I Dont Know Anymore

My eyes fluttered open.

I was staring up at the ceiling. My body was cold.

Well, that just happened. I thought to myself with a sigh. I saw Markus sleeping soundly beside me, the blanket only pulled up to his waist. Both of us were naked.

Ding dong

The door bell scared me out of my thoughts.

"Who's that?" Markus mumbled.

I remembered what I told Jenna earlier."I think it's my friend." I answer.

He groaned."Go."

I froze for a moment before getting out of the bed, getting dressed and rushing down stairs to leave with Jenna. When I opened the door, she and Keith were both there.

And Pico was behind them.

"Oh, thank god!" Jenna heaves dramatically.

"You had us worried when you didn't answer you phone!" Keith said.

I could see Pico tucking something away in his back pocket before turning back to me."What happened?"

"N-Nothing. I just...got distracted." I avoided eye contact with all three of them when I answered. I couldn't help but notice their concerned expressions, especially Jenna's, who reached for my hands and squeezed them gently.

"At least you're okay. You are okay, right?"

"Yeah, totally. I'm great." I nod with a smile. She sighs and hugs me tight. I was taken aback by this and my eyes met Keith, who was also smiling at me. Pico was smiling at me too, which made my heart skip a beat.

Jenna dragged me off to her car and made me sit in the front seat while the boys occupied the back.

"So, what was wrong earlier?" Jenna asked as we left the neighborhood.

I remembered the conversation with Markus and my smile disappeared."I...I went to visit my parents today."

"That's great!" She said.

"It was! I was right about them just being concerned for my well being. But...when I told Markus about it..." I trailed off, leaving a silence in between my words."He got mad at me."

"What?" I could hear anger with Keith's voice when he asked this."He got mad? Because you visited your family?"

"I-It's probably not that simple. I mean, I was out with a dead phone for hours. He was probably just worried cause I couldn't answer his calls." I said, trying to get him to calm down again, but it wasn't really working.

"What did he say?" Jenna inquired.

I didn't want anyone to get angry. I knew if I told them the truth, Jenna was likely to make a U turn in the middle of this street and drive right back to the penthouse to beat Markus' ass.

And with his current mood, Keith would definitely join her.

"H-He said...that...my outfit was hideous."

It wasn't technically a lie. I just left out one part.

"What?" Jenna and Keith were confused.

"That's not what he said." Pico clearly wasn't buying it. My heart sped up. I was caught in my obvious lie. The stern voice of his sent shivers down my spine.

But in a different way than before.

"What did he say to you?" Pico asked.

His deep voice actually started to scare me. I decided it was best to just rip the bandaid off and get it over with.
