I rested my head against his chest, and fell asleep listening to his fast heart.
I I woke up a couple hours later, I heard the front door close, and sat up with a startle. I was trying to figure out how to hide Seth when I realized he wasn't sleeping beside me anymore. And like this morning there was a note like this morning and it read, I'm sorry I didn't get to say goodbye, but you looked so peaceful. I wasn't sure when your mom came home, and I didn't want to get you in trouble. I'll see you tomorrow sometime. Yours, Seth. There was another note sitting beside it, it said on top, Don't read until you go to bed… NO PEAKING! These notes were getting ridiculous. Adorable, but ridiculous. I missed not getting to see him in person. I silently thanks Seth though, for not getting me in trouble, and I walked out into the living room to talk to my mom.
She was still in her police uniform, but she had let her hair brown hair down. She smiled at me, and gave me a big hug.
"How are you?" She asked when she let me go.
"Fine, um, my friend Nessie wants me to come over to her house later." I told her.
"Nessie? That's a different name." She didn't say it like it was absurd, she said it like she couldn't believe she didn't name me that.
"Her name is actually Reneseme." I clarified, I thought Reneseme was such a perfect name for her. I couldn't imagine Nessie having a generic name.
"That's so pretty." My mom loved her and she didn't even know her yet.
"So, Ness is going to come pick me up at around six." I fiddled with the corner of one of the boxes.
"Okay, but I wanted to tell you that I've got a day off this weekend, and I was thinking we should go get you new books for the piano." That sounded great.
"Alrighty." I said, and plopped down on the couch.
"So how's your arm?" She asked, she was now in the kitchen getting something to eat.
"Oh its great. The doctor gave me some antibiotics so it wouldn't get infected." I looked at my bandaged hand and stuck my tongue out at it.
"Cool, did you call your father back, he asked me to remind you to call him." Her voice seemed darker, and she started slamming the doors a little harder than she needed too. I would've laughed had it been on another subject.
"No." Ugh, I had completely forgot I was supposed to call him.
"You better do it. We don't need a phone call from Celeste." She stuck her tongue out at that name, we were so alike.
I decided not to tell her I already got a nice phone call from Celeste and went to get the phone. I dialed my old house number and it rang a few times before someone answered it.
"Hello?" A valley girl sounding voice answered. I tried not to hang up the phone instantly. It was Emily, my step sister.
"Can I talk to my dad?" It came out more as a demand that it was a question.
"Oh it's the pyro. Sure, hold on." I could hear her nasty high heels clacking on the tile floors. "Daddy, its Wren." I heard her say in that sickly sweet tone of voice; just like her mom.
I heard him say something like, "Its about time."
"Wren?" He asked.
"Daddy? Are you serious." I cannot believe she just called him Daddy.
"Yes, so what'd the doctor say?" He wasn't going to put up with me making fun of his perfect little girl.
"He said I'm healing very fast, and that just incase I should take some antibiotics." I told him.
"That's what I would've done. Alright, well thanks for telling me. Love you little bird."
"Love you too." I said, and hung up. As much as I hated what he's done, I loved him anyway. He's my dad. But that daddy thing was going to get on my nerves.
"How'd that go?" Mom asked, she sat down next to me with some chips and a bowl of home made salsa.
"Eh." I shrugged and put that whole "conversation" behind me.
"So do I get to meat this Nessie? Or am I too embarrassing for you?" What a ridiculous question.
"Of course you get to meet Nessie, I'm sure you'll love her." Everyone loves Nessie.
"'Kay. Oh, So I got a movie to watch." She hopped up and ran to her purse, and grabbed a DVD. It was Overboard! which is a classic cheesy movie that my mom and I love.
"Let me go make my over night bag real quick." I grabbed a chip and scooped some salsa in it before going to my room. I took my back pack that I've had since I was in second grade. I put an outfit in for tomorrow, and some pajamas. I ran into my bathroom and got my things I needed for the morning. I stuffed blanket in the bag and set the pillow beside it, I was ready in five minutes.
My mom had the DVD in and when I sat down she pressed play. The movie had finished by the time Nessie pulled up to our house. I opened up the front door, and she gave me a big hug like we didn't just see each other.
"So are you ready for a night of fun?" She was so excited.
"Yes." I jumped up and down with her. Her happiness was infectious, you could pick it up from just being around her. "Come on my mom wants to meet you." I pulled her into the living room.
"Ma, this is Nessie, and Nessie this is Lily my mother." I motioned my hand between the two of them. Nessie and my mom went up to hug each other.
"Nice to meet you Nessie." My mom smiled a big smile.
"You too." Nessie cocked her head to the side. "Is there a time you want her home tomorrow?"
"Whenever works for you. I've got nothing planned."
"Yay. Do you need to get your things?"
"Yes, want to come with me?" I jerked my head to my room.
"And see your room? Of course." We walked into my room, and I grabbed the bag and pillow off the bed.
"Okay ready." I said.
"I like your room." She twirled around to look at it all.
"When I'm unpacked you'll like it more." My old room was amazing. I believe Emily sleeps in there now, I bet it took three coats of pink to paint over the writing on my wall. I laughed quietly to myself.
"Lets go." She said, and we walked to the living room.
"Oh I forgot something!" I said, and ran into my room to get the letter Seth wrote me. I put it in my pocket and saw my mom and Nessie talking. "Sorry I'm back."
"Did you get your phone?" My mom asked.
"Yes mom." I patted the bump in my front pocket.
"Just checking. Have fun girls." My mom came over and hugged me, then hugged Nessie.
"We will" Nessie answered, and we walked out the door to her car.
