my headphones and grabbed my iPod. The time on it read two forty six. I had been gone for almost three hours and I really don't understand how.
