Moving In - A Vinnie Hacker Story

Moving In S2Pt8 - You Don't Know Anything.

It's been a week since the accident. Vinnie's family was leaving this morning. I missed them. I had a chance to meet them and it never happened.

Jax was supposed to come over today around dinner time. I still don't understand how my aunt is letting him come in the house, but she's just a little odd.

I was still in my pajamas. Was I going to change for him? Absolutely the fuck not. He's really the least of my concerns at the moment. I haven't talked to Vinnie in a week, so that's what is on my mind.

I just kinda slumped around all week. But I was supposed to get my brace off today. It's earlier than they said, but my neck has been healing really well. They said I have "strong, young bones." I didn't break anything, I just got really bad whiplash and I strained a few muscles. I was ok. I wasn't allowed to turn my neck that much for another week, though. I just still couldn't do any physical activity. However, that wasn't gonna be a problem if Vin wasn't talking to me.

Landon drove me to the doctors because my aunt had to go to work. She's really not good at this taking care of me thing. It's probably because she has no kids. I still don't know how Landon's mom is letting him stay for this long. It is summer, but he's never been away from them this long. I would think that he would miss them. I guess not.

I got my brace off, then we went to get food. When we got back in the car, I noticed that he had his headphones. Not the regular Apple headphones, he had his gaming headphones. Why would he bring those to the doctor with me? I decided to ignore it.

The doctors office was far away from my aunt's house, so I took a nap on the way back. When I woke up, we were much closer to home, probably only five minutes away. But, at the last major turn, Landon went the other way.

Y/n: Lan, where are you going?
Lan: I didn't tell you before?
Y/n: No...
Lan: Oh, shit, sorry. I'm going to Vinnie's house. We agreed to hang out today after his parents left. It was the perfect opportunity because you told me that you wanted to be in the car when I went over. Remember your plan that you told me about in the hospital?
Y/n: Yea... Yea, I remember it.
Lan: That is what you said, right? I drive you to Vinnie's. I'll hang out with him for a bit, then I leave y'all alone for a bit after that. Then, I drive us back home. That was it, right?
Y/n: Yup, that was it.

Lan: So, why do you sound like I'm saying something wrong?
Y/n: It's not on you, Landon. I just- we- Vinnie and I haven't really talked for a while.
Lan: Isn't that because you couldn't really look down in order to text him?
Y/n: No. I don't know why, but it wasn't because of that.
Lan: I'm sure it'll be fine. You guys can talk in person. That's always better anyway.

A few minutes later, we were at Vin's house. The only other car there was Kio's. That's good. I can play with Mochi to stop myself from screaming in awkwardness.

We arrived and Lan was in awe at the house. I forgot that he has never been here before. He took a second to walk and look around. I stayed in the car until
he was done roaming around. There was no need for me to go inside and embarrass myself.

He came back to get me after about five minutes. We walked inside and I went straight to the kitchen. I know y'all are not surprised. Yes, I just got food, but he has good snacks and I needed a distraction. I heard them talking behind me, though, and I got anxious.

V: Hey, man. How'd you get here?
Lan: I drove.
V: You have a car here?
Lan: No, no. I took Y/n's car.
V: Oh... does she know that you did that?
Lan: Yea, of course. She came with me.
V: She what? She's here?
Lan: Yea, I think she went over there.
V: The kitchen. Of course.

What the fuck is that supposed to mean? I'm not gonna read into it. He knows I love food.

Lan: Don't worry. I'll give you guys your time. But, COD is sounding pretty good right now.
V: Oh, yea. Ok. Let's go.
