Lonely eyes

Chapter 9

Alex P.OV
------------------------------------------------------
I open my eyes to find Jess cuddled up on my chest causing me to smile, drunk Jess makes me miss our relationship sometimes, we dated for over a year and it was so perfect but we learned were closer friends then anything else but there still a part of me that will always love her that way, I sit up and instantly regret it as my head starts spinning and pounding as I fall back onto Kasy's king size bed with a groan.

Jess rubs her eyes as she rolls off me also groaning "I fucked up" she moans as she turns on her side holding her head. I lay on my stomach and realize Kasy's not in the bed.

"Where's Kasy?" I whisper cause talking any louder sounded like a scream to my hung over migraine.

As Jess looks up to answer Kasy walks through her bedroom door with a smile on her face and fully dressed

"hey guys!" She shrieks causing Jess and me to burry our faces into the pillows and blankets around us. I hear a thud and Kasy say ow as Jess grumbles "shut up!"

Kasy giggles as she sets something next to her bed on the night stand, "here take some Advil and drink some water you'll be good in the next hour."

Then she walks out the room. I lean up and slowly reach over to the table grabbing one of the cups of water and advils before laying back down after taking it.

About three hours later Kasy had dropped me off at my house and headed off to the mall with Jess, my hang over hadn't quit yet left so I decided to lay this one out and take a break.

I walk up the pathway to my front door unlocking it and step inside sliding my converse off leaving them by the door before treading up the stairs. I walk into my room and quietly close the door behind me and plop back first onto my bed as I grab my phone from my bag then laying on my side, I had five text messages two from Colton and three from my step mom. I bite my lip mumbling shit under my breathe as I swipe open her messages.

"Where are you!?"
"Alex answer you damn phone you need to get your ass home now!"
"That's it Alex your grounded you better be home by time I get home or your in for a beating!!"

"Shit shit shit." I say as I sit up real fast and dial her number as I lean up against my head board.

It rang twice and she answered, biting my nails I say "hey I'm so sorry I didn't get your text message till I just got home from Kasys.."

"I don't care you little shit you didn't come home Friday after school and I didn't hear from you all day Saturday you in trouble when I get home." And with that she hung up.

I blinked away the tears that were forming in my eyes as I lay my phone beside me, I lay back thinking of the night Colton found me walking around late.. And what had happened then, scared of what will happen when she gets home.

Colton P.O.V

I step out the shower wrapping one towel around my waist grabbing a smaller one and running it over my hair repeatedly till my hair is left damp instead of soaking wet. I drop the smaller towel onto my bed as I open my closet door grabbing a plan V lined white T-shirt and some cargo shorts from my dresser getting dressed and heading out to the living room.

I've never been known to get hang overs, I get it from my dad it just doesn't happen which I am thankful for as I read "terrible hangover my head is spinning XC" the text I got from Alex once she made it back to her house. I smile at my phone shaking my head as I text "awe I'm sorry babe wish I could help :(" putting my phone on the counter top as I grab a cup of noodles from the cabinet and setting it in the microwave. My phone buzzes and I grab it and open the text from Alex "my step mom is pissed.. I'm kinda scared for when she comes home .. Haha :/" I frown at the text remembering the night I picked her up after dropping my mom off at work, as I text back "just explain everything she shouldn't get that mad.. But call me if it gets bad I'll come get you." Right then the microwave beeps and I take out the noodles grabbing a fork and my phone then head into the living room as the intro to Top Gun begins.

The movie was half way over when I started to worry, I haven't heard from Alex and I know what her step mom has done in the past. The nerves took over and I could no longer focus on the movie so I turned the tv off grabbing the remains from the cup of noodles throwing it away as I put the fork in the sink, I bite onto my finger nail as I stare at my phone screen "text me damn it!" I say to my phone as I get this overwhelming uneasy feeling in my stomach.

No longer able to take the paranoia eating at me I swip my phone open dialing her number listening to it ring four times then go to voice mail. I bite my lip and curse under my breathe as I grab the keys to my moms car and head over to her house my hands shaking with worry. "Please be okay" I say as I drive down to her house that couldn't be farther away.
