Thirty-One

I woke up to the feeling of my phone vibrating in my pocket. Groaning I turned onto my side cracking every sore bone in my spinal cord. I fished out my phone and tapped the screen. I blinked when the light came on double the brightness it usually was. I squinted and read the name above the new message.

I felt a bitter emotion wash over me when I realized it was from Jae.

We need to talk. Please. I'm sorry. Forgive me.

Forgive him!

Was he seriously not going to leave me alone?

After my little "distraction" last night I had no intention to face him ever again.

With the new 4k in my pocket I could easily buy a new phone. One in which Jae couldnt contact me on.

Wouldnt that be nice?

I pocketed my phone and grabbed the table as my leverage. I sat up. The dinner was still considerably empty, but it was defiantly busier then when I fell asleep.

I left a tip on the table then left.

--------------------

I went back to Nick's house. Why? I have no idea. I just felt like it was something I needed to do.
So when I stepped through the door and found the 4 arguing in the kitchen I wanted to turn right back around.

But when Daniela saw me there was no getting away.

"Elin! You came back". She sounded suprised.

I shrugged.

Blondie rolled his eyes and said. "Was I such an intolerance to sleep with?"

You could say that.

"I wasnt tired". I lied.

"Liar." He mumbled, "When we came back you were sleeping like a log".

"Nick have you seen my-" A short women with wavy black hair, and a friendly face walked into the kitchen. She was digging through her purse, but when she looked up her words cut off. A sheepish smile made it's way onto her face. "Hello there".

She was talking to me.

"H-hi".

"No one told me there was an addition to the gang". She shot Nick an irritated look.

"He's not-"

"I'm Yara. Nick's mom". She introduced with a huge smile.

"Elin".

"Well Elin...I hope these dilinquets have been nice to you".

"We're always nice". Blondie said. "Who you calling delinquents anyways?"

She poked him in the chest. "You".

Daniela put a hand over her mouth to conceal a giggle.

"Anyways". Yara set her purse on the island counter. "I have a meeting with Bane today. I want you kids out of here before Miss. Orlien comes around with her cleaning crew".

"I dont get why we need a cleaning crew mum". Nick groaned. His reaction was totally unnatural. It suprised me.
So he is human after all.

"Because I dont trust the lot of you," she waved her finger at everyone but me, "To clean this place spotless".

She slung her bag over her shoulder and started to leave the room. "Be gone by four".
