I decide to finally get out of bed and shower after I don't know how many days. I haven't been out of my bed  since Saturday's incident with my family.
All I know is, Bella would bring some food and a small note discreetly, every now and then. She would write some crazy jokes. I don't know what I would be without that human.

These days had been so strange, I was like a zombie.
I had forced myself to feel nothing at first, but when I woke up all shook from a nightmare I couldn't even remember, I started crying. Snippets of some memory with mom came back running. I was so angry at myself because, now her face was blurry. It felt like I was betraying her.
Every time a small memory came back, I would cry so much, not being able to stop myself. I didn't know I had these much tears in me.
I had made it a point to make my room dark, which didn't help either. Now I didn't even know what day it was.

I look around for my phone but can't find it on my stand or anywhere near the bed. I note to myself to ask Bella as I make my way to the bathroom.
I take a long bath, washing my hair intensely.
When I am done cleaning up, I make my way to the living room. Standing in the doorway, I find Bella sitting in the living room watching a cartoon.

"Hey!" I say .

" Hey!" She responds with a small surprised smile.
" Hungry? There's a leftover pizza in the fridge, I can warm it up." She adds as she makes her way to the kitchen.

"No I am good, I will just get my ice cream." I say following her.
I couldn't afford to eat anything these days. Normally when I was too emotional, I was nauseous. When Mom died, I lost about six kilos but that time, the doctors said it was a type of severe depression.

" At least one or two pieces. You haven't really eaten since Sunday." She says putting the pizza in the microwave anyway.

" speaking of, what's the day today?" I ask her curiously.

" Uhh, Thursday?" She says confused probably wondering how I didn't know.
" Oh right, I had your phone." She says when she connects the dots.

"Right." I simply say as I take one piece of pizza she places in front of me.

" okay so don't be mad." She says scratching her hair giving me a shippish look.

" What did you do?" I say lazily staring daggers at her, munching on my food slowly.

" You know how I don't how to lie? So I might have told Dylan that you weren't in your element lately. But the good thing is, I-" I cut her off mid sentence.

" But why would you do that?" I say in annoyance.

"I didn't tell him the reason though. That's a good thing right? Also they had been trying to reach you all of these days, you know I can't lie to Dylan." She rambles nervously.

" Okay fine. I'll let you off the hook this time." I say shaking my head. They were bound to know anyways .

" They might be on there way right now?" She adds whispering.

"What? No." Now, I was starting to get mad.

" They insisted on taking you out for ice cream, what was I supposed to say? The reason you can't go-"

" fine fine." Actually, I could use some light?

We had about ten minutes to get ready, so I just change in some big grey sweatpants and a blue hoodie.
I sit in the living room checking my notifications as we wait for them.
My phone was bursting of Dms of Dad and Paul plus a hundred more harassing messages of Dylan and Logan.
Dylan calls Bella and tells her they are there so we go down.
Logan rolls down the driver' seat window when they see us approaching.

" Bella baby, I missed you." He says with his head out annoying his brother.

" Me too baby, me too." Bella replies smiling battling her lashes.

" haha, funny. Ivy you are sitting with me at the back." Dyl says pulling my hand to him.
I smile at their altercation. At least they were acting casual. I was appreciating the attention not being on me for a while.

" Common baby, you know we are messing with you. But I did miss him a tiny little?" Bella says as she closes the front door then Logan starts driving us out of the parking lot.

" Don't talk to me." Dylan tells her before he turns to face me.
" So, trouble in paradise?" He says acting all serious.

" yeah." I say shortly not looking at him.
"You in my business, is the trouble." I add turning to him to watch his reaction. I burst out laughing when
He leaves his mouth hanging in shock. We all start laughing at him simultaneously.

" Sounds like boy trouble to me." Logan says when we stop laughing.

" Boy? Y'all are tripping. You know I don't fuck with that." I say rolling my eyes.

" Bro, we know you fuck this and not with." Dylan says pointing to his pants.
" But you think we haven't noticed you've hung out with that Kaiden guy for more than once?" He says poking his finger on my shoulder.

I immediately look at Logan in the front mirror feeling betrayed. He was the only person who could have seen me with him last week end.

" I had to come clean, He was suspicious. Also, was it a secret?" Logan says giving me an innocent look in the mirror.
He had a point though. Why would I be bothered by them knowing? It wasn't a big deal anyways.
Bella turns from her seat in front of me and taps on my head.

" ouch, dude what the hell?" I say rubbing on the spot she just tapped.

" Bitch, this is what we doing now? Hiding things?" She says fully looking at me now.

" y'all taking it the wrong way, the fuck! We've only hooked up twice." I say casually before realizing I made it worse.

" Hooked up twice?" Dylan and Bella say at the same time in shock.

" technically, just made out?" I say uncertainly trying to rectify what was quickly escalating.

" Okay kids, we are there. We'll happily get back to your sexual life, inside." Logan says unlocking all the doors.

I quickly get out of the car, happy I wasn't going to explain myself on something that chill. Like it really wasn't that big of deal right?
As I am in awe of the place they had brought me to, I catch sight of a group of four tall guys making their way to the entrance. Looking at the guy at the left I realize he really looks like Kaiden?
