Jenalyn: A Splitting Personality (#2) [Complete]

Chapter 59: Hayden

Thursday, 7:06 P.M.

I guess I've been out of it for a while...

When I come back to, I'm in Ty's bedroom with him knocked out beside me. Both of our phones sit on the nightstand besides us, flashing with new messages and missed calls.

I grab my phone immediately, my mind suddenly aflame with thoughts after having been empty for seemingly so long. 

Oh wow... it's 7. Where did the time even go? I don't think I was asleep- that certain heaviness you feel upon waking up from sleep is completely absent. 

Have I just... been here? Existing without even knowing I am?

I don't know. Whatever happened though... I'm actually a little thankful for it. Jena's filth weighed down so heavily on me earlier that I felt like I'd drown in it.

Now though? I feel a little bit more myself.

I fall back onto Ty's bed, careful not to wake him as I unlock my phone and check my missed notifications. 

The Goldskateers have been blowing my phone up, of course- but all of the missed messages are on the family thread, so I'm not really worried about responding right now.

The management thread has a couple of new messages- but I'm on vacation and they know that, so I scroll past that, too. 

My eyes land on Gage's thread, which notifies me of a missed call instead of text. I'm quick to open it and start typing a message. 

Hayden: Gageeee. I
was asleep! Everything
okay?
Hayden: I'm at your
place, and Ty's asleep.
PLEASE tell me you're
home! I don't want to
wake him lol

Gage wasn't online, but a few seconds after my last message reads 'sent,' his status go online and he immediately starts typing. 

Gage: I know you
are...? lol I just called
to apologize. Shit got
really out of hand and
I shouldn't have taken
it that far.

I read his message hoping for confirmation that he's home, so I immediately brush past his apology and begin to type back.

That was days ago... he doesn't need to keep apologizing for blowing up after he found out I was pregnant with Ty's baby! That's done with.

Hayden: It's okay lol
I'm sorry to have sprung
it on you like that. Are you
home?

Gage: Not currently.
Didn't know what you 
were gonna do about
Tyler so...  I was giving
you guys some space.

What the fuck is he even talking about, 'what I'm gonna do about Ty?' We already spoke everything out- with the family, and everything... it's pretty set in stone!

I'm pregnant with 'Tyler's baby,' and we're raising it together.

Maybe he was just left out of the loop? Oops.

Hayden: Lol we don't
need space, we worked
it out already! Gahd!
Hayden: Come home
and let's hangout until
Ty wakes up! I'm bored!

Gage starts and stops texting a few times before he sends a message letting me know he'll be here in about 45 minutes or so, but that he's not fully comfortable hanging out until he has a chance to talk to Ty. 

What the fuck? Why is he being so weird?

I toss my phone gently back on the nightstand, confusion fading in and out of my mind as I slowly slide off of Ty's bed to make my way to the bathroom. 

My body is super sore. I know I'm pretty banged up from Rob- but damn, I didn't know it was this bad! 

My hips are killing me too.

I run the bath, adjusting the temperature until it's hot enough to soothe my aching, tense body. Once it's decently full, I remove my clothes and step right in. I practically moan when I lean back into the hot water and let it engulf me.

The last day and a half has just been... crazy. Everything that happened with Rob, and then Dane? And having to tell Tyler all about it?

Would've thought that all it took to make me feel better was a little mind-cation and a hot bath.
