Pulled Over

Chapter 9

Okay, I have to be at the support group in an hour. I was on my bed staring at my closet... What to wear.. I have a 'date'... What do I wear. I picked out a jewled brown shirt and flat ironed my hair. I did my make up and walked to Adams room.

He looked up from his laptop and sighed, "With all that makeup, you look like a clown" 

"You look like a dork... every day.." I said, even though I didnt have a good comeback.  "Anyways, are you ready to drive me?"

"I dont want to be that guy who drives around with his drunk clown sister, okay" He said, typing something on his laptop.

"Fine, want me to tell dad?" I asked batting my eyelashes. "DA-"

"Fine, Im getting up, where are my keys?" He asked, looking around. 

"Right there, now lets go" rolling my eyes I left Adams room to mine and grabbed my purse. I pulled out my phone and texted Lou. 'hey Lou, I'll c u @ the coffee shop, kk?'  

his reply was almmost instantaneous as if he was waiting by the phone. 

'I am already here, so I beat you, but sure, see you soon' 

I smiled to myself as I read it. he was already there. Sweet. I rushed downstars and put on my brown suade boots then followed Adam to his car. He turned swiftly back into the house, "Bye Mom, I'll be back in 5" 

"Bye Adam, be safe" She yelled, then Adam closed the door but you could hear muffled voices talking about me being a disappointment but they loved me anyways. 

"You know they dont hate you, right" Adam said whilist buckling his seatbelt. 

"Feels like it" I muttered. 

"Amanda Korzach, do you really think they'd hate you, sure you've made more wrong descisions then anybody on this earth but..." He paused looking at the steeringwheel then turning on the ignition. "Okay I see no upside, but trust me they love you, I mean I do at least" 

"I love you too" I smiled, looking at my brother. We drove in silence after Adam gave up trying to find a good radio station. When we pulled up I saw Louis sitting by the window, sipping a coffee- or what looks to be a coffee. 

"Thank you Adam" I smiled, shutting the door rather loudly then hopping off into the coffee shop. 

"Mandy" Lou set his drink down then stood for a quick friendly hug. 

"Hey Lou, how's it been?" I asked. 

"Its fine, I um.. have something for you." He said reaching inside his jacket pocket and pulled out a pair of sunglasses. They wee my mom's glasses she'd let me wear to school when I was younger. Louis had stolen them as a joke and they'd never returned to Mr. Yee's class. Mr. Yee was a hawiian teacher who was hard to understand and it was quite impossible seeing as he was our teacher in every subject at the time. 

"Wha- you still have them?" I asked. 

" 'Course I do, I have everything I have ever taken from you" He said. that was a lot. Lou was a theif in primary school. He took pencil pouches, stuffed animals, bracelets. Anything easy to replace. "If you come every day to the circle, i will give you one item back." 

"Alright, i have to be there by law anyways" I said, "not much of a hassel" 

"Alright then" He said. I sipped his drink as we talked. He often asked me if he could by me one and I always replied, 'Im not even thirsty'. 

"We should get you home I presume" Louis said, standing. He'd already paid the bill and we walked out. I stepped out but lost my footing and tripped, the sunglasses' lense popped out. The light from the sunset hitting the side of my face. 

"Wait" Louis said pulling out his phone then snapping a picture of me wearing, and pouting, with my mother's sunglasses. 

"Now we go" Louis said. Once we got home- We walked- Adam was waiting at the door. 

"Louis?" Adam looked, "Hey, its that Louis!" 

"Hey Adam!" Lou rushed up to Adam, they were friends. All of the little boys looked up to Adam, he was the coolest. Lou was one of the eboys that came over to play with him in our younger years. 

"Well... I guess this isnt goodbye" I said walking in past them as they caught up.
