My alarm clock rang and I woke up, feeling the absence beside me. Guess Hunter had already went to school already. I got up from bed and stretch my arms while yawning. I went to the bathroom and took a quick shower. Afterwards, I decided on wearing a plain white t-shirt with my skinny jeans. I look at my now blonde hair, smiling. I tied it in a braid to keep it need. I wanted my face to be as natural as possible. So, I just wore some concealer, mascara and lip gloss. Once I was done, I grabbed my bag and head downstairs.
I saw my mom downstairs, probably making me coffee and toasted bread with baked beans and scrambled eggs. My face lit up as I saw the delicious food in front of me. I quickly went to the table and sat down, devouring almost all of what's on the plate. I heard my mom chuckled at me and I returned the smile.
"Where's dad?" I asked, noticing that my dad wasn't at the couch.
"He's still at bed, snoring through his sleep," My mom replied, chuckling at her husbands silliness.
I admired how my mom really love my dad and how my dad really love my mom. I wish I could have a husband and loving him with all my heart. Hunter. My conscience said. The thought of him alone made me blush causing my mom to raise an eyebrow.
"Thinking of someone?" My mom said playfully, smiling.
I shook my head, embarrassed at my own mom asking me.
My mom laughed and look at someone behind me.
"Morning honey," My mom greeted.
"Morning," My dad replied, smiling.
My dad kissed the top of my head and went towards my mom kissing my mom on the cheeks. My mom's cheek reddened and now, it's my turn to chuckle.
"So, what's the gossip about? Was it something about my little girl finally liking a guy?" My dad said, wiggling his eyebrows at me.
"I'm not little anymore! Plus, I've dated a guy before," I protested
"Yeah which lasted about two days," My dad mocked, chuckling.
"Not my fault that his breath smelled bad and when I kissed him, he tasted like fish," I stated, gagging as I recalled the memory.
"So who's the lucky guy now?" My dad asked again.
"Probably Hunter," My mom said to my dad, who obviously laughed.
My cheeks were literally on fire. I quickly took a sip on my coffee and head out after saying goodbye to my mom and dad.
I plug both of my ear with my earpiece, whistling the lyrics and sighing. I just wished I had took a driving license so that I could buy a car and ride to school everyday instead of walking. As I trudged my way towards school, I thought of my mom and dad.
Other than Hunter, my parents are the ones thats really important in my life. Without them, I would be very lonely in this world. I still remember when I was 4, my mother was expecting a new baby sister and we were all over the moon when we heard the news especially me. Only to hear that my mom had a miscarriage. We were all devastated, but, we got over it in a year or so. I thought what would it be like to have a sibling. Is it fun? Is it frustrating? I guess I will never know.
Being an only child sucks and sometimes, the most apparent disadvantage of being an only child is the feeling of loneliness. Not having a sibling to play with regularly and I always find the difficulty in making new friends when I was younger until Hunter came around.
When I thought of my parents again, I smiled. Other than being my parents, they are my best friends. Always entertaining me and making jokes here and there. My dad is always giving me advice on how to find the boyfriend of your dream while My mom is always fangirling with me about the hot boys in the magazines. My dad don't mind because he knows he is always in her heart. Which is really adorable.
