A Killer Loves Me

Chapter Eighteen

(Haley's POV After Abbi leaves)

After Abbi storms out I run upstairs and lock myself in the guest room.

I flop down on the bed and bury my head in the pillow. Soon it is soaked with my tears.

How could she be so cruel to me?
What did I do to her?

I've always been there for her, but the second she needs me she just pushes me away. How can she call us best friends, but she won't even let me help when she's upset.

I lay there sobbing for what feels like forever, when I hear a knock at the door. I go over and unlock it.

Jace is standing on the other side, the second he sees my face he pulls me into a hug.

He walks forward pulling me with him, then closes the door behind him. He walks over and sits on the bed, so I sit next to him.

"Are you alright?" He asks as he looks at me concerned. "Yeah. I'm just upset about how Abbi has been acting lately." I tell him.

"How has she been acting? Other than being an ass downstairs." Jace says. "She has just been distant. And like ignoring everyone around her. She acts like she's so hurt and needs help but then when you try to give her help she pushes you away and blocks you out." I say as I get upset again thinking about it.

"It's ok." Jace says as he pulls me into his side. "It's just so frustrating! I try to be her friend and be there for her! But she just pushes me away! It makes me feel like I just annoy her and she doesn't want my friendship!" I say in between my sobs.

"That's not true. She just has a hard time letting people in. Just forget about her for now, it'll make you feel much better." He tells me as he cups my face with his hands. "But she just worries me. I can't help but think about her." I tell him as he inches towards me.

"I could help you forget about her for now." He says inches from my face. "Oh you can?" I ask in a teasing voice. "Yep." He says with a smirk.

He closes the gap between us and connects his lips with mine. I turn to where my body's facing his.

He puts his hand under my shirt and rests it on my lower back. He pulls me closer to him, where our bodies are up against each others.

I tug on the bottom of his shirt so he pulls it off. I trace my fingers over the newly exposed skin. He has multiple tattoos all over his stomach, so I trace them out lightly with my hands.

He moans at my touch, them pulls me into his lap. I straddle him as my hands continue to trace his stomach.

His hands go to my hair. He pulls it as he kisses me causing me to let out loud moans.

Someone bursts through the door.

"Woah guys! Not I'm my house! Ewwww!" Scarlett yells. I just give her an evil look without moving.

"We weren't doing anything." I say. "Yeah. We were just having a friendly conversation." Jace says.

"Well that was a very very friendly conversation then." Scarlett says, which causes us to burst out laughing.

"I came up here to get you Haley. Your brother is here to get you?" Scarlett says. "Oh crap! Which one?" I ask as I jump off of Jace and he puts his shirt on.

"Derek." Scarlett tells me. "Shoot! You didn't tell him guys were here did you?" I asks nervously.

My parents are really strict and don't want me hanging around guys alone until I'm older.

"I didn't have to. He came inside and saw Pat and Coby. And you better get downstairs cause he's really pissed." Scarlett tells me. "Crap crap crap!" I say as I rush downstairs to Derek.

"Let's go, we're leaving." He says angrily. We walk outside quietly, then I get in his car.

"What were you doing there with guys?" He asks loudly as he pulls away from the house. "It wasn't just guys. Scarlett and Meredith were there." I say.

"So! What were you doing upstairs?!" He asks. "Going to the bathroom." I tell him. "I don't believe you. You just better be happy it was me and not mom or dad who picked you up." He says.

We spend the rest of the ride in silence. When we get home I just rush inside.
