Can this be?

Chapter 38

Tobins POV
I wake up the next morning looking at the clock seeing that it's only 8am. I sit up but am immediately hit with a pounding headache making me groan and fall back down.

a few minutes later, I suck it up and walk to the the bathroom taking a couple pain pills hoping to get rid of the headache.

As soon as I exit the bathroom, I realize that Alex isn't here with me. I remember pretty much everything from yesterday, even pulling her up to snuggle closer to me even tho I yelled at her earlier. I felt really bad for doing that.

I search around the room finding no trace of her until I find a sticky note laying by my phone which thankfully has her hand writing. How did I not notice this when I got up?

I picked up the note and read it silently smiling at it.

'Went to go get some breakfast for all of us. Make sure to take some pain medicine and I just wanna say I'm sorry again. Be home soon.
P.S- no offense but take a shower please, you smell like blood and beer...
-lex :)'

I go in Hope's closet looking for some clothes because I always leave some here, and thankfully, I found a pair of boxers, a sports bra, a Nike t-shirt, and some basketball shorts. Also one of my favorite SnapBacks. I wonder how I left that here.

I hop into the shower washing off all of the dried blood that soaked through my shirt and then the beer scent with my pineapple and mango body wash and when I was satisfied, I hopped out, got dressed, and got my phone heading to the living room.

I flop on the couch taking up all the room since Ash was on the other couch and Hope was in her room.

I start going through my Instagram and Twitter then once I go to the home screen, I see I have a message but I smile admiring my background.

It's a picture of Alex and I kissing on the beach from that one day we went to my beach house. After a couple minutes of staring at it, I decide I should check the message and I gasped in complete shock and I start panicking.

"Hope! Hope! Hope! Hope! Ash! Hope! Ash! Somebody wake the hell up!" I scream and Ash jumps falling off the couch and Hope runs into the living room tripping over her own feet on the way over her falling forward.

"What?!? What's wrong?! I know you did not wake me up just to mess with me!" Hope yells and as much as I would've liked to... We had much more serious problems.

"No... I-I... Ummm... Hope you're not gonna like this but-" I start but she cuts me off.

"You fucking got me and ash out of bed at 8:45 in the morning. What the hell is so damn important?" Hope asks impatiently and I lose it.

"He's back god damnit! My dad is back and Hope I-I-I don't know what to do. I feel scared and mad and worried and so many emotions right now and I don't know what to do." I say panicking feeling my heart rate pick up and my whole body starts to shake.

Ash rushes over to me and looks me directly in my eyes.

"Tobin, you need to calm down. You're starting to shake really badly and that's not a good sign. So take a couple deep breaths and I want you to tell us what's up." Ash says as I follow her instructions taking a couple deep breaths.
