Chapter Seven

I was beginning to think I was honestly screwed when it came to catching up with my work in school. It seemed like no matter how hard I tried, or how much of a dent I made in everything, there was another pile of papers waiting for me just around the corner. I had been working on all my homework since Nathan left and after three hours my eyes felt heavy and I could feel a headache starting to form. Still, I had so much left I wanted to accomplice before I went to bed.

I reach over and grab my phone off the nightstand. 9:03. Ugh, still so much to do. Coffee was needed. I swing my feet over the side of my bed and start to head toward the kitchen. As I do my phone goes off in my hand. Eric, Yikes. I had kind of been avoiding his texts and calls since I had thrown him out of the room on accident earlier today. And by on accident, I mean, you know, on purpose.

I wasn’t trying to ignore his text message’s, I just had no idea what to say to him. I didn’t want to lie to him, but on the other hand I knew exactly what his reaction would be if I told him the truth, if I told him the guy I was having over after school was Nathan. I wasn’t even supposed to be thinking about Nathan, let alone having him over for social hour without any type of supervision. If only there was a way I could address the situation without having to tell him the exact whole truth.

I’m trying to think of how I can do this when I round the corner toward the kitchen and practically collide with my aunt. She jumps back at the last minute saving the cup of coffee and piece of apple pie in her hand from colliding all over the front of my shirt.

“Whoa.” She tightens the grab on her mug and a smile immediately creeps over her face. “It was so quite in your room, I figured you had fell asleep.”

I grown and make my away around her perfectly shaped body toward the island in the center of the kitchen. “No, that’s just the sound of intense concentration.” I grab a clean mug and drain the rest of the coffee that’s left in the still hot coffee pot. “Trying to catch up on all my back work might be the death of me.”

My Aunt Jenna sets her pie and coffee down gently on the table before pulling out a chair and sitting down. “Going slow, huh?”

I dump about eight spoonfuls too much of sugar into my coffee and take a long swig out of the steaming liquid. “Slow is an understatement.”

My aunt nods and cuts a tiny piece of her pie off, popping it into her mouth. “I know the feeling, so many meetings today, and I have to be up at 430 to start it all over again.
