Chapter 44
(Hopes POV)
Sitting up in the bed with my knees to my chest I look over at Craig who is snoring softly. I look past him to the clock on the table. 3:54 A.M it reads. I can still hear music downstairs but not much talking.
I reach for my clothes on the floor and slowly climb out of the bed trying not to wake Craig up. Finally getting on my feet I slip on my underwear and pants and throw on my shirt. Hopefully Tyler has a hoodie I can borrow for today, I don't feel like wearing a bra at the moment, that and I feel gross. I grab my phone and shove it in my front pant pocket.
I look back at Craig once more before opening up the door and stepping out and closing it back up again. I sigh and walk back to the game room where hopefully Tyler is. Walking in there's only Tyler and a couple other people sitting around the tv now playing either rock band or guitar hero. I walk to the side of the couch and watch the tv for a little bit, to awkward to say anything.
"Hey Hope you look tired, need me to drive you home? Or maybe get some more alcohol in you?" He jokes. I shake my head no and put my hands in my pockets and look at my feet.
"Can I borrow a hoodie? I'll give it back on Monday I promise." I say looking back up at him. He nods his head and gets up from the couch.
"Just follow me real quick." He walks out of the room and I follow behind him.
We go to the door all the way at the end of the hall and he opens the door, a washer and dryer are inside. He reaches inside the white basket and pulls out a navy blue Nike hoodie and hands it to me.
"Monday okay?" He tells me. I nod my head and put it on.
"Thanks, see you Monday." I give him a quick smile before making my way to the stairs and going down them.
I open the front door and was welcomed by the cool autumn temperature. I put my hands in the hoodie pocket and start on my way home. Only a couple miles walk.
I wonder if Evan and (Y/N) left the party yet. Nice of them to leave without saying goodbye. I stop walking once I reach the house closest to Tyler's and look back at his house. Maybe I can ask if he can give me a ride. I pull out my phone and text him.
Hey have you drank at all? I guess I could use a ride. I really don't want to walk in the dark surrounded by woods alone. Doesn't bring back found memories. Not to mention I have a few in me as well. I hit send and sit on the curb, waiting for a response. I watch as he reads the text a few moments after I send it and wait for a reply back.
Yeah I've had a few beers. Brock is down stairs in the basement asleep. I can wake him and he can give you a ride. I smile a little at his response and wait for my ride back home.
"Thanks, I just... bad memories you know?" I say while closing Brocks car door. He yawns but gives me a smile.
"I totally understand Hope, really. I'm glad Tyler woke me up, I was ready to go home actually so it's perfect." He says as we began to leave Tyler's house and starting towards mine.
I lay my head on the window and watch trees land other houses quickly pass us by. Thoughts about the events that happened with Craig and I only a few hours ago come flooding into my head. Will people find out?
I hear Brock yawn, pulling me away from my thoughts. He turns the radio up only slightly and looks back to the road.
"You can change it to what you want. I don't mind." He says. I sit back in my seat and look out the front windshield.
"The next left up here I'm the last house on the right. The street makes a full loop so you'll be back on the normal street again." I tell him. He turns on his turn signal and turns left.
Is this what the walk of shame feels like. I don't feel.... really happy with what Craig and I did, it almost feels like we're rushing everything so fast. Are we even right for each other. Maybe he could be using me.
"We're here, I'll see you on Monday Hope. Have a good night and text me if you need anything... really. I know I'm probably the last person you want to talk to with... him and all but I'm here for you." Brock reassuringly says to me, snapping me from my thoughts. I look at him and lean in to give him a hug.
"Thank you," I let go of the hug and open up the door, "I'll see you on Monday." I close the door behind me and walk to my porch. The lights are off in the house, everyone must be asleep.
I slowly open the front door and close it before quietly but quickly walk back to my room. As soon as I get to it I close the door behind me and take a deep breath. Now I really don't want to go to school on Monday. I wonder if Tyler knew what happened, or if Brock knew.
I take off the hoodie and throw it at my desk chair before climbing into bed and pull the blankets up to me, not bothering to change into some pjs. I pull my phone out of my pant pocket and look through my notifications, not being surprised that I don't have any. I go to my text messages and decide to text (Y/N).
Want to hang out today? I don't really have anything else to do and I need to talk to you about what happened at the party if that's ok. I send it and put my phone on the charger and turn on my side.
Maybe I should say something to Craig, I don't know why I'm regretting what happened but a voice in the back of my mind is telling me that it was a mistake to hookup with Craig, that he's only going to use me from here on out. I close my eyes and try to forget about my thoughts.
