Complicated

Chapter 46

I finally am able to just relax from a long day of shopping with Tammy and let me tell you - she is horrible to shop with.

I'm the kind of girl that can take a healthy dose of shopping, but she - she can go at it all day. Every time something caught her eye, she headed to the changing room to try it on and then took five minutes to debate whether she should get it or not.

When I see something cute, I sometimes try it on, but if it doesn't make me look fat then I usually get it. Tammy isn't like that.

I groan and drop my shopping bags on the ground, falling face first into my comfortable bed.

The blisters on my feet have grown their own blisters. Never wearing these shoes again.

"Bella? Is that you?" My moms voice asks through the open door.

"Yeah," I lift my head to look at her.

"Oh good. Do you know where your brother is? I haven't seen him all day," she questions, worry penetrating through her voice.

Devon hasn't been home since last night?

"No, I thought he would he home by now," I furrow my eyebrows.

"Alright, if you get a hold of him, just let me know," she nods at me and I agree.

Even though I'm slightly mad at Devon still, I'm still worried about his well being. He's usually is at home on time, and I don't know where he could be if he's not here.

Sighing, I stand up and grab a pair of pajamas before walking into the bathroom to take a shower.

Gavin hasn't texted me all day, so we don't have any plans that I know of. I know Hailey said something about a party, but I just went to one last night and just feel like staying in.

I quickly wash my hair and body before getting out of the water and into some pajamas.

When I get back to my room there's a text from Hailey asking if I want to come to the party tonight that starts at eight.

Me: nah I'm not feeling to well

It's not exactly a lie. After a day at the mall I really am not to enthusiastic about putting on heels.

Hailey🐶: alright if you change your mind let me know

Me: I will

I turn on my tv and get a throw blanket, letting it cover me from the cool air.

I close my eyes, not having got much sleep the night prior, and slowly drift off for a much needed nap in the midst of the evening.

•••

I wake to my phone going off, indicating someone is calling me.

I groggily grab the phone, Tammy's name flashing across the screen.

"Hello?" I clear my throat and wait for her to respond.

"Did your brother ever come home today?" I told her at the mall that Devon didn't come home last night, but I haven't told her that he hasn't come home at all.

"No, why?"

"Um, because he's here?" She says, warily.
