Roses and Thornes

Chapter 4

Another short Chapter but a lot more chapters to go! 

Haylee jumped in the steamy shower and put her head against the shower wall "Is this really real? Am I dying?" Haylee thought she looked down to look at her own ribs that was very clear to see. Haylee didn't want to think about it much. She quickly used her shampoo and conditioner to wash up. Today was the day. She was going to Florida. She turned off the water and dried off with her towel. Haylee brought some grey pants and a tank-top to wear after she was done showering she quickly threw her clothes on and walked out to the kitchen. Noah was dancing to the music as he put the final pancake on the plate. Noah looked up and stared at Haylee for a second. Haylee started to panic could he tell she has lost weight? "W-What?" Haylee asked hoping he wouldn't notice. "it's just, you look good" Noah said breaking his stare. Haylee's stomach did a backflip "Did he really just say that?" Haylee thought as she smiled "Thanks". The music was still playing as they sat down to eat. "Are you ready?" Noah asked "I am so ready to get out of here" Haylee said as she stuffed a piece of pancake in her mouth. They didn't talk much during breakfast, it wasn't awkward either it was good silence. After Haylee put the last piece of bacon in her mouth she said "I'll clean up" Noah was finished about a minute earlier and was on Instagram. "I will help" they both smiled and locked eyes which caused Haylee to have another butterfly in her stomach. A few minutes later they found each other throwing pancake batter at one another and dancing to the music. In that moment Haylee forgot her problems.

Eventually the moving truck showed, and they packed everything into the truck, it was time. Haylee was excited and wanted to go as soon as possible. Since Noah drove here he would have to drive in his own car and Haylee would have to drive hers. Haylee was driving on the interstate and got a face time call, it was from Noah. Haylee answered. "Hey what's up, you good?" Haylee was only slightly concerned. "Chillax I'm fine I just had a idea, we should go throw your apartment key into a field" Noah chuckled. It wasn't the worst idea after all they did have a 36 hour trip. "Sure, can we do it when we stop for the night?" Haylee asked so she could run somewhere if she had another coughing fit. "I was thinking the exact same thing" Noah smiled as he looked ahead on the road. "See you then, bye" Haylee said as she was about to hang up. "Wait Haylee?" Noah said urgently "Yeah?" "Can we stay on the phone until we get there?" Noah asked. "Sure!" Haylee was excited he asked she didn't want to hang up either.
