The stream of water ran down my back, tingling. I washed my hair using the shampoo and cleansed my body with the shower gel. I hadn't washed for two days, for me that was a long time.
"Are you ok in there?" Jamie shouted from outside.
"Um, yeah, why?"
He opened the door and I sat down on my knees so he couldn't see me.
"What do you think you are doing you?" I said, raising my voice.
"Bringing you a towel!"
"There were plenty when I came in!"
"Oh yeah, sorry" He said, muffling something as he walked out, closing the door slowly behind him.
I stopped the shower and grabbed a towel, wrapping it round my chest. The house was extremely modern and bigger than you would perceive it to be from outside. I walked along the long landing to Amy's bedroom. She was sat on her bed, removing her makeup.
"Amy I really need to tell you something!"
"What is it love?" She replied.
"It's Jamie. There's something weird about him!"
"How do you mean?"
"When I was in the shower a few minutes ago he came in and brought a towel in without asking. There were plenty of towels in there but yet he claimed he only just saw them!"
"Jess, the shower is blacked out, he wouldn't have been able to see you!"
"You're making excuses for him because you know he's weird!"
"I'm not!"
"You know what I'm just going to leave. I'm in a house with a woman that I met less than 10 hours ago with her creepy boyfriend and to be honest I don't feel safe or happy!"
"Jessica, I'm your sister!"
"No you are not, she isn't alive!"
"Jess, you had two sisters!"
"This isn't even funny!" I said grabbing my clothes, slipping on the top and pants.
"Wait!"
"No, I won't, just leave me alone and go away!"
"Jessica please don't go!"
"I'll be outside. I'll come back when I want to, not when you want me to!"
I ran down the stairs and a hand grabbed my arm from behind. I turned round to see Jamie's dark blue eyes, sparkling at me, calming me.
"Don't go" He whispered into my ear, his cheek soft against against my face. "Amy needs you, she's happy with you here, if she's happy, I'm happy!"
"Just leave me, please!"
"Sorry, I know the towel thing earlier was a bit awkward. Your sister, told me to take it in! I would have told you when you got out but I knew it would be uncomfortable for me and you. Please don't feel like I'm some weird, creepy boyfriend because honestly I'm not!"
"Fine now let me go!"
"Amy!" He shouted as he walked up the stairs.
I ran quickly, hauling my backpack up, my hair going in my mouth.
I rang my Mum back home, telling her I was on my way back. I planned what I would do; I would go back to school, speak to Anna, that's if I can, find Mia and go home. Didn't sound much but it was already 12:30! I got on the train back home, my stomach full of butterflies.
I looked behind me and sat there was Ollie. I could feel my face turning bright red, so I applied more foundation to the one I hadn't took of just yet.
I tapped him on the shoulder and he turned round. Oh no! It wasn't him!
"Oh sorry, I thought you were someone else!" I said laughing awkwardly.
He nodded his head and put his earplugs back in. I texted Ollie back:
Hi Ollie! Sorry just seen your text, I've been really busy so I haven't looked at my phone for a while. I'm on the train going back home so text me when you're free so we can meet up!
Xxxxx
I pressed send and sat back closing my eyes.
The next thing I know, I was at my stop. I grabbed my bag and stepped of the train, checking my phone at the same time. My jaw dropped at the screen.
