Fallen (Fallen 1)

“Okay.” I said still in awe.

I went into the bathroom and closed the door. I would take a long hot bubble bath and then go to bed.

I turned on the water and began looking for the bubble bath and a towel. I found them under the sink. I poured some bubble bath into the steaming water.

I turned off the water and put my clothes in the hamper then I climbed into the hot water. Instantly I felt my muscles uncoil. I laid my head back and relaxed. So, much had happened in one day. My mom was released from the hospital, I went sightseeing with Jonathon, I saw Jonathon’s mother’s garden, I found out Jonathon and his family are vampires, Jonathon is my soul mate, my mom is now a vampire, I got attacked by my mom, and met Jonathon’s entire family, Patrick, Amelia, Joseph, Danny, Mason, and Diana. It’s been a busy day. It was enough to exhaust anybody.

I climbed out, dried off, wrapped the towel around me, and let the water run out of the bath tub.

I went back to the room, my room. All my stuff was waiting for me on the bench. I put on my pajamas and climbed into the bed. I turned off the light and grabbed my pillow and teddy bear. As soon as my head hit the pillow I was asleep.

Chapter Eleven: Daily Grind

I woke up and stretched. I looked at the clock, it was 6:15. Plenty of time to get ready; at least by my standards. I headed to the modern shower. I looked at the claw foot bath tub. It seemed miss-placed in the mostly modern bath room. I let the water beat down upon me.

I got out and wrapped the towel around me. I walked back over to my room and grabbed my little bag that contained my makeup and hair supplies. I also, grabbed a pair of clothes.

I went back over to the bath room and got dressed. I put curl product in my hair. I was leaving my hair curly today and if I didn’t put any product in it, my hair would be a major frizz ball. I shuddered at the thought of the furry mess it could become it not tamed.

I put my makeup on looking in the huge bathroom mirror with lighting that would make celebrities green with envy.

I looked at my watch. I had plenty of time to unpack. I went back to my room and grabbed my suit case. I unzipped it and began to organize my things into the dresser. There wasn’t a closet. I guess at the time the house was built closets hadn’t been invented yet.

I finished and looked at the clock. I guessed I should find Jonathon so we could go to school.

I opened the door to the hallway to find Diana standing there, hand raised, about to knock.

“Hey.” I said.

“I just came to tell you that after school today Jonathon has to go stay with your mom. So, you’ll ride home with me. I thought since its Friday we could go shopping. Is that okay with you?”

“Yeah that sounds great.” I’ll need the distraction from worrying about Jonathon.

“Okay, I’ll meet you in the parking lot after school. Jonathon will walk you to my car.”

“Alright.” I said.

“Fantastic, I’ve been looking for an excuse to go shopping.” Diana said clapping her hands together.

We walked down the hallway and then down the steps.

“Diana is there any food here?”

“No. But Jonathon went out and got you some breakfast this morning. We’ll have to go grocery shopping today too; we can’t have you going hungry. Your food is in the kitchen. Do you know where the kitchen is?”

“No,” I said and she led me there, disappearing before I could say thanks.

My stomach growled.

I went into the kitchen and saw Jonathon sitting at the table with a plate of food in front of the seat across from him.

He grinned when he saw me.

I glanced around the kitchen. It was decorated in a Tuscan style.

I sat down in front of the food. There was an egg and a croissant. It tasted delicious.

Jonathon watched me.
