Everyone eventually left and it dwindled down to just me, rosie and hudson.

"what time does your sister get home?" i asked while munching on my pineapple.

"in a hurry to kick us out?" hudson snickered.

"chill." rosie nudged him.

"she knows i'm kidding." he smirked.

rosie walked away and parked her behind on my couch and turned on the tv. she's gotten so comfortable so quick and it couldn't make me happier.

"oh so now we know each other because you sat on my living room floor?" i joked but kept a straight face.

"seriously? i was trying to be nice." he scoffed.

"wait," i grabbed his hand.

he continued to walk to the living and tap on rosie's shoulder.

"juliet just texted, she's home."

"alright." she jumped up, more chipper than i would've. "thank you so much for letting us come over for a bit. i think we both enjoyed it."

"anytime. you're always welcome here." i smiles and glanced over at hudson but it wasn't returned.

I walked them to the door and watched them walk down the front stairs before i closed the door.

I was alone now.

Nothing to do.

No one to talk to.

It was so foreign to me to be all by myself. usually, i have at least one person here with me.

I pulled out my phone to text my mom to find out when they planned to come home. While i waited for a reply, i cleaned up the island of my kitchen and the living room.

I heard the faint ding of my phone and checked it, only to see my mom apologizing for not coming home until super late tonight.

It sucks that hudson and rosie has to leave so early, now i'm here by myself all night.

I ran upstairs to lay on my bed to try to get some sleep for school.

Waking up for school had never been something i was good at. When my mom had her 'helpers' as she called them, they would always have to wake me up but since we left there, it's been a struggle getting up.

After scrolling on my phone for way to long, i hopped up and got in the shower.

I wanted to wear something my mom would be proud of, so i wore a black turtle neck tucked into a dark blue and maroon plaid skirt with black stockings. Pairing it with my velvet black mary jane heels, i put on a light amount of mascara with highlight and blush. I was on my way

"Oh my goodness, your outfit is so cute!" violet, one of the people i had met this year complimented me.
