All Chapters of Drowning In You: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

I looked down the road as I waited for the bus that my sister was going to arrive in. She told me that she was only five minutes away but I've been waiting for an extra ten minutes. Today was the dreaded day that Grace decided to visit. Arguing with her would be more annoying and I figured that giving her what she wanted would make her back off. When I texted earlier and asked if she had company, she told me that she was alone. I found that strange. Being the only girl of the family, I expected our parents to be more overprotective about her. Darren must've stolen all the attention. Despite being relieved that she wasn't coming with our parents, I low-key felt like they sent her to spy on me. I sighed. It wasn't like I was looking poorly or doing drugs. They already knew about my preference so, there was no reason to hide it. I spotted the bus making it's way to the stop and I took a few steps back to preserve my life. After the vehicle parked and the doors slid open and a few p

  "That'll be twenty dollars," I said as I looked at the young man in front of me. He searched his pockets before handing me a fifty dollar bill. After getting his change and receipt, I gave them to him and he left to look for the theater where his movie was.  I stretched my arms over my head and yawned. Dropping my arms, I got my phone from my pocket and smiled when I noticed that it was finally the end of my shift and I had a text from Andre. Earlier, there weren't many people who were coming to the register so, I texted him. We were talking about the weather then we ventured into recent memes. He wasn't replying as quick as I wanted him to but I understood that he was busy. Even though I understood that he had plenty of work to do, not forgetting his abundant social life, I still felt frustrated. I wished that he could just go somewhere and give me his undivided attention for at least an hour. Luckily, he always made up fo

"We're out of condoms," Henry said as he looked through the drawer and I hummed. "I'll buy some more after work tomorrow," I said as I kissed the back of his neck. "Okay." He looked at my arms, that were wrapped loosely around his waist and chuckled. "Can I dress up at least?" "I don't think that's necessary though. I like seeing you naked." "Says the guy who's already dressed up." "I'm just in my underwear and a pair of shorts." "And I'm in nothing." Seeing that I wasn't budging, he added, "I need some underwear though." "Then, I'll get them for you." "Sure. They are in the second drawer." He let out an exasperated sigh while I let go of him and got out of bed. Walking to his closet, I opened the drawer and looked through what underwear to get him. We had taken a long shower earlier, since I had to clean him up inside, and were back in his room. It was already evening and before his parents arrived from work, I wanted to be as free with him as I could. Having Henry express

 "That's not how it went though," I said with a laugh."It is. I bet that you don't remember that day," Andre argued with an amused smile."I do. I also remember that my brother came with a friend but I don't remember what he looks like.""Ouch. I'm more offended.""I don't remember much from my childhood to be honest. I don't even remember my classmates in sixth grade."He put his fork down. "There's nothing we can do then.""Don't make it sound so depressing.""It is a little depressing though." I glared at him and he laughed. "But I'm happy that I get to make new memories with you.""Me too. Its funny how things turned out this way.""I remember how irritated you were when I moved in. Your eyes literally showed how much you disliked me."I blushed in embarrassment. "I wasn't excited about suddenly living with some guy that everyone remembered but me.""I doubt that.""Why?""Be

 I sighed as I put my phone aside. After Flynn gave me Andre's address, I've been trying to come up with an effective action plan.Flynn was right. What would I go there to do? Most importantly, how would I leave with my parents around? They obviously wouldn't let me and Mom would just get more upset if I disappeared.But I needed to see him and tell him something. Anything. I was scared that he would get angry with me and push me away, but did he really need to leave? Maybe this was a sign. We weren't meant to be and forgetting about him would probably be better.I groaned. I couldn't do that."How could you leave after changing my mindset, you piece of shit?" I muttered under my breath. I was currently seated in the locker room while I contemplated on all these things. It was my break and I didn't want to go out so, I came here to think in silence.From the money that I currently had, I didn't think that it was enough fo
