I walked in class and spotted Aubrey talking to some girl. She instantly noticed me and called me over. I walked over and sat next to her took out my books and laptop. I leaned beck waiting for the class to start. She stopped talking to the girl and finally turned to me.
"Sup Hurry, you look like shit." She smiled.
"Well, I haven't slept well, because somebody decided to keep me up all night on the phone." I looked at her with a questioning look.
"Mmh, I wonder who."she looked away clearly feeling guilty. "So are you going home for the short holiday?"
"Nah, I'll go the long one. I don't feel like traveling."
"Aunty is going to kill you you know."
"I'll just call mum and tell her am a bit busy, she won't mind."
"Okay," she thought for a minute and it looked like she had some bright idea. "Since you aren't going I want to ask you a favour." She smiled nervously.
"If you're smiling like that then I don't think I want to do it." She pushed me playfully. I opened my laptop and turned it on.
"Come one, remember that time I took the fall for you and said that bra that was in your room was mine that I forgot when I slept over when it actually belonged to the girl you kept sneaking into your room." She stated.
"You're never gonna let that one go huh?" I raised my brow.
"Nope, so here's the thing, Ethan isn't going anywhere too.." I cut her off because I figured where this was going with this.
"Nope, not gonna do it."I crossed my arms over my chest and leaned back on my seat.
"Oh, come on please. I know you don't like him..."
"Exactly why I won't do it." I scoffed.
"You mean exactly why your gonna do it. Please, he's gonna be here all week and I had rather he hung out with you other than his duche friends. Come on it will be like a bonding experience." She stuck out her bottom lip trying to convince me. I didn't think it was a good idea to be remotely near the guy let alone hung out with him. I rubbed my eyes in frustration.
"Fine." I growled. I instantly regretted agreeing to the Idea. This was going to be a long week. Aubrey was busy hugging and thanking me. I just sat there mentally slapping myself. This was the last class before the holidays started. I wish I stayed home.
I woke up at around ten and decided to do some cleaning my house really needed. I was too busy because of my classes and assignments that I never really got the chance to really clean things. I did my laundry, vacuumed under my bed, dusted every inch of the place, did the dishes. I even arranged the books on my bedroom and living room shelves. Look at me being all productive.
After looking around feeling proud of my work a laid back and turned on the TV. I did realize how tired I was because my eyes started to feel heavy and I drifted off to sleep.
I slowly opened my eyes and reached for my phone and checked the time. It was 7pm and I was really hungry. I stretched and decided to make my way to the kitchen when I heard a knock on the door. I sluggishly went to open it. Suprised surprised it was none other than E.
"Don't you have friends or something?" I said with a frown when I opened the door.
"You know very well Aubrey doesn't want me to hung out with them too much. Plus I come bearing gifts."
"No, go home." I proceed to close the door in his face but he blocked it with his foot. Of course.
"Come on I have pizza, fries and some snacks and weed how could you say no to that." He smiled, I rolled my eyes feeling the hunger inside me. I stared at him for a minute thinking.
"Fine, only cause am hungry." I stepped aside and let him walk in. This was going to be a long night. He placed the items on the table and I grabbed some fries. "I was going to watch Lucifer so." I put on Netflix and selected it.
"Fine with me." He said and sat down beside me.
Several episodes later the room was filled with smoke and we were sitting on the floor with our backs testing on the couch. There was a box of half eaten pizza, some opened chips and empty containers of fries and empty beer bottles laying around. We were literally laughing at everything and nothing as we passed the blunt back and forth. Not gonna lie I would be able to sit here and watching this next to him other wise. This man got under my skin in so many ways I actually felt sorry for myself.
I don't know how we got here but we went from talking about how Maze was such a bad ass and how she easily kicked those guy's asses while drugged up to talking about Aubrey when we were kids.
"No, shit really?"E and I were laying on our stomach with my laptop in front of us looking at pictures of Aubrey and I. I put some music which provided background music.
"Yeah, you can't tell now cause they fell out but she did. She had a gap right here." I said showing my upper front teeth. I got up making my way to the bathroom. "Just click through them you'll find evidence of it."
I did my business and went to the kitchen to get some bottles of water. When I got back I found E sitting up right with his elbows on his knees. Hands were locked in front of his mouth and his left leg bounced up and down. His face looked frustrated and confused. I was confused myself, when I left he was fine then now. Why was he acting like this?
"What's wrong dude?" I said as I placed the bottles on the coffee table. He looked at me but didn't say anything only pointed at the screen. I flopped beside him and turned the laptop to face me.
My heart was caught on my thought. It became difficult to breath. My eyes moved from the photo in front of us and his face. I clenched my fists. I wasn't ready to talk about this. What would I even say? There was such an uncomfortable deafening silence that filled the room. I could hear my heart beat to hard in my chest as if it wanted to break free and bolt. I opened my mouth several times but I couldn't speak. It's like my voice bailed on me. He just sat there looking at it. It felt like I lived and died ten times before the guy actually said something. I sighed heavily, I was anticipating the next words out of his mouth.
