"Ok, seriously... When was the last time you left your room?" Kiara sighs not bothering to knock, inviting herself into her friend's room. Hayley rolled her eyes looking at her friend standing in her doorway with her arms crossed in disapproval. " Three days. I'll share my Skittles if you don't ask any more questions." Hayley offers holding up her party-sized bag of candy she guilted Pope into bringing her. "Deal." Kie smiles, kicking her shoes off and jumping on the messy bed grabbing a handful of candy. "Whatcha doing?" Kie questions leaning her head on her friend's shoulder to try and get a peek at Hayley's phone. "I said no questions," Hayley says quickly, shoving the phone under her thigh and out of sight. Kiara chewed her lip wanting to know who the mystery boy her friend was texting and keeping a secret. Pouges didn't keep secrets.
"Hey! So there is a party down at the Boneyard. The guys and I are going. You two in?" John B said from the doorway, an over-positive tone to try and coax his sister out of her room. "I'll pass." Hayley scoffed, sounding unamused. "I'm in. Just give me a little." Kie sighs looking at the brunette annoyed. "Alright. You sure you don't wanna go?" John B double-checks with his little sister, praying she changes her mind. "I'm not going. Don't ask again." Hayley says, throwing a skittle at her brother. "Alright." He chuckles, catching it and popping it in his mouth as he heads down the hall to get ready.
"I know you don't want to, but you really should go, Hayls... It will take your mind off things for a little, make you feel better." Kaira attempts giving her friend a hopeful look. "Drinking cheap beer and getting groped by entitled kooks and wasted strangers. That is supposed to make me feel better?" Hayley scoffs. "C'mon like John B and JJ will let that happen. Besides it's the fresh air that would be good for you. Maybe the social interaction. Either way, I'm getting worried about you Hayley. We all are." Kiara mumbles slightly nervous about sharing her feelings with her erratic friend not knowing how she would take it. With Hayley, it was always a 50/50. She would either get angry and push you away or ignore it. On a rare occasion, she would share her feelings back. Hayley sighs and pulls herself out of bed for the first time in 27 hours. "You guys don't have to worry about me. I am fine. I'll go if you guys stop worrying." Kiara jumps out of bed flinging his arms around her ecstatic she is finally leaving her bedroom. "Deal! let's pick out an outfit!" She sequels going straight for the blonde's closet. Hayley plasters on a fake smile regretting it already.
"No way in hell. I am not wearing that Kie. Not in a million years." Hayley laughs rolling her eyes and shaking her head at the pink mini dress Kiara pulls out of Hayley's closet. "Then why is it in your closet?" Kiara sassed hands on her hips. "It's yours Kie." Hayley laughs criticizing her best friend's fashion choices. "Oh... Wow. That is... Going in the trash. Moving on..." Kie questions wrinkling her nose and tossing the hideous dress aside. "OK, what are you going to wear?" Kiara says giving up on trying to find an outfit. Hayley shrugs not giving a shit how she looks. "This is fine." She says motioning to her current outfit. A messy bun with sweatpants and an oversized t-shirt, probably John Bs. "No. Just no. Go get in the shower." Kiara says a disgusted look plastered on her face. Hayley rolls her eyes but doesn't protest and heads to the bathroom knowing she is in desperate need of one. It's been almost two weeks, a rather rough two weeks. "She is alive!" JJ shouts as she walks past the living room. "Shut up J!" Hayley laughs slamming the bathroom door shut. She turns on the hot water and attempts pull her tangled curls out of the hair tie. "JB?" Hayley shouts heading toward the kitchen. "What's up?" John B questions looking up from the couch. "Help." She whimpers pulling on her hair and making him laugh. "Cut it please." She sighs grabbing the scissors and passing them to her brother. "Jesus Hayley..." He mutters trying to pick apart the dread. "Here." John B says handing her the hair tie and a large amount of hair. "John B!" She snaps. "Don't yell at me. If you wanna keep your hair try brushing it." He laughs as she stompts back to the bathroom.
The water stung the cuts on her inner thigh as she stepped under the spray. The red lines were safely tucked away from everyone's line of sight. "Shave!" Kiara yells as she passes through the door. "And wash your damn hair! Rinsing it out doesn't count! Shampoo and Conditioner!" Hayley rolls her eyes. "I know how to shower Kie!" She shouts. "By the way you smell, I couldn't tell." She teases walking away.
