LIVING WITH MY BEST FRIEND-[c.h.]

chapter 5(the one with a fake smile)

today i woke up ..tired. how can i be exhausted from sleeping? then i remembered. i wasn't feeling well because of the last night. i sighed and rubbed my eyes.

today i'll try to forget all the stressful things that kept me up all night crying and just be happy. At least try.
i got ready and went downstairs.
"Good morning" i faked a smile. i guess i'll be doing this for a while.
"well someone is in a good mood " my mom smiles at me rubbing my shoulder.
"yeah" my eyes dart back and forth from her to my dad who just stared at the screen .I walk to the kitchen to get some food.

i can't even eat..but i have to because mom will assume something's wrong since i never go throughout the day without my breakfast.
i force myself to eat a banana. i sit next to my mom on the couch.

"what the?" she looks at me confused. i was finding an excuse
"don't worry . i was binge eating at 3am again" we laughed.

we were watching tv for about an hour.

when i decided to go bacm to my room.
i open my laptop and my notifs on twitter are going crazy . i choose to ignore them since they'll only make me feel worse if even possible.
i close the twitter tab and watch Friends again. i didn't even realize i was sleeping until my mom came up to my room to check if i want pizza . then i remembered it's saturday . we have 'movie night' and we always order pizza.
"hey there . we're watching your favorite movie..sinister wanna join?" she nervously smiles peeking her head out.
"no thanks" i got comfortable in my sheets again.
"umm you sure everything's okay?i mean you've been sleeping the whole day"
i let out a sigh which turned into a low grunt. "yes mom it's just a little headache." i heard her closing the door. "okay. if you change your mind you're welcome to join us " she slightly laughs.
i just lift my thumb up as a reply.
i check the time it's 9:30pm. wow i really did sleep whole day.

but that's good. with that i avoided pretending and denying my real feelings.

-5 HOUR LATER-
my phone started ringing and it almost threw me off the bed. it's nearly 3 am wtf.
i answer the call not bothering checking the caller ID.
"hello" i answer with my voice barely audible.
"Kayla wtf? i've been calling you the whole day. why weren't you answering it?"
it's Aaron. i remove the phone from my ear to check the number of missed calls.
25?!
"i'm so so sorry Aaron baby. i was sleeping ."
i heard him sigh in relief. "just checking if you're okay..which by the way..are you?"
i swallow a big lump in my throat before answering his question.
"i-i am."
i lied.
"kayla.." he isn't buying it.
"what?" i ask as if i don't know what he's thinking of.

"you're not okay. tell me what's wrong."
"nothing" i acted all brave. he sighs and hangs up. wow. tears started falling down my cheeks.

few moments later i heard knocking on my room balcony. to be honest i'm scared... i mean who would knock on my window at 3 am. the knocking got louder and the first thing i'll do is call aaron even though he's kinda angry at me . i dial his number and call him. suddenly i heard a ring from outside of my room. i started laughing . i open the window and a tall fuzzy haired guy is now standing there having no idea what's going on.

what do u think will Kayla tell Aaron the truth or will she just deny it like she did before? :)x
