Living In The Shadows

Chapter 22

The song on the side is 'Catch Fire' by 5 Seconds Of Summer. I really want to listen to all the new songs live, but I want to hear them live for the first time at the concert that I hope to go to, but that I'is in three months, and I am very impatient...

I really don't want to wake up, but I know I have to. I didn't fall asleep until about 4AM.

Despite the fact I'm extremely tired, I get out of bed anyways.

Half of my memories are still a blur, I'm not sure if all my memories will ever come back.

I'm not really sure what to do, I'm in someone else's house.

Sleepovers at other people's house were never my thing. I had preferred being at my own house, that way I knew where I was.

After taking a half hour to get up, I walk into the bath room.

Today I put my hair up, because I have been wearing it down too much.

I put on a loose black and white stripped(the black stripes being thicker than the white) shirt and black shorts(I would have worn white, but for the first time in three months, my period decided it was time for me to bleed, so black was the safer option).

For my shoes, I wear white Converse.

After deciding that I look good, I leave the bathroom.

I sit in the room I had slept in last night, the door closed, lights off.

I have always preferred keeping the lights off, I don't know why. Darkness has always been more comfortable for me.

Not that it matters anyway, the sun is giving the room more than enough light.

I hear a knock on the door.

"Come in," I say, not knowing what else I would say. It's not like it is my house where I know it is just my brother attempting to annoy me.

The door opens and Cole's mom walks in, shutting the door behind her.

"Hello," she greets me.

"Hi," I say, I am questioning why she is here, well it is her house, let me rephrase that, I wonder why she is talking to me.

"So, Brinn," she says looking at me.

"Yes?" I ask her, I have no idea what's going on.

"You like my son." She tells me, she doesn't ask if I like him, she tells me I like him. I am questioning her saying that when she barely knows me.

"What?" How does she know that? I'm not going to deny it or anything, but I want to know why she would think that.

"Oh, please, everyone can see that you two like each other." She says like it's the most obvious thing ever.

"You think he likes me?" I blurt out, is that really all I got out of that?

"Brinn, I'm his mother, I know he likes you. Actually, even if I wasn't his mother I could be able to tell." Am I really that blind? I have suspected it a bit, but I didn't think my suspicions could actually be a reality.

"Really?"

"Yes, really, I am not going to lie to you about something like this. I like you, I approve of your relationship with my son." She says, we have a relationship? Is there something I'm missing here?
