I got in the front door to see that Cody had gotten up and was now watching TV. I took off my jacket and through it onto the coat wrack and went to sit beside Cody. I leaned into him, out my head in his shoulder and my feet on the sofa and he put his arms around me.
"How was your walk" he asked me.
"Huh?" I said. "oh yeah it was good. How's your arm?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore but I'm ready to rip this cast off. It's getting in my way." He moaned.
"Have you taken a shower yet?" I asked trying not laugh at him.
"Not yet but I'm dreading it" he laid his head on my head.
"Don't worry I can help you" I looked up and winked at him jokingly. He looked at me funny, did he think I was being serious? Well if he did ask me for help I probably wouldn't say no. "I used wonder why people always thought we were going out but now I know why."
"And why is that?" he asked.
"Well...look at us we basically act like a couple. We talk about the stuff that couples would, we sit together like couples would. We sleep in the same bed some nights." I explained.
"I guess your right. Maybe we should stop being so touchy feely." He said and lifted his arms from me. That was not the reaction I was hoping for.
"I have to pee" I got up and left the room so he couldn't see my face. It hurt but It's not as if we are going out so why do it hurt. I heard my phone ringing. "Will you answer that please?"
I heard him speak on the phone but it sounded as if the person on the other side wasn't answering. Must be a wrong number. I went back out to see Cody on my phone. What was he doing? He looked up at me the anger clear in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" I asked getting anxious.
"You forgave that jerk?" he asked with clenched teeth. Oh shit.
"You read my messages? How far down did you get?" I asked. What if he seen the stuff about Alli? I snatched the phone out of his hand and looked at it. Thank the lord he didn't get that far. "What is wrong with you? You don't just read other peoples text messages!"
"I didn't think you'd have anything to his. Who's the unknown number?" he asked. He ment Alli's number.
"None of your business" I said I couldn't tell him that it was Alli's number and I couldn't tell him why I forgave Peter, there would be too many questions that came along with that answer and I didn't know how to answer them without bringing Alli into the equation.
"Yes it is. If it's about Peter and some plan that you have then I need to know. I don't want you to get hurt." He said softer. I turned around to look at him. He looked pained.
"Cody I can't tell you okay. If I could I would but I can't" I sighed.
"So now you're keeping secrets?" he asked me.
"No Cody. Look I will tell you everything when it's all over but until then you can't know." I said.
"Whatever Toni" he stormed back into the living room and continued to watch Tv like I had never been there in the first place. This relationship is getting out of hand. One minute we are all lovey dovey and then the next we are fighting the bit out. This is for your own good you just need to trust me Cody. That's the thing though does he trust me? He doesn't trust me that much when he looks through my messages. I pushed that out of my mind and lay down on my bed. I had become tired and I really wanted to sleep.
I drifted off thinking about Cody and I. What was happening to us?
I woke up to my alarm going off. I had slept right through to the next morning. Still in my clothes from last night I got up and started to take them off when the door opened and in walked Cody.
"Sorry" he said emotionlessly and walked back out again. I sighed and continued getting dressed. Once I was done I went to go get my cereal. Cody was on the laptop in the living room already dressed and Adam had already left for school as his was further away then ours.
"Cody do you want cereal?" I asked trying to speak to him. He came in the door .
"I'll do it myself." He said.
"Don't be so dramatic, Seriously do you not trust me making cereal or something?" I asked not expecting an answer.
"You don't trust me with your 'secret' so I don't trust you with my cereal." He replied.
"Well It sounded like you didn't trust me from the start because you read my messages. " I spat at him. I didn't expect it to come out like that. He grabbed his now full bowl of cereal and went back into the living room to eat it.
This was going to be so awkward today. But then again I guess that it's a good thing. It means that I can really prove to Peter that I'm not friends with Cody anymore. I guess I'm just going to have to bear it for a day or two.
I looked at the time and realised that the bus was going to be here soon. I put my bowl in the dishwasher and went to grab my bags. I didn't bother telling Cody he would follow me and if he didn't then he was going to have to get in trouble for being late at school. I stood at the bus stop waiting and like I was thinking he came out and stood beside me. It was really awkward. We didn't talk we just stood there in silence.
Finally the bus came and I got on and looked around for Peter and made my way toward him. Cody didn't follow me. He sat at the front of the bus with his head against the window. I so badly wanted to sit beside him and comfort him but I couldn't do that. I had a facade to put on. I saw Peters face and immediately I wanted to puke.
I can't wait until today is over.
