(Briar's POV)

I groaned in pain as I rolled over to shut my alarm off. I tried to move to leave the comfort of my bed, but instantly curled into a ball as I clutched my stomach.

Cursing, I grabbed my phone to check the time; 5:50. Shit.

Crawling out of bed, despite the unbearable pain in my lower stomach, I prayed it was that time, I wasn't in the mood to look for something good to wear. I pulled out a pair of grey Capri yoga pants with a plain black pull over hoodie and my black and white Nike 5.0 Free Runs and threw all of that on. I washed my face and brushed my teeth, as slow as I possibly could. Brushing my hair was a complete bitch. Every stroke led to two curse words. I pulled my hair into a messy bun, pulling out a few of my baby hairs by my ears. I cleaned my earrings and put in two different kinds of diamond studs into each piercing I had on my ear lobe.

By the time it was 6:25, I hadn't put my contacts in. Glancing between my contacts and my glasses, I mumbled, "fuck it," and shoved my glasses on my face.

I went to grab my phone and backpack, wincing with every step, opening my blinds in the process I watched as rain poured down my window.

Groaning, I snatched up my back pack and walked out to the kitchen. Going into the medicine cabinet, I grabbed a new gauge and some wrap to rewrap my wound. It was getting better but it still was considered and open cut and I didn't need it getting infected.

Once I finished, I grabbed an apple and took a large bite. My body would only let me eat a few bites, if I ate anymore I'd probably throw up.

I threw the apple in the trash and screamed up to my mom. "I'm leaving! I love you! Tell dad I do too!" I grabbed my keys and my mom mind linked me.

-aren't you going to wait for Chase?-

My eyes grew. I forgot chase stayed at my house. Wait didn't I sleep in his room last night? I stopped and walked back up the stairs. Knocking on Chase's door, I waited for an answer. When he didn't respond, I carefully opened the door and looked around. The shower was running so I sat on the end of his bed and waited.

The water stopped and a few minutes later, Chase walks out with jeans on as he towel dries his hair. Blushing, I tried not to stare at his torso. He looked up and his eyes met mine.

"Hey," he said laying the towel on the counter.

"Hey," I smiled slightly, sliding my phone on my pocket.

"You okay?" he asked, concerned, slipping a white tee over his head, his v-line peeking out.

I sighed. "Kinda. My stomach really hurt and I don't know why." I tried to smile, instead it probably looked like a grimace.

He slipped a black and red flannel over his shoulders and rolled the sleeves up. "Did you take any pain medicine?" I shook my head.

"Don't have any. I'll get some from Evie when we get to school. By the way, are we taking my car or your car?" I asked watching him tie his Converse.

"Mine. Flynn had Allison drive his when he came to drop off my clothes this morning. He asked if he could say hi but you weren't up yet. I checked." He smiled grabbing his backpack.

Walking towards me, he takes his hair and kissed my lips quick. "Good morning, beautiful." he held my hand and pulled me up into a hug.

"Good morning, handsome." I said blushing. We walked out of his room and down stairs. I mind linked my mom and told her we were leaving. She told us to be safe and have fun.
