Behind Closed Doors

Chapter 5

Kaylee POV 

 I woke up to an empty bed, and I sighed as I rubbed my face. I didn't sleep right last night because it wasn't the same without Chris. I wanted to be held, feel loved, feel his morning kisses, and feel his touch. But it was for the best that I decided that we needed time apart. Chris hurt me physically, mentally, and emotionally, so I need to find some strength to avoid him. But it would be hard for me because I'm so addicted to him.

My cell phone started ringing, interrupting my thoughts. I picked up my phone and Zoe's name flashed across the screen. I scoffed as I answered the call.

"Hello?" 

"Hey, Kay. We still on for today?"

"Uh, yeah. How does in an hour sound?"

"Alright. You want me to pick you up?"

"Yeah. That's cool." 

"Alright, I'm on my way."

"Okay." I hung up the phone as I laid back on my pillow.

 After a minute went by, I got up and went to take a shower. I brushed my teeth, washed my face, and put some lotion and deodorant on. I put on a pair of lace blue thongs and a matching bra across my chest. I went in my closet and put on a pair of black leggings, a blue halter hoodie that shows off my belly piercing, and a pair of blue and black Nike's. 

I went into the bathroom to apply some mascara and lip gloss, but it wasn't in there. Shit, I must have left it in Chris' room. I walked out of my room and down the hall to Chris' room, and he wasn't in there. I went in the bathroom and saw my lip gloss and mascara. I grabbed them both before walking back down the hall to my room and going in my bathroom to put them on. 

 Once I was done, I ran my fingers through my hair one time before grabbing my phone and black purse, and I headed downstairs to go grab a banana. When I went in there, I saw Chris and some other guy talking and laughing. He had tattoos everywhere just like Chris, he was light skinned, and he had some chinky kind of eyes. He was fine, but Chris would always look better than any other man that I see. That's what happens when you fall in love with someone like that.

"Good morning, Kay." Chris said as I went to the pantry and grabbed a banana. "Morning, Chris." I replied lightly. I didn't feel like talking to him. I went in the refrigerator to grab a water bottle as they continued to talk. 

 I heard a car horn beep outside the house, so I grabbed my stuff and began to leave, but guess who got in the way of that when I heard...

"Where you finna go, Kay?" Mr.Brown, of course.

"Out." I dryly replied.

"With?" He challenged. 

"Someone." I impatiently turned around with attitude.

"I don't know who 'someone' is." Okay, now he's just trying to be funny in front of his friend.

"Dammit, Chris! I'm going out with Zoe, since you want to be so damn nosey! I'm a grown ass woman, so I can do whatever much I please. Now stop trying to show off and leave me alone! Obviously, I'm not happy with you right now!" I stormed out of the house before getting in Zoe's car and we pulled off. 

"Hey, boo. What's wrong with you?" She asked as she drove.

"Nothing. Chris just fucking pissed me off." As soon as I said that, my phone started ringing and Chris' name and picture was on the screen. I rolled my eyes and declined it.

"What he do now?" Zoe sighed and I scoffed.

"I don't want to talk about it." I snarled.

"Ok, I'm guessing that he pissed you off big time."
