Christy decided to stop at the grocery store for a few items before she headed back to the house. For some reason, she always felt safer at night than she did during the day so she was actually happy to stop by the store that evening. Winter was coming up fast which means night time was longer than normal, which was completely fine with her. Parking at the back of the parking lot, she slipped out of her truck but didnt bother locking it. It wasn't like there was anything important in there anyway. Pocketing her keys and cellphone, she walked into the store.<br/><br/>Heading straight for the back aisles, she grabbed two boxes of lucky charms, her favorite, a gallon of cookie dough ice cream, another favorite, and a gallong of milk. Ever since she was little, no matter what she ate, she never gained any weight and stayed her toned self. Which was completley fine with her since she loved chocolate and ice cream. Setting her groceries down on the moving belt, she smiled for a moment at the boy behind the register. The boy grinned, thinking she thought he was cute in some way. "So what's your name hot stuff?" he asked, raising his brows suggestively. Christy rolled her eyes and took out her wallet. "None-ya. Whats the total so i can get out of here and away from you," she asked. The boy looked like suddenly the world had crashed down onto him as his eyes widened, then a scowl flitted across his features. "Fifteen dollars and twenty-seven cents," he muttered, holding out his hand.<br/><br/>Christy fished the exact amount out of her wallet and hand it to him, before taking her groceries. "You should really learn to smile more often. No wonder girls don't like you," she commented with a smirk before leaving the store. Not that the guy wasn't cute or anything, but she had never really been interested guys. It was as if she was holding out from someone else, but she hadn't found him yet. Christy had kissed and made-out with guys before, but not because she actually liked them. She usually got stuck with them in stupid games like 7 minutes in heaven or truth or dare. Tossing her groceries into the passenger seat, she climbed back into her truck and started it up.<br/><br/>~~~~~~~~<br/>Driving up to the house, she parked it in front and grabbed her groceries. Leaving her truck door open, she went into the house and set all the groceries on the kitchen counter before walking back out to the truck. Leaning in, she hooked her fingers around the strap of her backpack before pulling it out. Shutting the truck door with her foot as she crunched her way through the fallen leaves to the porch. Tossing her backpack and school papers into the garbage can, she smiled and happily jogged up the stairs to the front porch. Walking inside the house, she shut the door and kicked off her shoes. "Last day of highschool Christy! You are now a free woman," she said to herself and laughed softly about it.<br/><br/>Sliding into the kitchen, she went over to one of the cabinets and stood on her tip toes to reach the candles at the top. Taking out nineteen birthday candles, she laid them out on the marble kitchen counter and took out her gallon of ice cream. Popping off the lid, she stuck all nineteen candles into the ice cream and grabbed a lighter. Lighting all the candles, she closed her eyes and made a wish before blowing them out. Tossing the lighter back into a drawer then the candles into the trashcan, she grabbed a spoon and took a bite of her ice cream. "Happy birthday Christy.." she murmured to herself as the feeling of lonelieness sunk in. Looking around the kitchen, she sighed and grabbed the gallon of ice cream.<br/><br/>Heading to the living room, she set the ice cream and spoon down on the living room coffee table. Walking over to the TV, she picked up a DVD case from the top of the TV to check on what her mom had in the DVD player. "Hmm.. No i dont think i want to watch that.." she murmured and tossed the movie 'Dracula' into the trashcan. Walking over to the DVD bookshelf, she ran her fingers over the spines of the movies before stopping at a specific one. 'Titanic' was what it read and she shrugged, pulling it out. Opening it up, she popped it into the player and pushed play. Walking back over to the couch, she stopped and looked at the front door as a strong knock echoed throughout the empty house.<br/><br/>Groaning softly, she took another bite of her ice cream before walking over to the door. Unlocking it, she opened it up wide as if she wasn't afraid of whoever would be knocking at her door this late at night. Looking at the very good-looking man standing on her front porch, she rose a brow and crossed her arms over her chest. "May I help you?" she asked.
