Day 20.
Sundays. My rest days. The one day everything felt like it made some sort of sense, no school, no work and hopefully, no Azazel too.
Just me and my worries mulling together, lingering over the edge of depression.
I was slumped on the bed, face forward and buried into my mass of soft pillows, inhaling the papaya scent that my hair always seemed to leave everywhere it touched. Molly said it never even left all the scrunchies she had lent me that the scent was kind of like my trademark hair smell.
I was still in my nightdress, currently not bothered about dressing or doing anything. I had been awake since what I guessed was over an hour now and hadn't moved from the position since.
My body was relaxing, currently healing itself of all the stress of the past few days, it needed it badly. After this was all over, I was never going to involve myself in any s
I was over an hour late.The amount of time it had taken for me to decide on an outfit was ridiculous, I kept flicking through piles of clothes before finally deciding on a typical Molly look, denim jumpsuit and sandals. I had let my hair down, carefully brushing it of all tangles and then carefully applied little makeup just as a finishing touch.I looked perfect, until I cycled over a block.Wearing makeup had turned out to be stupid of me since I was going to cycle over a block and when I eventually got off my ancient, blue bicycle, I was matted in sweat. I lifted a hand to my face, feeling the makeup and sweat drip together and pulled out a tissue from my sling bag to wipe the whole thing off. It wasn't like I wasn't naturally pretty anyways. Still out of breath and sweating heavily, I secured my bike at the bike rails and made my way to the entrance of the shop.Sweet Tooth was own
Emergency at work, be back in a few. Don't wait up.Mom.Few as in hours, I knew.I read the small note over and over with a tired sigh as I balled up the paper and tossed it into the trash, where the rest of her notes had gone too. I looked around the kitchen, acutely aware of how silent it was, I was alone again in the house.The fridge hummed on, seeming like the only thing that was breaking the kitchen's silence. I went over to the sink, reaching for a glass cup and filling it up. Well this note just ruined my already sour mood.Why was I in a sour mood?The date (well, sorta date) with Amanda calling him immediately I dropped Blake's call. According to him, Amanda just lost beloved pet poodle and needed him to be with her. Even I knew how much that dog meant to her so I didn't stop or discourage him from leaving. He did buy me a lot of ice-cream and sweets as c

"Hey," we both greeted at the same time, each equally shocked to see the other. I could hear Doris turn from what she was doing her and her aging voice came next."Blake, honey. I've been waiting for you all day, what took you so long?"He shuffled forward, removing the earphones and jamming his hands into his pockets, his eyes were on me all through. The store suddenly felt way too small and I was experiencing strange claustrophobia."I was running errands all day, ma'am," he replied, now taking his eyes off me and directing his gaze to her. He moved closer so he could lean on the counter, close to Doris. "I'm sorry."Doris gave a wave of dismissal of the apology, smiling kindly. "It's fine, dear." She hobbled over to the small refrigerator behind her, opening it and retrieving a small, white paper bag which she walked back to hand over to Blake. "Here you go, make sure to always keep it refrigerated, de
Day 21.I felt sweat, hot and sticky matte to my shirt and let out and yet another groan, switching the heavy tote bag from one hand to the other, not that it eased the pain in my shoulder."Blake, I think I'm about to die." I called out to the curly haired boy that was currently walking next to me, bag causally slung over his shoulder and eyes set ahead in concentration.He looked down, with a small frown before talking. "You're not dying, you've just been walking for about twenty five minutes, weirdo." He scoffed, with an eye roll. "Besides, we're almost there."After school today, Blake had asked me if I wanted to hang out at his place before we headed over to work. I had agreed instantly, I had ten days, just ten fucking days to get this guy. Anything he wanted was cool with me."We all can't rock walking in the hot Texas sun." I was being overly dramatic but truth be told, I was actually very t
I followed Blake Johnson into the the garage to fetch the boxes."So this looks like a normal garage," I commented as he closed the door connecting the house to the dark, cool garage. I squinted slightly due to the low lighting conditions and I felt my irises snap shut immediately he turned on the full lights."Why wouldn't it?" I heard him ask from somewhere in the room, despite the fact that I had on his glasses, my eyes were still affected."I don't know." I shrugged, trying to still bury the memory of what happened between us earlier deep down. Very deep down. "Everything about you is kinda weird so I expected a weird garage too, I guess.""Like you should be the one calling people weird," he taunted and I finally opened my eyes well enough to observe the room. It was normal, like any normal garage you'd see at any home, cluttered with the same assortments of junk that parents seemed to thrive on carrying
Something odd was happening. I sat down by myself at one of the lunch tables my the cheerleader's patio and quietly watched the other members of my squad sit at the long table opposite me, all of them completely ignoring my presence like I didn't exist.Even Molly sat down, pretty and perky as usual in baby pink, directly beside Amanda. She didn't even look at my side once.Then there was Darren, my dream guy, Darren sitting on Amanda's other side, a hand casually tossed over her shoulder and warm, brown eyes on her like she was the only thing that mattered.I wanted to be looked at like that.Correction, I wanted Darren to look at me like that.I looked down at my tray, staring down the meatballs with slight distaste. It was a well known fact that the cafeteria meatballs were horrible, I had no memory of even going to get them. With a small hiss, I tried to get off my seat but coul
