Lost Beyond Repair

Chapter 8:

Nickolas POV

I was about to head to my room when I heard my mom’s voice speak out. I went towards the living room where her and my dad were sitting enjoying some tv. “I see you’ve made a new friend already, how is that going for you honey?” My mom asked with a smile plastered on. “It’s good for the most part. Emily is amazing. I helped her cook dinner tonight for her entire family.” I said excitedly. “For the most part? What do you mean? It sounds like you had fun.” My father piped in. “Well Emily is great, but her sister her all handsy and her father kept pestering me about how I should consider Anastasia, Emily’s sister to show me around school this week.” I retorted back. “Oh boy that’s a rough time. What about her mother? What did she have to say?” My mom chimed back in. “Her mother seemed nice for the most part and I met her brother, but he seemed rude before noticing I was there and then put on a facade.” My parents looked at each other first giving a look before responding back to me. “Well son, we might think you should stay clear of them. Maybe not so much Emily, but try and keep clear away from everyone else. We were in town today and heard some awful remarks about that family.” I stared blankly at them. I understand where they are coming from, I’m their only child and they want to protect me, but I’m not a baby anymore and I can take care of myself. After having a long talk with my parents I bid them goodnight and went to my room.

I closed my door behind me and opened my window a little bit as I told Emily I would. I turned on my tv and Xbox to put on Netflix as I had some background sound to pick up my room from this morning. I cut the boxes and folded them down before gathering them all together in a pile. I went to my closet to get a new change of clothes and got ready to shower.

After my shower I got back to my room put my dirty clothes in the hamper and watched tv for a bit. As I was watching tv I thought about how I should’ve given my number to Emily. I guess that will wait until Monday when we get to school. Maybe I could drive her there or we could walk together. I’ll ask her tomorrow before she gets ready for the day. Eventually I shut my tv off and went to bed.

Emily’s POV

After heading back inside I made sure to close the door tightly and lock the deadbolt. Everyone seemed to be in bed for the night “thank god for that.” I thought to myself as I turned out the all the lights that were currently on. I went to my room and changed to my pajamas tossing my clothes from today in the hamper. I should probably do laundry tomorrow while everyone isn’t home. It’ll be easier without having comments thrown out at me.

I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. When I came back to my room I locked the door so no one could come in. I didn’t want anyone to ruin one of the best days I’ve had in a long time. I strolled over to my window and opened it a little bit since that’s what Nick and I agreed to do.

I climbed into bed and watched some Netflix on my phone. Since I work my part-time job and save mostly everything unless I am in dyer need of personal things I have enough to pay my own Netflix account every month. I’m hoping I can save enough for a car. I know I won’t be able to bring the car here, but if I can buy one and park it out back in an alley to hide I should be okay.

After watching a bit of The Good Place I eventually put my phone away on the charger I have hidden in my bed side table. I got up and turned off my light and laid back down. As I lay there I was pondering on what I could do tomorrow. I know I need to do laundry for everyone especially since I’m cleaning mine. I also need to go into work and take a picture of the schedule to know when I need to be in. Maybe after I do that I could go to the general store and buy a new pair of shoes and work pants along with some new pens before my shift on Monday.

After thinking what to do tomorrow I ended up wondering my mind to Nick. I have never met someone I felt like I could be so open with. I don’t even open up to my best friend Amelia. Partly because I’m not sure if she’s just being nice to me all the time or if she genuinely cares about me. I should probably get Nick’s number eventually. I wouldn’t mind texting him occasionally. I don’t want to sound to overbearing since we just met.

Eventually I fell asleep with my mind replaying everything that happened today. I had a wonderful day and I couldn’t thank Nick enough for that.

The morning came and I woke up to my alarm. I shut off my alarm, saw that it was 7am and wandered over to my dresser. I got a new pair of clothes for today and skipped my way to the bathroom. I showered, brushed my teeth and did my daily facial routine. When I got back to my room it was 7:30 already. I put my clothes and towels that I’ve been using into the hamper before going to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Today I made omelets for everyone with a side of bacon and a cup of orange juice. I told everyone breakfast was ready for them and went back to my room to eat mine. When I was done I started doing the dishes, since I’m doing laundry today I can’t run the dishwasher, because it’ll flood a little bit. As I was washing them my mom came up behind me and told me they’d be going to the supermarket and will be out until sometime in the afternoon. Everyone excluding me, which is fine I have a whole day planned today and I’m not letting anyone change that. Once dishes were done and I had started a load of laundry I went back to my room and saw that Nick was waiting by his window. I smiled and skipped to my window. “To what do I owe you this fine morning?” I asked playfully. “Well I was wondering what you were planning on doing today? Also I’d like to give you my number if that’s okay.” He chirped back. I told him everything I had planned for today and agreed to exchange numbers with him. Eventually he asked if he could come hangout and help me with my errands which I also agreed to.

After about an hour I heard a knock on the door and opened it to greet Nick on the other side. He came inside and started helping me with laundry right away. We had a good time we even got laundry done in twice the amount of time that it takes me to do it myself. We even went to town together. He drove this time and we had fun doing everything together.
