CHAPTER SEVEN- VISITING DAY

--Em’s POV—

“Sweetie, wake up, It’s Saturday” My dad screamed from the bottom of the stairs. Ugh. Why does the best part of sleep come when you’re awaken? I groggily get up from bed and abandon my sweet, sweet mattress. Saturday is usually an important day for me, since today I’d get to visit my mom, a few towns away from here. I asked May if she could come, but last night she drank so much you’d be surprised if she waked up this early. She got drunk, complained why no one likes her, and was driven home, courtesy of Monique and I. After successfully aiming myself to the bathroom, I take my phone and play some songs and covers of Megan Nicole and strip down and take a shower. My voice is only beautiful in the bathroom, so I spend my time singing there and whatnot whenever I feel like sitting on a toilet or making a pretend music video.

“Never have I ever, stayed out singing purple rain,” I bellow and screech washing myself and scrubbing over and over. I don’t stop singing until the end and a new song comes on. It’s Classic by MKTO. It reminds me of Allie. Hmm, wonder what happened to her, since she got drunk earlier than May and got carried away so quickly. I start to worry. Is she okay? What if she got hurt?

No, that can’t be. Allie’s a strong girl. She can even punch someone so easily you’d think she was just killing ants.

You’re over my head

I’m out of my mind

Thinking I was born, in the wrong time

One of a kind, living in the world gone plastic

Baby you’re so classic

By the time the chorus swings, I’m wrapped up in my towel and dancing like a maniac to the song until another annoying cellphone ring is heard. A text I think, but from whom?  I don’t usually get text messages from someone, not even thinking, I grab my phone and see an unknown number flashed on it

Good Morning my sweet sweet champion;) It said and I rolled my eyes. I shall play dumb now, then

Excuse me, who is this? I replied and I proceeded to change my clothes as the time read 9:10 AM. Shoot. I still have to problem about who to bring with mom… Monique’s busy.. Allie and May are hungover.

Oh please, cupcake. You’d never forget a guy like me ;) was the next message received. Scoffing I replied

No, really. I’m sorry who is this J

Mio replied almost as soon as I sent the message

You’ve got to be kidding me, cupcake he replies and I chuckle, enjoying his annoyingness and heading down to the stairs. My dad is sitting down on the couch, nose in front of a newspaper while a hand takes hold of a coffee cup

“Morning dad” I smile and return my phone to my pocket, forgetting to reply to Mio and take a seat next to him “What’s for breakfast?” I ask looking into the newspaper, business section.

Hmm.. Wonder why dad would look at the business section?

“Silly girl,” Dad kisses the top of my head and takes another sip of coffee “You’ll be having breakfast at your mother’s. Don’t make me get uncomfortable by trying to cook for you again. I’m a failure. I burn everything” I laugh at him and poke him teasingly “Yeah,” I agree “But its so funny seeing you dial Chinese Diner with a burnt apron” I laugh hard and feel a buzz from my phone
