Two Birds One Stone

Chapter 3

A week later and my back is slowly getting better. During this past week I have read over 3 books and watched over 50 movies with AJ. Luca has applied for over 5 jobs and looked at several apartments for us. So as you can tell it hasn’t been a very eventful week.

I’m able to get up and walk around now and don't have to depend on the boys as much now. I have been roaming the house a little at a time, trying to make sure I don't hurt my back even more than it already is. Luca and I plan on going out to find a job today. I am kinda nervous to be going to town today. I haven’t been out of a house in almost two weeks.

Once I get done eating breakfast I go to take a shower and get ready for the day. I turn the shower water on and brush my teeth really quick. Once I get done brushing my teeth I put my hand into the shower water to feel how hot it is. Deciding that it's hot enough I step into the shower washing my hair and body quickly. Once I finish I turn the water off and grab a towel to dry off with.

Once I finish drying off I open my bathroom door and walk into my room, heading for the closet. I pick out a blue tube top with a pair of black ripped skinny jeans to go with it. After I get dressed I blow dry my hair and straighten it. Putting three small french braids on the right side I start on my makeup. I do a simple eye look with winged eyeliner and mascara. For my lipstick I do a natural color that matches my lip color. Soon I’m finishing off the look with a pair of black Chuck Taylors.

I walk out of my room and ask Luca if he is ready. Once he puts his shoes on we walk out the door telling Aj we will be back in a few hours. After an hour of looking we finally find a restaurant that has a help wanted sign on it. I walk inside and ask for an application and walk back outside telling the waitress that handed it to me I will bring it back tomorrow.

As we walk back to the house my stomach starts to growl in hunger. “ Hey Luca can we stop and get something to eat? “ I say as we continue to walk in the direction of the house. As he comes to a stop he turns around to look at me. He has a frustrated look on his face. “ Never mind, I can wait until we get back to the house.” I say quickly afraid that he might get mad.

“No I don’t want you to go hungry for that long of a walk, but we have to hurry up and get home afterwards.” Luca says while looking for the closest restaurant. A few moments later he turns around and starts walking in the direction of the restaurant.

Fifteen minutes later we are walking into DQ. As we wait in line a man that looks familiar walks up to us saying our names. “ Angelina, Luca is that you?” The man says looking at us. A few seconds later I realise it’s our Uncle Kaden. “Your parents are “worried sick”. They told me that you two ran away from home.” Our Unce Kaden says using finger air quotation marks when he said worried sick.

A few seconds later we order our food and go sit down to talk with Uncle Kaden. After a few seconds of silence Uncle Kaden clears his throat. Luca and I both look at him waiting for what he is about to say.” So is it true that you ran away from home?” Uncle Kaden asks with a look of worry on his face. Uncle Kaden has witnessed what our parents do to us. He even took them to court for custody, but he didn't win because he didn't have any proof of the a***e.

After a few minutes our food comes. Once we get done eating Uncle Kaden offers us a ride home. We politely accept and walk outside to his car. It takes us fifteen minutes to get back to the house. Once we get there Uncle Kaden lets us out of the car and heads home. When we walk into the house I wave at AJ and head for my room to get changed.

Once I get into my room I go to my closet to get a pair of black sweatpants and a black crop top. Once I get done changing I go out to the livingroom to watch TV. When I sit down AJ is watching some show about superheroes. I dont bother him. I just sit down and start to watch the show with him.

After a few hours we both fall asleep on the couch together. A few hours later I feel myself being lifted off the couch and carried to another room. A few seconds later I am laying in a bed. Suddenly the bed dips and someone is laying next to me. I don't think too much about it. I will worry about it in the morning for now I’m just going to sleep.
