YOUR P.O.V.

I wake up with a massive migraine and an empty stomach.

I turn to look at Mattia when I realize he isn't in bed. All that's there on his side of the bed are wrinkled grey sheets. And then I notice I'm wearing pajamas and not the dress I left the house in yesterday

What even happened last night

I get out of bed holding onto the temples of my forehead as I walk towards the door. But as I open it I can hear someone talking. But the words are muffled.

So I turn the knob slowly and peer my head out to see it's Mattia and he's on the phone. Dressed in his black jeans from the night before , he holds his phone in one hand and plays with his hair in the other.

He sounds mad but his voice isn't loud. The rest of the people in the house are still asleep. "I swear to god imma fuck you up when I see you-" and then he sees me and looks down at his phone before hesitating and hanging up the call.

"Morning baby" he says slowly

I smile weakly as I approach him. And the closer I get to him, the easier is it to see how upset he is; for whatever reason that is.

His neck has a vein popping out on the side and his jaw's clenched. But it's only the morning— why is he mad?

"What happened?" I ask him drowsily as a sharp pain hits my head. I bite my lip thinking it'll numb the migraine but it doesn't.

He shakes his head and puts his phone in his pocket. "Nothings wrong" he says.

That's a lie.

"Who were you yelling at on the phone?" I ask as I take his tense hand; massaging it slowly

"Uhm just Robert" he says

I scoff. "What did he do?"

"Nothing I was just joking around" he says, stuttering and unsure.

Trying not to doubt him, I reply with "okay". If there's someone he's mad at i don't want him to feel forced into telling me about it. Some things don't have to be shared

Another sharp pain goes off in my head and I grab my temple.

"What happened?" he asks me

"Migraine. I think I'm gonna go get ibuprofen from the pharmacy down the block" I tell him

"Now?" He asks me

I nod. "Yeah I woke up with the worst pain ever. What even happened yesterday?"

He laughs

"Whattt?" I say grabbing onto his shirt playfully

He continues laughing and shakes his head. "I'll tell you about it when you come back" he says kissing me on the cheek

As I make my way inside the pharmacy , the cold air of the air conditioner fills the room and makes goosebumps appear on my skin. But I walk all the way to the back of the store towards the medication area where I look down at the options of pain killers and their prices

"Dawn?" someone calls out for me; slurring my name. I look up and it's Wes. He's wearing a black Nike Tracksuit and his eyes are red and he looks tired.

"Yes?" I say as he approaches me. I take a step back and he smirks

"What's up?" He asks

"Did you follow me here?" I say as I grab a bottle of ibuprofen and clutch it in my hands
