I'm not fine ~ Randy

Chapter 22

I could feel Rye's intense stare at me while I was walking beside Connor, but I refused to look back at him. I kept my head down and eyes glued to the floor.

I followed beside Connor and I could feel him take my hand in his. I flinch and tense up, but act like nothing.

I lead him to my bed and we sit down. He let go of my hand and move his hand to my naked thigh instead.

This just makes me more uncomfortable and I tense up even more and slightly move away. I had forgotten I'm only in a hoodie and shorts.

I try to push down my insecurities and suck it up to try and avoid sprinting to the bathroom to change. I can still feel Rye's eyes glued to me, watching me like a hawk.

I gently lift my head and briefly look him in his dark, brown pools. They're filled of confusion, questions, and most of all worry.

His eyes briefly flick down to Connor's hand on my thigh and when he looks up again his eyes hold the slightest bit of anger and jealousy in them. Why is he angry?

There is also something in his eyes that I can't identify, but before I can delve into it my thought are interrupted by someone clearing their throat.

I look to the person and discover that it's Caroline. Her eyes also hold anger and when our eyes meet I can feel the threats behind them.

"Remember the plan. You and Connor are going to pretend to be in love so Rye can stop caring about you and get back with me"

I take in a long breath and slowly exhale to make my body relax. When my body is completely relaxed I take my feet up on the bed and turn my body so I'm facing Connor.

I wrap my arms around his arm that is resting on my thigh and place my head on his shoulder before snuggling into him and make myself comfortable.

I can hear the others begin talking, but a sudden wave of exhaustion takes over me and not before long my eyes have closed and I've fallen asleep.
