Wednesday~

I wake up to my alarm beeping, I take a moment to get up and just stare at the wall

My dad knocks on the door

"Good morning", he walks in

I smile, "Hey"

"I'll be dropping you off at school today so get dressed", he says, "We're going to have a talk"

He closes the door, what does he mean by have a talk? Am I in trouble?

I get out of bed and walk to my bathroom, this time I wash my face with a cleanser and brush teeth.

The alarm on my nightstand goes off again, I forgot that I put it on snooze, I turn it off and make my bed

I make my way down the stairs and see my parents already eating breakfast, I sit down beside Brandon and my mom serves me my plate

"Honey", my dad looks at me

"Your mom and I have important business work to do that includes being out of town for a week"

"What about it?", I ask

"We won't be home for a week, and we need someone to take care of the house", they look at me

I furrow my brows

"Will you be willing to take care of the house while we're out?", my mom asks

"I-"

They both seem serious about it, I mean I don't mind except I don't want to be alone

They wait for an answer

"Fine", I answer

My mom smiles

"Thank you sweetie", she says

I smile, "Will Brandon have to stay home too?"

"Yes, except he will be staying with your aunt", my dad answers

I nod

"That's fine with me", I say

"We talked about it with him before you came downstairs", my mom says

"When will you guys be gone?", I ask

"Next week", my dad answers

The bell rings and I pack up my stuff, I leave class and walk to the football field to chill

Some guys are throwing the football back and fourth, I notice Joey hanging with the boys

He notices that I'm watching and runs up to me

"Hey", he smiles

I smile

"What are you doing next week?, I ask

"Well, I mean we have a whole week off next week", he sits down next to me,"I will just be at home chilling"

"That's it?", I ask
