"You could have at least said something, Delaney."

"Yeah. We were worried about you! We couldn't find you anywhere!"

"You should've answered your phone."

"I called you like thirty times!"

I've been listening to my brother and his friends yell at me since we left school. They saw me leave Mr Gill's class and they lost their damn minds. Even Lolo was mad at me, which was something I wasn't used to.

"I can't believe you!" I sighed before rubbing my forehead. They were all being so overdramatic. It's not like I left school or ran away. I just skipped my classes to help a friend. A very CUTE friend.

"Well?! What do you have to say for yourself?" I looked back at Lolo and titled my head.

"Are you idiots finally going to let me speak?" He glared at me before looking at Brayden, no doubt telling him to handle the situation.

"Where were you?"

"I was with Andrew. Y'know, the guy you left me with?" They all looked at each other before looking back at me. They didn't say anything for the longest, after another minute or so Jakobi finally spoke up.

"We went back to Mrs Finnick's to look for you. You weren't there." Um, I'm pretty sure I was.

"Yes I was. I was in there with Andrew for like three hours." That statement seemed to put them all on edge but they didn't say anything else. I didn't ask any questions, mostly because I was scared that I would have to explain why I was alone with Andrew for so long.

We finally made it back to my dorm, the guys still hadn't said a word. I didn't feel like asking what was wrong with them so I just went inside and locked the door behind me. They're all being annoying.

I made my way down the hall to my room, walking in, not bothering to shut the door. Not like anyone can get in here anyway.

I dropped my bag on the floor before jumping on my bed. I sighed feeling the warmth of my thick blanket. I was finally over my little cold spell or whatever that was. Andy's jacket helped a lot. I don't think I'm gonna give it back any time soon.

I slid my phone out of my pocket and looked through my notifications. I hadn't spoken to any of my friends since I got here. I've texted them, but they never answer. I try not to think about it much because that's depressing but it still bothers me.

I ignored the small tinge in my chest before I tossed my phone aside. I think an after school nap is exactly what I need after the day I've had.

3 Hours Later:

I woke up hearing my phone ringing. The bright light made me clench my eyes shut and turn the other way. I groaned before I slowly sat up and grabbed my phone.

"What?"

"Rude." I rolled my eyes hearing Lolo's voice.

"What is it, Liam?"

"I was just checking up on you. I know the guys were a little....harsh....earlier."

"You were too." He sighed before he spoke up again,

"I was just worried, Del. You're my little sister, the thought of something happening to you scares me. When we couldn't find you and you weren't answering your phone I panicked. I know we shouldn't have yelled at you, but it was all out of love. I promise."

"I know. It won't happen again." I think.

"Good. Now, back to what I called for, I need a favor." Oh hell.
