    I vaguely remember getting into my mom's house and into my room. I guess all the events of last night really did take a toll, and probably that I didn't go to sleep till after Kenny woke up.  The blanket is over my head hiding me from the world. I'm so satisfied with this, hiding from the world. I don't want to have to deal with the fact that Kenny almost died because of his own stupidity and that I'm the one who saved him. And I definitely don't know how or want to deal with the fact that Grant and I got pretty damn steamy. Yes, I've wanted to test those waters from some time now and I'm not afraid of him. But what are my parents suppose to think of that? Do I tell them? Grant is supposed to be their friend even though they know that we are pretty close they've never really liked it. But as long as he didn't cross any lines in their eyes they didn't see a problem with him.

I hope up out of bed because of the sudden urgency to go pee. But before I run to the bathroom I grab my phone that my mother had left on my bedside table while I was sleeping, because it had dinged notifying me that I had a message. I dash to the bathroom.

Shithead:
Hey, are you home? I think we need to talk. 

Great just what I didn't want to do. My mind starts racing of all the possible outcomes of this conversation, none of them good. I'm scared to answer. 
* buzz buzz* my phone vibrates on the counter as I decide that I'm going to take a shower now to wash off my, well everything. But before I hop in I look at shitheads text. 


Shithead:

??? Nina, please ... I need to explain. It's just gonna be better if we talk in person. After a long sigh, I text him back. 
Me:I'm hoping in the shower now, but you can come over, I'm home alone mom and dad decided to stay the rest of the trip. But I'm kinda partied out already.

Shithead:
Okay, be there in like 10. 

And with that, I hop in the shower not caring that he said he'd be here in 10 minutes. I need the shower to burn the thoughts away. I get all the basics done, shampoo, conditioning and of course shaving because it's the summer season. Just as I finish and I hear a knock at the door. 
* knock knock*  two more come through the door. I switch the Facet over to the bath mode. And lay down in the tub.  

"It's open and you know it is," I say slightly annoyed. 

" A gentleman always checks I don't know what little miss Nina does while she's in the shower." He says walking through the door and taking a seat next to the tub with his back to the tub to give me some privacy. My parents definitely don't know about this but Grants been coming and chilling while I take baths for a couple of years now. Nothing dirty or anything we just talk and smoke. And well I get to relax or try to. It seems to be much harder now. 

"Please tell me you rolled a couple this time," I say pulling the curtain open just enough to reach my arm through.   

"Duh, I actually rolled a couple I thought we might be talking awhile." He says with a smile and then pulls out threes joints. 

"Good, I really need some of that right now. Light one please." I say politely and reach for the nob to turn off the water. If it goes any more Grants gonna be taking a bath too. 

"So..." he says as he lights the joint. " about last night." He stops to take a drag. 

"Which part?" I pop in. Knowing exactly what he's talking about but I wanna beat around the bush.
