-Next morning-

                         9 December, 9:33 AM.
Odette POV:

Sun highlighting my face. The morning. Something that always made me puke. The thought of just getting out of bed made me cry in frustration and laziness.

"Another wonderful day" I said to myself in a sarcastic tone.

I finally managed to get up from the couch and make my way to the kitchen. "Guess Theodore didn't wake up" I whispered while starting to make some coffee. I looked out the window thinking about last night, my body starting to tense up.

I didn't know if I was mad at myself or him. Maybe I should apologize. Or maybe I should just let it go? God.... It's too early in the morning for this.

I took a sip of my coffee, spacing out while doing so. "Good morning" I jumped a bit and turned my gaze in the direction of the voice. "Oh it's you" I stated seeing Theodore rubbing his eyes. "Morning" I said turning my back to him once again continuing to drink my coffee. "Hey look... I'm sorry for how I acted last night" I coughed a bit still having my back facing Theodore. "Let's just forget what happened last night, we were both tired" I said wanting to close the subject. We stayed in silence for a bit before Theodore spoke "If that's what you want, I won't pressure you any longer" he confessed.

I simply nodded my head in silence. I quickly finished my coffee and made my way back into my room. I closed the door and jumped onto my bed.

Not long after that I heard knocking at my door. I groaned in frustration and lazily opened the door. "Do you need something?" I asked, flopping once again onto my bed. "Are you still mad at me?" "I'm not" I murmured. "Like I believe you" "Then you're free to go" "I said I'm sorry" "And I said that I'm not mad" "And I don't believe you" "Okay, I don't care". I heard a disappointed sigh coming before feeling a figure sitting on my bed.

I looked in his direction, finally getting a good look at him. He had dark eye bags, indicating that he didn't sleep that much, his hair was messy, like his clothes. Damn, he looks like a total mess.

"You look like shit" I blurted out without thinking. "Thanks" Theodore said facing me. "Your welcome" I replied. We kept eye contact for a while.

"I guess I can accept your apology" I said slightly smiling. He just smiled and nodded. "But I still hate you, so don't take it the wrong way. I'm mostly doing this for Aria's sake" I truthfully said. "I don't understand why do you hate me" "Don't milk it Theodore. You know what you did" I objected slightly glaring at him. He just sighed and looked down. "Of course" He mumbled and got up, making his way towards the exit. "I'll see you later" Theodore added before closing the door, leaving me sitting alone on the bed.

After some time my phone rang. I took a quick look to see the caller's ID. "Can we talk for a bit?" "Yeah sure, what's up?" "How do you calm down Victoria" I gasped hearing Aaron's words.

"First how did you even make Victoria mad and two what the actual fuck" I replied, quickly adjusting my position, so I sit more comfortable. "Funny story actually...she's at my place and she got mad over fucking clothes" I slightly chuckled, trying to contain my laughter. "Sounds like her" "Yeah yeah, can you please help me?" "Make some tea and let her vent to you a bit" "Okay so tea and hearing her complaint will calm her down?" "100% yes" "Well.... It's worth a try, thanks Odette" "Of course, good luck by the way" I said laughing a bit "Yeah, thanks, talk to you later" "See ya" I said before closing the call.

Aaron and Victoria eh? That's new. I chuckled to my thoughts and got up from my bed. Walking out of my bedroom and making my way into the living room, I noticed a note on top of the coffee table. I picked it and read it to myself.

"My father called me, I'll see you later. Thanks for understanding -Theodore".

I didn't even hear the front door, guess I was too focused on what was Aaron saying. I sat on the sofa and took my phone out. Scrolling my boredom away.
