All Chapters of After I Met You: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

“No, no, no,” I repeat to myself while pacing around my room. I covered my face with embarrassment. “What happened to me!” I plop on the bed and violently shake my head. Stupid, stupid stupid! Why must all the dumb stuff happen to me? First the incident at the mall, then the nose hit, now that stupid close up. Life is so hard. That scene will forever be stuck in my head. Gosh, that was so embarrassing. The moment she opened the door it felt like time stopped. The moment our eyes connected, I froze. The scent of her shampoo lingered around me. I glazed down to her lips. They were a light pink color and looked as soft as a pillow. I slowly leaned forward without knowing.“Umm. What are you doing?” Wendy asked, confused

“Mom, I’m home!” I yell as I enter the house. I look over at the stack of heels my sister leaves in the corner. I sigh, another day here.  I walk around the house looking for mom. The window was covered, barely any light coming in.  I walk to the diner room seeing both my sister and mom. Guessing how quiet our mom is, they must’ve had a serious talk. “What’s up?” I ask as I set myself on a chair.  “Nothing. Just a friendly chat with mom,” My sister says.  I glance at my mom to see any sign in her, emotionless. Nothing new. “How was work then?” “Good. Thankfully, it was a half-day. I was lacking sleep.” “That’s good,” I grab my mom’s hand. “How about you?

Done. All the laundry has been cleaned. I feel useful.  Once Wendy left, I felt bored. I didn’t want to use anything that isn’t mine, like the arcade, the T.V, everything. The least I can do is to do nothing and sit and watch time pass by, but that would be boring. I started to gather ideas but everything felt too little. My final decision was to do laundry. How exciting. I messed up a few times. Accidentally put the wrong things in the washer. I’m not going to say what, but I am going to say I did it wrong. Let’s say the clothes got a bit smaller than usual.  Now, I have nothing to do. There are no dishes to clean, everything is spotless, and Wendy seems busy. I check the clock above the T.V, 9:09. An hour left, 60 minutes left, something seconds left. I thought doing the laundry would take more time.

Where the heck are we going? The car keeps shaking and there are bumps everywhere! Without the seatbelt, I would’ve hit my head on the roof like nine times. “Wendy!” I scream hoping she would hear me over her evil laugh. “I think it’s time to go home!”“Never!”Oh gosh, I'm going to die today. I haven't even become a dad yet. What a waste of 20 years. I’m sorry to my pet mouse that I couldn’t feed you well. I will join you soon. I close my eyes. Before my life could end, Wendy did a sharp turn, making me bang my head on the window. “Oops. I should’ve said a warning. That must’ve hurt,” She says as I rub my injured head. &ldqu

Gosh, my heart is racing. I was still near Rose but an aisle away. I can hear her fake sobs as Tyler confronts her. The adrenaline from that! I made a comeback without Amber. I should reward myself with some ice cream. I walk back with a successful smile. Amber was still concentrating but was still cautious with her surroundings.  “Where were you?” She asked, trying to sew the last piece of cloth. “Just in the bathroom. Nothing big,” I say in a cocky tone. “It must be a good pee if you look happy. Or was it a poo?”“It was poop. A massive one, in fact. I really wanted it out of my system. And there was pee. Just a small bit, but mostly poop.”“Sounds
