My eyes fluttered open as the sun beamed through the curtains. I pulled my eyebrows together tightly and groaned, slapping my hand over my eyes.
"I fucking hate mornings" I muttered forcing myself out of bed.
"Yeah they hate you too" jake, said as he stood in the doorway.
"Haha" I said sarcastically, running my hand through my hair, pushing past him as I left the room.
"Your Mom's already left for work" he said following me down the stairs.
"Good" I said walking into the kitchen "you shouldn't let her freeload off you guys, you know, she treats this place like a fucking hotel" I added as we turned the corner.
"Bitchy" he muttered sitting at the kitchen island.
"Do you want something?" I asked raising my eyebrow, noticing that he was staring.
"Apparently your dad's got a meeting tonight, at the warehouse..." he started
"I'm not going" I snapped
"Lauren...." he sighed, exasperation clear in his voice.
"I'm not going!" I repeated firmly
"It's important. They're trying to take down Jason Mccann, You have to." He argued
"Jake. I've got no beef with Mccann, dad does. I've never even met the guy" I started, beginning to make a cup of coffee. "And quite frankly I couldn't care less if dad dropped dead. Even that would be to good for him" I spat, running my hand through my hair
"Bit harsh" he muttered
"You think that's harsh, I haven't even got started" I snapped, pushing past him
"I wasn't done Talking!" Jake yelled
"Yeah, well I was done listening!" I called over my shoulder as I walked out of the kitchen.
"Lauren!" He said, forcing me to face him.
"What!?" I snapped, running my hand through my hair
"You can talk to me you know?" He said softly.
"Yeah...." I said crossing my arms
"And that I love you" he said with a slight smile
"Well everyone loves me" I said smiling "apart from darling ma and pa.....they don't love me so much" I said the smile washing off my face
"That's not true" he said crossing his arms.
"It is" I said matter-of-factly, turning on my heel and walking up the stairs.
"Laurs!" He called tiredly
"Leave it, jake" I snapped, turning the corner.
