There was annoying ringing. It was still pitch black so I guessed it was the middle of the night. There was a groan that came from the owner of the hand I was holding. I reached over to find my phone and put it too my ear “Mmm,”
“Where are you? I’m about to leave the party and I can’t find you anywhere!” it was Tess of course, wait the party was still going on? It couldn’t be that late then. I could hear the thumping music in the background “Annie?”
“Sorry, I left; I’ll talk to you tomorrow,”
“Oh shit you know don’t you?” I sat up quickly earning another groan from Jasper “I’m so sorry Annie, I was going to tell you I just, I just didn’t know what to say,” her voice squeaked and I sighed
“We will talk when you’re sober,” I sighed ending the call on her protests
“Your friends are noisy,” he moaned “who was it?”
I closed my eyes rubbing my forehead and sighing “Just Tess, don’t worry,”
“She knew about Mattie didn’t she,” he asked but I could tell he really just wanted to go back to sleep.
“Go back to sleep Jasper you’ve been nice enough tonight without hearing about him too,”
“I wish I could put a brave face on like you, I would have never guessed something was wrong if your mask didn’t slip.” I flopped back on his puffy pillows and once again took in his scent.
“It could be worse,” I told him again and Jasper sighed “I need my beauty sleep, night Jas,” I turned over again but he kept hold of my hand tightly
“Goodnight Annie,”
