Don't Go Out in the Woods Tonight...
Whiplash
As soon as I get in to house I know I won't make it up the stairs. Instead I flop on the couch, tossing my bag off to the side. Troy follows Mother into the kitchen.
I drift into sleep.
When I wake up the house is quiet, too quiet. I sit up and walk around. No one in the kitchen, or in the study, and the living room is emtpy too.
I head upstairs, slowly advancing up the stairs. I peek into my parent’s room; empty. I sneak back across the hall. I squeak open the door to the paint studio; also empty.
Naturally this processes has left my room and the guest room the only ones that could have an occupant. I take a deep breath and push open my door. Empty. I turn and look at the guest room. i think my parents left me alone again. no wait. What if they all went out to dinner and forgot me!?
I walk over quietly and open the door.
Troy lay face down on the bed, breathing deep and apparently still sleeping. I am a bit relieved that my parents hadn't replaced me. But I want to get mad at him for even being here. Mayb scream and kick him out, but at the same time... he wasn't all bad.
I sigh, and turn to go.
"Wait."
I spin around fast enough to cause whiplash. Troy hasn't moved, so I figure he's just talking in his sleep. I smile and walkout of the room. I stop in the hall.
I think I am falling for him.
