Always you.

Chapter Six.

I slowly open my eyes letting them adjust to the morning light attempting to make its presence known through the cracks of the blinds covering the rather large window opposite my bed. As my eyes adjust, I turn my attention to the left where im met with a pair of small feet right in my face.

"Gross, get your feet out of my face Lyss." I whisper to myself as I grab her ankles to move her feet. Im not even going to question how or why she ended up at the bottom of my bed. Alyssa moves her feet out of my grip and just groans in response as she grabs the cover to hide her head and falls back into a deep sleep. I get up from the bed forgetting about the pain I caused last night.

"Ouch! Motherfucker!" I whisper shout to myself as I gently place a hand over the left side of my body. I make my way into the bathroom to do my buisness before heading downstairs. As I was my hands I notice the dried blood on them not knowing if its mine or that douchebag from last night. Im pretty good with hangovers so my heads not actually hurting too bad, atleast somewhere isn't causing me pain right now. I dry off my hands noticing the bruising starting to cover where the blood once was. I shake my head and make my way over to my closet and grab some shorts and a T-shirt and then my phone before heading downstairs. Im guessing the dogs are in with Lizzie and Scar as they are nowhere to be seen. I slowly make my way to the fridge to grab some milk before making myself a tea. I love tea but everytime I drink it I start to miss being back home. In London it makes me realise how much I miss mum, we don't speak as often as I would like anymore,it is kind of sad to be honest.

I finish making my tea and make my way into the living room and sit down on the sofa. I set the cup of tea down on the table infront of my sofa and turn on my phone to see if there are any new messages. To my suprise Flo messaged me.

I reply and put my phone onto the table and turn on the tv. I scroll through untill I see some english football, I always forget how much I used to love watching it. I turn it on and instantly become glued to the screen. Im that invested I don't notice the sound of someone walking down the stairs.

"Oh come on!! Ref that was a foul!!! What!!! No??? Oh you bastard!!!" I say aggresively towards the TV.

"Didn't take you for a football fan Y/L/N." The raspy voice spoke making me almost shit myself. Oh fuck. Its scarlett. Okay Y/N be cool.

"Goodmorning too you to Scarlett." I say with a slightly chuckle. "I used to love playing as a kid I also used to watch alot of it on Tv too."

"Sorry, goodmorning." She giggles. That shits adorable. "Thats pretty cute." She says as she walks closer to the sofa im sitting on so we are finally face to face. She looks so good in my clothes holy fuck. Shes looking at me with a very concerned look on her face right now?? "Oh my god Y/N you're all bruised and battered!! Im so sorry!" She apologises. If im being totally honest, apart from the pain in my side, I totally forgot about the other injuries to my face.

"Woah hey dont apologise, I would rather me look like this than knowing that scumbag took advantage of you." I say standing up and giving her a hug. I have no idea why im hugging her but apparently its happening. Im guessing she doesn't mind it though?? Because shes LITERALLY HUGGING ME BACK OH MY FUCK FUCKING JESUS LORD. okay no this is cool its just a hug... Her hands are wrapped around my neck as mine lay lazily just above her waist. She mumbles something into my neck but I can't quite work out what shes saying. "What was that?" I ask curiously.

"I said im still really sorry." She replies as she pulls away from the hug. "I wanna help you in anyway I can so please just let me okay?"

"Like I've already said no need to apologise. You could be an absoloute sweetheart and grab me some painkillers though if you'd like? There in the top cupboard" I smugly add smiling at her. Hold on wait are her cheeks going red? Is she blushing? I only asked her painkillers? Nahhh its just hot in here,right? RIGHT?

Scarlett looks down at the ground before clearing her throat and replying. "Ofcourse i'll be back in a moment." She quickly makes her way to the kitchen.

I sit back down on the sofa waiting for her return, thankfully she comes back quickly with a coffee shes made for herself and two small pills. I thank her and grab my tea to swallow the pills with. She remains standing on the same spot for a while so I pat the empty seat next to me and she quickly sits down. As she gets comfortable I notice how close we are. I can feel my cheeks heat up because of it but I can take in all her features here. For some reason I feel so relaxed around her?? I've only properly known her for a day?? I don't know I probably just get too attached to people to quick. She ends up looking right back at me which causes me to look away and back at the Tv hoping she doesn't notice. As im watching the Tv I look at her from the corner of my eye and now she is intensely staring at me like I was moments before. Oh my god what if there is something on my face. Well duh there is. Bruises. But like other shit like idk dirt??? Oh god shes going to think im homeless or something!! Oh wait no she can't? We are literally in my house right now?? Jesus christ just shut up Y/N.

"What are ya thinking about??" She softly asks snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Me?" I say pointing to myself. Ofcourse you Y/N you fucking idiot there is no one else down here Alyssa and Lizzie are still asleep. Atleast I think they are? I look behind me quickly before answering Scarlett again. "Im uhm just uhm thinking about... what to have for dinner! Yeah im starving heh." Nice one Y/N you complete utter fool. I mentally slap myself.

"Dinner?? Its 9:30 in the morning? Have you even had breakfast??" She asks laughing slightly. Fuck sake Y/N.

"Well you see dinner is my favourite meal of the day you always gotta prepare for it!" I awkwardly reply whilst scratching the back of my neck.Yup nice one.

"So you're a good cook?" Scarlett innocently asks. I nod my head in return. "Prove it. We are making pancakes right now!!" She excitedly says as she gets up. "Ooh maybe some painkillers first this headache is going to be the death of me." She adds speaking a little more quieter making me giggle.

"Pancake war it is! Game on, green eyes." I playfully reply as I attempt to run to the kitchen but my ribs say no.

And thats how we spent our morning. Lizzie and Alyssa didn't get up untill about 1pm so Scarlett and I spent all morning together. It was nice, it felt so easy?? Falling into conversation? Easy. Making her laugh? Easy. Her making me laugh? Easy. Everything was easy. I felt free. Once the other two lazy shits finally woke up they came downststairs to find Scarlett covered in pancake mix and me hopping away from her the best I could. When I noticed them I could see them both looking at eachother and smirking mischievously but I was having to much fun with Scarlett to question it. Eventually we all say down to eat together and see who won the little cook off, fair to say I won. Scarlett wasn't happy so she stole my pancake and refused to compliment my amazing chef skills. We then spent the day watching movies. High school musical first one. Alyssas choice. And as the night dragged its way in Lizzie and Scarlett decided to say their goodbyes and head home BUT you will never guess what. Scarlett gave me her number HER GOD DAMN NUMBER!!! After they left I couldn't stop smiling to myself. Alyssa was obviously teasing me about it before we head back to the sofa and carried on watching Movies we are now watching Toy Story because Toy story is elite. We spent our day doing nothing. I didn't know if I should message Scar or not so I just left it for now hoping she would text me first...
