All Consuming

Chapter 9- Awakening

Erika's P.O.V

I slowly feel the cracks of my eyes begin to open... I see a a blurred version of my surroundings and then my eyes widen! Oh gosh.. I turn around and see Bailey still sleeping, like wow this actually happened.

I look round at the clock and see that it says 10:30... Oh no!! Mum! I quickly swipe my phone off of the side and send a quick text.

'Hey mum, we all stayed at Chantelle's, I will see you later on'

Phew okay that's done, I then hear a loud 'yawn' come from beside me.

"Erika?" He says inquisitively.

"Yeah.. I brought you home last night and it was very late, because you were throwing up everywhere"

"Oh okay thanks"

He honestly looks like he has done this sort of thing dozens of times, and that it doesn't matter at all? He seems so happy this arrangement and how things panned out... I feel so awkward and he doesn't.

I then scrabble round the room trying to find my things.

"Hey you can stay for breakfast if you want?"

"That's quite alright thank you though, have a good day" I reply

"Umm Erika would you maybe meet me in the park later? He says so normally

I frown and then say "Sure, I need to change and things but I'll be there about 1o'clock"

"Okay see you"

I then get myself downstairs with a handful of my things and see Tonia and Rob sitting down.

"Ah thank you for letting me stay"

Tonia replies with "No problem dear, anytime; and thank you for bringing Bailey home, I know he gets a bit out of hand sometimes"

"That's okay, uh see you again sometime, hopefully not on the same terms" I say jokingly.

"See you soon" says Rob

I smile and then open the front door and well walk very fast out of the driveway hoping no one will see me, this embarrassment is killing me, with this little pink dress and my hair all messy I must look like a low-class hooker.

As I'm making my way back home in consciously looking around me making sure there's no one staring round at me in judgment, so I keep my head down and speed walk all the way home.

I then get to thinking, what possibly could Bailey want after this has happened? It's probably making sure I won't tell anyone anything, like I would anyway I don't want the whole school coming up to me asking me questions about my time with him, I don't enjoy too much attention.
