Chapter 2
After I got out of the shower I rubbed the steam away from the mirror and took a good look at myself. 'Just chill out Savannah, it was just a fight just like any other day' I said to myself. But deep inside I knew that everything was just too much for me to handle. Not only had I just lost my job, but also I had also just lost what I thought was the love of my life…to a man, lost my best friend to drive by shooting, and just lost my cat that I have had since she was a kitten. And now I just gotten into a fight with my mother that I knew would only escalate in front of guests. But me being me, I just shook it off and walked into my room and decided what to wear. I finally decided on a pair of black pants, my black pumas, and a tight white button down shirt. I did my makeup dark, to contrast with my red streaked blonde hair and put a fresh coat of black nail polish on. Just as I finished doing my hair my mom called me down,
"Savannah!! Get down here and help me set the table…your brother will be here any minute!!"
"Yea sure mom, be right down"
I went downstairs and just as I finished setting the table, I heard the door open and stampedes of feet enter the house.
"MOM!!! SAVANNAH!!! I'M HOME" I heard a familiar voice yell
"ADAM" I yelled as I ran toward him ready to be in the comforting embrace of someone who understands me.
"Hey Savvy, what's goin on" Adam smiled at me "How are things?"
"Well you know sucky as usual, but I think you're being kind of rude leaving your friends out there in the hallway tell them to come in and then you can introduce them to everyone." I said walking away feeling someone's eyes on my back, but I ignored the feeling.
Once everyone got settled in and relaxed, My mom came out and greeted everyone with a fake smile and a fake attitude, like usual.
"Mom…Savvy this is Jay, Chris, Matt and Jeff." Adam said
I looked at each of them and thought to myself 'great more muscle heads to destroy the house, clog up the toilets and eat all the food' until I caught the stare of a certain one… the one that Adam had introduced as Jeff. I was caught in a stare as my blue eyes clashed with his green ones. I was finally snapped out of the trance when my mom smacked upside the head "Hey Savannah snap out of it and come help me get the food ready. I'm sure that Adam and his friends are starving."
"Yea sure mom because Adam is the only one that matters right?" I said with an attitude "and by the way don't hit me, you bitch"
Everybody in the room including Tabitha looked at me as I walked out of the room. Adam just shrugged and told everyone to come to the table
