Chapter 6 : Beauty Sleep

'Cause, baby, now we got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love

Bad blood by Taylor Swift was my alarm. I cursed under my breathe and covered my ears with pillows.

So take a look what you've done
'Cause, baby, now we got bad blood
Hey

"Shut up already!" I demand, crawling to my table to off the alarm. I was on the floor and couldn't reach it for the world. As sleepy as I was, I wouldn't just stand up, normally I wait another few minutes, but the sound of her voice never helps my morning. It looks like I had a hangover, but it's just me.

Now we got problems
And I don't think we can solve them
You made a really deep cut
And, baby, now we got bad blood
Hey

"ARGH," I push my phone off the table and it landed on my carpet. "There ya go!" I pant. Didn't know I could be this tired and the day just started.

"Honey, Janna drove by this morning to tell me that she couldn't drive you. Can you ask one of your friends?" my mom announced from the top of her lungs.

"Uh huh?" I hum. Going out of my room, I tripped over some thread. "Jershon, you dork!" my hand planted on the floor. "This is literally the best day of the week, what more can—"

"Honey, stop talking to yourself and eat breakfast! You'll be late." Mom crosses her arms over her chest.

"You ain't gotta make your mind up
You ain't gotta make your mind up right now
Right now, don't rush, no pressure." I sang, getting my grove on.

Mom rolled her eyes. "Just be ready in 10," she sigh.

I nod and pick up my phone since I abandoned it on the ground. Dusting it off, I noticed it blink.

Need a ride?

I scratch my head. How does Evan know, I thought.

I don't need one and I'm satisfied with my mom :P

Is that so?

Yes.

Your mother has been lying to me then. She asked if I could drive you :/

"Mom, why?" I muttered to myself.

"Looks like you've lying huh? What happened to your good girl disguise?" Evan's voice appeared in my mind.

"Oh god, why is his voice circling in my mind?" I massage my brain.

"Your brain knows what you want, then!" Evan shouts behind me.

I startle and breathe. "What the hell was that for?" I ask.

"Gosh Sasha, you are really a handful." he complains.

"I still don't why my own mother trusts a kid/monkey with her daughter." I mumble loudly.

"She trusts me more than for the record. And why, because I'm Evan Knight!" he smirks.

"Why did we include your name again? Jeez, it doesn't even fit a name of a king." I state. "Nor a knight." I mumble.

"That is a good one," he chuckles. "But before I lose my mind talking to you, I'll be in the kitchen."

"And why is that?" I laugh.

"Because I deserve a treat of my own." he pose like some Royal Highness.

Right after I dress up for school, I trudged down the stairs and glances at my brother, surprisingly talking to Evan from all the people in the world, why him? I would understand Ban since I caught them texting each other and hanging out, but Evan? That's another story.

"Lad, some rules before anything else! Uno, lay your hands off my sister. I see you've been touchy lately. Dos, don't leave her like before you oaf. I can't afford whatever happened before, I repeat and Tres, don't think I've approved of you just yet, you need some work done before that." Jershon glares at my best friend. "Now chop-chop I'm running late for my first period in Physics. I need guidance," he sighs.

I chuckle and smile. My brother never showed me this version of his. Protective.

Jershon stood away from his favorite stool and passed through the back door. He didn't see me quite clearly, that's a good sign.

I stopped hiding and walked towards Evan, his jaw was wide open.

"What was that all about?" I ask him, pulling the stool and sitting on it. I pick myself some bread and butter to go with some tea.

"Tease me all you want, but I had no idea what came up with your brother." he admit.

"The guy is just over protective of me and he had anger issues for the pass week since he picked me up from the hospital." I explain. "But care to explain what really happened that night?" I suggest.

"I was drinking and suddenly lost track of time. Jershon started freaking out and punched me on the face, kinda like an upper cut." he tells.

"Oh my gosh that bastard! I'm so sorry." I apologize. "Don't worry I'll talk to Jershon and—"

"Sasha, please I don't want anymore trouble." he says. "As long as you are safe, then it's fine with me."
