Poor Lash
I walked up the stairs of the basement. I went into the living room, and I saw Lash coming into the house with a bag of stuff to stay the night. I also heard my mom say that he could stay anytime he wanted to. I really wanted to know what was going on, but I wasn't going to pry. That was rude. I went to my mom and gave her a hug, as well as my dad. I petted Cone for a good five minutes, like I do every night. I said good night to James and Lash. I walked up the stairs of our two story house and down the hall to the last door. I walked into my room, and packed my backpack for tomorrow. I out my phone in it's holder, and my laptop in it's charger. I closed my closet, turned my alarm on, and picked out some pajamas. I wore my black Soffes with a white tank top. I put my light brown hair into a bun, and laid down in my pink covered bed. I turned off the light on my night stand, and tried to fall asleep. I looked at my clock and it said 11:30. I thought about my first day again. I met Zach, Will, Layla, Ethan, and Magenta. Also, I met Lash. I got placed in Hero, had homework on the first day, got threatened, found out I have a secret admirer, Lash came over for dinner, and he's staying the night. But why! And why did my mom say he could stay anytime he wanted, along with her 'I am so sorry' look on her face when she said it. I looked back at the clock and it said 12:00. I closed my eyes and recited the whole Fall Out Boy: From Under The Cork Tree cd lyrics. I looked back at the clock, again, and it said 1:30. I got out of bed, and opened my door. I walked down the stairs, into the kitchen, and sat down at the counter.
"Hey." I looked over to the seat across from me.
"Hey Lash. Couldn't sleep either?"
"Yeah, I was thinking about something."
"I don't want to pry or be rude or anything, but why are you staying here? I mean, you've never came over before, why start? I'm not being rude or anything am I?"
"No, you're not. Something happened at my house, and it's just a bit too much for me."
"What happened?"
"My...my parents got in this really big fight. I was watching from the top of the stairs. My mom threw divorce papers at my dad. He started screaming at her, and she screamed back. They have never fought before, never. They started throwing things, and I saw my dad grab a pen and sign the papers. He screamed 'I'll see you in court' and he walked out of the house. My mom went into the living room and sat on the couch. I called Speed and told him, and he said that I could come over. He's met my parents before, and he said he couldn't believe it. I've never seen them have any signs of divorce before. It just hurt really bad." I gave him a hug, which startled him, but he got over the shock and hugged me back.
"I'm so sorry." I was in tears. It was a sad thing. I mean, he is such a hard kid, but on the inside, so soft and caring. And this soft and caring kid's parents just got divorced and had an argument, when this kid has never seen his parents fight.
"Thanks." I gave him another hug when we went back up the stairs. I said good night to him, a second time, and he returned it, going into my brother's room. I walked to the end of the hallway to my room. I opened the door and closed it. I went over to my bed and grabbed a tissue, then blew my nose. I threw the tissue away, and went to bed, images of Lash filling my mind.
