CHAPTER 21
I wake up to an empty bed. I could say i'm dissapointed, but I won't. I take a few minutes to enjoy having a bed to myself.
Crash!
I sit up, looking over at my closed door. What the helicopter was that?
Crash!
This time I get up and creep towards the door, easing it open gently. I look down the hallway, seeing nothing out of order I walk into the living room. I sweep my eyes across everything and again I see nothing. I turn back around and smack into something hard, I jump back only to realise it's Everett.
"Omigosh!" I gasp, clutching my chest. "You scared me half to death."
"That's not what girls usually say to me the next morning." He chuckles, walking past me into the kitchen. He was now dressed in black jeans and a dark blue shirt.
"Did you hear the loud crashes?" I ask, walking over to him.
"Yeah, that was me. I dropped something."
"Twice?" I raise my eyebrows at him, not fully believing his story.
"What? Blow up dolls can be slippery." He says, his face completely serious which made it that much more funny.
"And heavy?" I ask, remembering how loud the noises were.
"They are when someone's on top of them." His lips turn up at the corners, chuckling to himself.
"You're disgusting."
"You suggested I buy one." He argues, making himself a coffee. "Do you want one?"
"Yes please." I smile, leaning across the counter.
"You move alot in your sleep." He comments, handing me my cup of coffee.
"Sorry." I mumble, sipping at the warm liquid. He just shrugs and pours himself a drink.
"What are you doing today?" He asks before taking a drink of his coffee.
"I don't know." I admit. Seeing as Bree blew me off for Asher I didn't really have any plans. "Maybe i'll watch a movie or something and go see Nat."
"I can drop you off when I go to the office." He says, walking past me to sit on the couch. I down the rest of my coffee and make my way into my room, shutting the door behind me. I throw off my pyjamas and replace them with jeans and a hooded jumper. I brush my hair and leave it out, deciding to not wear makeup seeing as I was just staying home most of the day anyway. I walk over to the dresser and pick up my phone, noticing I have a missed call from my mum. I hit redial and wait for her to answer.
"Hello?"
"Mum! Hey how are you?" I ask, fiddling with my makeup on my dresser.
"Hello honey, i'm a bit sick actually." She says, coughing loudly.
"Are you okay? Do you need a doctor?" I ask, panic clear in my tone.
"No, i'm fine it's just a cold."
"If you get any worse promise me you will see a doctor." I say, making her promise me.
"I promise!" She snaps, sick of my worrying. "How's Bree?"
"Bree is fine, we went shopping yesterday." I block out everything that happened with Tristan.
"That's great baby. Maybe I can come over and see you soon, or you can come back home." I smile, she misses me!
"I love and miss you." I say, waiting for her reply.
"I love you too honey. Talk to me soon okay?"
