Silent Pages (sequel to Every Last Page)

Chapter 4

It's now Saturday and the warm water from my shower head is pouring down my body as I grab some soap and work it through my hair.

I woke up this morning with Noah completely gone, I guessed he had probably just went home early. I didn't question it because I knew he probably wanted to go check on his family, at least I hope.

We had cuddled all night and it was kind of nice I will admit, but I know I can't like him because he's my brother best friend, he'd get pissed if I did.

I turned the water off and opened the glass shower door to grab my towel feeling a cold rush of air cover my body. Water dripped from my hair onto my floor, I went to my mirror which was all fogged up from the blazing water. I took my hand towel and wiped a small area to see myself.

My phone was sat on the counter, I had texted noah asking when he left.

Noah
Today 9:45 AM

Hey what time did you
sneak out?
Read 9:52 AM

Read. How nice of him.

I put my phone back down on the counter and grabbed my hair products from one of my drawers and ran it through my thick blonde hair.

When I finished with my hair and stuff I went to my closet to pick out some sweat pants, along with a hoodie. I didn't feel like doing much today since it was a Saturday and I had no plans, nor could I really go out since most places had been on lockdown because of the heavy rain fall and wind last night.

I got changed then went to grab my backpack from downstairs, I opened my door and saw Raedyn and Maddie cuddling in his room watching a movie, must be nice. I paused and took in the sight before I ran back down the stairs to grab my backpack and ran back upstairs with it shutting my door behind me.

I sat down at my desk and pulled my school issued laptop out, entering in my password and I started working on any of the homework I had left from the beginning of school.

It had been three hours of me wrapped up in on of my blankets sitting at my desk working on all of my homework. I was bored, like big time bored. I had no one to hang out with, Alana was on vacation with her aunt and uncle in Montana, Maddie was with my brother, the others girls in my group I wasn't close with, and Noah was ignoring me.

With nothing to do I went into my closet to go through a box of my moms things she had given me over the years, even though I knew I would regret looking through it I always loved looking at photos of how happy she was.

I turned on my closet light and walked in reaching up tall to grab the white shoe box from the top of my closet. I pulled it down, set it on the floor, and sat down to start going through it for the thousandth time.

I pulled out ten photos my mom and dad had took over the years, the first four were really cute ones of my parents. They were so happy, I miss seeing my dad as happy as he was then.

The next three were of me and my mom at the beach on my 14th birthday, I had wanted all of my friends to come over and have a blast with me swimming. My mom and dad had this elaborate plan to scare us all though.

~Flashback~

"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Rowyn...happy birthday to you!!" All of my friends cheered and sang as I blew my candles out on my birthday cake.
