i woke up the next morning feeling the familiar heaviness in my chest. i lay on the bed for a few minutes, gathering the strength to start my day. the previous nights event flashed back in my mind. 

with a sigh, i pushed myself up and got ready. i went to the kitchen to get some water when my eyes fell on a watch lying on the counter. i picked up and recognized it immediately-it was aj's. he must have left it behind when he was cooking.

knowing that aj lived just a few houses down, i decided to return the watch. i slipped it inside my pocket and made my way to his house. the air was crisp and the walk was short, bringing familiar memories while crossing the path we used to draw on with our chalk. 

reaching aj's house, i knocked on the door. after a few moments, the door opened but instead of aj, a woman stood there. someone i had hoped to never see again.

lily fucking wilkinson.

lily's eyes narrowed as she recognized me.

"what do you want?" lily snapped, her tone icy. god, her voice could kill millions of population.

"hi lily." i said calmly. there was no point in causing any drama. "im looking for aj."

she crossed her arm, a smirk playing on her lips. "why would you be searching for aj? you two aren't exactly close anymore."

my frustration bubbled up but she kept her tone even. "that's between aj and me."

before lily could respond, someone called out my name. we both turned around to see aj, his expression shifting from curiosity to surprise when he saw us standing in the doorway.

"hailey, what are you doing here?" he asked but then lily cleared her throat, as if wanting his attention on her. "and you. lily, what the fuck are you doing here?" he sounded more angry and furious. 

"i came here to get back with you." she said simply and the amount of second-hand embarrassment i felt was concerning. "cheating with nate was a mistake. it just... happened."

i chuckled and aj looked at her with disgust. "i don't know who gave you the confidence to show up to my place but i sure as hell know i would never get back with you again." he said firmly.

she raised her hand and then slapped him in the face. what. the. fuck? "you fucker." she raised her fist to throw another punch but i grabbed her wrist. 

"the only fucker here is you." i said coldly. i twisted her wrist even more until i released it aggressively, causing her to loose her balance. "get lost."

she scoffed and crossed her arms over her breast that wasn't even there. "well." she said in a high pitched tone. god when was she going to give up? "you words doesn't affect me. i'm just built different."

"we can see that." i said, without missing a beat. her cheeks flamed with red, her jaw dropped and aj was looking like he was about to crack up.

she huffed loudly and stomped away while holding up a middle finger as if that's going to do us anything.

"thanks for that." he laughed and i grinned.

"no problem."

"so... what are you doing here?" he asked, eyeing at the bag i was holding. 

"oh, this?" i raise the bag and handed it to him. "you forgot your watch. and your pen. i guess some thins doesn't change. like your forgetful personality."

"shit hailey, thanks a bunch." he said.

"it's fine." i said and we just kind of stayed like that in silence because i did not know what to say. "um, i'll go okay? tomorrows the first day and i don't want to be unready or anything."

"oh yeah yeah sure. thanks for today." he smiled. "see you tomorrow?"

what the fuck do i say? "you know it."
