(With out the jacket, bracelet and purse)
The next day, it was super early on a Saturday. I was making my way down to Sweetwater River to get my phone, my pony tail swayed back and forth as I walked, I made it to the rock, I slid down the small hill carefully. My blue eyes scanned for the phone with the mint green case.
"Looking for something?" A voice asked. I jumped and turned around seeing the guy, Sweet Pea, standing there, a smug smirk on his face, this time he was by himself.
"I-I was just looking for my phone. I-I-I thought that I had, um, left it here." I stated quietly, my eyes averted from his face to the sleeves of my shirt as I picked at a piece of string that hung from the hem. I could feel his gaze on me.
"Here." I heard him say, I glanced up just in time to see him toss my phone at me, I caught it in my hands without an issue.
"Um, thank you." My eyes finally met his, dark brown pierced my blue. I was quick to look away again. "I-I-I guess I should get going." I add, as I made my way over to the hill, I began to climb up it easier this time around.
"Stay out of the Southside, Little Red. That's your final warning." His voice shot chills up and down my spine, it didn't sound as serious and mean as yesterday, but it still strikes fear into me. I nodded my head, scared to say anything to him. I hurried down the path back to the Northside of the tracks. I opened my phone to see it charged with missed calls and texts from my uncle and Archie. I sighed quietly, all of them where from yesterday thankfully. I decided to stop by Pops for some breakfast.
"Hey, Pops." I say walking in.
"Hey, Roxy. You are up early on a Saturday." He said walking over to me as I sat down.
"Yeah, tends to happen, when you are me." I say chuckling.
"Let me guess, you want a coffee with vanilla creamer, three chocolate and peanut butter pancakes with a side of hash browns and bacon?" He asked, remembering it right off the top of his head.
"Bravo, Pops. You remembered exactly what I wanted." I say with a small chuckle. He nodded his head with a smile and walked away. My fingers drummed against the table as I stared outside, watching cars drive by. My phone started ringing. I looked to see who it was, Archie's name flashed across the screen.
"Archie? Hey, what's up?" I asked.
"Rox, where are you?" Archie's voice sounded with concern.
"I'm at Pop's getting breakfast." I responded.
"Why? Why are you by yourself in the first place?" I sighed, rolling my eyes at Archie.
"I went to grab my phone from my place, because I left it there last night. Uncle Fred knew where I was going and where I went after that. Stop worrying Archie. I am allowed to go out and do my own thing Archie." I explained to him, Pops came over setting my coffee and food on the table, I mouthed a thank you to him. "Look Archie, I get it. I do. I am a grown girl and I can take care of myself."
