Chapter 6 - I Could

I woke up around 6am to a pounding headache. I looked around, unsure of where I was. I grabbed my phone off the nightstand, checking all my socials and my texts.

Katelyn: NO FUCKING WAY ANNALISE

Jasmine: GIRL WHAT. ANSWER YOUR PHONE.

Nevaeh: Only you could get so lucky 😳

Skyler: Bitch how the fuck did you manage that. You need to come home and explain EVERYTHING.

I saw a message from an unknown number. Opening it up, brought me back down from the excitement from the night before.

Unknown: Hey, it's Jared. Don't know if you remember me. But I've been in your friend zone for four years. And tonight I opened up a stream to see you drinking in a bedroom with five guys? So much for playing hard to get eh?

How did he get my number..I never gave it to him.. And what does it matter if I'm drinking with people who invited me to. It's not like I was going crazy. What I do with my life doesn't matter to others. I send a text to my parents saying I'm safe and that I'm having a great time. Leaving out the part of drinking with people who are mostly strangers to me and staying at one of their houses. I get up to get an Advil, and see that Pezzy's door is closed, so I assume he must be sleeping. I head downstairs and hear Grizzy snoring in the living room. I walk into the kitchen to get some water, and figured I could try and make some breakfast. I look in the fridge and see what I can make. I settle on French toast and home made hash browns. I start making it, getting the hash browns in the oven and the French toast cooked. Once everything is done it's around 8:30, I set them on three plates on the kitchen island. I head upstairs to wake Pezzy first. As it is his house and his food I used.

I knock on his door, hearing groaning on the other side. I wait a couple minutes and slightly open the door, seeing him still in bed, Sly laying on top of his sheets. "Good morning..uh I made you breakfast.. I hope you like French toast.." I say softly, not trying to scare him awake and wanting to be polite. He stirs and then sits up. "Wait what?" He says looking at me confused. "Uhm.. French toast.. down stairs.. come on before it's cold" I say smiling slightly, closing the door and heading back downstairs. I walk over to Grizzy, debating on how I should wake him. I stood next to him "Grizzy. Hey. Grizzy. Wake up. I made you breakfast. Get up. It's gonna be cold." I say while slightly nudging his leg with my foot. He started groaning. "Bro waking a hungover man is not a way to get brownie points to date his friend" he said barely moving. Dating his friend? What? "Grizzy. Get up. There's French toast." His eyes opened. "Why didn't you say that? I'm up" he sits up. Stretching and groaning from sleeping on the carpeted floor. I walk back to the kitchen, sitting at one of the stools, followed by Pezzy. "Oh wow you weren't joking." He says sitting down next to me. "Why would I joke about making breakfast? It's the least I could do, thank you for letting me stay the night by the way." I say pouring syrup onto my French toast. Grizzy walked in and stared at us. "Those are Pezzy's clothes...tell me yall did not get freaky while I was down here sleeping man" causing both Pezzy and I to laugh. "Nah man. She slept in the guest room, I just gave her some clothes to sleep in. Come on, you'll like her cooking." He says waving him over.

We all finish eating, Grizzy and Pezzy putting their plates in the sink, heading to the living room to start cleaning up from the night before. I get up, and start washing all the dishes I used to make breakfast and cleaning the island. Pezzy walked in with a bag of trash. "Oh you can leave the dishes for me, I can do them after you guys leave. I'm not worried about it." He says while putting the bag next to the counter. "You shouldn't have to worry about dishes I dirtied. Also you don't have to worry about them, they're all done." I say smiling and putting the cloth on the middle of the sink. "Woah what. No Annalise, you didn't have to do. You also didn't have to make us breakfast. We could've ordered something." He says looking at the empty sink. "Trust me. I wouldn't leave it for you. But uh. I should go back to my hotel and shower. I'll go change, where should I leave your clothes?" I say heading towards the door to the kitchen. "You don't have to change. Just wear them to the hotel. I can get them back from you the next time I see you." He says smiling I blush and smile back. "Well. Then I guess I'll go grab my stuff and head back to the hotel." Leaving the kitchen and heading upstairs to grab my belongings. I order an Uber and head back down. Saying goodbye to Grizzy and Pezzy. "Thank you for the bomb ass French toast Annalise. You'll have to show the whole group just how good of a cook you are." Pezzy agreeing with him. I hopped in the Uber and headed for the hotel.
