Chapter 37
Saturday October 21st
Mallory's POV

"Alright, breakfast is served" Eli chuckled.

It was a slower morning, as I thankfully got to go into the hospital a few hours later than we typically do. I was grateful to sleep in the next bit, and take a shower to freshen up, before having to be on my feet all day long. Plus, it gave me time to really enjoy the breakfast Eli had cheffed up for us rather than shoving it down my throat.

"Thank you Eli" I smiled, sitting down at the counter. The smell of waffles filled my nostrils, and I was ecstatic. It was honestly making me quite sad to get back to living in my car if I had to give up Eli's homemade breakfasts every day.

"Thanks Li" Veronica kissed his cheek. "You're the best"

"I know" Eli shrugged and joined us to eat. "And after this, we can go pick up your car Mal from the autoshop"

"I can just walk" I shrugged. Although it was later than usual, it was still early on a Saturday morning and I didn't want to impose on their time off from work. The two of them work hard during the week and shouldn't have to leave just for me. They do enough for me as it is. They do enough that I could never repay them for.

"Oh Mals don't be silly" Veronica waved me off. "We'll get your car back, and then we're going to visit my mom when you head to work. It's fine, promise"

"Okay fine" I agreed knowing they wouldn't give up, because they never do. I love them for it, but I truly hated feeling so reliant on them. It's why I refused so heavily on not moving in with them, at least for now. I still shifted in my seat, feeling the fabric of my clothes moving.

"Oh my god Mallory what is that?!" Veronica's eyes went wide and she shrieked. I jumped up from the table, fearing for my life that there was a spider or cockroach, or some sort of bug with too many legs that could climb all over my skin, and screamed instinctively.

I heard Eli's hand slap the table, hopefully killing whatever was about to attack me.

"Not that! Eli you just killed a piece of fuzz!" Veronica yelled. "Mallory!"

"What?!" I stopped being all flustered and stared at her, wondering what the hell she was freaking out about if the fuzz wasn't mistaken for a bug.

"What happened to your neck? Is that a bruise?" I sat back down in my chair, Veronica leaning halfway out of hers to pull on my shirt out of concern. It didn't hit me until she was staring at the finally fading hickey on my collarbone what she was looking at. I honestly forgot that it was even there, ironic considering he marked it again the other day we ended things. "Oh, sorry, sorry"

"It's okay" I told her quickly, not wanting her to feel bad for being concerned. I didn't care that she practically just gave me a heart attack to point out a mark on my skin.

"Who did that Mal?!" Veronica shrieked enthusiastically. Her hands clapped together and she looked at me with an eager expression to hear the details.

"Well uhm, you see guys" I chuckled awkwardly. It's not that I didn't want to tell them about Harry, because I did, I just didn't know when the timing would be right. It just never felt like the time to blurt it out that I was sleeping with my boss subsequent times.

"Oh my god tell me everything?!" Veronica asked.

"I might have slept with Harry again. And by again I don't just mean one more time. I mean three more times" I spit my words out, speaking so fast that it took them a second to comprehend what I just said. After the pause of conversation, Veronica's eyes nearly shot out of her head in shock.
