The Guilt Consumes

Chapter 17

I wake up to my alarm blaring out. I groan and turn to the side to switch it off. I stretch my arm out to turn it off on my bedside table, where my phone would lie but my arms just fall. I sigh and roll further towards it with my eyes closed to fall on the floor. I wince in pain and finally open my eyes. I'm on the floor with the duvet in a big heap of mess on top of me. I lie flat on the floor feeling annoyed. I clench my jaw as yesterday's conversation floods back in small snippets. I groan in frustration rubbing my eyes. I don't know what Tuesday morning will bring but god please nothing bad.

"Turn that shit off" I hear a deep voice and I soon realise I'm in Leith's room. I sit up and turn it off. I look towards his bed and frown.

"Don't you have work?" I ask him and he grunt in response. I shrug and get up. Dumping my duvet in a pile on the bed and walk out of the room getting ready to start off the day. I shut the door and bump into the wretched woman herself. I roll my eyes and spare her a glance. She smiles at me.

"Good morning Blythe" she greets me.

"Well it was, up until I saw you" I sassily reply back and walk past her. I hear her sigh and then go back to her- I mean my room. I shower and brush my teeth. I walk out and go into my room to see it empty. I brush out my hair and tie it in a pony tail. I grab a pair of black ripped jeans and a fitted red cotton crop top. I put my leather jacket over it to complete the outfit. I slip into my red vans and go over to my vanity table. I apply mascara and pink lipgloss as well as concealer around my eyes. I'm about to pick up my favourite perfume when I see it missed placed. I never leave it away from its place. I frown in confusion and then shrug. I pick it up, spray it on me and then put it back to its rightful place. I grab my bag and walk out shutting the door. I then see Leith groggily walking towards the bathroom. I cringe at the sight.

"Gosh, put a shirt on. You're scarring me" he smirks at me and then points at his abs.

"The girls love this" he says in a cheerful mood.

"Don't you have a girlfriend?" I ask him with my eyebrow perked up in questioning.

"Yeah, But still. The girls love this, especially Rebecca. God how I adore that woman" he says in a daze. I look at him weirdly and shake my head. He's still in a daze as I walk past him. I run down the stairs to see dad reading a newspaper as he and Sue talk and laugh while flirting. Yeah, strictly friendship my ass. I roll my eyes and dump my bag on the floor. I begin to get out my cereal bowl and my favourite cereal to find it finished. What the-

"Who finished my cereal?" I ask no one in particular. I look back to see Sue looking down. I knew it was her. "And I suppose you also used my favourite perfume as well without my permission?" She sighs and looks up.

"I'm sorry Blythe" she apologises and I know it's an act.

"No you're not" I tell her bluntly and walk to the fruit bowl.

"Blythe" My dad calls me in a warning tone. I huff out in impatience and grab a banana and grab my school back while walking towards the front door. I'm soon stopped by Leith.

"Leaving already?" He asks me as he reaches the landing.

"Yeah, I can't stand to be in the same room as her" I tell him while leaning against the staircase railing. He laughs shaking his head.

"Hey that's my mum you're bitching about" he tells me teasingly and I roll my eyes but still smiling. I playfully glare at him but to him I look serious. "Too soon?" He asks me grimacing.

"No shit" I reply back and he laughs.

"Sorry not sorry" he says before walking towards the mirror and doing his tie.
