In his eyes.

Chapter four

I wake up and I cover my eyes with my forearm as I groan to the sun. I sit up and walk over to his on suite. I've must've crashed here overnight.. god Emily, you bad girl. I should text mum.. I wash my face and remove what's left of my panda eyes and I sit back on the edge of his bed, rummaging through my hand bag to get my phone, I look to the side of me and see a picture frame on the bedside table.. a girl.. a very attractive pretty girl.. who is she? and why is she looking at Isaac like that..? What the fuck.. I look down at very outcold Isaac, and I look back at the picture, beginning to put my clothes back on from last night. She's got long blonde hair, petite and what seems.. tall. The picture unfortunately is in black and white and I can't tell the colour of her eyes or skin or the clothes she's wearing.. I hear Isaac stirring next to me and he pulls me from behind and groans sleepily "hello beautiful.." I can't take this.. I have to know..
"Who is she?" I begin to feel angry, and quite upset. He sits up and looks at me inquisitively and looks at the picture frame.
"Oh.. we're on a break.." I look at him in disgust, am I just a rebound? Does he think he can just get what he wants from me?! I'm such an idiot.
I storm out of his bedroom, holding my belongings and go to open the front door and he's behind me, holding it shut, I swivel around so he's infront of me, face to face.. so little room, I can barely breathe.
"What's wrong Em? I told you, we're on a break.. I wanted to see you. Please stay for breakfast."
No way.. he didn't just call me 'Em' only my friends call me 'Em' and right now, he's no friend and I don't think I like him much either.
I shake my head, push his chest away from me and I shut the door behind me, I go down his staircase quickly and make an escape of the apartment block.

I catch the next train to Bristol and called Laurence to pick me up. He didn't answer so I left a voicemail and hope for the best. Once I'm on the train my phone buzzes, I look down at my screen and answer Laurence's call,
"Hey Em! What's up? I'm coming now"
"Hi, I'll tell you over a cup of tea, please" I'm trying hard to hold back from my watering eyes from tearing.
"Sure, I'll see you shortly"
I hang up first and look out the window. I texted my mum I was alright when I got to the station, and she texted for me to come home as soon as possible and to also bring home bread.

I wait outside the station as I see Laurence's red voltswagen golf pull up infront of me, I hope instraight away and I spill all my feelings on the car journey back, that tea will have to wait. I tell Laurence everything as he's parked outside my house and he sighs.
"I know.. I'm so foolish.."
He laughs a little and replies "no way, I just can't believe it, what a jerk!"
I look over at Laurence and see the pain in his face, I look back down to my lap.
"I shouldn't of gone. It was a bad idea." He looks at me and then grabs, rubs my shoulder, I look back at Laurence.
"It'll be okay.. you don't have to talk or see him again." He smiles a small smile at me. I smile and open the car.
"Aren't you coming in? For tea?" I say to him, seeing he's still got his seatbelt on.
"Uh.. no I'm sorry, I've got some stuff to do, but I'll catch you later?" He says, in a low tone. I nod and shut the door, going inside after waving bye.
