7) Us Girls Gotta Stick Together
Hayley awoke sprawled into her sheets. She'd done right coming home, the sleep was refreshing. She sat up filliping her hair back out of eyes but it just showered back down. She blew the fringe out of the way.
"Well, well, well, look who's awake." A voice startled her, she was still slightly jumpy. Hayley turned around groggily.
"Rebekah." she acknowledged slowly remembering last night's events.
Rebekah threw a cushion at Hayley and her senses heightened as she caught it swiftly. She was in no mood for talking.
"What were you thinking, running off like that?" Rebekah scolded her like a child.
"I needed some time." Hayley uttered, stumbling out of the bed and looking for a hair brush.
"Some time." Rebekah looked at her still not pleased.
"Yes." Hayley muttered brushing out her brown locks aggressively; slowly the pain and anger inside her began to seep out from inside her.
"Where did you plan on going?" Rebekah continued to interrogate her but Hayley could barely pay attention nor did she want to.
Elijah's face flashed into her mind and she swiped it away several times. She latched onto her anger and brushed faster.
Rebekah stopped mid speech and Hayley found she was staring at her.
"What?" Hayley asked confused.
"You're crying." Rebekah spoke strangely softly.
"What?" Hayley looked at her confused and turned to the mirror. She touched her tears. Indeed they were there.
"Yeah um, it's probably the pregnancy, hormones and crap." Hayley muttered, placing the brush down and wiping her eyes dry.
Rebekah didn't reply. She just looked at her as if to say I know you're lying.
"Um I'm going to have a shower." Hayley spoke, in the hope of finding some peace.
Rebekah got up to leave.
"Screw men." she spoke smiling a small smile.
Hayley returned the smile as best she could.
