Same characters, same story :) just a different title. 'Midnight pathways' is now titled 'All because of you' :) 

UPDATE: (September 2019) I forgot I titled it that right in the beginning. LOL.

CHAPTER 17

I spent my whole Sunday at my aunt's house...and you know what the weird thing is? I actually enjoyed it. And by enjoyed it, I mean that at no point in the day did I feel the need to run out of that house screaming and swearing like a mad person.

Which is a change from the usual ventures to my 'not-afraid-to-express-her-opinion' aunt's house.

Okay, sure right before lunch she made a comment about how 'big' I was getting...and by big she didn't mean the usual 'you're growing up!' kind of big, she meant it as in 'you're getting fat' kind of big.

Well, taking into consideration the fact that my aunt is a bony, twig-like, bird-resembling scrawny little woman, I tend not to trust her figure-based opinions.

She's obssessed with being skinny, and anything that goes past the border of skin-on-bones is considered as 'fat' to her. What a nut-case.

Other than that though, everything was quite pleasant. I finally had my caring parents back and although it was a huge change, I couldn't be happier about it.

"Are you sure that you'll still be fine for a couple of more days sweetie?" My mom asks me as she hugs me goodbye.

"Yup, I'll be fine. No parties, I promise," I hold my hands up in an I surrender gesture.

My dad laughs and it's so nice to know that I can crack a few jokes aound them again. It's nice not to be kicked out of their attention span by sport and gossip magazines.

"Just as long as you and the house are in one piece when we get back, I don't mind anything," my dad raises an eyebrow at me. "But don't get any ideas."

I pretend to look utterly dissappointed at this and he laughs again as he pulls me into a tight hug. "I love you dad."

"Love you too sweetie-pie."

...

As soon as I get home I collapse onto the floor of my bedroom. Truth be told, I was way too tired to actually get to my bed.

I stretch my legs until I am lying completely flat on the floor and sigh. Even though today wasn't as bad as I though it would be, it feels good to be back here.

Deciding that it probably wouldn't be good for my neck and back, or actually any part of my body, if I just slept here on the floor, I drag myself up and towards the bathroom.

After brushing my teeth, however, a new burst of energy fills me and now I don't feel tired anymore.

It's already nine pm and seeing as it's school tomorrow I should probably get to sleep soon. But I feel so awake right now--I can't possible go to sleep with all of this energy!

I grab my phone and blast my favourite playlist, not really giving a damn if the neighbors would be disturbed.

And they shouldn't be--I mean, this is some good music right here! Oh yea!

I jut my hips and sing along to my favourite lines; actually it's more like yelling.

Cos the players gonna play play play play play

And the haters gonna HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE

Baby I'm just gonna shake shake shake shake shake, shake it off! I shake it off!
