Bound To Falling In Love // Sadie Sink

6. Revealed

"Ready!" She heard Caleb's voice echo from her bathroom. Her eyes were shut closed, in an attempt to force and drown out her own thoughts away from her head. But her lips curled up in a smile when she envisioned herself relaxing in a hot tub of water.

"Coming!" She yelled, opening her eyes and standing up with a smile. That's when she saw him close the bathroom door and give her a thumbs up with a grin.

"Are you gonna stay?" She questioned, taking two towels with herself and making her way to the bathroom. A familiar, warm steam escaped once she opened the door and she couldn't help the comfort that it brought with itself.

"I-I mean, if you want to?" He raised his brows, a hint of nervousness washing over him and quickly disappearing after she nodded.

The blonde stepped into the bathroom, carefully closing the door behind her. She let out a sigh, looking at herself in the fogged mirror. With one hand she cleaned a patch of the hanged mirror so she can actually take a good look at her own features. The make-up was just as messy as it was the last time she saw it. Thankfully, all her make-up products were there, including the ones dedicated to removing and cleaning her skin.

Carefully, she cleaned the excess make-up and once it was all gone she couldn't help but feel relief. Yes, her eyes looked equally as red as before, but she felt better.

Now, she looked down at her dress. It was as beautiful as before, if we don't count the tear stains and the mascara spots. She carefully unzipped it, letting it fall on the ground and stepping out of it carefully. Bella didn't bother to fold it or anything, she just pushed it aside, adding her underwear to the pile and carefully stepping inside the warm water.

A delighted sigh escaped her lips, and she closed her eyes shut while leaning back in the water. Her muscles relaxed and she felt herself barely being able to keep her head under the water.

The blonde girl had absolutely no idea how long she stood in the water. She could only hum in delight every so often, but once she heard arguing on the other side of the door, she knew she had to quicken her pace.

A knock on the door made Caleb stood up from Annabelle's couch. He made careful steps towards the door, unsure if he should be the one to answer it.

"Who is it?" He questioned loudly, waiting for a response. An immediate one was given to him, and he immediately recognised the voice.

"Caleb?" Sadie yelled, banging the door once again, "Open the door!"

"Sades?" He opened the door slowly, revealing a fuming Redhead. Her fist were clenched so tightly he was able to see the white around her fingers and her blue eyes were creating a new kind of fear within him. "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong!?," She stepped inside, pushing him back into the room and closing the door with such force that Gaten could hear it all the way from 3 floors up. Caleb couldn't help but forcefully gulp down, unaware of what he could have possibly done for his co-star to do that. "You tell me what is fucking wrong!" she held her phone up in the air, pushing it into his chest and gesturing for him to look at it.

He did as commanded, looking at the pictures on her phone. He could see himself and Annabelle together, her obviously crying and then both of them running to his car. 'Caleb McLaughlin and Annabelle Clarke Breakup (SECRET RELATIONSHIP REVEALED!!!)' he read the bolded title. His own ears started heating up at the thought that those are the rumours that were being spread after his friend broke down crying in his arms.

"Sades, look, this isn't what happened." He handed her back the phone and couldn't blame her when she made a confused grimace, unsure if she should believe him.
