The Stars In His Eyes (BxB) ✔️

Chapter 4

When I woke up, Moody was walked around my legs on my bed, meowing like his life depended on it.

"Moody, are you hungry?" I asked him. Maybe his life did depend on it. You never know when your cat is starving to death.

"Meow," Moody replied. I nodded and got up to fill his cat bowl with food. He purred happily as I stroked his fur and let him eat. Speaking of eating, I was a little hungry myself. I did skip lunch and dinner yesterday. I could hear my dad shuffling around in the kitchen downstairs and decided to buy something at the cafe instead of distracting him. I looked in my bathroom mirror to find out I was still wearing Theo's clothes from yesterday. They were comfy. She loved comfy clothes. I snuggled into the hoodie. It smelt like... sweat. I stopped snuggling into the hoodie.

"Should I take a shower, Moody?"

"Meow!"

"Okay then," I answered, grabbing some clean clothes and slipping off Theo's. I switched the tap to warm water before hopping in. I loved taking showers. It distracted my mind from wandering because it kept me thinking. I wonder what Theo would say about my cat. I should put a beanie on my cat. Beanie cat. Beanie cat. Beanie Moody. I should make a beanie that says Moody on it and put it on Moody! I nodded, as if agreeing with myself.

After I finished my shower, I dried off and changed into my own clothes. I'll return Theo's clothes after I wash and dry them. After patting Moody on the head, I headed downstairs.

"Good morning!" I greeted my dad when he came into view. He looked up and nodded. I slipped my sneakers on and was about to head out the door when my dad called me back.

"I heard that you ran away from Brian."

"What?" I replied, walking back to him. He glared at me.

"Why did you run away from Brian! He won't be coming back now! We need the money!" he shouted, pounding his fist against the counter.

"Sorry! I won't do it again! I'm sorry!" I whimpered. Stop yelling. I hate loud noises. Please...

"Like hell, you won't! I got another deal. $300 per night. You better not fuck it up again. The guys will be here after you're done with school. I want you to come straight home, change into whatever they have for you, and leave with them. Understood?" he ordered. I whimpered and nodded.

"Sorry!" I said again. "I'll listen to them, this time, I promise!"

He gave me a smile and nodded. I smiled back. It's worth it. He never smiles. She loved to smile. I turned and quickly left the house. I decided I would text Scott.

You
Scotty?

I walked as I waited for a response. When I arrived at the coffee shop, my phone dinged, signifying that I had a new text message. I unlocked my phone and read the text. It was from Scott.

Scotty :)
Christian?

You
Can you pick me up at this cafe if you can?

Scotty :)
Yeah, I'm close to there anyways. I'll see you in about 10 min.

You
Thanks Scotty!

I locked my phone and put it in my pocket. Walking up to the cashier, I ordered a french vanilla iced coffee with regular sugar and extra cream. I also ordered a caramel latte and a snickerdoodle cookie. Spotting an empty table, I sat down to wait for my order. I barely got any sleep last night, so I laid my head down in my arms.
