Chapter 24 - I'm Trying To Sleep, Pervert!

Chapter 24 - I'm Trying To Sleep, Pervert!

I locked myself up in Karen's room, rage rushing through my veins as I recalled Dan's words. How could he even do that, just take his anger out on me? What had I done to deserve it? What had Jamie done to deserve it?

I checked my phone and saw I had two missed calls from Jo and a text:

Where r u??? I'm going crazy! Tell me you're okay at least :/

I stared at the screen. I couldn't tell her I was okay, because I wasn't okay. Not even close to okay.

So, I put my phone away without responding. I lay on the bare white bed, staring up at the white ceiling. I was going to be sleeping in  Karen's room. The thought was unnerving and a little uncomfortable.

I rolled onto my side. Who knew what she had done in here. Had friends over for sleepovers, locked herself up in here when she fought with someone, maybe even sneaked up some boys for all I knew.

But I imagined Karen as an innocent, sweet girl who looked out for everyone she cared about. A girl who was academically successful and like precious gold to everyone.

So, I decided to take a nap. It was only 2:45 and I was exhausted. I shut the blinds which made the room too bright and perky to satisfy my mood.

But I was unable to close my eyes. Thoughts just flooded through my brain, related to Jacob, Jo, Miranda and Conner, my parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robins, Jamie and especially Dan.

I sighed as I lay down, closing my eyes slowly. I just couldn't sleep without a blanket though; no matter the weather, even if it was 30 degrees outside, I had to have a blanket covering me. I felt so exposed, bare without one.

But there were no blankets in sight. So, I had no choice but to take a nap without one.

I was nowhere near dozing off until there was a knock on the door, light and soft. So quiet, I wasn't even sure if I'd heard it. But it came again, a little louder.

I didn't answer. I'd pretend to be asleep. It wasn't that hard to do, right? Unless someone tickled you, that is. But that's another story...

So, I didn't answer. I didn't have to; the door slowly opened and I quickly shut my eyes, making sure they weren't shut too tight. I also made sure my mouth wasn't twitching.

I had no idea who it was, just watching me sleep, but I felt a chill run down my spine.

I remained motionless as I heard soft footsteps head towards me. I wondered if it was Jamie, because Mrs. nor Mr. Robin would ever just come in, or maybe it was - Dan. Ugh.

I tried not to smack him, but it was hard. Things were too quiet and I wondered what he was doing. Something bad?

"You're terrible at acting."

My eyes fluttered open immediately when I heard Dan's voice, and saw him standing beside the bed, arms crossed over his chest, a half amused expression on his face.

I narrowed my eyes. "What do you want from me? And why are you even talking to me?"

He sighed, pressing his fingers to his temple. "I...I just..." He came closer to me, and I just lay there, watching him. And then, he sat at the edge of the bed and leaned over me, his body pressed against mine.

I lay there, frozen. I couldn't move, mostly because he was practically lying on top of me, but finally, I smacked his rock-hard chest. "Get off!"

He smiled, a sexy half smile but didn't answer.

"Dan Robins, get off me this instant! I'm trying to sleep, pervert!"
