Unlikely Conditions

Chapter 23

Meadow tossed and turned under the covers, laying out on her stomach as she reached out in search for Keegan's comfort. She slowly pushed herself up in the bed with a yawn as her eyes dotted around the room in search for Keegan. There was a clatter of plates with a mixture of laughter coming from the kitchen as she turned her head towards the closed bedroom door. She threw her legs round so she was sitting on the edge of the bed, her eyes fixating on the spare t-shirt and sweatpants sitting on the edge of the bed. The corners of her mouth turning up in a smile as she began to get dressed into the shirt and sweatpants before slowly opening the door with a creak. She peaked round in search of Keegan before she quickly noticed Aidan leaning against the window blowing smoke outside. She stepped out the room, closing the door behind her with a soft sigh as Aidan turned his attention towards Meadow as he put out his cigarette.

"Morning." He said with a weak smile, his hair framed his face perfectly, small strands of brown hair dangling in front of his face. There was a small fading scar on his left eyebrow. Meadow backed against the door nervously as she noticed his soft green eyes dotting across her face. He leaned back against the wall, folding his arms across his chest in a soft chuckle. His black t-shirt exposing the tattooed sleeve on his right arm. Meadow smiled back at him nervously, swallowing for a moment before she answered.

"M..Morning." She stuttered as her cheeks warmed up in a soft blush, avoiding eye contact with him as he then turned his head towards Keegan approaching him with a cup of hot coffee. Keegan quickly turned her head towards Meadow with a huge smile on her face. Meadow adjusted herself from just seeing Keegan smiling back at her. Meadow approached Keegan happily as Keegan leaned in to place a soft kiss on her forehead.

"Morning princess." Keegan said happily, lightly brushing loose strands of hair from her face as Meadow followed her into the kitchen were her friends were gathered. Jade winked playfully over at Meadow which made her blush nervously, Aidan leaned back against the wall quietly sipping at his hot coffee. Meadow glanced over at two other friends she didn't recognise from yesterday.

"H..Hey guys!" Meadow stuttered nervously as she played with her hair before sitting at the counter beside Jade. Aidan nodded back at her as he finished off his hot coffee. Meadow turned her attention towards the other people in the kitchen. One was sitting on the kitchen counter typing away on his phone, there was a light scar on his upper lip, his short black hair was shaved on the sides in a slight zigzag pattern. Most of his fingers were covered in silver rings, his fingernails painted perfectly black. A silver septum ring sitting perfectly in his nose, he was dressed in black torn skinny jeans, a faded black band t-shirt with black Doc Martins and a well worn black leather jacket. The other friend was leaning back against the kitchen counter talking to Keegan happily as she held a mug in her hands. She was only a few inches shorter than Keegan, her make up was painted perfectly. Her eyeliner was drawn on symmetrically, dark red lipstick painted on her lips along with black faded eye shadow on her eyes. She had a medusa piercing above her upper lip. She was dressed in a plain black t-shirt, a short red and black checkered skirt with fishnets and black boots along with a black leather jacket that matched everyone else's.

"I can see you wondering so I might as well introduce you. The dude sitting on the counter is Zack and the pretty one talking to your girl is Harper." Jade announced with a smile as Meadow's eyes dotted back and forth between the two of them. Harper gave Meadow a quick glance with a cheeky smile on her face, her hair was dyed dark blue and tied back in two tight pigtails with bangs cut perfectly to suit her hair.

"So is this the cutie Jade was telling me about?" Harper asked happily as she leaned over the counter towards Meadow. Meadow leaned back slightly, Jade reaching her hand quickly and resting it on her lower back to stop her from falling from the stool. Meadow's warmed up in a nervous blush as Harper looked at her with a welcoming smile. Her make up was so perfect it almost looked like she got it professionally done. Keegan approached her with a slight sigh, resting her hand on Harper's shoulder as she slowly stood back up.
