Drowning and far from salvation

I came out of the shower drying my hair off; I set aside the towel, opened my wardrobe and searched through my drawers for an oversized shirt I slipped on some black boy-shorts, pulled out an oversized maroon shirt that reached right below my butt and slipped on my slippers. I de-tangled my hair quickly with a comb and began heading down stairs into the kitchen looking for my phone where I last left it; I grabbed it from the counter, looked at the time and saw it was already 9:46 and that I had 3 missed calls from my mom and 6 missed ones from none other than my friend Harper.

I wasn't going to call back I felt horrible and just wanted to get in bed already, I turned off my phone and walked in the living room and took a seat, I sighed looking out the window that wasn't covered up, "Hmm... where is my mom anyways?" I quickly asked myself a little worried. "She should have lef-" I began mumbling as I walked in the kitchen to find a note from my mother.

{Note}

Hey sweetie :) I"ll be spending the whole day at Charlotte's house to get some paper work done, call me when you get back from school. ~Tight hugs, Mom.

I turned my gaze to the small window to my left over our platinum sink gazing at the full moon, "Wow! The moon is amazing tonight!" I thought to myself as I watched the huge glowing sphere become surrounded by a myriad of shining stars. The stars were so bright and they seemed to shimmer reminding me of small ballet dancers, you might think 'How?' well, to me... they do.

Just like when going for a car ride and watching the clouds in the sky one might look like a turtle to me as for you it might look like a horse. My father would always talk about the clouds with me almost everyday, he would tell me what he saw in the sky coming back from work I never knew why and I never asked, but I loved it. I turned my gaze back to the sticky note "I should call her", I thought to myself.

"Ill call her tomorrow morning" I said out loud making sure all the lights we off as I headed towards the stairs to get in bed I've been having such a rough day I don't think I can stay awake thinkin- I was interrupted by a guy's voice faintly coming from outside. "What the-" I whispered approaching my front yard window, looking through the curtains there's a tall boy tugging a dog on its leash. Who walks their dog at this time? He must be lost. I thought to myself squinting my eyes to get a better look at him without even realizing it I'm turning the door knob to go ask him.

"Hey!" I kind of yelled from my door out to the guy, I was taught way better than this to not talk to strangers, but he seemed pretty young could even go to my school and I didn't even care.

"Uh- Ha-Hi!" He yelled back not making any contact with me at all still struggling with the dog. I turned around back inside, closed the door, grabbed the keys and quickly walked out the door towards him.

"Need help?" I asked walking up to him.

"That'd be nic- uh- thanks." He said with a husky voice that made me stop breathing... He sounds familiar. Oh... sh*t...I took a step closer to see enough and get my bootay in that house! It's Jayce. It's Jayce. No. I'm sorry Jayce, but that's your problem goodbye!

"You know, when someone offers t-" He started to talk, but I cut him off.

"Bye!" I said in a horrifying scratchy voice as I rushed into my house.

"Huh.." I heard him ask behind me in confusion as I was halfway across my yard. I closed the door, locking it and checking to make sure it was locked. I hate myself.

I hurried up stairs and fell face forward on my bed "This is what you get Evelyn for being such a darn antisocial chick!" I yelled in the covers of my bed, "And did you hear yourself?! You sounded like some strangled bird!" I yelled to my self making my day seem even worse than it was already. I decided to go to sleep as quickly as possible and get all of this out of my head and wake up forgetting all about this.

I turned off my lamp and slipped under my covers making sure my alarm was ready for tomorrow with that, I faced the ceiling and thought of so many things...the moon, my father, Jayce, my wrists, the clouds and mother. I couldn't go to sleep and before I realize it my alarm is already going off.

Hey there guys! Just wanted to say thanks for reading my first chapter to my new book that I'm very over whelmed about 'Drowning and far from salvation' and if you just skipped all the way to the end just to read the author's note (Which I'm sure nobody does) get that little butt of yours back to the beginning to check it out!

I want to thank the many friends and followers I mean everyone who has been patient with me about the book. Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️

I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I know it's very short forgive me, it's something to get started with.

I would LUV to hear your thoughts and opinions on this chapter and the cover (Which I might change). I have been really busy lately and will be for this whole week, BUT next week will be a pretty free week for me so I will update then. 😄

With that I'd like to say goodnight! And I love all of you out there especially YOU ~Muah!~ 💋❤️
