I sat there waiting for myAunt's phone to ring
More like willing it to
In about thirty minutes some of the parents for the PTA meeting began to come in and those who were familiar with me threw sentences like
'Hey miss, you didn't come to work today?'
Of course I just shrugged it off with a low 'no'
Two hours pass and by that time the PTA meeting was over
My Aunt came up to me and asked if the phone didn't ring I told her no
She picked it up and said aloud
"Yes it rang, there are four miss calls"
Four miss calls!
Each within 10 minutes after I got there
I could've been out ta here a long time ago
With that said she redialled my aunt and she was told I could come any time now
I placed my bag pack over my shoulders as well as my carry on bag and headed through the gates
Because it was a school day there were a tonne of commuters in and around the area, I stood in the line of rowdy and boisterous teenagers who can't seem to understand you don't have to push to get on the bus
I swiped my card and got a window seat so I would know just where to come off.
The bus reached my destination faster than I thought, the nervousness that wasn't there instantly took over.
Get a grip she a cool aunt
I reminded myself
I walked in the lane and turned right
This sun is wayyy too hot
I occupied my thoughts
I climbed the stairs to the apartment and walked to the front doors and knocked lightly when I didn't hear anything I rang the door bell
"Coming" she said in a sing song voice
She opened the doors with a big smile plastered on her face
More than I ever got from my Aunt
Of course I returned it quickly
"What are you standing there for? Come in"
I walked in scanning the familiar and comfortable environment
White
I assume she was in the kitchen before the doorbell rang because she went back in after she let me in and was washing dishes
I brought my bags in the room and set them down in the closet and sat on the bed where Sam Smith was playing loud on YouTube, I noticed she had a keyboard on her bed
Hmmm odd
Out of curiosity I pressed one of the keys and immediately realized it was connected to the TV
Awesome
Fooling around I came off of and activated the Element box connected to the TV
Scanning through it gave a whole lotta options you can watch movies through
I've got to check that thing out later
A couple minutes later I went into the living and sat in the sofa and noticed she was on the porch stabbing dirt
Uh, OK then
I went over there and indeed she was stabbing dirt
"What are you doing?" I asked
"I'm planting flowers vegetables"
"When did you turn a farmer" I laughed
'Well the ones in the market are filled with too much chemicals so I decided it would be best if I planted my own"
"Oh are you going to buy the seeds for them?"
"Yeah right after my soil is ready"
"Soil? Ha! That looks like dirt to me"
"You'll see" she said confidently
"I will indeed" I said walking away
I went back in the room and began watching Power
By the time I finished all the episodes available it was dark out and my aunt sat on the couch in the living room.
"So, Brenda said your too soft for the classroom huh?" Was the first thing she said the couple Minutes I sat out there looking out of space
"She said a lot more than that" I said
Changing the subject she then said
"So Rebecca is having a party next week, I'm inviting you"
Rebecca is her best friend they have been friends for as long as I can remember.
She's a police officer in Prixtons.
"Uh, OK"
She didn't say anything after that instead she got up and went into the kitchen following after her I stood at the wall while she prepared burgers
Washing her hands I heard her say
"Shoot" and started looking out of space
"What's wrong"
"Nothing, I don't even want to say anything is wrong, I don't even want to mentioned it"
Hmmmmm
"Oh, uh, OK"
" I don't think I'm going to be able to make it to Rebecca's party next weekend"
"Wait what? Why? I said looking at her to say the rest
"I have a test to do'
A test?
"What kind a test?"
"Two lumps are in my breasts"
Shut the front door
"What?"
I keep waiting on her to say that she's joking, but she never did instead she continued
"Yeah the doctor said it might be cancer, Might" she said emphasizing on might
When that was said my bottom lip was on the ground and a sad expression overtook my face
"Don't fret over your aunt"
How could I not though?
And like on cue her phone started ringing
"Its Brenda" she said pointing at me
"How'd she know you arrived" she said
Smiling I thought
She cares
I could hear my aunt responding in manner I didn't like
They were talking about me
What did I do now
She handed me the phone and right after I put it at my ears there was shouting
"I can't get in my room! What did you do the door?! There's no physics that can open the door and I don't even know how you locked it!
"What do you mean"
This is no time for Justin bieber conscience
"How did you locked the door like this?!"
"I don't understand"
"I can't get in!"
And it was then she added
"Why can't you do anything!"
Call ended
The tears begun to stream down my face
Even when I'm not around her I feel useless
"Jeez you cry a lot"
"What did she say to you?"
Should I tell her?
No
Hesitantly I lifted my tear stained cheeks
"She says I can't do anything"
