C29: Resistance

CHRIS

I decided to just stay in the hotel last night and I woke up with a gross feeling. I looked around and everything seemed normal, except for the fact that my shower was running. Who...

"Oh good you're up." Rayne said walking out the bathroom

"Whoa, what the hell you doing here?" I say quickly

"Oh please, stop the theatrics Chrissy." She replies annoyed

"I'm just saying, I don't like waking up not remembering shit." I tell her

"Ooooh, look here, I like when you're like this. You're not that sweet charade you put on for that girl." She says

"I love that girl though."

"Sure, then why were you with me last night and not her? Oh, cause we were worrrking..." She says with a slick smile

"Fuck Rayne, I have so much respect for your Father but you are something else. I'm not with the shit, so you can leave." I tell her

"Okay, Chris. Remember you said we were leaving tonight. So I hope you get everything in order today."

"What, I thought you said three days?" I ask

"How do you not remember? You didn't even drink last night." She says

I just stare at her and she shakes her head.

"We were up last night writing proposals for the investors in Japan, you said we should leave tomorrow so you could meet them and get a feel for what they want before we finalize." She says and now I remember. I did say that. Impulsive, but I do remember that.

"Right. Well you gotta go, cause I gotta go. I'll see you later then." I say

"Way to kick me out, but it's okay. I get it. Your vegetab- I mean girlfriend might want to see you."

"She's not in a coma. Just get out Rayne please." I tell her

"Alright, just let me get dressed gosh." She says as she walks back in the bathroom

What is wrong with me? I couldn't have pulled no shit like this if Isabelle was okay. I need to really get it together because I'm gonna be in deep shit. If I'm leaving tonight, I have to make sure she's taken care of while I'm gone. I don't want my Moms to be exhausted so I guess, I have to see how she feels about being around for these two months.

"Alright, I'll see you tonight Chris. Don't be late." Rayne says before walking out the door

I hop in the shower because I still feel gross for having her be in here. I feel like I'm betraying Isabelle left and right, but I can't stop. I feel like without her actually by my side as her regular self, I'm the person I don't want to be. She makes me better, and I hate it cause it's gonna be hard for me pull away from her.

I'm close to Isabelle's house when I see Trey's car out front. It's extra early, he's not really a morning person so I don't know why he's here. I'm sure if something happened he would've called... But I wouldn't know that because I haven't checked my phone. I'm looking around for it and find it under my seat.

Nope. No messages from him. There are some from Moms though.

Are you sure you're not coming home tonight?
There's something I want to talk to you about.
It's alright, it's been handled. Get some sleep angel.

Ah shit, now Moms probably thinkin that I'm being pathetic. I wonder if she got hold of Trey herself, I guess he's the type of guy that'll come at any time. I hop up out of the car and up the steps to the house and walk in. It's quiet and smells of fresh and clean.
