Happily Never After || Sequel to Our Differences (ON HOLD)

Chapter Twelve ~ Hurt Feelings

"Jon. Jon, wake up." I say, shaking his arm.

It was 9:34 at night, and I was in Jon's bed. All the memories of what happened earlier had been taking over my mind.

I continue to shake Jon's arm until he finally wakes up. I get out of the bed and begin to put my clothing back on.

"Kathryn?" I hear Jon ask in his morning voice.

"Yeah?"

"Why are you leaving?"

I sigh. "I gotta get back to my room. she April is probably wondering where I am." I respond.

I hear him yawn, then speak, "Just stay."

"I can't stay, Jon." I tell him, putting my shoes on. "I gotta go."

I grab my phone and walk out of his room, shutting the door behind me. I walk down the hall until I find my room.

I realize that I don't have a key to unlock the door, so I knock, praying that someone will answer.

Not even five seconds later, the door opens to a worried April. "Where have you been?!" She asks, dragging me into the room. She sits me down on the couch and closes the door.

Here we go.

"Are you going to answer me?" She asks.

God, what lie should I use?

Think of something, Kathryn. Come on.

"Um, I was with Nick, of course." I say, pursing my lips and giving her a slight nod.

"Mmm, because I called Nick and asked if you were with him. You wanna know what he said?" She asked, getting angrier by the second.

"Not really." I say.

I'm busted.

"He said he didn't have a clue on where you were!" She yells.

I stand up off the couch. "Calm down, April. People are sleeping. Someone's gonna call the cops or something." I tell her.

"I don't care, Kathryn. What I want to know is where you were for, like, the past five hours!"

I sigh and run a hand through my hair.

I just can't tell her what happened between Jon and I. I can't. She'll be so angry. She would never forgive me if I told her that Jon and I slept together. But it was a mistake, right? I mean, I was just so stressed out.

But then, a part of me was happy that I was with Jon.

"Hello?!" I hear the witch yell with her hands waving in my face. I push them away.

"So where the hell were you?!"

At this point, I'm annoyed. All I want to do is yell right back at her and tell her to leave me alone.

And so I do.

"April, you don't need to know where I was! I have a life of my own! I don't need you to try and be my mother all the damn time! It's my life! Not yours!" I yell at her. My heart is beating rapidly and my hands keep shaking.

But it felt good to let that out.

I mean, it shut April up.

It also made tears roll down her face.

And it also made me leave the room without turning back.

I knew where I wanted to go.

Heading down to the room I wanted, I thought about turning back and apologizing to April. Then I thought back about how angry she made me. But I left her there all by herself. I left her there when she was crying. I hurt her pretty bad.

But that wasn't my intention. I didn't want to hurt April nor did I want to make her cry.

Part of me was telling me to go back and apologize.

The other part of was telling me to keep pushing forward.

So I just kept pushing forward.

I made it all the way to the room I was looking for, and I stopped in front of the door.

I knocked, and I kept knocking until the door was opened.

Jon rubbed his eyes, and when he realized it was me, he quickly allowed me to come into the room.

"Why are you here?" Jon asks me as we sit on his bed. I give him a look.

"I want you here!" Jon says, raising his hands up in the air. "I just want to know why you came back."

I sigh. "April kept bothering me when I came back to our room. She kept asking me about where I was and I got really mad. I yelled at her and she started to cry a little bit." I tell him. "And, um, I kinda just left her there." I say. It sounded more like a question than a statement.

Now it's Jon's turn to sigh. "You're turning into me, Kathryn, and it's not good."

We sit there in silence for a few seconds.

Jon's hand entwines with mine. "It'll be okay. Talk to her tomorrow at work." He says. I smile at him, and he returns the favor.

"Can I stay here tonight?" I ask.

"Of course."

Short chapter, I know.
I'm sorry :(
I hope to update tomorrow!!!

Story time:
I'm really sick right now so at school I went to the nurse and they called my parents to pick me up but no one could pick me up. So my grandparents own a restaurant right down the road form my school and I needed permission from the principle to let me walk down to my grandparents restaurant. Now the principle at my school is cute and so he comes into the nurse's room and he's like, "How about I give you a ride? I don't want you walking down there by yourself." so he gives me a ride in his nice black truck and I found out he listens to Pearl Jam and he's a Civil War geek (lol) he wanted me to keep that a secret i think. But he was really funny and he made me laugh and he got food from my grandparents restaurant. HAHA. Plus his truck is really clean inside and out.

Hope you guys enjoy this chapter LOLOLOLOLOL (idek)
