Uncovered

Chapter 7

I quickly lunge across the bed a snatch the photo out of her hand, placing it under my pillow on my bed and close the box up. I don't care if she thinks I'm being weird, the things in that box are personal.

"What are you doing" Shay asks confusingly.

"I think we've done enough work today" I say walking to my door.

"Kenzie wh-"

"I don't want to talk about it." I say still facing my back to her

"Why?" She ask's.

"Because it's none of your business, ok" I snap at her, turning to face her.

"But, why are you hiding it from me."

"I'm not hiding anything from you" I say feeling annoyed.

"Ok then, who was that in the picture" she asks raising her eyebrow.

"None of your fuckng business." I spit.

"Why not, I thought you weren't 'hiding' anything" she says looking me in the eye, I don't reply to her, I just stand here still and quiet, after a few minutes she walks over to the door and walks out. I want to go after her, but how do I explain my actions to her, I'm not a person to express my feelings with anyone and everyone.

I don't feel like going down stairs and seeing or talking to anyone so I walk to my bed and drop my body on to the soft matress, the sheets against my skin feeling like heaven and making me feel like I could fall asleep in an instant seeing as I didn't get much sleep last night, but I restrict myself when I remember the memories that come to haunt me in my sleep.

After lying down here on my bed for what felt like half an hour just looking out my window I decide to go downstairs, I go to the living room deciding on watching some television seeing as I don't know where Shay is, when I walk into the living room and gasp when I see someone lying down on the large sectional sofa, my heart rate slows down once I notice who it is, it's only Harry. I forgot he was here.

I don't want to disturb him so I go to the kitchen, what better way to get rid of boredom than to eat food, I look in the pantry and find a pack of corn chips hidden on the bottom shelf, I don't know if Anne hid these on the bottom shelf on purpose or not but if she knew me well enough she'd know I'd find them, speaking of Anne I haven't seen her at all today except for this morning, maybe she went grocerie shopping?

I sit down at the kitchen bench and start eating, I haven't eaten since lunch which was twelve and now it's three, so I reckon I have a pretty good reason for eating, just as I'm about to grab another chip out of the packet Shay walks into the kitchen with a restless Billo in her arms.

"He's a bit of a feisty one." She says walking over to me.

"Yeah, he doesn't really like people."

"Well we will have to change that won't we" She says scratching behind his ear. "What's his name?"

"Billo."

"That's such a cute name, I wish I had a dog but mum's allergic."

"So's my brother he hates them."

"We should swap familys" she says laughing and I laugh too. After that it stays silent but not a good silent but an akward silent.

"Sorry about before" I blurt out, looking down at the kitchen bench.

"You don't have to be sorry, I understand if you don't want me to know about your stuff." she says waving me off.

"No I am sorry, I was really rude to you and I a-."
