He didn't question me when I was crying, which I'm grateful for. When I broke down, I couldn't think straight so it wouldn't have been a good time to tel him anyways. But after my mental breakdown he said he had to go home. I'm not sure if it was because he was uncomfortable, it was getting late, or what. I'm not entirely glad he went home though, I honestly feel kind of lonely without him. That sounds dumb and pathetic but I do. It was late though after all so I need to sleep now. Thoughts swirled in my head as I lay in bed about how he was so close to finding out my secrets. The secretas I locked away for years in my brain, the ones I told no one about, the ones that make people stay, or leave.
I close my eyes to sleep but it just doesn't come.
After what feels like an hour, I sit up and look at my phone. I decide to text Noah and just to talk. I quickly type a short message explaining how I just need to talk to someone before sending. In less than a minute, my phone dings, signaling I have a new message and I smile. I look at the message.
What's up? Everything okay? -N
Yeah, just feel kinda down -A
Oh no:( well at least your parents are coming home tomorrow! -N
Yeah and I really should be asleep but I just can't -A
Aw well I hope you can soon -N
Then out of nowhere, I suddenly feel a wave of tiredness wash over me and my eyelids feel like they weigh a ton.
I think I can sleep now so goodnight<3 thanks for letting me talk:) -A
Anytime Aves, let me know if you need anything alright? -N
But I was too tired to respond, falling asleep with the messages open, phone in hand.
~•~
I look to the side of my bed at my bedside table, my eyes still drowsy. I groan as I check the the time on my phone because it was to freaking bright. 7:26 am? Jeez why am I up so early? Well I got about 7ish hours of sleep so that's good enough for me right now. I pretty much forgot about what happened last night, but then it all came back to me all at once.
I groan at my own stupidity and lay back down on my bed. There's no point in getting up until my parents get home and it seems like I have a little more time to get some rest. But of course as soon as I think that I hear the front door open and my mom call, "Avery? Sweetie, we're back!"
At the sound of her voice I jump out of my bed, or caring what I look like, and speed down the hall and down the stairs. I see my dad holding their carry-on and a suitcase while my mom has another suitcase. I smile widely and run towards them. I hug my mom first, then my dad.
"Hey Pumpkin," he chuckles and ruffled my hair. I glare at him playfully and turn to mom.
"I missed you guys," I say with a sigh. It wasn't a sad or annoyed one, but a happy or relieved one. I honestly really did miss them and I'm so glad they're back.
"Once we get unlocked and settled, I was thinking we could go out for lunch!" My mom chips happily.
My mom is the kind of person to find the good in people, and always look on the bright side. She's been like that my whole life and I'm pretty sure she's been like that her whole life in general. That's one of the things I admire about her the most. Even in the worst situation, she'll be positive and still be happy. My moms such a lovable person it doesn't surprise me when everyone is nothing but kind to her. On the rare occasion of someone being a 'hater' as she says, she'll just block them out or ignore them, or fight back but passively. All this said, she's also the queen of being passive aggressive and I admire that too.
My dad is sort of a different story. He's not really as bright but very smart. He doesn't take shit from anyone and will immediately correct them if they're out of place. He's like a leader. Oh who am I kidding, he is a leader. He knows how to make sure everyone is inline and nothing goes wrong. Sure he has his moments when he's just a bossy, control freak, but we all have our moments. Whether it be being a control freak, or being too naïve for your own good.
"Okay, where?" My dad says while setting the bag on the couch and walking upstairs, to their room I assume, with the suitcase. My mom starts to follow with her suitcase and I grab the bag. We follow him up the stairs but more slowly as my dad is very athletic too.
My mom shrugs, "maybe that new café?"
"Sounds good to me," he smiles at me. "Avery?"
"Yep. I'm starving anyway, so I think I'll take anything I can get," I chuckle and my dad laughs, shaking his head.
After they finish unpacking we head to my moms car to drive to the café. The ride was silent for the most part but we talked about how their vacation was. They stayed at a fancy resort on the beach which had an infinity pool, 3 regular pools, many restaurants and shops, and a casino. My mom didn't really go to the casino but my dad did and actually ended up winning a little money.
"It wasn't a lot compared to what people usually get but in my mind $500 is a good amount," he says chuckling, "and for a beginner too!"
I smile at my dorky parents as they begin to tell embarrassing things about the other that happened on the trip. I'm so glad they had fun, they really needed it.
