Forbidden Love (Scrapped)

Chapter 8

I wake up and see it is 5 o'clock. I look up at Adelaide and see her asleep. I slowly move her arm from my back, and then slowly get out of the bed. But, my dumbass steps on a chip bag. Adelaide begins to stir.

"Shhhh," hopefully that works. She turns over and I rub her back, "shhhhh."

I'm treating a grown woman like a baby.

I quietly make my way to the door and look back at the girl on the bed. Still breathtaking. I smile to myself. I would love to stay with her right now. To hold on to her even tired and just sleep with her and feel her warmth, but after last night, we need to distance ourselves for a little bit. I can't have her lose her job over me. She was ecstatic about it. And if anyone knew we stayed in the same bed, cuddling, two nights already, they would definitely take it the wrong way. As much as it is going to kill me to not speak to her as much as I do, it is in the best interest. I can't let this go any farther.

Before going upstairs I go to the laundry room and take my clothes from the washer and to the dryer. After, I head upstairs and I lay in my bed. And it feels cold. Sleeping next to Adelaide was so warm, but this bed has not been slept in all night. I eventually fall back asleep.

I wake up to my phone ringing.

Without looking at the caller ID I answer. "Hello?" I sit up in my bed.

"Where did you go?" Adelaide? She sounds sad.

"I, uh, woke up and I just decided to come back to my own room." I frown to myself. God, this kills me.

"Oh okay. I see. I'll see you later." I know leaving her without saying anything would have hurt her. But I know that if I did it wouldn't help the situation. Or maybe I'm thinking too much and it would have been common courtesy to say something.

I look at the time on my phone and see it is 6:15. I start to get ready. I grab my second uniform. The first is a white button down, the skirt, the jacket, and flats. I also either put my hair in a ponytail or pin it back so hair is not in my face. The second is a red polo shirt with the Sacred Heart crest on the right chest area. Black shorts, and black shoes and it does matter what kind. And the third is a white polo shirt, black pants, and any kind of black shoes. I could change it is at any time, the school requires us to wear one of the shirts and bottoms, I just prefer to wear them like that.

I don't wait for Logan to eake up snd I head to breakfast by myself. I think it is best that I am alone right now. I decided to go to the laundry room and grab my clothes. I probably should hsve grabbed a bag.

As I walk to the dining hall I can not stop thinking about last night. Could not talking to her be a little dramatic? Probably. But is that the only thing I can think of to not let anything happen? Who am I kidding, it isn't like she has feelings for me. Last night was just an in the moment kind of thing. We were in a close, intimate position. Maybe it isn't that I want to risk Adelaide's job, I am scared.

I reach the dining room and I grab me a plate. I sit in the back table in the corner, as any other loner does. I finish eating at 7 oclock. I put my plate and utensils in the dirty dishes bin and walk out of the dining hall. I go over to the pond and sit at one of the benches and call my mom.

After she picks up I say, "hey mom!"

"Oh hey how's my favorite daughter?" I laugh.

"I'm your only daughter."

"Yes, but my favorite nonetheless."

"Well, I am alright," I debate if I should tell her about my nose. "Well, for starters, I received principal trumpet in band!"
