Pissing Off The Universe

11-Lazy day

Kyra and Lennox joined us and we moved to the dining table. We finished eating and talked through the night. Hayden is now cleaning the dishes and Lennox has migrated to the sofa and turned on the tv. Kyra and I are cleaning up the table. I sit down at the islands while Ky joins her brother. I really need to test that sofa sometime. But I decide to stick with Hayden because he has been nice company tonight for a change. Even if I'm still probably imagining all of this.

" Ever gonna stop staring at me? " Hayden rises his voice over the sound of running water.

Embarrassed by being caught, again, I twiddle my thumbs in my lap. Why do I keep on doing that? I scold myself. And yet my eyes keep being drawn to him...

" S-sorry. " I shakely respond.

He closes the tap and wipes his hand before turning towards me.

" You should get some rest you've had a long day. Your bed is made and next to it I put a suitcase with all the clothes you got. With all that stuff you bought there must be pj's. " He exaggerates an exasperated sigh before shooing me off.

I go upstairs to Kys' bedroom and remanige through all the clothes we got. Damn there's a lot of stuff. I find a plain gray tee with silk booty shorts. I also take out a tooth brush and hoble to the bathroom to get ready for bed. Once I get out Kyra is in the room in what I presume is her pajamas. Sitting cross legged on her bed tweaking with a rose gold Ipad. Lucky. She notices my presence and puts it down. gesturing me to come sit down next to her.

" Hey girl, how you holding up? " I can hear the sincere concern in her voice.

" As well as anyone would be in my situation. You can't really classify it as normal... " I say burying my head in my hands. " I feel like if I'm going insane. "

" I know and I'm really sorry for the situation we put you in. If ever you feel overwhelmed just tell us. I can try and convince Hayden to bring you back. God knows what goes on in his head. " Kyra gives me an apologetic look and pats my back. " But for right now we should get some sleep. Tomorrow is a new day. "

I slip under the silk sheets of the air mattress, trying to get some shut eye. But my thoughts keep my awake. Could I ever go back? After all I saw and what they put me through I would have thought it would be the easiest decision. But I have never felt more welcomed anywhere. These have been the best living conditions I have had for years. But could I really stay with probably deranged people? Can I move past the fact that they have... abilities? I wish I could talk to you, mom, dad. I know you'd know what to do. Even if I never met you.

*************

I get up to an empty loft. Kyra wasn't in her bed and it is early silent in the living room. I go to the fridge to get some milk and notice a note on the fridge held up by magnets. On it is written:

Left with the twins to run some errands. Don't hold up

〜Hayden

Well that isn't cryptic at all. I dismiss the letter and take the milk out of the fridge. Where are the damn glasses. I open every single cabinet in this ginormous kitchen before I find them. Obviously they are in the last one I check.

I take my glass of milk and sit down on the sofa, that is, might I ad, a thousand times more comfy than it looks. After 10 minutes of stumbling around with the remotes, I finally get it to work and flip through the channels, opting on "Brooklyn 99" I've never seen these episodes before. I mean it is understandable but I thought I watched all the ones that were out. I brush off the feeling taking another sip of my milk. I was thinking about exploring but who am I kidding? I'm too lazy.

After what I could estimate was about one hour, I hear a scratching sound from upstairs. Great. They must have weird celestial animals locked up in here. I decide to lift my lazy ass off the sofa and go explore for the mysterious sound.

If I were a weird animal where would I hide...

I follow the scratching sound as best I can and stop in front of a door where it seems to be emanating from. I open the door just so the furry creature can squeeze through and escape. Oh no you don't. I scramble after it, only to stop dead in my tracks when I realise what kind of animal it is. It's a fox. A damn fox! I swear to god if it's the same one from the parc I'm done.

I regain myself and go down to the first floor to only find the little guy sitting there staring at me. I would never forget those eyes... I go up to him and sit cross legged, staring at him as he does to me.

"So are you following me or something?" I quirk an eyebrow up. "Believe me buddy I can do this all day. If you haven't noticed there's nothing else to do around here." I wait to see if he will make a move to do anything, or even speak. I mean that would be the least freaky thing that has happened. When he makes no move to do anything I sigh and stand up. "I guess you can keep me company. No one else is around. Besides, I think I'm starting to like you."

I head to the kitchen listening to the calls of my stomach. I open the fridge and take out some strawberries to go with the croissants I saw on the counter. I rinse them under cold water and chop their tops off. Taking a croissant I start to eat and peer down at my companion.

"You want some strawberries buddy?" I ask him and he sits down, wagging his tail. I'll take that as a yes. I throw him one and he leaps in the air to catch it. It was so cute I burst out laughing and went down to pet his head.

"Aren't you just the cutest. Maybe I should give you a name. If you intend on staying a while, which I wouldn't completely be against." I ponder on a name but then I thought of the cutest one :

"Scout"

This is more a laid back chapter. Giving a little break of all the action hahaha. Before we jump back in. Hope you licked it!!! I think we'll be updating pretty regularly at each 3 weeks (yes that is not regular but super long, but whatever). I'm so excited for you to see what will happen.
