DAY THREE
I woke up feeling really dizzy and I literally just wanted to throw up. I look around and saw no one. I look at the window and the sun was shining bright making me squint and groan. "I hate mornings" I whispered to myself. David comes in and smirks "Well, Good Afternoon little one. Hang over?" He looks at me while forcing to hide a laugh. I glare at him "What even happened last night? I don't remember a thing" I said while holding my head "Can you try to remember?" I glare at him even more "My head feels like its going to explode and you want me to force myself to remember?" He burst out laughing not trying to hide his laughter anymore. "Oh god you were hilarious, my oh my you should be drunk everyday" He throws me his phone. I click on the video and my eyes just widened.
"But dory said to just keep swimming!" I yelled while laying down on my chest on the sand. I can hear everyone laughing. "Lauren get up, this is so embarrassing" David yelled while laughing. I stood up and grabbed a random rock and glared at it "Patrick, I know you're in there" They started laughing even harder when I started shaking the rock violently "Get the fuck out of there!" I started yelling loudly.
"I don't think I can watch this anymore" I said while handing David his phone back. "But I want you to watch the part where you were congratulating a potato for having a role in Toy Story" I shook my head while blushing madly "Im so glad Xander wasn't there last night" He smirks "He came back to watch and he was laughing very hard too. But don't worry, he helped you out because you were crying your eyes out" I started blushing even more. I burry my face in the pillow and groaned loudly. "I am so embarrassed, I wanted to open up to someone and have a decent conversation! Not that!" He laughs even more "So for a long time you just want to congratulate a potato? that was the thing you've been too afraid to say?" He started laughing hysterically. I grab a pillow and threw it as hard as I could. He dodges the pillow easily and winks "Go downstairs if you're feeling hungry okay? I'll go get a medicine for your hangover"
"Wait, what time will we do our activity for today?" I asked. "Well our next activity is a party so that will be later but Xander can't come" My eyes widened "Wait what? but why?" He smirks "He's not feeling well, he has a high fever. He said we should go and do our activity without him instead of canceling it" I shook my head "Lets cancel it then" He raises his brow "Are you deaf? He said to not cancel it do you really want him to beat the shit out of me?" I cross my arms "Well i'm not going without him. We all planned this together, which means we're doing this together" He looks at me for a moment "I'll take care of him" I added. He shrugs and smirks "I always knew you like him" I froze.
Do I?
"No I don't! I just- I just think its mean to leave him behind, to have fun while his alone, sick" I defended myself. He holds his hands up in surrender "I was just saying stop being so defensive, little one" I roll my eyes "I'm not defensive, jack ass" He smirks again which makes me glare "Whatever you say, well you should go and take care of baby Xander now, i'll just go and tell Andrea that the plan is cancelled" He leaves my room.
I look at the clock
1:45 p.m
I force myself to sit down which makes me groan because of the pain I was feeling. After a few minutes someone knocks on my door. "Come in" Lucas comes in holding a medicine and a glass of water "Hey there" He smiles at me and hands me the medicine and the water "Drink it, it will help you with your hang over" I force a smile and thanked him politely. After drinking the medicine I look at him "How embarrassing was I?" I asked while blushing. It took him a few seconds to get what I was saying, he chuckles softly and said
"I've seen worse"
.....
After an hour the headache finally went away. I just finished taking a bath and drying my hair. I leave my room quietly, trying to not make a noise because Xander's room was beside mine. I look at his door nervously.
Should I knock? Or should I just come in? But what if he gets mad? Maybe I should ask David to come inside with me?
I was too busy thinking, I didn't notice David walking towards me. "You okay?" He asked while waving his hand infront of my face. I slap his hand away and glared at him. "Stop that!" He quickly pulls his hand away and yelled "Ow!" He playfully pouts "I'm telling Xander!" He runs inside Xander's room, my eyes widened. I quickly followed him and grabbed his arm "Are you flippin' crazy?" I hissed "He's sick and you're going to wake him up just because I slapped your arm?" He smirks and crosses his arm. "Why are you so protective, ely?" I look at him blankly and tried to think of an answer "Just admit it, you like him" He comes closer to me which made me nervous.
Should I just admit to David that I really do have feelings for Xander?
I was about to talk but got interrupted by a husky voice. "Whats going on?" We both look at Xander who was now sitting on his bed with messy hair and he was wearing nothing but sweatpants. Just imagine how much I was enjoying the view. I literally just wanted to take a picture and keep it forever. David fake coughs and smirks at me.
"How are you feeling? David told me you have a high fever?" He looks at us both. It took me a moment to realize how close David was and It looks like Xander noticed it too. "You guys should be planning on what to do later" Xander said. David looks at me "Well I better go now and leave all the explaining to Lauren" He waves goodbye and leaves me there standing like an idiot.
That asshole
I look down on the floor while playing with my hands. I can feel Xander looking at me, watching every move. "You cancelled the plan, didn't you?" Xander said with a husky voice.
Oh dear god, his voice
"Yes" I whispered. "Why?" He asked. I look at him and glared "Why would you tell David to continue the plan without you? We planned this together which means we're doing the activities together. I don't care if we need to extend for one more week or a month to do the activities okay? I'm also here to take care of you and no, I do not care if you push me away or if you don't need me. I'm still going to be here" I sit on the side of his bed and crossed my arms like a stubborn kid. He looks at me for a long time "Why?" He asked while looking at me suspiciously "Cause i'm fucking hard headed, that's why"
Obviously cause I like you, dipshit
I was surprised when I heard him chuckle. "You're so hard headed" He said while shaking his head and smiling. I look at him and smiled "I was talking to a potato and a rock last night, what do you expect from me?" This made him chuckle again. But then he started coughing non stop. I look at him worriedly and ran downstairs to get water. I grab a bottle of water and gave it to him. He drinks half of the water quickly, I watch his drink water carefully. He looked so pale, his eyes looked very tired. "Have you taken your medicine?" He shakes his head "Well have you eaten?" He shakes his head again. I groan "Why?" He shrugs "I'm not hungry" I roll my eyes "Well you need to eat and drink your medicine"
"I'll survive" He said blankly. I sigh "I'm going to prepare a meal for you"
"I can take care of myself, Lauren" He said. "I know you can, but you're not" He looks at me and looks away "Because i'm feeling okay, so you don't need to take care of me. Just go" I look at him "What do you mean you're okay!? You look like you're going to die any minut-" He throws the bottle across the room "Would you fucking stop? I said i'm okay which means I don't need you or your god damn medicine. Now would you do me a favor and leave my bloody room? Your voice is just giving me a headache" He said while rubbing his forehead. I look at him with wide eyes.
My eyes start to get watery but I couldn't let him see that he made me cry. I quickly turn around and grabbed the medicine that fell and the bottle he just threw. "Okay" was all that I said. I could feel him watching me.
"Lauren...." He said gently. I ignore him and opened the door to leave. "Lauren wait" He said a little louder this time but I kept walking.
I close his door and let the tears fall.
