The Bad Girl

Chapter 13 ~ You've Gotta Be Kidding Me

A/N - HEY GUYS IM BACK!

I will probably delete that authors note I left before I went away later on but for now it can stay there.

SO I ENDED UP WRITING A WHOLE CHAPTER WHILE I WAS AWAY YAY!

I'm glad I actually achieved something, it made me feel not so guilty about leaving you guys for two weeks.

Anyway, I hope you all had a good Christmas and a wonderful New Years :)

2016 here we come!

Chapter 13 ~ You've Gotta Be Kidding Me

Jacob P.O.V

The morning sun leaked through the blinds and warmed my skin. My tired eyes blinked slowly, begging me to close them and rest. But I hadn't rested all night, and I wasn't about to start.

Riley told me last night she was still going back to the dorms, despite having strong feelings for me. I told her I felt the same except that I wanted her to stay, but she said it was too fast and she should live back at the dorms for a while.

So I couldn't sleep at all last night. And I didn't want to. I didn't want to waste a second with Riley sleeping beside me.

I guess she is probably right anyway.

I hear doors closing in the apartment and quiet chatter. I slip from under Riley's motionless arm that lays across me and put on a jumper.

"Morning." America smiles at me when I enter the living room.

Why is she smiling at me? That's not like her.

I look over at Chase in the kitchen before greeting them both with a hello.

"What are you doin here, Mare?" I say without trying to sound agitated.

"I've come to help Riley with her stuff. She won't be able to carry it all on her motorbike." She explains after sipping her take-away coffee.

"What time is it?" I ask.

Chase checks his phone and replies, "Seven thirty."

"I have a bunch of classes today," I remind myself, "I'm having a shower." I grunt and head back down the hallway.

"You don't want breakfast?!" Chase calls, but the slam of the bathroom door answers for me.

I haven't ever seen America in such a chipper mood.

Is it because Riley is moving back in with her?

I quickly finish in the shower and hurry out of the apartment without a word to anyone.

I couldn't handle watching Riley leave when she woke up.

Riley P.O.V

I take a deep breath in and smile at the scent of Jake that fills my nostrils.

I peer my eyes open and scan the empty space beside me where Jacob was sleeping when I fell asleep. I frown to myself and sit up.

Where did he go?

I make myself presentable and head out to the living room.

"Morning sleepy head" America turns to me from the couch with a grin on her lips.

Chase sits beside her happily eating a sandwich.

"Morning. Where's Jake?" I ask quickly.

They look at each other knowingly then Chase looks up at me.
