I came downstairs to find Lexi already eating her breakfast, that's weird I'm usually up first. As I got closer to the table I could hear her whispering the lyrics to 'Bullet With Your Name' by Linkin Park, that's when I noticed the purple wires of her earphones dangling down and tucked into her blouse.
"Shit"
She barely raised her head at my entrance but I caught a glimpse of her eyes, not that I really need to see them for confirmation. I know her mood music just as well as her make-up, extra liner and Linkin Park go hand in hand, she's angry and upset. There's never one without the other.
I walked over to her and gently pulled one of her earphones out "Lexi it's just me what's wrong sweetheart." She just glared at me and pulled away to put her earphone back in.
Double shit, she always talks to me which means it must have been me that upset her. I couldn't remember doing anything, shit. I slid my black and grey checked hoodie off my shoulders and held it out to her, holding my breath for a moment. She always wears my checked hoodie when she's upset it started at school and moved to at home too when we moved in together, but then I've never been the one to upset her before, and she's never refused to talk to me before even after we found out the truth and were both totally freaking out. I just stood there with my arm outstretched towards her, the hoodie in my hand.
I let out the breath I'd been holding as she snatched it from me, slid it on and walked away. I raced back upstairs to grab my school bag and my blazer, before following her out the door, giving a shout goodbye to dad who was working in his office.
The bus ride to school was torture, she'd never been so quiet before. I'd usually be holding her and listening to what happened or bitching about whoever upset her but she wouldn't even look at me. This is bad. At least she took the hoodie that must mean something. I could fix this, I just had to figure out what 'this' is.
We walked into the common room and over to our lockers together, she ignored me the entire time even after she turned off her iPod. I watched as she pulled her hood up and walked away from me to go and see our friends. It didn't feel right, she's upset, when she's upset she comes to me and I comfort her that's how it goes it's my job, it had been that way since we were 8 and in primary school. I rushed out to the garden a few steps behind her.
Our friends all know what Lexi in my hoodie means, but as I walked into the garden I suddenly felt all eyes on me. I guess when she's like this I usually have my arm round her so this is a little different. I tried to catch up to her but Daniella caught me first grabbing onto me and pulling me back.
"Hey what's with Lex and the scary eyes?"
Before I could utter a word Shanna warned her "that's her don't fuck with me look, somethins up so I wouldn't piss her off today, even a little cos you will regret it" was she glaring at me, how did she know it was my fault I didn't even know what I'd done, and her warning sounded a little harsh to Daniella, maybe it's her time of the month, women do crazy stuff when it's their TOM.
"Ook, why is she wearing your hoodie?" Daniella's voice was a little lower than usual and a little sing song-ish, she was doing that last night too. I think all the women I know are losing their freaking minds, see this is why I stay away from them. Her hand had been sliding down my arm and was now holding on to my wrist.
"cos she needs it" I told her, pulling my arm away from her chilling touch.
I turned to look at Lexi again but instead saw Davie walking towards me.
