Back To You

9- Rapunzel

Hailey's P.O.V.

"Hailey....Haaailey?" I heard someone whisper.

"Huh?" I groaned out.

"Oh good, you're awake." Jessica said, coming into my bedroom and sat down beside me on the bed.

"What's wrong?"

"Get up, we're all going into town."

"I'm extremely hung over, Jess. No, I'm good." I grabbed the blanket and pulled it over my head.

"Please?" She uncovered my face.

"I'm staying here. Go, have fun."

"But, Hails. I don't want to leave you here all by yourself."

"It's okay. I'm not going to be heartbroken. I drove fifteen hours straight yesterday, I don't want to get into another vehicle until I leave here. Go, I'm serious."

"We're going to pick up some groceries. Do you want anything special?"

"No." I reached over and grabbed a couple hundred dollars out of my duffel bag that was sitting next to my bed. "For groceries or whatever else you guys want."

"Alright. I made eggs and bacon this morning. It's in the fridge, make sure you eat when you get up. I love you."

"Love you too, Jess."

I heard her close the door again, groaning as I rolled over to see that it was only 10am. I actually slept well last night. Jess and I went to bed around 3am and I fell asleep rather quickly.

But now I don't feel well. I drank way too much and I have a splitting headache. Why in the world did she wake me up?

I lied there for a while longer before getting out of bed. I grabbed a pair of clothes and headed to the bathroom.

Shutting the bathroom door and locking it. I turned on the fan and started getting undressed. "Fuck I don't feel good." I used the bathroom and then stood up, maybe a little too fast because then it really hit me as I flushed the toilet.

I fell to my knees, hunching over the toilet, puking up everything I drank from the night before. I sat there a moment, making sure I was done before getting up. I started the shower, letting it warm up before I got in.

I stood there under the water, letting the hot water hit my face and run down my body, trying to relax my tense muscles.

After showering I got out, dressed, brushed my teeth, put very little make-up on so I didn't look tired and went back into my room.

I checked my phone for any missed calls from Justin or Amy but there weren't any. "Please be okay." I whispered to myself.

I put the phone in my back pocket of my jean shorts and went back upstairs.

I needed coffee.

Nobody was back yet, which I didn't mind. I actually liked the quiet, even if it was just for a little bit. When I was with Carlos, the gym locker room was my alone time and being with Justin and Amy for the past month, the only time to myself was when I was in the bathroom.

So this was nice.

I started the Keurig, putting a pod into the machine and a coffee cup under the spicket. Soon the delicious smell of coffee filled the room.

I was humming to a tune I had in my head, swinging my hips slightly, when I heard a noise behind me, making me tense up.

He found me.

Picking the frying pan up to my left, I turned around fast and swung as hard as I could. Hitting Carlos in the head.

Drake? I hit Drake in the head.
