My loneliness is hitting me hard at two in the morning when all I want to do is cuddle someone and possibly make cookies.

This chapter literally makes zero sense.

"Ugh, I hate you" I groan out as I exit the closet

"I should be the one hating you, how could you do that?!" Aurelia argues back with a glare

"You told me to do that!" I argue back

"No, I didn't!" She says, raising her voice in the process to make it more believable

I groan and cross my arms before stomping away from her and plopping on the couch.

"Guys, what's wrong?" Bailey asks from the mattress with a confused facial expression

"Yeah, you sound like a middle aged married couple" Faith agrees from the kitchen

"Would you like to tell them, pillow princess?" She says mockingly causing me to turn around and glare at her

"Since you think you're supposedly right about everything, why don't you" I suggest with an annoyed tone of voice

"Stop being so immature, Hanna, it was just an opinion" Aurelia says with an eye roll

"Oh, so now I'm immature too, make up your mind, Kingsbury" I say as I pretend to go on my phone and message someone

"Guys?" Bailey says trying to get our attention

Aurelia walks over to me and snatches my phone out of my hands like we planned.

"Give that back, you waste of space" I spit acidically as I stand up from the couch

"Come take it from me, pillow princess" she taunts causing me to crack my knuckles

"That's it, you're going to get it" I say as I advance towards her only to be held back by Faith wrapping her arms around my waist

"Why are you guys so mad at each other, you were making out a couple minutes ago?!" Bailey exclaims as she stands in between the both of us

"She said that I kiss like a fish and need kissing lessons" I tell her as I continue to fight Faith's tight hold

"No, I didn't" Aurelia argues back

"Yes, you did!" I say as I attempt to pry Faith's fingers off of me

"No, I didn't, I said that you kiss sloppily and bit my lip five times!" She yells back

"Yeah, before you 'suggested' that it could be fixed with kissing lessons" I say back

"That's exactly what it was, a suggestion" she says slowly as if pronunciating every word that came out of her mouth

"Fuck you" I yell at her angrily

"I would, but you're probably bad at that too" Aurelia comments with a fake smile causing my eyes to zero in on her

"Ugh, I hate you so much, I wish we never even met" I say firmly, stunning both Bailey and Faith

"That can be arranged" she says before grabbing her shoes and exiting the house

Faith lets go of me and makes her way into my line of vision.

"What the hell, Hanna?!" Bailey yells at me

"What?" I say pretending like I did nothing wrong

"You're way too selfish to realize all the people that care about you" she yells again
