Maceys pov

This is just a dream, yeah just a funny trick that my mind is pulling. Ah, I'm literally really close to my breaking point I'm about to blow and burst out with tears. It's like one of those dreams that you end up naked at school and you want to go home but you can't because it's a freaking dream but you really want to wake up and so you do and that's the best part you wake up.

I pinch myself multiple times but nothing I'm still in Alex's room trying to find my shirt but I guess my stupid self didn't bring one and now I'm in this current situation I think I'm crying I don't know because my eyes feel sore and I just don't know anymore. I hear the door open and I wipe my face with my hands I clear my throat but I don't get to say anything.

"What's wrong?" I didn't turn around I just kept rummaging through my bag I think I'm acting normal. "I could hear you crying" I face him but his already really close to me, I hang my head down but with one quick move I'm facing him again his finger was on my chin I was literally frozen I didn't move.

"This is really silly" I laugh but sniff at the same time this is ridiculous I can't tell him I was crying because I didn't bring a shirt with me. "Don't laugh at me, okay" he nods his head but that's not what I was looking for.

"Promise me, because I've been laughed at so many times and I hate that." He rolls his eyes and sighs he drops his hand. "I promise" I shake my head and he sighs Louder, what's with us and sighing?.

"Say it like you mean it" I cross my arms and I wanted to laugh because that's exactly what he said to me when he asked me to be his fake girlfriend.

"I promise" I take a deep breath and at this point I don't care if he laughs, even though he promised because I know that it's ridiculous Now that I think about it.

"This is ridiculous" I whisper, I'm pretty sure he didn't hear me but this is pretty ridiculous. "I forgot my shirt at home and Umm well I don't know how I'm going to go to sleep without a shirt so that's why I was crying because I was afraid that you'll make fun of me or-" Alex covers my mouth and shushes me.

"You ramble to much" I shake my head and he takes his hand off my face.
He rolls his eyes and walks towards his closet I see that he took out a black shirt and walks back to me.

"Here" he gives me the shirt and pushes me towards the bathroom.
"There's shampoo and whatever girls use to wash themselves so just hurry up cause I'm sleepy" I close the door and begin the shower.

Alex pov

She closes the door on my face and I hear the shower running. I hear a ding and it's Maceys phone. It's probably her mom or one of her friends but it keeps dinging.

I walk over to my bed and grab her phone I see three text messages from her mom and five from an unknown number and the other two are from Ana.

Mom☠️

Honey I took the night shift again.

Mom☠️

Call me when you get home from the party.

Mom☠️

I have a date so I won't be coming home tomorrow.
