Annabelle's POV
I woke up today so exhausted, apparently I woke up late at night to work on my assignment and,  now I have keyboards stuck to my face, I was soaking in my tiredness and that's definitely not something to be proud up. After mentally checking myself I decided I need a long bath, it's been a while I had this luxury.

Heading in the bathroom, I grabbed my towel and my toothbrush before allow the water to run, pouring in my lavender bath wash, did I mention how I love lavender, anyway with that said and done I proceeded to brushing my teeth, after that I turned to off the water that has been running since, before heading back to the room. I sat there for ten mins going through instagram, my normal routine before going back for my bath.

Stepping into the bathtub. The water felt so warm on my skin reliving all my stress, I connected my phone to the speaker I had before resting on the tub, Jason derulo savage love was playing at the moment, while I fell into a deep sleep. I can't believe it too, I actually fell asleep in the bathtub, It just felt so calm at the moment, I was woken up later by the a very loud song, glad that hit me awake.

Drying myself off, I wore my sweatpants and my white crop top with my hair packed in a messy bun, I headed downstairs for breakfast, yep you heard me, breakfast around two in the afternoon, don't judge okay, it's not my fault I slept in the bathroom. I met the maid on her way out, so I ask about my parents and she told me, they were out already,  seriously this means I am home alone, this should be an advantage to me I guess.

I ran to the kitchen going through the cupboard, I grabbed the peanut butter and the bag of bread, spreading it all over my bread, I took another mouth full just because, I poured myself a glass of milk and headed straight to the living room, sitting down on my dads favorite cushion with my legs crisscrossed I turned on the TV and decided to watch me some Netflix, I decided to watch me some riverdale to pass on the loneliness. I was getting bored being at home actually, cause all my friends are in school and it's the middle of the school year, nobody can be home now.

After watching a whole season I finally drifted to sleep, what more can I do when bored, if not to sleep I was deep asleep dreaming about jughead, oh how I love him, he's just so dreamy, before the annoying sound of my ring tone woke me up. Still seeing blurry I picked it up to read the caller ID, it was Sophie, my boo, that's what I call her, it's been a while we actually spoke to each other, I totally forgot about her honestly, she's in law school too with Jason, speaking of Jason I feel like I'm forgetting something, I'll figure it out, oh yeah the phone call.

Me
"Hey Sophie, I missed you" I screamed on the other end of the line.

Sophie
I miss you too baby, how have you been and college huh?

Me
I don't even know where to start from Sophe, it's crazy.

Sophie
Yeah you've been turning it up on instagram, yeah I saw.

She was talking about the video, obviously she would see it, It was all over the news and instagram, guess that's my life.

Me
Oh yeah that, I told you it was crazy so figures.

Sophie
I was just checking in, since obviously you've forgotten about me, I miss your crazy ass. Also have you spoken to Jason?

Me
Come on I didn't, I've just been busy why though, did something happen?

Sophie
You didn't hear it from me, but he kind of sort of dropped out, or I think he decided to take a leave, gap year that's it. I don't know why but you should ask him.

He what, how can he do that without telling me, his dad is going to freak out, what was he thinking?

Me
Where is he now, is he still in school or what?

Sophie
Haven't seen him for a while now, but he should still be in town, hope all is good.

Me
Yeah it is, bye we'll talk later.(hangs up)

I can't believe it, I need a minute, an hour to process this, what was he thinking and OMG I've been so busy this week I haven't even for once return his calls, he must be so mad at me, to even take this kind of decision without telling me, I knew he never wanted to do this, it was always his dads dream, but at least talk to someone about it, does Maddie knows about this, or even Daniel. I should call her now, rapidly typing at my screen I dialled maddie's number.

Me
Hello!

Maddie
Look who's calling, after having a wild night.

Me
Did you know Jason dropped out of college?

Maddie
Oh yeah, he told me like a day ago or so, what's up? Didn't he tell you?

Me
NOO! I screamed before hanging up

How dare he, everyone knows but not me, the nerve of that kid, but I did kind of shut him off for a while, going through my call logs I found his number and dialled it immediately. I am about to give him a piece of my mind. It kept ringing and ringing and still no answer, I tried again for the second time and I still had no answer, is he ignoring or what he better have a reasonable explanation for this.

********
I was still in my room stuffing myself with ice cream, I kept dialing his number but he wasn't even picking up, I sent a text and still no reply, I just couldn't take it anymore, my parents came back later and even they couldn't get to me, I needed time and a break maybe I needed space.  So I decided to call Chad probability of him picking up too should be maybe a 0.1, and alas he picked up, I screamed inside of me before speaking up.

Me
Hey.

Chad
Yeah whatcha need?

Wow he does not sound nice right now.

Me
Can you hang today, I  cut to the chase.

Chad
Sure I'll be there.

And he hung up, he doesn't even know where I am he doesn't even sound happy, covering my face in my pillow I screamed one more time before burying my self on my bed playing games on my phone, an hour later I heard a knock on my door.

"GO AWAY." I yelled.

"There's someone here to see you honey." I heard Molly come to say.

Someone, how, when, what. Last I recall all my friends are in School and I don't know anyone here, who could it be, plus it's already late in the evening, getting up grumpily I went to the door revealing Chad. How? Can what? Can this boy get any more mysterious, how did he find me here, to my house, still shocked I stood there with my messy hair and my jaw drop open.

"Are you going to let me in?" he said looking around to my messy room. With my pillows all on the floor and books shattered, if one was to judge, they'd say I was in a fight, don't blame me but I might have trashed my room and broke some stuffs out of anger so, it is what it is?.

"Sure." I answered still a bit surprised by how he is standing here, in my house, looking tense I shut the door before turning to him.

"What the hell happened here?" he examined before walking towards me,who was now sitting on the bed buried in my pillow,I was starting to think he bailed on me too and that made me scared and fragile all over again. If you've noticed I have a side that tends to get super emotional and scared once I feel threatened and, well it's happening now. He walked up to me cupping my chin,before looking at me for a second, he noticed my eyes were red and well I was a mess.

"What happened, did you take anything Annabelle, talk to me?" he asked.

''Am okay alright, don't worry about me, now about that hang out, can we?'' I smiled ignoring him.

"Have you seen your room, or even look at you at the moment, you're a mess." he said pointing at my mess.

"Well thank you captain obvious, but I don't care alright, just take me out and yeah how did you find me?" I stared at him firmly.

"That's your question, nope we are not going anywhere until you tell me what's going on?" he sat beside me.

"Am okay alright, just had an outburst with my parents because of the party and all." I lied I mean technically i did have an argument with them yesterday that still counts.

"That's not a good way to handle it okay, next time do better." he smiled at me before picking up the pillows to keep on the bed. Before adding "this was truly a mess."

"So are you going to take me out or what?" I teased.

"Oh yeah," he smiled before giving me a peck on the fore head "get ready and meet me downstairs." he proceeded to the door.

"But I'm already ready," I pointed to myself with my top which was now stained with ice cream and my baggy sweatpants. "I'll meet you in a few." I said feeling embarrassed at myself.

I wore a blue floral gown, with a pink sweater over it with my hair still messy, I went downstairs with my sandals, it's just an evening stroll so nothing special, I just needed the fresh air. Reaching there i met Molly with david and Chad playing, oh my god I've been such a scatter brain, I've been home for almost a day and I even forgot about my younger brother, he was just eight months old now, almost to nine so he basically sleeps in still, wish I could have that life, I need a break.

Walking to them, I picked my kid brother up, I gave him a peck before he started drooling all over me and I immediately gave him back to his mother.

"Shall we?" Chad cuts in smiling.

"Sure!" I answered before turning to Molly, who was already giving me the side eye. "This is Chad, I met him from school he's a friend we'll be back soon." I assured giving her the look, I know she wants to ask me a lot of questions but I can't right now and well we're just hanging, I'm still with jason, so no pressure.

We spent the evening strolling around the neighbourhood, before we stopped by the fro yo place, my favourite place to be, we ordered the same thing, cause according to him he also likes my favourite flavour which was strawberry, after that we sat down observing everyone that comes in and goes out, before we decided to get back home, it was already getting late. He dropped me off and i realised it would be risky going back to school by this time, it'll take an hour or so, so I suggested he spends the night.

"It's going to be risky, just spend the night here and then tomorrow we'll go back together." I added.

"You're so difficult, you know that right?" he smiled before accepting "sure."

I told my mom and dad he's staying over and they agreed, obviously i was working on my assignment for the last time, while Chad slept in the guest room, around three in the morning my phone rang it was my message tone, anxious I checked, but it wasn't Jason, it was a reminder to finish my assignment, with that I retired off to bed.
