Chapter two

As soon as I'm in the kitchen the telephone rings and I jump out of surprise. I inhale a deep breath of fresh air and then answer the phone, waiting for the other person on the other line to talk first. "Hello, Heather?" aunt Megan's voice comes through the phone. I smile and say, "Hey aunt Megan is something wrong?" "Why? Did something happen is everything okay that side?" aunt Megan asks conserned. "Yah everything's okay I was just asking because you called... Any reason you would? " "Oh! Well I just called to check up on you and I wanted to know if you're okay being alone there or if you'd like to sleep here at my house?" aunt Megan asks. I shake my head even though she can't see me and quickly sigh and say, "No, no I'm fine it's not the first time that she's left me alone," "Are you sure?" she asks softly. "Yes I am thanks um I have to go now there's something on the stove I say lyingly." "Okay then sleep well and take care of yourself love," she says."You too, bye" I breath a sigh of relief and put the already full kettel on to make me some tea. I love tea, I love the way it makes me feel... So calm and out of this world. I'm describing the way people describe a blunt and how they feel when they're high. Well tea is the closest thing to high I'll ever get.As I wait for the kettel to boil I reach for the book I keep on the shelf in the kitchen. I keep books around the house in places I'm always in just in case I feel like reading.
