banged her.”
“ Emilie I said I hated you. Past tense. Which means that I
don’t now…. although I’m starting to again.” He mumbled the last
part which got him a punch in the arm from me.
I looked up at
him with accusing eyes. “So what made you hate me if you didn’t
even know me? That’s called judging Jared.” I pointed
out.
Both his eyebrows
rose all the way to his hairline in shock. “If I recall correctly,
you thought I would kill you if you came into contact with me. You
didn’t know me either.”
I held up my
hand. “I heard enough stories to know what you were like and you
didn’t help to prove those stories wrong when you would walk down
the hallway with that scary frown on your face.”
“ So
you judged me by stories and you’re getting mad at me for judging
you too? You’re being a hypocrite Emilie.”
I ran my hands
down the length of my bare thighs in aggravation because
he was right. “So that’s what made you hate me? Rumors?” I asked
finally. But what rumors would make him hate me? I don’t remember
doing anything bad to anyone. I always tried to be nice to
people.
“ Something like that.”
I spun my head to
face him. He was staring intently at me but looking calm at the
same time. It bothered me because I was a mess over here trying to
figure out what was said to him.
“ What
did you hear and from who?” I decided to ask because I was curious
now.
He sighed running
a hand down his face. “Emilie it doesn’t matter. Just drop
it.”
I shook my head
and moved closer to him. “No I want to know! Just tell me, I won’t
be mad I promise!”
He gave me a long
look before caving in with a slump of his shoulders. “It was a
stupid one night stand with that girl Anna you are always with. She
was saying all this shit about you and one thing she said really
got me to hate you.”
My eyebrows
knitted together in confusion. “What did she say? Whatever it was I
bet it was a lie. She has always hated me for some reason and would
do anything to have more people hate me.” On the outside I pulled
it off that I was fine but on the inside I wanted to go find Anna
and hit her. She was such a bitch and for her to lie, really proved
she was desperate.
“ I
don’t remember it was a while ago and I was half drunk.” Jared blew
it off leaning back against the couch and letting his head fall
backwards, his eyes closing.
“ One
last question?” I asked quietly, scared he was going to duck-tape
my mouth to get me to shut up.
“ What
Emilie?” He mumbled half awake, half asleep.
“ What
made you change your mind about me?”
He picked his
head up a little and opened one eye. “I found out what she said was
a lie.”
“ How?
Wait! So you do remember what she said!” I yelled. He groaned and
threw a pillow over his face. “Jared tell me! I won’t be mad. It’s
about me so I have a right to know.” I moved closer to him and
started trying to pull the pillow off his head.
I gasped when he
quickly grabbed me by the waist and pulled me down onto the couch
so the length of my body was parallel to the back of the couch…
well it would have been if Jared wasn’t behind me.
He wrapped an arm
around my waist and pulled me closer to his body tangling our legs.
I could feel his chest move every time he breathed and his hand was
hot on my stomach.
“ Jared
what are you doing?”
“ Sleep
Emilie. Sleep.” He breathed into my hair sending my scalp to
tingle.
I was still in my
dress and Jared was still in his clothes but I knew he wouldn’t let
me go to change so I just laid there not saying anything. The cable
box was flashing the time and I was shocked to realize it was
already two in the morning.
My body was
shutting down and I felt my eyes drooping. Soon enough, I was
passed out in Jared’s room on the couch with Jared spooning me from
behind.
The sound of my
phone vibrating was what woke me up. I opened my eyes and saw it
flashing on the floor next to the
