That evening we went out to grab some dinner and went straight back home. I was tired of my day and so was Dan, so after a long warm shower we both decided to have an early night.
The next day
Wow, I haven't slept so well in ages, that medication Susan gave me really does the trick. It's only 7am... I guess I'll get up anyway, Dan must be awake downstairs.
I got out of bed, slipped some clothes on and grabbed my phone and wallet.
I don't really want to go out today, but I haven't walked around town in a while. That being said, I never used to go out with my mum and I can't really remember anything before that.
After I freshened up in the bathroom, I made my way downstairs to find Dan on the phone in front of a load of papers. He always seems to be on the phone, he looks a bit frustrated.
- I signed these papers when I moved out! How can you lose a truck full of furniture!... I don't care about the money! I want my furniture back!.... Goodbye!
- Is everything alright?
- Fucking retards who don't know what they are doing just lost the truck that had the furniture I had left from my old house!
- But your house burnt.
- Not all of it, some of the furniture was salvaged, that is all I had left... Fuck!
- Sorry.
- Don't be sorry kid, shit happens. I guess we will be going furniture shopping as well this afternoon.
- I think I prefer furniture shopping to clothes so I don't mind.
- When is the last time you went into town?
- I can't remember to be honest, I don't even remember what It looks like.
- It will be good to get some of your memories back.
- I don't want my old ones back, but I guess I will make new ones.
- I have some bread left if you want.
- Yeah, that will do.
We sat down behind the bar in the kitchen and ate our bread, yes, just bread. We talked about what we needed while we were out like a fridge, sofas, tv etc... Dan didn't seem too worried about prices or work so I felt like the day was going to be quite laid back and calm.
Once we had eaten, we made our way to the car with everything that we needed for the day. I was looking forward to having a day out and just relaxing. I couldn't tell, but I must have been on edge since my mum died, I still don't understand why I threatened Sarah but it didn't seem to scare her or anything... I wasn't thinking. I look over to Dan who is driving with a slight smirk, come to think of it, he seemed quite scared when he was pointing his gun at me... I wonder what was going through his mind at the time. Would he have shot me? How would he feel after? Well, I won't know the truthful answers to these questions.
- What is it?
- Nothing I was lost in thought.
- Well you will have the time to think today, but try to relax too. As soon as a new case comes in we will be on it.
- I still can't believe I'm going to be solving cases with a detective, I'm a drug addict and I'm only 16.
- ...were a drug addict, are you disappointed?
- No, actually I am looking forward to my first case.
- Just say you look forward to working with me.
