Chapter 7
Liam came up behind Mr. Addams, “Sorry, I told him not to get the door.”
I was still standing there dumbfounded. “I just wanted to see who you’ve been-”
“Bye Ian.” Liam cut him off. And I was still standing here not knowing what was happening. “He’s my step brother, his dad married my mom, he just finished school and he’s been looking for a place to live, but meanwhile he’s been living at home since he got the job.”
“Oh...” I said aloud.
“So, are you just going to stand outside all afternoon or…” he said laughing.
I grew red embarrassed, stepping inside. He showed me the kitchen, but he had to run upstairs to get his textbooks, leaving me alone at his kitchen table.
Mr. Addams was sitting in the living room, watching Friends. The kitchen led right into the living room, so I started watching Friends too.
When it was a commercial I asked Mr. Addams “So are you grading my papers?” Thinking about how weird this all is.
“Yeah I am actually; you obviously don’t know your prepositions.” He said holding up my sheet of paper covered in red marks.
“Who needs prepositions anyway?” I said laughing, this was bizarre. I was watching Friends with my English teacher. “So did your mom remarry too?” I asked, not really knowing why I asked the question in the first place.
“Uh, no. She died, from breast cancer.” He said locking his eyes that were filling with tears, on the television.
“Oh my god, I’m so sorry.” I said, turning back to my blank biology notes.
“It’s alright.” He said, getting up and going to one of the fridge. “Are you hungry?” He asked.
I instinctively said no, and then started kicking myself; I wasn’t going to fall back into old habits. He looked at me, I was sure he could tell I was lying. Finally, Liam came back down.
“Sorry, the cat decided to use the global book as a scratching post.” He said lifting up the shredded covered book. We both laughed.
Mr. Addams came over and set a bag of chips in front of us, looking at me he said “Eat up.”
“Thanks.” I whispered. The rest of the afternoon was a lot less awkward then I thought it would be. We made a lot of jokes, and the afternoon went by fast. I must’ve stuffed the portrait Isaac drew for me in my algebra binder because when I opened it, the picture fell out. I tried snatching it up before Liam noticed. But he was quicker than I was.
“What’s this?” He asked laughing; he stopped when he saw what was in it. “This is beautiful, did you draw this?” He asked looking up at me with his mouth hung open.
“No a friend did.” I said taking it back.
“Who?” He asked curiously.
“Isaac Anderson.” I replied quietly.
“Oh yeah, I saw you sitting with that freak at lunch, you know you could’ve sat with me.”
“That freak? Please elaborate on what exactly you know about him.” I said, getting mad. I don’t know why I was defending him.
“Just look at him! He’s got hole in his ears you could stick your fingers through!”
“So being different makes you a freak. Okay.” I shot back.
“No, he’s a total suicidal outcast.” I slammed my book shut at that. I was done. “No, I didn’t mean that, I’m sorry.” He softened his voice.
“So, he’s a freak because he’s suicidal. What does that make me to you?” I asked, I thought I could actually end up trusting him.
“No it’s different.” He began but I cut him off.
“It’s different because why? You like me? Him being suicidal is probably just a rumor too. I really think I’ve over stayed my welcome. I’ve got to go.” I said packing up my stuff. I walked out the front door leaving him searching for words. I heard the door close behind me. I assumed Liam was coming after me. I turned around, ready to tell him to leave me alone.
But instead I saw Mr. Addams.
