Breaking Promises

Chapter 18: Not Guilty

Chapter 18

"Hilary!"

I lifted my head up to look at the door.

I just stared at it like that would somehow magically cause it to open.

That would be cool...

"Hilary!!!"

I groaned, throwing back the thick blankets I had drowned myself in and stood up, walking towards the door.

I had been spending my Saturday morning huddled in my blankets, watching my favourite movies and eating Ben and Jerry's.

Yeah, I know it's sad, but what can I say. These things always help take my mind off of drama.

Speaking of which...

I hadn't seen the jerk all morning.

He was avoiding me. What a coward...

'Says you'

Let me be!

I swung open the door to find Jordan standing there, looking up at me confused as to why I was being such a bi- er, as he would say, drama queen.

"Yes?" I asked him softly.

"Someone's here to see you." He said, still staring at me like he was trying to figure me out.

Good luck with that...

"Who?" I asked him.

"I can't say, they said not to tell you." Jordan said nervously.

My curiosity grew.

"Jordan..." I said warningly.

He quickly looked around, avoiding my stare.

"Who is it?" I said slowly, but demandingly.

I knew he would crack.

But he caught me by surprise as he quickly bolted down the stairs, screaming bloody murder.

Well then...

I trudged down the stairs cautiously.

For all I knew, it could be police officers wanting to arrest me from the whole ballon incident...

I checked behind me to make sure the stairs were clear to bolt up, just in case.

I froze as I reached the last step, my eyes hardening.

"What do you want." I said coldly.

Kylee looked up at me sadly. "Hilary, I need to tell you something."

News flash! I'm not so dumb, I already know your plan!

"I don't want to hear it." I said stubbornly.

"No, you have to. Please. It's important." She pleaded.

Oh, so she did have a heart and decided to tell me the truth.

But she had still chosen money over me.

I'd never forget that.

I looked into her eyes, and almost said yes. Almost.

I sighed. "Honey, I already know about your deal with my parents." I said casually.

I watched in amusement as her eyes widened.

"Then you need to hear my explanation." She said.

"And what if I don't want to?" I said coldly.
