Colby's POV


Well this day out was a complete mess... it was fun.. and I totally don't regret skipping school!


But now it has ended me with the label of "grounded".. what parent bullshit is that?


Apparently this music festival was right out side both of Tonys conferences today, of course he saw me and god damn I never heard the end of it.. in fact I'm still hearing it because I'm right next to him..


Since I'm not at school, no one could pick Ellie up since Tony is already running late after discovering my dissapearnce from school, now I have to direct Happy to her school..


We arrived at Ellie's school around an hour before it finishes..


"Cobee!" She jumped in the car.. definitely the new fresh air this car needed. The smile on her face dialed down.. even the 5 year old noticed the negativity. I just smiled and Happy continued.


After 15 minutes we stopped at an unfamiliar location.. well not unfamiliar, it's in New York.. just not... home. Tony and happy stepped out of the car. Ellie and I followed..


"You guys are gonna have to come with me.." Tony said


I rolled my eyes in annoyance.. we saw acouple faces.. Steve, Bruce.. and Natasha..


Natasha... shes the type of person that if I slept near I would be scared she would kill me in my sleep.. ya know? Like old times..


Ellie and I were the last to enter the room after tony..


"You better have something to do kids.. it gets boring.." Happy said before leaving.. I saw him walk into the light of civilisation.


Steve looked at Tony and pointed to us..


"Don't ask.." He brushed it off...


This office conference room was lit up by the windows outside, a medium sized room with a big table that takes up 55% of the room, in the middle of the table was some water and glasses.. seeing the water didn't give me much hope of getting out of here soon.


After everyone has sat down, Ellie and I took the seat of the cold, hard and really uncomfortable floor..


~~ 1 hour later ~~


It's been acouple days.. I don't know how I can handle this any longer.. kidding! But it has been boring... boring is such an understatement, this conference is not only boring for me but for EVERYONE!


Even tony is drifting asleep, my question is why he does this to himself.. I wouldn't!


I wouldn't be that bored if I had my phone.. but I guess that'd be beating the system of being 'grounded'.. or not? Mum or Dean never really gave a shit until all a sudden. Well I've been told that Mum or Dean were never really parents to us anyway..


if I ever got in trouble it would be over something dumb like, I never put this away properly, just sitting down on a couch apparently doing 'nothing', sometimes for bigger reasons.. I quickly learnt how to stay out of sight though.. it was kinda like a hide and seek..


Usually if Dean got too aggressive mom would step in, usually not doing much to help the situation but she did something. The only good moments I've ever had being in the hands on my mom we're getting Ice Cream at this shop down town.


Those outings stopped when there was a shooting and the business closed.. that's my suburb for you.


I snapped out of the thoughts of Ellie poking my shoulder. I drew my attention to her.


"what's up?" I said in a whisper, I faintly hear the chatter of the conference in the background.


"Can you help me with dis?" She pointed to a math book


I motioned to her to sit on my lap.


"What question"


She pointed to the question.


2 x 8 =


"Okay, lets start with 2 x 5.. what is that?"


She counted before answering "10?"


"Good, Whats 2 x 6?"


She looked unsure.. she shrugged.


"Remember what I told u, count 2.. ready 10.. 11... 12"


We counted with our fingers together


"So, 2 x 6= 12?"


"Yup!"


" so then 2 x 7 = 14?" I nodded she held her fingers up and counted in her head


"So what's 2 x 8 bubba?" I questioned


"...16?"


I nodded my head..


she smiled and wrote the answer in her book..


"Be quiet okay Ellie!"


She nodded sliding off my lap sitting onto the floor again.


I took a glimpse at the clock on top of the wall


2:28 pm


I locked eyes with Tony only to break it and go back to looking outside the window... I continued to day dream again.









Another hour passed which felt like eternity


I started to feel the actually pain of sitting for this long.. I can feel my foot tapping so rapidly.. I've looked at the clock 3 times and only 2 minutes have passed. Ellie has had enough too.. she got sick of her homework, the 5 year old looked bored out of her mind.


She laid on my tapping leg, she moved Up N Down with the movement.


I cracked my back again, I looked in my bag hopefully finding something to contain my boredom, hopefully lasting me until the end of this hell hole, I've never wanted to do sport so much in my life.. i felt like drooling over a run to Bronwyns House to the Tower..


Just as I thought, I emptied everything from this bag, all the books, homework and drawing supplies I used for the dumb sketches at school. I huffed and leaned my head.


When will this end?



Dats all I got ladies and gentlemen, great to be back and sorry for being lazy and in creative right now.. I think it's a hard time for all of us creators! ❤️❤️♥️
