I groan as I rub my forehead. The pounding in my head was excruciatingly painful. Like someone has shoved the back side of a hammer into my head and twisted. My temples were throbbing and my stomach was growling, I swear it was eating itself.

I yawn and stretch my body out. I can feel all my muscles stretching and pulling. My back and arms click and I relax. I freeze when I feel arms wrapped around my waist, trapping me to the bed.

So much for that state of bliss. You know, that one moment that when you first wake up and have no recollection of the past 24 hours. No feelings, just pure bliss. Freedom.

I slowly roll over and come face to face with a very peaceful sleeping Darrell.

I intake a gasp of breath and hold it. A sharp stinging pain is pulling in my abdomen, causing a sizzling sensation to occur.

I try to pry his arm off my waist but he groans in his sleep and pulls me closer to him, trapping me in his arms and squeezes me tightly causing more pressure on my abdomen, making it feel like its going to burst any second.

"Darrell," I whisper in his ear while lightly slapping his face, to my disappoint he doesnt budge.

"Darrell, get off!" I start to push his arms off me but he mumbles in his sleep, something that isn't even english.

"Darrell!" I scream in his ear causing him to jerk awake with a fright and fall backwards onto the floor. I take this chance to bolt to the bathroom to release myself of this pain.

I take a seat on the toilet, not even bothering to close the bathroom door properly. Once I release, I sigh in content.

"You know, if you wanted to pee. You could have woken me up nicely instead of giving me a heart attack babe." Darrell says as he leans against the bathroom door frame.

Surprisingly, it isn't awkward or weird for him to hear me pee or see me pee. I opened myself up to him last night, I told him things I had never told anyone else since moving here and meeting new people. There is just something about him that draws me in and traps me in his arms.

I just can't explain it.

"Yeah, well I tried. Its not my fault you can sleep through anything. Turn." I say and he turns around to give me privacy to complete my business.

I flush the toilet and wash my hands. "You crashed out last night, want to go out for breakfast?" he asks me as he pulls his shirt off and turns his shower on.

I shrug, "Sure, your shout though."

"Why mine?"

"You suggested it," I state with a sly smirk forming on my face. "Hurry up and shower so I can. I need to go to The Warehouse too"

I walk out of the room and hear him mumble random curse words. Ill pay him back, no problem.

I climb back into his bed, I take a deep breath and sigh, the sheets smell like him. Musky and manly. It's been a while since I've had any male attention beside my brother's and dad. Not even my old guy friends from back home talk to me anymore. They were never really friends to keep anyway.

Its not that they even liked me anyway, I know they didn't. Always picking on me behind my back, thinking I would never find out. Being nice to my face and once I turn around they open their fat gob and talk a whole lot of crap.

Of course I'm giving him a lot of my trust and faith. He's already proven to be a good friend.

Ever since Jaylyn-Cole. I gave him my heart. I gave him everything and he tore it all to shreads. He took my heart and crushed it when I didn't see it coming. I thought everything was good, he would always tell me he loved me and that he was going to marry me someday.

Yeah, I know. Stupid teenagers don't know what love is blablabla. That's only the bullshit parents or grandparents say when they are trying to protect their child. Its bullshit. People any age experience love. There is so many different forms of it that you can never be to sure which one you have fallen into.

I can swear on my life I loved everything about Jaylyn-Cole. Unfortunately, my aunty and his mum are best friends so I will be seeing him again even after I moved. But, now I have my chance to go even further. To never see anyone who has ever hurt me again. No one. Not a single person.

Oh, how I love the thought of that.

"Stop thinking so hard, you're hurting my head." I yelp and jump, landing nicely on my butt on the floor.

I stare at him with wide shocked eyes. He bends over and cracks up laughing. He's fucking laughing at me. That bastard!

I stand up and rub my ass. Its not that it hurts heaps, I have cushion on it but it still stings a little bit.

"Douche. Now you're buying me lunch as well." I smirk at him and he shuts up and groans.

"This is a very expensive friendship." he states and shakes his wet hair like a dog.

"You got that right!" I say and get up and go for a shower.

"Baby girl, you look fine." He groans outside my bathroom door. "Not yet! I don't even have my face on!" I yell back through the door.

We are now at my house after breakfast and going to the warehouse. I bought me a whole new wardrobe and decided to wear black and white tights with my black boots and a peach peplum top and a black cotton blaiser. My hair is short and cut just below my shoulder and the color is black and its transferred into a golden blonde/brown at the tips.

I straightened my hair so it is dead straight and apply my makeup, foundation with eyeliner on the top with mascara with blush and red lipstick. I tint my sharply shaped eyebrows to make my blue eyes stand out even more.

I nod in content and open the door. "Ready, lets go." I say and pick up my black bag and see Darrell sitting on the couch on his phone. He looks up and does a double take.

"Woah, baby girl. You look hot!" he exclaims throwing his arms around like a crazy person.

I give him a shy smile, "Thank you. Shall we, sir?" I ask him,

He grins, "We shall ma'dam" he holds out his elbow and I slip my arm through and he leads me out to his truck.

"Where do you want to go for lunch?" he asks me as he pulls out of my driveway.

"Tides?" I question, I have never been there so I should try it. He smiles, "Sure,"

After parking the car on the street, we walk the short walk to Tides. We walk into the small cafe and ask for a table. The tall brunette with grey eyes lead us to a table outside. We sit down across from each other and take out menus.

We scan the menus in a comfortable silence. After we order our meals we just sit there staring at eachother. Trying to eye eachother out. He smirks and crosses his eyes I burst out laughing.

"So, when do we move?" he asks me, my eyes go wide.

"What? You want to?" I ask him, shocked that he has agreed all of a sudden. I narrow my eyes at him, wondering what he's got up his sleeve.

"Yeah, ive put everything I own up for sale, besides my baby of course." I giggle, one cannot give up his favourite car.

I nod, "Yay! Lets go to the agents!!"

"Hold on baby girl!" He reaches out and grabs my arm, "We haven't got our food yet."

"Right,"
