It's now Thursday and I still haven't seen anyone as I've been staying in my room but I've been going to the gym as I mean I did some exercise. I've started packing my bags with let's just say some of the more revealing clothes I have in my closet, I know I'm turning into Hailey.

I think I'm going to go down stairs to get Lunch, I mean a little later than everyone else but it means less people. My god I sound so anti social but it's just because I don't know how to react, i mean I'm going to be colder but what about Hailey?

I've been thinking and depending on how Hailey acts I think I'm just going to be fine with her but when we're away from everyone else. I don't mean to keep this act up but I going to do it until it doesn't hurt anymore.

Most people would say 'why don't you just leave?' Well if I'm honest with you I don't know, maybe it's because on Hailey and Louis or the fact that I have no where else to go or because Jeremiah but I pushed that thought away when it came to mind.

I changed into a white tight crop top with some blue denim shorts and headed to the door, I opened the door looking around for people and then went to the stairs.

I'm not trying to avoid everyone it's just Jeremiah, to be honest I want to know how he's doing. Has he moved on? Has he not? Does he want to see me again? Should I leave? Yep that's the questions that I've been living with.

Anyway I walk down the stair case tightening my high ponytail and walking towards the kitchen. To my surprise no one was there, so I made a piece of toast and at and ate it. I had a feeling everyone had gone out as it was completely silent and the same outside.

While I was eating I saw Jeremiah come down stairs which instantly made me want to leave but didn't when I noticed how he was walking.

Jeremiah sloped from one side to another with messy hair and dark circles under his eyes. When he reached the kitchen his eyes lit when they met mine.

"Maeve?" He said running over and hugging me which I instantly pushed away, I could tell he was drunk from the stench he was carrying around. "Your drunk." I said harshly.

"Maybe but that's no biggie let's have something to eat and talk" Jeremiah said attempting to sit but me having got catch  him as he fell.

"No you need to sleep" I said trying not to sound nice, "but I don't want to sleep without you anymore, when are you coming back to me" He said sadly, I wasn't going to answer as he wouldn't remember when he woke anyway.

I put his arm round my shoulder and started walking him up to his room, and we got closer he stopped walking. "What are you doing?" I said. "I don't want to sleep in there I want to sleep in your room" he said attempting to point to my room.

"No" I said opening his door to be confront with smashed glass and alcohol everywhere, he couldn't sleep in this room even if he wanted to. I put his arm round my shoulder once again and pulled him to my room.

"Are we going to your room" Jeremiah said staring at me. I gave no eye contact and just ignored his question. When we arrived to my room I helped him take his suit off, but Jeremiah started trying to pull up my top. "No Jeremiah" I said making his eyes go to mine.

"But your going to be uncomfortable" he said confusing me. "What?" I said "when you sleep with me" he replied. "I'm not sleeping with you Jeremiah" I said as I walked out my room to go and get some sweatpants for him to sleep in from his room.

I walked back in were Jeremiah was stood shirtless with only trousers on which made me blush. I walked over to Jeremiah's when he suddenly started kissing me. I pulled away and he looked confused "No" I said as I passed him sweatpants and turned around so he could change into them.
