I woke up the next morning flipping on my stomach and ripping open one eye to check on the time, 9:38 I yawned and decided to pull myself from the warm soft covers with a sigh.
It was cold in the tiny apartment like usual with tiny streams of light coming in through the window, I sighted at the sight of the ugly grayish building across the street. Little flecks of light were bouncing off the hardwood and reflecting into anything shiny, which in turn blinded me.
I floated across the wood, my slippers scuttling across the cold floor, I walked to the fridge and pulled out the milk jug looking side to side to see if anyone was watching, even though my apartment was empty. I guess it was just a reflex. I drank some milk, some of it trickling down my chin and leaking on to my pajama top. I rolled my eyes and put the jug back in the fridge. The phone rand quietly, I almost never heard it, it made me jump and I ran over to the side table crashing into the couch and grabbed the phone with a grunt.
"Hello" I said I sounded like a crusty old man whom someone just woke from his afternoon nap.
"Hey" it was Alyssa's soft voice on the other end. She never phoned this early…
"Hey is something up?" I asked quietly into the phone as if someone was listening from the other room.
"kind of, would you care if I came moved in for a bit.." she trailed off then continued again
"I mean I could pay half the rent and put some money into new furniture, if you don't want me to-" she said but I interrupted before she could finish.
"Yes defiantly, I can help you move" I said smiling into the phone, I was glad she was getting away from that snot head. Then a thought popped into my head I was probably over reacted though, so I just let it slip out of mind.
"Alright, uh is today alright?" she asked sounding hopeful.
'o yeah, I can be over when ever" I said waiting for a response, I didn't have to wait long.
"Alright, half my stuff is ready, come over…whenever?" she said sounding unsure about whenever. I wondered why she was in such a rush but knowing Alyssa she hasn't told Tristan yet…
"I can be over, in 10 minutes" I said she sighed a sigh of…relief?
"Alright see you then" I said and hung up grabbing my coat off of the hook. Leaving the door unlocked and walked quickly out of the building to my little car, I turned the key quickly and my car fired into a quick puttering that quickly turned every head walking to class that morning, I smiled patted the dash board and quickly pulled out shooting up gravel. It was a ten minute drive to Alyssa's since her and Tristan lived off campus, saying it was cheaper to live there and stuff, but I was pretty sure Tristan just didn't want me over nearly as much.
I made it to Alyssa's she was sitting on the stood with four bags packed I assumed they were clothes and other useless items. I pulled my self from my car and walked to the stood where she was perched. I grabbed two bags and walked back to the car without a word and Alyssa flowed.
"Are you bringing anything else?" I asked she looked up thinking.
"Sure uhh if you don't mind" she said I waved my hand and smiled.
She cut in front of me and went to her room I flowed quickly accidentally kicking up some of the carpet, I never really liked where she lived, really suburban with no backyard and screaming children.
She came dragging out a huge black teddy bear holding a heart, and then came pulling out a mattress. I grabbed the other end and we manoeuvred it thought the small hallways and out the front door. We put it on the top of the car and tied it in, sticking the bear in the back seat with the four other duffel bags.
"So why are you moving in with me I mean?" I asked as she sunk down beside me.
"I got sick of that bastard" she said there were no hint of tears in that sentence only madness so I decided not to pry.
We drove down the road mostly in silence the occasional word about the weather. I decided to look to see what she was doing since we haven't talked for several minutes; she was asleep with her face pressed against the window. I snorted and drove quicker to get to the apartment before she woke. It took two trips to get the bags up stairs and I took about twenty minutes to get the mattress to the elevator. After pulling the mattress in and into the spare bedroom, I had broken a sweat to say the least, but decided to run back down and wake her up.
