I woke up because I started to feel the sunlight hit my face. I groaned as I turned over, trying to block the sunlight from reaching my face when I felt something odd next to me. I reached my hand out, my eyes still closed, and patted the space next to me. That's when my eyes flew open and I realized that Clint wasn't next to me. I quickly sat up and glanced around the room.
"Clint...?"
I sighed then ran my fingers through my hair before pulling the covers back and got out of the bed. I looked on the floor to see that Clint's clothes were gone. I didn't really think that Clint would actually leave me this morning or maybe I should've. Like I said before, Clint is practically Firebird's right hand man and she probably needed him this morning so I can't really blame him for leaving me. Still, it would've been nice to wake up to a warm body next to me and perhaps receive a good morning kiss? Am I asking for too much? I feel like I am. God, i'm so lame...
I grab my clothes off the floor and start to put them back on. I needed a shower majorly but i'll take one later once I go see where Clint is at. I went over to the bed and quickly made it up. The last thing I wanted was for one of the adults to come in and see the bed a mess like someone had fun here last night. After I fixed the bed up as nice as I can, I left the room and walked downstairs. When I walked into the kitchen, I noticed that a group of people were eating. I looked around the room, seeing that everybody wasn't saying a word while I ate.
"Rodney!"
I glanced over to see my mom come up to me with a bowl of food.
"Here's some breakfast for you. Did you sleep well last night? I didn't see you in the room."
I took the bowl from her and nodded. I didn't really want to mention that I had sex with Clint last night. That'll be too awkward. I just started to eat when I looked up and noticed Clint eating across the room from me. He caught my eye. I waited to see if he'll come over and talk to me but he didn't. He just...went back to eating. I blinked my eyes in confusion. I wasn't sure why Clint was ignoring me now. I watched Clint walk over to the sink and put his breakfast bowl in it then left out of the house. I sighed then glanced down at my food. Grits, sausages, toast, bacon. I wasn't really sure how the group managed to cook this food but I wasn't about to complain. Food was food and food was better when it wasn't in a can.
After breakfast, I decided to help mom tend to the wounded some more. I was starting to get bored but that all changed when Firebird put me on garden duty. I took the garden gloves and a mask from her then went up to our garden that was in a rectangle medium sized box and started to get to work. I pulled out a couple weeds and planted a few veggies. By the time I finished with the garden, I was tired and needed a break. I pulled the gloves off my hands and took the mask off my face then sighed. I glanced around to see Clint staring at me. I wondered if he was going to say something but he didn't. He just turned around and acted like he didn't see me. Okay, now i'm getting pissed off. Why was Clint ignoring me?
I went to see what my mom was doing after I finished with the garden. I helped her a little bit but I couldn't take my mind off of Clint. We had a perfect night last night and now he's ignoring me and acting like I don't exist? Was this real? I didn't want to think about it too much but it was irritating me. I needed to talk to him.
"Cloud, let's go for a drive."
I glanced over to the door to see Clint standing there. I sighed then looked at my mom. She looked at me.
"Go ahead. It's alright. I've got this."
I nodded then stood up and walked over to my back pack and grabbed my dad's handgun then stuffed it into the back of my pants. I followed Clint out towards the red four door truck and got in. I buckled myself up and looked out the window. This was my chance to see what is up with Clint. He's been acting really weird all day today and I need to know what's going on.
