Chapter Three

..:Rachel:..

I pushed the blankets away and crawled out of bed disgusted by Aaron sprawled out, hogging most of the covers. I couldn’t help but laugh at the expression he had when he slept. It was somewhere between a smirk and a frown but his mouth was hanging open. It was hilarious, yet very yummy at the same time. Remembering yesterday and him throwing the pillow at my face, I grabbed a pillow off the floor and threw it towards him with as much force as I could muster.

“What the—” he stammered as he shot up, the blankets falling off his torso exposing his chest.

Morning sunshine,” I chuckle skipping off, grabbing my toothbrush out of my backpack and walking to the bathroom. I didn't really want to use the bathroom because it was disgusting, but I had no other option at the moment. We were on the run away from our old lives. We needed a fresh start somewhere we could live on our own, happy and together. My heart leapt at the thought of living together, a happy little family. Of course, that couldn't happen because Aaron didn't think of me the way I thought of him.

“It’s not even sunny outside yet,” he grumbled looking over at the clock. I peeked out of the door with my toothbrush still in my mouth to see what he was complaining about. I couldn't help that I wanted to get out of this place as early as I could. As soon as I saw the pillow being flung back towards me, I jumped out of the way as it smashed into a crappy picture hanging on the wall.

“Oops, oh well. It actually looks better than that ugly ass picture,” I said going back to the bathroom to finish getting ready. My blonde hair was all over the place as I desperately tried to flatten the loose curls that fell just past my shoulders. It was no use. My bed head was out of control and we didn’t have enough time for us to both get ready.

My heart went out to Mrs. Jameson for putting up with Aaron and I for so long, but I had no remorse for leaving the way we did. I couldn't stand it if I were to be separated from Aaron. My whole life, he was there. He was my rock.

“Earth to Rachel,” Aaron shoved me against the bathroom vanity. I had been running the toothbrush over my teeth in small circles for more than two minutes. I had been too lost in my day dream to realize he was peeing while I was standing right next to him!

“Gah, could you be any grosser?” I complained putting my hand up to shield my delicate eyes from his immaturity.

“Oh, you know you love me,” he taunted as he walked out of the bathroom, breathing lightly against the back of my neck, causing goose bumps to rise all over my skin.

“As if,” I scoffed dropping the toothbrush from my hand. I focused on slowing the beating of my heart while he packed the rest of our stuff back into the backpacks. I couldn't help but drool at the way he flaunted his body. I caught myself staring as he pulled his shirt over his head. It wasn't like I hadn't seen him almost naked, he sure had seen me full out nude, but I couldn't help but stop and stare. Get it together Rachel! I chided myself.

I had to slam the door close in order to finish getting ready. I heard him say some comment about me not being able to focus when he was in the room. I rolled my eyes and started picking up our belongings from the bathroom.

One of the perks of staying in a hotel was the free continental breakfast. I dug into my food. Surprisingly, it was amazing. The bacon was cooked just right and Aaron had made me an omelet with ham and cheese in it. I must say, I was impressed. He made seemingly good food.

We gave the room key back to the attendant at the desk and left, our stomachs as full as we could get them. We didn't know when our next meal would be so we might as well of made use of the free food. My mind soon started to drift to where we would go, what we would do to survive, how would we afford to sleep and eat. I didn't want to be homeless forever.
