Till Disaster Struck {COMPLETED}

Chapter 13: My nerves

I woke up to the sound of birds chirping outside. I lifted a hand to my face as a rubbed my eyes and realized I had my glasses on still. I looked around and saw I was still in the living room. I felt a chest from behind me move up and down from breathing. Before I turned around I looked down and saw two arms holding me close and my other hand was grasped tightly to it. I turned and saw Alton asleep on my shoulder.

​I had a mini panic in my head before I came to my senses. I slowly moved out of his hold and made sure I didn't wake him up. Once I was standing I quickly looked to see if he was still asleep. I let out a breath of relief when I saw he was and I ran to my room down the hall. Once I was in I flared my arms around to relief my panic.

​I fell asleep with him! What was I thinking? I should have left!

​As I slowly moved out of my panic different thoughts dawned on me. I had fallen asleep. I can never go back to sleep after I wake up from those dreams. I also didn't have some kind dream about the accident like I do every time I close my eyes. I laid on the bed and stared up at the ceiling not understanding anything that had happened.

​​KNOCK! KNOCK!

​I stare at the door not knowing who was on the other side. "Who is it?" I asked and sat up from the bed. Slowly my door opened and Sarah came in tiredly as she pulled Jackie in to. Jackie looked like she was sleeping as Sarah pulled her in with such anger in her eyes. When Sarah got close to the bed she practically threw Jackie on. They both crawled in and hid under the covers.

​"Do you need anything?" I asked trying to push out my thoughts of last night. Jackie had already went back to sleep and Sarah glared at me. She mumbled and it suddenly hit me what they wanted. I stood from the bed and left to the kitchen. I looked on the couch and saw Alton still asleep. I set up the coffee and waited silently.

​I heard a thud from down the hall and my head quickly turns to watch as Alton moved in his sleep. Next thing I know Sarah walks in with a blanket covering all of her but her face and begging dragged behind Sarah, by her foot, was Jackie. I sigh as I poured the coffee for both of them. Sarah took the cup and sat stared down. I leaned Jackie on the wall and waved the smell of coffee by her face. She automatically grabbed a hold of the cup and chugged till she realized how hot it was.

​"Are you trying to kill my throat?" Jackie asked as she waved off the burning in her mouth.

​"Stand up." I said not commenting on her question. I reached out an arm and she grabbed a hold as I pulled her up.

​"How is Alton asleep sitting up?" Sarah asked as she started over at the couch. I turn to see what she was talking about.

"Whoa, hold up he's shirtless." Jackie said when she looked. I suddenly turned red and slowly walked into the kitchen when I looked away. "Layla," she whispered yelled at me. "Come look!" I shook my head and looked into an empty pantry. I felt my face turning red with everything the girls were seeing but I didn't show my reactions.

"I'm going to go stare at him closer." Sarah said and I heard Jackie agree. I turned my head over quickly and I watched as Jackie stood over him creepily and Sarah did the same with her blanket still wrapped around her head.

"Stop being creepy." I said but stayed put in the kitchen. They just quietly hovered over him and had sparkles in their eyes.

"He's so hot!" Sarah said and Jackie nodded. "Oh, what I wouldn't give to be his girl! But I'm so out of his league." She said with such an attitude.

"I'm a wake." Alton's low voice rumbled. Jackie moved away quickly to me and Sarah ran to hide. I watched as Alton smirked and turned to look over at me and Jackie. "Good morning." He said with a hot rumble in his voice. I found myself kind of staring and turning red, luckily for me he was looking at Jackie and how red her face was.

"Morning Alton, can we pretend that what just happened didn't... happen?" Alton nodded and Jackie let out a sigh and sat down with her coffee.

I turned my back to him before he could look at me with those blue traps of his. I felt my hand shake slightly and my heart was pounding. I couldn't concentrate on anything and the only think I could think of was the image of Alton in my mind. In the thought he towered over me with his shape blue eyes and his smirk it was almost haunting to me.

"Good morning." I heard close to my ear. I glanced over to the table and saw Jackie with her back facing away from me. My lips couldn't form any words and the only action I could do was nod. "Are you okay?" he asked I heard Alton's voice rumble so close to me and it sent shivers down my back.

"Y-yeah." I stuttered and noticed my hand started to shake.I held on to my hand to stop the shaking or at least hide the small movements

"Do you want any..." I turn around to watch as Alton put a shirt on and then I was trapped in his blue eyes. "C-coffee?" I asked and he smiled.

"No, I'm good." I nodded and was able to slowly move my head away from his gaze. I heard his footsteps move away from me and I grasped onto the edge of the counter tightly till my knuckles turned white.

"Wow, you're crushing hard." I heard Jackie say. I turned my head over to her and I saw her smirking as she lend on her hand.

"No," I said with a scuff. She giggled and she stood up to placed her hands on my shoulders.

"Alright, if that's what you say but a person's eyes never lie." I cleared my throat and turned away from her.

"I'll be in my room, don't call me out unless someone or something is on fire." I kind of raced to the end of the hall with my head down.

I closed myself into my room and let out a breath. It felt better to be away from people and my thoughts are finally settling down. I back flopped onto the bed and stared up at the ceiling. I don't really understand why I was behaving the way I was. But I felt like I was going to fall over if Alton got any closer. What if, what Jackie said was true? Could I actually have feelings for Alton? I don't even know the first think about these kinds of things. And if I did in the past it's completely left my mind. I can't really like him I haven't known him long and for most of that time I was ignoring him.

He's arrogant! He's hot and it's actually quiet angering how hot he is! He flirt with every girl he see's! He's annoyingly right all the time! He doesn't know the definition of personal space! And over all I'm constantly feel angry and annoyed by him!

But when I talk to him when he's not being so stupid I always see this look in his eyes that traps me and keeps me wondering why isn't he like this all the time. He's just so irritatingly confusing! This isn't a crush for sure, if anything it's my anger finding a different way to boil over. That can happen, right?
