Choices

Chapter 68

I'm on vacation so sadly no desktop computer to write on but I still have my phone so if there are some mistakes please just ignore them! The song is Somebody Told Me by The Killers!

(Hopes POV)

     I felt a pair of eyes staring at me in my sleep. I open my eyes up and slowly sit up in bed. I lean over and turn on the bedside lamp and look around the room. My heart drops as I see Jordan leaning against the wall on his phone. He looks up from it and gives me a smile.

     "Go back to sleep baby girl. Just making sure that you're alright after the crash is all." I stare at him in both shock in wonder. This isn't real, this is a dream.

     "How did you get-" he chuckles which made me stop talking. He puts his phone in his back pocket and walks over to my bed.

     "Don't worry about it my love. All that matters is I'm here. You know you talk in your sleep? Honestly pretty adorable." He kneels down next to the bed and brushes the hair out of my face.

     I look at him confused, if we were in as bad of a car crash as Tyler said we were, why does he look completely... normal? No cuts or scratches, not even any bruises.

     "I thought we were in a car crash? Why aren't you bandaged up or at least have any bruises on you?" I ask. He softly smiles and kisses me on my forehead.

     "I cleaned myself up to make myself presentable to you. I'm alright, don't worry about me, look at you, does this hurt?" He asks as he brings a thumb up to the cut on my forehead. I shake my head no.

    "Well, go back to sleep. You have a big day tomorrow." He kisses me on my forehead once again and stands up.

     This isn't real, I have to be dreaming. He smiles at me and walks out of my room. I want to go follow him, but it's like something's holding me back. Why didn't I kill him when I had the chance?

     Someone softly shook me awake. I open my eyes and see that it's barely day break out. Maybe it was a dream, I mean Evan and Craig had watch last night, nobody would've stood a chance coming in. I look over and see Autumn already dressed for the day with Brock behind her.

     "We're leaving early because Evan and Craig just went to bed. Ryan's keeping Holly here for some fucking reason and... well... Jon's still trying to prevent me from going. We're leaving before anyone wakes up and notices we're gone." Autumn says turning on my lamp. I sit up in bed as Brock is already going through my drawer for my clothes.

    "I'll be fine wearing my shorts and shirt that I'm wearing now. I'll change when we come back, just hand me my high tops." I point over to my shoes right next to the dresser. Brock grabs a pair and hands them to me.

     "Did... anyone come in last night? Or did anything happen to Evan and Craig while on guard?" I ask as I slip on my shoes.

     "No, why do you ask? Did Jordan or Seth come pay you a visit or something?" Brock jokes. I get up and grab my phone.

     "I don't know if I was dreaming or what, but Jordan did, and the weird thing is... the last thing he said to me was that I have a big day tomorrow, we'll I guess today." I shrug my shoulders and walk out of my room. Autumn walks closely by my side as Brock also walks closely behind me.

    "You guys don't have to be so close to me. I'm alright you know, everyone's asleep right now so there's nothing to be worried about." I chuckle quietly. Autumn throws her arm out and stops me as the front entrance door closed. I mentally slap myself, Brian's morning run, how could I forget about that?

     "He just left when I got up, what is he doing back?" Brock whispers to us.

     Brian rounds the corner and looks at the three of us. He crosses his arms and looks between Autumn and I.
