Add a color or two.
Maybe an area rug to help make it feel warmer.
Like a home.
Home . . .
The word makes my heart lurch.
I miss my home.
I wish I lived with Heather.
If I could tell Trent to fuck off, move in with her, live on her couch, and figure out a way to pay for the tuition without his help, I would.
Maybe I can take out a loan with a bank and use the will to show the bank that I’m good for the money. That’s if Trent doesn’t blow through all my cash. Knowing him, he would buy that small country just to spite me.
Probably wouldn’t work, though.
Plus, I don’t want to put Heather out.
She doesn’t need to be mixed in with my personal drama.
Now that I’m alone in the room, I take a minute to look around. I open all the cabinets and the closet.
Just as he said, all my clothing and personal belongings are here.
After I sort where everything is, I go into the bathroom attached to my room and freshen up.
I’m thankful I have a bathroom. I can’t imagine what I would do if I had to go out into the hallway and see him every time I had to pee.
That would be a nightmare.
With only a few minutes to spare, I find my toothbrush and brush my teeth. Something I haven’t been able to do since yesterday.
Sure, I used toothpaste and my fingers at Heather’s, but that’s not enough.
I wish I had time to shower, but . . .
Actually, I might have time.
As long as I’m very fast.
I spit into the sink and turn to the shower.
My hand opens the glass, and then it’s coming to life.
Once I step in, I allow the scalding water to wash away the past few days.
It feels incredible.
Exactly what I need right now.
“I guess it could be worse,” I repeat. “At least there’s a state-of-the-art shower.”
And this time, when I say the positive affirmation, I don’t feel totally doomed.
I can do this.
