Chapter 8

Twisting and turning in bed is not what I expected.

But hey! At least I was suprised. Not really, I'm irritated.

I can't sleep, Because Ashton is't here, That sucks major balls. 

Sighing I sat up and rubbed the back of my neck, I looked around the room and stood up from the bed. I went to the window that stretches from the ceiling to the floor and Looked down at the garden. 

Our room is best in the house, It has a magnificent view of their garden and the familiar forest.

I haven't got out of the mansion yet, But I can roam around the mansion. 

I promised Ashton that I will stay and I will stay. For the sake of Jordan's safety and for the sake of my freedom, well slight freedom. Ashton told me that I couldn't roam around the mansion walls until that he knows that Jordan wouldn't come here to retrieve me.

Before you judge me that I'm a bitch for not trying to run away and come back to Jordan, I'm doing this for him, Ashton can hurt him and cause major damage and might be the cause of his death, I don't want that. 

I owe him, a lot. He was the one who took care of me when I was at my weakest, he's like a brother to me, Jeyden also. 

And I think that he'll be happy for me when I stay here, I'm learning how to like someone. Isn't that what they were signalling me to do?

Isabelle and Monica has been telling me that "I have to like someone and grow up, have puppy love, a crush , a boyfriend or even a fling" thats what they say. So are they pointing out that I need to like someone? and I would be happy because of that?

I sighed, snapping out of my toughts. I'm thinking too much, I wouldn't get to sleep this way.

I sat on the bed and closed my eyes, I'm still confused about the word beloved and mate. I heard the word mate come out of Ashton's mouth but no one would explain what it mean't, also Alpha or beloved, What does it mean?

***

I woke up with my back aching. I stood up and stretched, I fell asleep last night sitting. I groaned and got a towel, I went into the bathroom and stripped from my clothes.

I stepped into the shower, my muscles relaxing from the warm water. I scrubbed myself clean and used a strawberry scented shampoo.

I dried my body and hair with a towel and changed into shorts and a black hoodie. I went to the kitchen bare-footed and made cereal.

Munching on the cereal I looked around for any sign if that Hayley was here, but theres nothing.

I heard a loud thump so I suddenly stood up, I left my cereal and went to the staircase running up the stairs and at the second floor where I'm sure the sound came from.

I saw Hayley on the floor, her face twisted in pain.

"Don't worry about me" Hayley groaned out while clutching her side, I gasped helping her up "What happend?" I ask her while guiding her into a room, well her room because with all of her pictures hung around.

"I woke up and walked out of my room to what greet me?! The Damn table to block my way and attack me! Look what it did to me!" she gestured to her side and I laughed.

"Do you wan't me to bring you breakfast?" I ask her and she nodded.

Walking out of her room I went into the kitchen and I got my bowl of cereal and placing it in the sink.

I got the jar of nutella, a bunch of loaves of bread and a butter knife. I went up to her room where she was reading a magazine, when she saw me walk in she clutched her side and groaned. I rolled my eyes and placed it on her night stand.

I sat on her bed.

She glanced at her night stand and looked at me, she sat up, patting my thigh "Your a good friend" she sighed while getting the jar of nutella and taking the lid off, jabbing her hand in and eating the nutella.

I laughed while patting her head "Thats a way to start your morning" I tell her and she nods at while doing a thumbs up while nutella is still coated on her hand, I giggled slapping her hand away "That's gross" I tell her and she shrugs.

"Do you want to go watch some movies?" she asks me and I nod "After I eat we'll go to the theather near here, but I'll take a shower first" she mumbles that last part while shoving another handfull of nutella in her mouth.

I shook my head walking out of the room and into my and Ashton's room in the third floor. I got out some Black converse shoes and I brushed my hair, leaving it down in waves.

I applied Cherry Chapstick, where I found in Hayley's room, on my lips and smiled at my reflection. At least I didn't get eye bags from last night.

I went down to the second floor and knocked again "Are you finished taking a shower? or eating?" I ask and I hear her grumble while opening the door.

Her hair is still wet from the shower and the loaf of bread and butter knife is still on her night stand, but I did see the jar of nutella in her garbage can.

"Let's go" she drags me out of her room and down the stairs, into the living room where she plopped down on the sofa.

"I thought were going to the theater?" I ask her and she nods while holding one finger out, telling me to wait for a second.

A few minutes later she jumps up "Let’s go" she mutters while going out of the mansion and into her car, I slipped into the passenger seat and she already started the car, without me buckling my seatbelt.

She was driving mad fast so we reached the theater in no time.

"Dude!" I yell scared, she looked at me "What?" she asks while leaning back "You were driving fast! We could have gotten a speeding ticket! I even think we ran over a cat!" I yell while doing hand gestures with my hands.

"You think" she wags a finger at my face while she unbuckles her seatbelt. She opens her door and jumps out of the car, leaving me gaping.

I shook my head, jumping out of the car.

I ran just to keep up with her pace "Are you on your period?" I ask her and she shoots me a glare, making me raise my shoulders and grin. "No, no I'm not! I'm just angry" she tells me while slowing her pace.

I sighed in relief, running makes me super tired, "Why are you angry?" I ask while putting a hand on my waist. 

She shook her head "It's about work, you wouldn't understand" she tells me while we enter the theater.

Hayley furrows her eyebrows but shakes her head "What movie do you want to watch?" she asks me while we fall in line for tickets, "I want to watch the hunger games" I mutter while looking at the available movies.

From the corner of my eye, I can see her nod.

I look around until my eyes fell on the snack bar, I grinned, tapping Hayley's shoulder and she shot me a questioning look.

"Can I have money? I'm going to buy snacks" I tell her and she nods, handing me a fifty. "Buy me popcorn and coke" she orders and I salute.

Walking to the snack bar I ordered Two big buckets of popcorn, coke, rootbeer, skittles and lickerish. I paid the cashier and walked off.

I searched around for any blue-eyed blonde.

"Hey" a guy waved at me and I waved back, I'm trying to be friendly here, It's rude to ignore someone whose talking to you "Are you looking for someone?" he asks while standing in front of me, I nod still searching for Hayley "I'm looking for my friend, have you seen a blonde with blue-eyes?" I ask him and he shakes his head "Are you looking for a barbie?" He asks me and I raised my eyebrows, barbie?

"Well Barbie is behind you" I hear Hayley's voice so I looked past the guy's shoulder to find her arms crossed.

"Jessica, what have I told you about talking to strangers?" Hayley asks me while raising an eyebrow, I shrug "Nothing" I tell her while walking to her and giving her the popcorn and coke she wanted.

"But you should know that you shouldn't talk to strangers" she tells me and I nod, turning around and facing the guy "I'm not allowed to talk to strangers" I tell the guy and he laughs.

"Your cute" he tells me while pinching the bridge of my nose, making me scrunch my face up. "I'm not cute, I'm Jessica" I tell him and he laughs again.

"Okay, Jessica. I'll see you around, Bye Barbie" he waves at Hayley while saying barbie, making Hayley glare at him hotly "And my names Andy" he yells when he was about to leave the theater.

"Andy's a girls name" Hayley snorts and I nudge her "Let's just go and watch the movie" I tell her while munching on the lickerish.

She nods while we walk to the cinema room where the Hunger Games movie is on.

"Happy Hunger Games and may be the odds all be in your favor"
