I wake the next day and the sun is shining down on me, as my eyes flicker over to the window and I see that the certain is still open. I sit up and notice that I’m still in my clothes and I begin feeling a little confused, trying to remember what happened last night. I turn my body and sit on the edge of the bed before I stand up and walk across the room and into the bathroom. There’s a red mark on my head as I stare at my reflection. It’s small and with a bit of make-up I could cover up the mark but I didn’t remember how I got it and that is what bothered me, not the mark just not being able to say how I got it. below my eyes were huge bags, like I hadn’t had any sleep in weeks and my skin didn’t help that thought as well, it pale, giving me the impression that I was a ghost.
I pull my clothes off and step into the shower, letting the water run a minute before. The war water hits me in the face and I keep my eyes close and I try and find the soap before I begin to wash my hair. I then run my hands over my body to wash it before I raise the soap off me. I then turn the shower off and with my eyes close I try and find a towel. I know there is one on the other side of the room on the radiator across the room and I walk blindly to it before I wrap it around my body. I walk back into the bedroom and pull on a pair of shorts and a T-shirt. I slide on a hoody over it and put on a pair of trainers. I pull my hair into a high ponytail and apply my make-up and, then walk out the room and down the stairs. Selena's sitting down talking to Jesse.
'Oh you're not going to school.' Jesse says. I raise my eyebrows in confusion and pout at Jesse hoping that this face and the flutter of my lashes would let me walk all over him. He walks over and pull me close to him and says. 'You fainted last night so, you're not going to school. You're going to stay here and watch movies.' I glare at him and his lips brush mine.
'I'm fine I just fell, so I have a mark on my head that cares.' Jesse looks a little worried by this. I am one of those girly girls that cares what I look like. I may not act like I do but if I get a spot, or mark on my face I throw a huge fit about it. I knew what I’d said it one of the worst things I could say.
'I do since your parents are not here; I'm the closest thing you have to an adult.' I glare at him and he pinches my cheek before placing his lips to it again.
'And I agree with Jesse for once.' Selena says looking at me a little concerned and she is also getting a little annoyed. Selena normally knows everything wrong with me but for once I’ve left her in the dark and she wants to know what is up with me. she won’t ask but I know she is getting a little impatient about it.
'I have a question I fainted on the sofa I remember falling off and Selena you're not that strong, are you? How did I get into my room?'
'I called Alex, he nearly dropped you because he was so drunk. As you can guess he is very hunger-over this morning. Jesse can you talk to him he's so, damn out of it and you're his best friend.' I bite down on my lower lip as Jesse looks at me before his eyes flicker back to Selena and he asks.
'I tried and he said I should ask Delilah, but she hasn't got a clue.' Selena looks at me. She is even more annoyed about it. I really have no idea what is up with him, I want to know. I really want to know and I have this feeling that it is my fault but he just suddenly flicked back to how he was just after we broke up. I mean I think he was just made with himself that time, and may that is the same reason but Xander is one of the hardest people to read and I don’t know what goes through his mind half the time.
'He said the same thing, did you ruin his ego.' I shrug my shoulders a little, knowing that I would have had to try to do that. He so full of himself that half of what I say just bounces off him. I say.
'I don't know he's being weird lately and made me cry and so I ran out the room.'
'I'm going to kill him.' Jesse says and I watch as his hands tighten up and I rest my hand on his shoulder before turning to face him and saying.
