Chapter 3: The Crazies

Melissa's POV

I wake up to sunlight streaming through my window. I open my eyes and have a tiny panic attack. Where the hell am I? I think and than I remember I'm staying at the Preston's.
I roll over but quickly stop because of the pain.

"Fuck!" I groan as I pull myself to my feet. I go into the bathroom to brush my teeth only to remember that I forgot my toothbrush at home.

I go into the bathroom to pee and find a note.

I got some things out for you to use. The purple toothbrush and towel is yours to use. There is also some shampoo, conditioner, soap, face wash and a razor in the shower for you to use hopefully this is all you need. If you need anything else my number is on the table downstairs. I'll be back from work around 4. Love Anne :)

I read the note over and silently thank Anne for everything she has done for me. I grab the toothbrush and brush my teeth before hopping into the shower. Trying to awkwardly shower while keeping one foot out is challenging but I manage.

It's Saturday thank god. Monday I will be starting school again which is something I'm not looking forward to at all. Once I'm done the shower I wrap my body up in my towel and dry off. I put my pyjamas back on and wrap my hair in the towel before going to my room to find some clothes.

I throw on some sweats and head downstairs in search of some food.
I pause on the last step as I hear Anthony talking to someone. Unsure of who it is I continue to hobble into the living room.

"Morning sunshine!" Says Anthony which earns him a heart felt glare from me and I turn to see who he's talking too.

"This is my best friend Jake." Says Anthony and I stare, blankly, at both of them before I turn and go to the kitchen.

I grab a bowl and froot loops and poor myself a bowl and walk back into the living room, determine to get to my room but I'm stopped by Anthony. 

"Why don't you join us? I miss your charming personality." He says cheekily and if my hands weren't full I would've flipped him off.

I felt myself move awkwardly towards the chair as far away from the two boys as possible and I sat down slowly. I started eating my froot loops and could feel two sets of eyes watching my every move.

"What?!" I finally snap as I look up to see two surprised boys.

"What?" Asks Jake and I roll my eyes at his stupidity.

"What do you mean 'what'. You're both looking at me like I'm a new animal on display in the zoo!" I say in an annoyed tone.

I get blank stares from both boys. Idiots. I get up from my chair and bring my bowl to the sink before going back upstairs, half way up I realize I forgot to ask where the phone was so I stop and go back down clumsily. I stop when I hear them talking about me.

"DUDE! she's hot as fuck! Is she actually living here?" Asks Jake and I roll my eyes.

"Ya and she's off limits dude, don't get any ideas. You may be my best friend but I won't hesitate to kick the shit outta you if you try anything with her." Anthony snaps at him and I feel my heart skip a beat. He cares about me.

"There won't be any need to kick the shit out of anyone Anthony. I'm pretty sure I can fend this idiot off all by myself." I say cheekily as I walk back into the living room.

Both their heads snap up to me and I smirk at them.

"Says the girl with a concussion and a broken ankle?" Questions Anthony and I roll my eyes and look at Jake to see his eyes roaming over my body.
