Taken

[20] Plan In Motion

Justine
Moving Day...

"Justineee." I hear Stokeley's voice calling my name, but I shoo him away. I'm too tired to move and too comfortable. He shakes me softly.

"Five more minutes... please?" I groan out sleepily. I lift my head up weakly as Stokeley starts tapping me.

The least he can do is let me sleep, though he doesn't know what happened today. Was it today? Or was it yesterday?

"Wait, what day is it?" I struggle to keep my head up, waiting for his response. He drags a hand through his hair.

"It's Sunday." His mouth sets in a hard line and I widen my eyes, blinking them rapidly.

Whoa! Since when did Saturday end? There's no way in hell I slept for 6+ hours straight.

Well, obviously there's a way, but I still refuse to believe it.

"W-What? Already!? But I-" I look down at the pillow underneath me and frown. Stokeley nods softly and sits on the edge of the bed.

"Yeah, soon right? I can't believe it either. I still can't believe X is making you go. I thought this was just a scare test, you know? Pretend to give you away to scare you, but I guess not." He furrows his brows and scratch his head. I freeze at the mention of X's name and all the flashbacks from yesterday evening come floating back in my mind.

Oh shit, I'm not a virgin anymore. That's a lot to sink in.

But won't Theo and Zayn not want me anymore? Or is X not planning on telling them?

Whatever the reason, I'll just keep quiet like I usually do.

I manage to sit up and wince quietly during the process. I have an aching pain, but it's a good pain. I ruffle out my hair a it and see that Stokeley's alarm clock reads 9:37am.

"Why is it so early?" I look over at Stokeley and he shrugs.

"Thought you'd want to do something or mentally prepare yourself before you leave." He looks at me with gloomy eyes, a hint of sadness in them. I reach over and throw my arms around his neck, engulfing him in a hug.

"You are so sweet, you know? You're like the big brother I never had." I peck his cheek before pulling back. He gives me a goofy smile and I giggle.

"Thanks Justine, I really wish X wasn't being a dumbass and making you go." He rolls his eyes in annoyance and I frown.

"Yeah whatever, he'll miss me." I smile to myself, remembering my eureka moment.

That X really likes it maybe even loves me whether he admits it or not.

"Yeah, he might." We laugh comfortably together and it soon dies down.

I try not to dwell on the thought of leaving, but it's not easy.

"Come on, lets go wake up Ool and Robb and make you a big ass going away breakfast!" He jumps up from the bed grabbing my hands, yanking me up from the bed and I land on my feet, instantly feeling the ache between my legs. I hiss out loudly and Stokeley frown deeply at me.

"Still sore?" I blush furiously and then it dawns on me.

Girl, he's not talking about you and X! Save yourself!

"Yeah... Isaiah is an asshole." I look away from his face, not wanting to give myself away and he leads me to the door.

"Got that right." He pulls me out into the hall and knocks on Robb's door while on knock on Ool's. They both eagerly for the food part and we all bound down the stairs and to the kitchen. I watch them hastily start pulling things down from the cabinets and Robb nudges me.
