Back To You

19- Numbers

Hailey's P.O.V.

I was staring at the wall, Drake's arm was draped over my stomach as I snuggled into his chest.

I was embarrassed by how I acted last night and I was having a hard time falling back to sleep because that's all I kept thinking about. When those dishes fell, memories of the last safe house I was in, flooded my mind.

I knew Carlos didn't know where I was but it brought me back to a day that got a lot of people killed and the day I thought I was going to die.

"Why are you up?" Drake whispered in my ear before kissing my cheek.

"I just woke up. Hi." I smiled, turning towards him so I could kiss his lips.

"Did you have another bad dream?"

"Yeah, I'm alright though." I turned back as he nuzzled into the back of my neck. I closed my eyes as he held me tight and I started drifting back to sleep.

*******
A few hours later I got up and showered. I was brushing my teeth when there was a knock on the bathroom door.

I opened it up and started smiling, "Morning sleepy head." I mumbled with a mouth full of toothpaste.

Drake laughed and stepped inside, kissing my cheek. "Why didn't you wake me?"

I spit my toothpaste out and rinsed my mouth before turning back towards Drake. "You were sleeping, why would I wake you?"

He pulled me in, "I would have liked to shower with you though."

"Sorry. We can shower together tomorrow, promise."

"Yes and everyday after until you leave."

I nodded sadly, "Sounds good. Hurry, I'll wait and go upstairs with you."

I gave him a quick kiss, left the bathroom and went back into my bedroom.

I had four more days left and I haven't turned my phone on since I shut it off after I hung up on Justin. I can just imagine how mad that man is at me.

Turning on my phone, I had a lot of texts from both Amy and Justin telling me… I mean demanding me to call them back.

"Crap."

Hanging up on Justin was dumb but I knew he wouldn't let me stay here. I shouldn't have, I knew this because I was being selfish.

I hit Justin's number and waited for him to answer.

Nothing.

I tried Amy next but it went straight to her voicemail...

'Wait for instructions.'

That was all her voicemail said before the call completely ended.

"Shit." That can't be good.

"You okay?" Drake asked, coming into the bedroom.

"Yeah." I whispered out.

I was nervous again, praying I didn't fuck this whole thing up. I should have listened and left like Justin told me to.

He gently grabbed a hold of my hands and looked me in the eyes. "Hey? What's wrong? Did Carlos call you?"

"What? No… he doesn't have this number. I'm sorry, my friends didn't answer when I called them. They're helping me get things set up so I can make the move to Michigan. I was just hoping to hear how everything was coming along."

"Oh."

I placed the phone in my back pocket and wrapped my arms around his waist, "I'm hungry, should we go up and eat?"
