Chapter 28 Annie

• I finally get my off. Two weeks of working my butt off. Who would have thought I could survive. In fact, who would have thought a lot of things? If I recorded my life and uploaded it on YouTube, it would have hit a trillion views by now. James and I have barely had a lengthy conversation. I miss him. It feels like he barely noticed my absence. One minute he’s all protective the next he is silent. I know I said I’ll never be the first to spill out my guts but if I keep feeling this way, I may not be able to help myself. Especially not when I have the whole week to myself. These feelings are strange to me, heavens help me. The weekend went so well and I’m glad I did a sleepover at Jamilas'. It was exactly what I needed.
• The masseuse is indeed blessed. It’s one thing to know how to do something, it’s another thing to be gifted at doing something. After the massage, it felt like a burden was lifted off me.
• Are those voices I hear? No one is supposed to be home except me and James is supposed to be on his afternoon to evening shift. I grab the closest thing I see and tip-toe out of my room. I close my room door as gently as I can and try so hard to glue to the wall where necessary. If only I indulged in watching wrestling or joining father to play COD when I was younger, I would not be shaking like a jellyfish.
