I'm. Not. Afraid. Of. You.

The next morning I woke up around 7:30 and started getting ready.

When I walked downstairs, Rachel was tapping her fingers impatiently on the counter, then once she saw me she turned around.

"Jesus Christ! There you are come on!", she said and threw her hands in the air.

"Hold the fuck up a second-I can't just walk out of here after being awake for 3 minutes with no type of Go-Go juice", I said as I grabbed a Monster out of the fridge and popped it open before turning back to her.

"Do you have any idea how dangerous that is?"

"Whatever", she rolled her eyes and headed for the door."I'm gunna go wait down at Nicoles-were all there, so be there in like 5."

"Whatever", I called back as I tipped my Monster back and drank a bunch more."Oh hey!"

She turned back to me and leaned against the doorway raising her eyebrows.

"Last week, when we were there, I think I left my jacket there-see if you can find it for me? It's freezing this morning", I said.

"You got it", he sighed.

She walked out and I leaned against the counter where I found a note Mom must of wrote.

"Going to be working late this morning-see you at 2", I read of it then crumpled it and threw it in the garbage.

I really did'nt feel like going anywhere today.

I was running on only 3 hours of sleep because I was up the night before doing work.

I hated everything.

Especially now that I have to do that stupid fuckin thing with the person I hate most in this entire world.

Scoffing at myself, I drank the last of my Monster then threw it in the garbage and walked out, and down to Nicole's apartment.

Once I got there, I knocked then waited a second and Cory answered the door.

"Hey Rory", he said as I walked in.

"Hi kid", I answered and fucked up his hair.

"Hello Lorelei", Nicole's dad, well, one of em-Joey said as he leaned on the counter.
