MINE

Chapter 4: The Mistake

I woke up to an empty sided bed, feeling confused to where Jeremiah was I slowly got up and decided to find him. Although the digital clock said it was 4:05am I felt wide awake.

I opened the door to silence which I expected as I mean it was early in the morning, the pain was not as strong anymore making me walk faster, did I do something wrong? Did Jeremiah regret kissing me? Was all my brain was processing making my nerves more erratic.

I wondered down the long hallway in darkness until I reached the stairs, quietly walking down the cold marble stairway bare footed until I reached the floor.

As I had been here before I knew where the kitchen was so I thought maybe Jeremiah would be getting something to eat. I hoped.

When I reached the kitchen I glanced around in darkness until my eyes caught someone's figure outside by the pool. I slowly went and opened the door still trying to be quiet as the others were asleep.

"What are you doing here?" Jeremiah said with his back to me "I wondered were you went as I woke up and you were gone" I said stood just behind him. "You should go back to bed, you're probably tired" he said all in one calm tone.

"Did I do something wrong? Did you regret kissing me?" I said agitated "You know it's not all about you and your dream world Maeve!" Jeremiah said making me look to the ground with sadness. "What do you want with me Jeremiah? Why did you kidnap me then!" I said using anger to cover up my sadness.

"Get out of my sight Maeve" he said sounding annoying, but I wasn't having this, I mean he kidnapped me, kissed me and now is telling me to get out of his sight!? "No answer my ques-" "Get out of my sight!" he shouted at the top of his lungs while turning to face me.

I quickly turned running back into the house, holding the tears in, this time though I headed for my room while letting a tear slip.

I ran quicker and quicker hoping no one would leave their rooms to see what was going on. Thankfully no one did, letting me straight into my room and laying down their. By this time the running had made my body start to ache however I let the pain just take over while I cried.

I walked to my bathroom fully clothed, turning the shower to cold, and just letting it wash me over while I sat on the cold tile floor, so the water could cover my tears.

About 10 minutes later the bathroom door opened, though I kept my head on my knees.

"What are you doing? Come here" a soft voice I instantly knew as Hailey's said to me while walking closer to turn the shower off.

She grabbed my arm softly holding me while taking me out of the shower and grabbing the towel. Although me tears were still streaming down I let them as I felt I could trust Hailey.

"Let me guess this has something to do with Jeremiah?" She said although she said it more as a statement. "Men, they just like to push our buttons" Hailey said making me chuckle shortly.

"Come on let's dry your hair and get you changed to sleep as it's half 4 in the morning" Hailey said while grabbing a white oversized T-shirt for me so I could change out of the black shirt that was now soaked.

"Thank you Hailey, I'm probably just going to throw my hair up and go straight to sleep instead as you need to sleep as well you know" I said while taking the shirt and becoming more composed with my emotions.

"You know Grayson is downstairs having a word with Jeremiah, but you know I think you should show Jeremiah what he's missing tomorrow" Hailey said while I looked her through the reflection of the mirror confused.

"What do you mean?" I said sounding intrigued. "Well tomorrow as you'll be joining us now for meals, their is most the men that join as well and don't tell Grayson I said this but most of them are really fit" she said while winking at me which made us both giggle.
