What Hurts The Most

I woke up earlier than I thought I would seeing as I had stayed up so late, maybe my brain wanted me to say goodbye to my parents before they left. I got out of bed and could hear my parents down in the kitchen.

They smiled when I walked in to get my coffee. It was a bit awkward since I really didn't connect with my parents since they weren't around much so we just kind of sat in a silent kitchen, Dad reading the paper and Mom looking around the house.

"So you and Tony?" My mom said quietly and I looked at her.

"What about it?" I said stoically.

"Are you guys... a thing or something?" She said coyly.

"No, we're just friends." I chuckled. It was a tad bit of a lie but I figured they wouldn't be around so it didn't really matter.

She didn't say anything more on the matter, only chuckled. I finished my coffee and went back upstairs until my parents said they were leaving.

Their belongings were all packed up in the car and they were walking around the house and look kind of sad.

"Well, sweetheart, we'll be off. Remember, be good and stay out of trouble." My mother gave me a hug and smiled.

"Love you, darling." Dad said and hugged me as well before they left. Now I was left in a completely empty house... my house.

I sat around trying to think of what I would do with the house now. I had pondered redecorating and moving things around to the way I wanted them but for the most part I just didn't want to be so alone here.

The thought from last night popped into my head and I decided to look into it. I got dressed and left to search for a new companion. I stopped at every animal shelter in my town and the towns around me until I fell in love.

A little black three month old Scottish Terrier hopped around excitedly with his four siblings and mother. I instantly fell in love with him and filled out the paperwork. I was grateful that the people that worked there didn't make the process a whole ordeal. They just had to come out to check my house and make sure it was a safe place for him and do a background check on me and then I was free to take him home. I already had a name for him.


I left the place smiling just thinking about how spontaneous I was. My parents left me a house and instead of buying groceries, which I always had plenty of, I adopted a dog.

I went out and bought everything I would need for him and set it all up when I got home. I sat back, admiring all the little puppy toys that were in a basket in my living room. He will be spoiled and be loved so much. He'll be like my child.

The rest of my afternoon was spent rearranging and cleaning the two extra upstairs bedrooms. I felt like being productive so I was cleaning and rearranging everything. I was just about to start moving my room into my parents because it was bigger and had a balcony off the back that I always loved and heard my phone go off.

"Hey Tone, What's up?" I said as I wiped the sweat off my brow.

"The guys and I want to come over." He said and I could hear howls and whistles in the background.

"You can only come over if you help me with what I'm doing." I said with a smirk. Free help is the best help.

"Alright, what are we gonna be doing?" He said hesitantly.

"Rearranging stuff."

"Okay... I guess we can help. We'll see you soon."

"Okay! see you soon." I hung up and decided to take a food break before they got here.

I went down the stairs and got some water and started making a sandwich when there was a knock on my door.

"Come in!" I yelled and took a bite of my food.

"Long time, No see, Skye." Vic chuckled.

"It's been a long few weeks, forgive me for not hanging around." I smiled.

"So Tony said we had conditions to coming here to hang out?" Mike said and I nodded.

"Yeah, I'm moving my room into my parents room. Figured I would get some free labor." I chuckled.

"Why?" Vic asked.

"I just wanted the balcony, I've always loved it and since they wont be here anymore I figured I would just take the room." I shrugged and they nodded.

"These weren't here yesterday." Tony said and pointed to the basket of toys and bundle of puppy pads.

"Oh, yeah..." I chuckled. "I decided to get myself a dog so I won't be so alone." I smiled and then the bombardment of questions about the little guy came.

"It'll be a surprise. Right now, we have work to do." I sighed with a smile before going up the stairs.

"So why are your parents not coming back?" Mike asked as he and Tony lifted the mattress and moved it to the room across the hall.

"They just decided that it would be better for both of to live separately. They aren't here often and I prefer being alone so they gave me the house and they got an apartment." All of them except Tony looked at me weird.

"I know, I'm just as confused as you guys but I'm actually happy about it." I smiled and they just nodded.

We moved everything until it was late. My room had been completely transferred and I loved the way it looked. I would have to do some tweaking around with it to finish it but the important things were out of the way.

"Thanks for helping me guys! It would have taken me forever to get all of that done." I sighed as I took a sip if my freshly made jack and coke.

"No problem! You know we're always down to help you out." Mike smiled and the others nodded in agreement.


We sat around and played some video games and watched TV until they wanted to go. I said goodnight to them, cleaned up a bit downstairs and went to bed. It felt like a whole new beginning for me.

Tony was now my boyfriend, I had a house to myself, I'm getting a puppy and shit, I'm being praised by people at school for shutting Danielle down. It all feels TOO good to be true but I'm just gonna roll with it. It feels good to not lay down and think of all the bad things for once.
