I scroll through my phone while my pancake browns, looking for a
notification that my date has canceled. But there’s no cancellation, only a
message that my “boyfriend by the hour” as the website called him will be
meeting me Saturday night.

I close my eyes and try to picture the suave, handsome man who was
promised to satisfy my dirty cravings. But all I can see is an image of Ryan,
my older brother’s hot best friend. A man who also happens to be my
roommate and sixteen years older than me. Off limits in every way and also
not interested in me even a little bit.
My screen lights up with a call from an unknown number and I answer
quickly, wondering if it’s about my date.
But it’s not about that.
It’s another automated message from the nearby art school, reminding
me I only have a few days left to confirm my acceptance if I want to join
the fall semester.
I sent some artwork into the prestigious university a few months ago on
a whim. I never expected to hear anything back, let alone that they accepted
me.
It still feels surreal to think that somewhere out there, I’m actually
wanted even if it’s only by a school.
I’ve spent my life as a foster kid, being bounced from one place to the
next. Even my half-brother whose doorstep I landed on seems hesitant to
accept me.
The social worker’s voice from the past echoes in my head, “Some girls
just aren’t wanted. They’re not loveable enough.”
For the first time in years, I let myself drag out the memories I keep
locked away in a box in my mind. That little red house on Stonewell Drive.
Having a mom who put bows in my hair before school. Getting help with
my homework from a dad. Eating meals with a family.
I should have known that wouldn’t last. Nothing good does.
The scent of burned pancake hits my nostrils just as the fire alarm
screeches, alerting everyone in the apartment building that I’m a cooking
disaster.
I shut off the burner then glance in the direction of Ryan’s bedroom.
Eric, my brother, probably slept at the office again. But I hate waking Ryan.
He rarely sleeps due to chronic insomnia.
Since I’m barely five two in heels, I grab a kitchen chair and use it as a
makeshift ladder, hoping I can stop the noise before Ryan is awake.
I manage to shut it off and in the sudden silence, I hear his husky voice.
“What are you burning this time?”
His sudden appearance startles me, and I tip forward in the chair,
headed to the chipped linoleum.
