Chapter Three

Haylee-

As I’m washing dishes I notice a necklace laying on the counter. Who’s is this? I know it definitely isn’t Drew’s and I know for a fact it isn’t mine. I pick it up and look at it, it was a small gold pendant. It had a infinity sign on it. Is this his girlfriends? I set it back down and continue with the dishes.

I finish drying the dishes and start to put them in the cabinet, as I was reaching up to put a plate up on the top shelf I drop it and it shatters on the floor beneath me. I gasp and crouch down to pick up the mess I had just created. Oh no Drew’s gonna be so pissed if he sees this. Just then I hear Drew’s footsteps and I hear him coming this way. Shit!

“Oh shit, what happened?” Drew asks. “I’m sorry I kinda dropped it. Don’t worry as soon as I get a job I’ll pay for it, but I don’t have any money right now.” He crouches down beside me. “Hey no don’t do that, you’ll cut yourself.”

I pick up another piece and he grabs my wrist making me drop it. Ow fuck I just cut myself. I flinch at the slight stinging pain in my finger. I look down at it to see the blood slowly rising to the surface. “Ah, see I told you. Stand up let’s get you cleaned up.” I rise from the crouching position I was in. “It was your fault...” I mumble under my breath.

He guides me to the bathroom and he tells me to sit down, so I do. I watch him as he grabs the first aid from under the sink. “What about the mess in the kitchen?” I ask. “That can wait.” He said and he grabs my hand gently, then he turn over my hand to adjust the position of my finger. I flinch.

“Sit still otherwise I might mess up. Okay?” I nod. I watch him closely as he applies gauze to my cut. It stings but I can handle it, after all it is just a small cut. “Sorry if this hurts, it might sting a little.” Then he wraps a bandaid around my finger.

“There, see all better.” I stand up, “By the way there’s a small gold pendant on the kitchen counter, I’m assuming it’s your girlfriends. Just thought I’d let you know.” He laughs, “Ah I was looking for that, and it’s not my girlfriends. To tell you the truth I don’t got one. It’s actually my sisters.” I look down embarrassed, “Oh.”

“No worries, thanks for letting me know.” I exit the bathroom and begging heading into the bedroom. “Oh and yeah, thanks for the help.” He follows after me. “Yeah sure no problem.” I grab some clothes and stare at Drew waiting for him to leave. He looks at me for a second then I watch as he realizes. “Oh shit sorry.” He said while exiting and shutting the door behind him.

“You’re pretty slow ya know.” I say while changing into some leggings and some sweatshirt from my closet. Eh whatever it’ll work. “You done yet?” He said through the door. I open the door, “Why are you just standing at the door you creep.” I say annoyed.

“I’ll take that as a yes, and sorry I wasn’t meaning to..do anything like that.” I glare at him. “I swear! Really I wasn’t!” I slip on some shoes and head towards the door. “Yeah sure you weren’t.” He walks towards me. “Where you going?” I turn towards him. “I’m gonna go buy a blanket.” He raises a brow. “You have the money for a blanket but not a plate?” He says skeptically.

“Damn it, I forgot I don’t have any money. Whatever I guess I’ll just use some of my clothes to cover me up.” I said while shrugging. “Here I’ll cover it, but you still owe me a plate.” He said grabbing his wallet and his shoes. “It’s okay I’m fine I can wait.” I said while looking up at him.

“No come on, I’m not gonna have you catch a cold and then I’ll have to take care of your sorry ass. So just stop refusing and come on already.” Damn this guy, he’s so irritating. “Your a real pain in the ass you know that?” He laughs, “Damn already been two days and I’m already a pain in the ass, I must be real good to already be on the level.”

“Yeah well I guess your just a ‘natural’.” I say while rolling my eyes. “I guess I am, now come on I don’t got all day.” He said while slipping on his shoes. I open the door and step outside into the hallway. “Yeah well me either.” We get through the hallway and make our way outside the campus. “Guess we got one thing in common.”

“Hurry up and get in the car.” He said while staring the engine. I hop in and the first thing I feel is the nice warm air. “Okay okay. I’m in.” He stepped on the gas and we began heading to the store. “So what type of blanket you looking for exactly?” I turn to face him, “I guess one that can keep me warm. Whatever works I guess.”

I look out the window and I feel his stare, and it makes the hairs on my neck stand up. “Okay.” I turn to look but he had already turned away. Or was it just me imagining things? I was probably jumping to conclusions like always.

“We’re here, come on let’s go.” He said shutting off the car and then we both got out. We went inside and headed towards the decor and the living area. We were looking and I hadn’t realized it but Drew had left me. I sighed. I continued looking and then I seen what looked like Drew...and a young women? Seriously he’s flirting with some girl when he’s suppose to be helping me pick out a blanket.

Whatever it’s not like I need his help anyway. I can pick out a blanket by myself. Why was I even thinking about this? Was I mad? Why would I be mad. Whatever I just need to focus on finding myself a blanket.

After a couple of minutes I finally found one that was suitable for me and went to go find Drew so I could check out. I found him in the same spot as he was thirty minutes ago, still talking with the same girl. I roll my eyes. I tap his arm trying to get his attention. And right as I did I was given the nastiest look I’ve ever seen from the girl he was talking with. Ugh what a bitch. I can just tell by the first few seconds. How annoying.

“Ah ready to check out already? Here take my wallet I’ll be with you in a couple of minutes.” I watch as he turns back towards the bitch and she gives him a big bright smile. Wow she’s good at being two-faced for sure. I head to the check out and buy my blanket. I was gonna wait but instead I decide to head out to the car. I get in and wait for Drew to return.
