Without You

Part 9 "He is a very healthy human being"

I sit up in my bed and stretch my muscles. I grab my phone from my bed side table and look at the time.

8:21? Who wakes up at that time on a Saturday?

I ungracefully roll out of bed and walk over to my dresser, open the top drawer, and grab a pair of fluffy socks since the floor is really cold.

I control my crazy hair and I walk out of my bedroom and go down the tan carpeted steps.

I get to the bottom of the step, go to turn, and fall flat on my stomach.

Stupid slippery socks.

I lay there for a moment wondering if I should even get up or just go back to sleep. On the floor.

I decide to get up when my stomach grumbles, hungry for food.

"We will see you at 7 tonight," Mom says as soon as I enter the kitchen.

Alone once again.

Me: Y'all can come over

Olivia: Alright we're coming

Me: Ok

30 minutes later, I'm sitting on my couch watching old episodes of Untold Stories of the E.R when the front door bursts open. I can feel my heart jump out of my chest as I jump in my seat.

"What's up bitch!! We're here!" Izzy shouts coming into the living room where I am.

"Oh my heavens," I say referring to her language and her just barging into my house.

They just laugh and plop down beside me.

"So, what are we gonna do?" Olivia says laying her legs over mine.

We sit there for ten minutes not saying a word and thinking about what we should do.

"Maybe we could just swim," Izzy shrugs.

"I'm down," Olivia nods enthusiastically.

I agree and we all go to change. I go to my bathroom, Izzy changes in my bedroom, and Olivia changes in the hall bathroom.

I walk out of my bathroom in my white and black two-piece halter-neck bathing suit.

I see Izzy's suit which the top is a pale pink and the bottoms are a darker blue.

Olivia is wearing a grape purple bikini with semi high-waisted bottoms. They both look amazing and I probably look like a mongoose.

"You look so amazing!" Olivia says once she realizes I had entered the room.

"Yes, girl! Look at you!" Izzy says twirling me around.

"Thank you, ya'll look amazing too."

We all go out back and go towards the pool. I dip my foot into the side of the pool and see that the heaters must be on.

We all put our phones on the side of the pool and Olivia put on music. The music was only coming from her phone speaker so it wasn't too loud.

After talking for thirty minutes about stuff ranging from our family members to if water is wet.

After a while, I've got to pee.

I got up out of the pool and walked to the supply house to get a towel.

"Why are you getting out?" Olivia asked with a pout.
