[b] "I won't be here when you wake up tomorrow or Monday, I'll be at the station I'll be pretty late, but I'll try my best ,Bells, to get home early" He finished.
I finally looked up, his face was calm and warm. "That's alright dad I'm used to it." I said putting on a smile. "Oh and since your home tomorrow can you go to the supermarket for me?" He asked. "Yeah, sure dad" I said looking back down. There was no other way I'd like to spend my only day off this week but to run errands for you dad I thought to myself. Ya right.
The rest of the night was spent watching a little t.v. and unpacking my bags. Then I climbed out of bed. The comforter close to me.
I couldn't believe the day had already passed.
Surprisingly I was exhausted. Enough to say it didn't take long for me to fall asleep. Actually I just dozed off.
I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock. I reached over and hit the "snooze" button, flipping the covers off me, I dragged myself toward the shower.
The warm water was relaxing. It didn't last long though. The hot water quickly went cold me not realizing how long I was in there.
I got out putting on a long sleeved shirt and one of my American Eagle pants. I walked downstairs into the kitchen.
On the refrigerator was a note it read:
Good morning Bells! This is what you'll need to pick up:
eggs, bacon, laundry detergent, milk, Windex and steaks. I love you, dad.
I ripped the paper off the fridge, grabbed my car keys and put my coat on, walking outside.
The weather was warmer today, Not higher than sixty something but warmer than yesterday.
I got into my car, backing down the driveway. I'm pretty sure I still had some of that crude in my eyes. I wasn't fully awake yet. Even threw my shower.
I pulled into Wal-Mart, easily finding a parking spot. Grabbed my purse, a buggy and started for the old, brick, building. It was warm inside.
I actually got caught up in shopping I was putting different stuff in even though they weren't on the list. I mean I did all the shopping in Califoria so this was nothing new to me.
Mom made the money, I did the errans.
I needed muffins, so I left my buggy looking down at the list, looked back up to see a boy walking my way. His head was down, wearing a faded grey jacket the hood over his head, and some blue jeans. I didn't get a good look at him because you couldn't see his face, but I smiled. He didn't even look up and bumped into me. "Hey watch it!" I practically yelled.
He didn't look up.
I kind of don't even think that he cared if he just bumped into people. He sure didn't care about bumping into me.
I sure hope these are how the people act out here in cold death land, I said to myself.
