Chapter Twelve
Madison
It was only noon and I was already done for the day. I wasn’t ready to answer questions about last night that Stella most likely had, but thankfully she was still passed out on the couch. I tip toed to my room trying my best not to wake Stella and quietly locked my door. I wanted to forget this day and I prayed Knox and Jude kept their mouths shut. I know most girls would be upset, but when your body was constantly used without you giving permission, you were numb to the idea of it happening again.
I got snuggled in my bed and set my alarm for the first day of classes for tomorrow. There was no way I was leaving this room today with how I felt. I fell asleep immediately and was only woken up a few times with Stella checking in on me. She knew I liked to sleep my problems away so after the second attempt of getting me to open my door, she finally gave up.
My dream was finally a good one instead of a nightmare. It had Jude shirtless and bending me over in the kitchen. Right when it was about to get steamy, my alarm clock decided to be a dream cock blocker. As much as that asshole infuriated me, I would never turn down a dream of him naked.
I felt good from all the sleep I got and hopped in the shower to get ready. When I got out I decided on my skinny jeans, a lose one shoulder sweater, and my converse. It was casual, but comfortable. I knew most girls would be wearing skimpy outfits to catch guy’s attention, but I just wanted to survive the day without having to deal with that shit on top of it. I needed a break after last night anyways.
I finished getting my hair in manageable waves before Stella busted into my bathroom. “Look she’s alive finally, you know I had to sit all day yesterday waiting to gossip!” She looked like a kid on Christmas waiting to open her presents.
“Nothing happened Stella. I drank a little too much, passed out, and Knox had Jude take me home.” I hated lying, but the truth of that night would kill Stella and I didn’t want to ruin the first day of classes for her.
“Nice try. I was home before you and you didn’t come home. Even Ezra said he didn’t see you in the morning.” She shut her mouth quickly after revealing Ezra was here in the morning.
“Wait a second, back up. What was Ezra doing here until the morning? Oh my God, can I finally not call you my little virgin bestie?” I honestly doubted she did, but it was a good enough distraction to get her off my case.
“No Madison we didn’t. We actually stayed up all night catching up and fell asleep on the couch. Please don’t mention it in front of Knox. If he finds out he won’t believe us and will jump to the conclusion that we slept with each other. Oh my god I can just imagine if I found out you two were bumping uglies, ew I can’t even think of that.” She said in a rush and I can tell she was one second from having a meltdown. She was making it harder for me to tell her the truth. I guess another day wouldn’t hurt.
“Calm down, you’re getting yourself all worked up. As long as Ezra keeps his mouth shut then Knox will never find out.” I gave her a hug and started making my way towards the door. I had to get out there before she switched the conversation back to me.
“Ok you’re right. I’ll see you later in English. I hear we have a young hot professor!” She wiggled her eyebrows and I waved to her before shutting the door.
Chapter Thirteen
Madison
I knew it was probably unlikely of me running into Jude on campus. He was a senior and I was sophomore, I doubted we had any classes together. I knew though whenever I did see him, I owed him an apology. As much of an asshole he is, he didn’t deserve the things I said in the kitchen.
I just don’t get why in the beginning he was pretending not to know me. He seemed pissed off at me and that was before the night at Glow. If anyone should be pissed is me. He left me in that house with that monster, but I knew I couldn’t be mad at him for that because if I just told him what was happening, maybe he wouldn’t have left. It broke my heart that he didn’t even want to say goodbye to me. I knew after that day, I would never care for anyone like that again.
I had Spanish and Biology this morning and this afternoon was English II with Stella. I was looking forward to having a class with someone I actually knew. I had to hurry before I was late since the English Hall was across campus. When I finally got there, I spotted Jude down the hallway in front of the vending machines. I checked my phone and I only had two minutes before class began.
I had to make a quick decision. I didn’t want to be a bigger bitch and just ignore him, but I felt like I might make it worse with a quick apology that might come out half ass. I figured I could quickly tell him I’m running late for class, but later I would like to talk to him.
