Victim of Love

28) Jacob's Revelation

[Monday Morning – Hailey and Simon's hotel room]

Dan's POV

"I should be in school, studying for midterms. But, here I am, helping two idiots dress up for a wedding they don't even want to attend." I grumble as I help Hailey do her hair.

Simon rolls his eyes. "Chill out, Danny. It's not like you were going to do anything in school. Grey told me that you had plans on skipping classes just to do some artwork with Olivia."

"Why Grey told you that is beyond me, but I was going to do some legitimate work, alright?"

"Uh huh. Keep telling yourself that. We all know you wanted to make out with Mark."

"How about my fist makes out with your face?"

"Okay, that's not something I want. Unless you don't mind making out with me."

Hailey groans. "Can you both just shut up? Simon, put your clothes on. Dan, help him."

Honestly, of all the ways I could've spent my Monday, I just had to be stuck with these two. I love them and all, but sometimes I wonder how they got this far in life without getting arrested or something.

Not to mention, I miss Mark.

Yes, I know I sound like an annoying, clingy girlfriend but in my defense, I don't like spending time with Simon that much. Or his group of friends. They may be a nice bunch, but they give me massive headaches.

"Danny, am I putting my tie on right?" Simon asks as he puts it on backwards.

"You've got to be kidding me." I groan as I help him with his tie. "Why do both of you have to be so incompetent?"

Hailey rolls her eyes as she puts her make up on. "Ironic coming from the guy who took a month to realize his feelings."

"I did not take a month to realize my feelings!" I shout, glaring at her. "I also don't see how this matters right now."

"Hailey! Simon! Qu'est-ce que vous prend deux si longtemps ?! Nous avons besoin d'aller chercher les fleurs aussi! Bon Dieu, nous allons être ainsi paniquer tard!" Alice exclaims, barging in the room. (What the hell is taking you two so long?! We need to go and get the flowers too! God damn it, we're going to be so freaking late!)

"Bonjour à vous aussi, chère sœur." Hailey replies, sounding sarcastic. (Hello to you too, dear sister).

"Yeah, we're not French so English please." Simon says.

Alice huffs in annoyance. "We need to go and you two are here playing around!"

Hailey and Alice begin to bicker with Simon adding his stupid inputs. I sigh and sit down on Hailey's bed with my phone in my hand, looking at Mark's texts.

Apparently, Olivia's got a camera with her and she's been taking pictures of everyone all morning.

I guess she's preparing for her photo album. Probably wants some candid photos along with the ones that we took as a group.

"Okay! We're done getting dressed!" Hailey exclaims once she's done lacing up her boots. She's wearing a floral dress with some black boots. Her hair's tied up in a waterfall braid.

Hailey was quite surprised that I knew how to make that type of braid. Yeah, Noelle taught me a lot when we were dating.

Simon's wearing a white button-down shirt and a black blazer with a red tie. You'd think he'd be wearing dress pants, but he's wearing black, skinny jeans with his Converse.
