Hannah's POV
When I told Maxi to stay out of my way I didn't actually expect him to. Cleo and him have been buddying up and it's pissing me the fuck off if I'm being honest. How have I become the outcast in my own apartment? Cleo better not be trying anything with him because she's the last person I want to flip on. I feel tired and ill and I'm in the worst of moods right now.

I guess I'm mainly mad because I've never seen Maxi so friendly before. He absolutely hated my guts when we first met and he's instantly clicked with Cleo. I can't really blame him though. People are naturally drawn to Cleo. She has a refreshing innocence about her, not to mention she's fucking gorgeous. Sometimes I find myself being so jealous of her I don't even know why we're friends. I don't ever want to feel that way about someone I kinda care about. I even expressed how I felt about her and she acknowledged it and still wanted to be friends. I don't know if I admired her at that point or disliked her more.

I know it's confusing and sounds weird but I value Cleo's friendship but I'm super jealous of her as well and if the reasons weren't clear before they definitely became clearer to me after the 'precious quality time' I had with Maxi in the car. Cleo is who I used to be just like he said his girlfriend Isabella is how I used to be. Everyone loves Cleo and she's practically an angel, then I look at myself and detest what I see physically and mentally. I have no idea who I am anymore.

"Hannahhhhh." I internally groaned at Cleo's voice. I'm feeling boxed in with three people in this damn apartment and I'm in just no mood to be around those two at the moment.

I curled further into the ball I made myself into and hoped that she would just leave me alone but of course that would be asking for too much apparently.

"Hey! Didn't you hear me calling you?!" She flopped onto the sofa I was in, waiting for a response.

"No."

"Is something wrong?" She asked in concern.

"It would be easier to ask what's actually right with her." Cleo laughed at that but tears started to form and I felt anger bubbling inside of me. Maxi really doesn't know how much of an effect he has on me.

"Whatever." I mumbled weakly. As I said I'm not feeling too good and this is a waste of what little energy I have.

"Don't be a killjoy. We're just playing." I refrained from rolling my eyes and tried to assume my foetal position again but she just wouldn't stop.

"Can you make us something to eat please? We're starving and there's no way to order obviously because of the storm." Sighing I sat up.

"No Cleo. If you and your boyfriend want food so badly you know where the kitchen is." I failed at holding back my venomous tone.

"Of course. This is what it's actually all about. I've told you a thousand times that I have a girlfriend. I only want her and no one else, especially not you so can you stop with this pathetic jealous obsession shit because you're really starting to piss me off." Cleo looked completely shocked after Maxi tore into me and I was going to say something back but I just felt sick to my stomach. Literally.

I jumped up and ran to the bathroom just in time to heave up half of my guts.

"Oh my gosh! Are you okay?!" Cleo followed me and started to fret over me but it just made me very agitated.
