Do you know that moment when you wake up and feel just perfect? Not tired. Happy and content. But not because of yourself. But because of the person that lays right next to you. Big, muscular, toned arms. Right on top of me.

My eyes pop open and I stare, the person next to me is a person I would have never envisioned to be next to me.

Titus.

My heart races and I lift my arm up to brush the hair out of his eyes. His mouth is parted open as he breaths heavily and I smile so hard that my cheeks hurt.

"Would you rather take a picture?" He smirks and I jump back from him. I glare at him and groan pushing myself away but he just pulls me closer to him and giggles.

"I wasn't looking at you," I snap back, pathetically.

He smirks at me and pinches my cheeks teasingly. "Whatever you say love," he yawns and stretches his arms above his head making me stare more and embarrass myself even more. He doesn't comment this time, instead he receives a text and keeps his phone far enough so that I won't see.

Pretending I don't care, I clap my hands together and stand up. "Alright! I'm going out today," I declare. His phone doesn't seem so interesting now and the smile is wiped from his face.

"You don't want to spend time with me today?" I almost cave. Almost.

Instead, I give him a tight lipped smile and shake my head. "I'm sure you'll find something to do. I've planned to go see friends."

"What friends?"

"Friends," I tease him.

He glares at me and pulls me to his chest by my wrists in a deathly grip. "I'm not stupid Emberly, I know what you're doing. But you're right, I am busy today as of now," he releases me and stands up.

I suppose I deserve the comment he just threw at me. Maybe I should trust him a little more, but how can I? We've hardly been together. My mind tends to overthink in the worst possible situations. Like right now. Then my heart hurts and beats that pathetic painful throb and I almost cry and want to listen to sad music to make myself even more sad and cry even harder.

"What are you doing?" I ask him softly.

He walks closer to where I'm standing and tucks his fingers on my chin to lift my face up even more. "Nothing you need to worry about princess."

"Nothing I need to worry about! Who does he think he is? He said that on purpose. He's probably with another girl right now while here I am. Completely freaking out about what he is doing. I bet he isn't even thinking about me."

Angel watches as I pace back and forth on her carpet floor and rubs her exploding belly whilst thinking. She's been mostly silent, but I'm not going to force words out of her mouth just yet.

"I mean you did start it. Therefore you can't really be angry with him. I doubt he would be with another girl if he liked you, if he is then he clearly isn't that into you. Which is sad, of course. But it's better to know earlier on am I right? But I know it's nothing to worry about, hes just doing what you did to him," I stare at her dumbfounded. She is very honest today. Usually she isn't a realist, she's the positive one but not today. I need positive vibes only.

"Okay great so he's probably not that into me. F*ck, I've completely poured my emotions out to the wrong person."

Brett walks into the room to give Angel her 3 sandwiches then walks out again not wanting to hear my girl problems. I believe Titus can be good, can do good. I had believed he would not hurt me and would not hook up with any girls if I declared my feelings for him. But now I'm just not so sure.

He acted as if he didn't give a crap as to who I was seeing in the end. Maybe that was an act. Maybe fear of emotions got the best of him. His cold exterior displayed once again to me. He has stopped that. The bland looks, the looking like he's constantly constipated look. He replaced it with happiness. Now all I get is constipated joe.

"You're overthinking the whole situation entirely. He has gone out, just because he wouldn't tell you where doesn't mean he's with a girl so stop jumping to conclusions." She takes a large bite into her sandwich after saying this then waves me off. "Go home and see him, it's better making an action to stop overthinking then sitting here panicking."

She was right. I keep worrying about something I'm not even sure of myself. Talking to him is the best option. After giving her a hug goodbye I almost run to my car and speed home. I am greeted with two very big bear hugs from Landon and Chris.

"Emmy!" Landon screeches happily. "It's been forever since we've had an actual conversation, talk to me baby cakes," I grimace at whag he calls me and so does Chris.

He shoves his face and scoffs, "that wasn't cute, that was plain gross and cringe. Even Titus wouldn't do that protective shit, he'd just beat your ass for being so f*cking cringe worthy."

I giggle at Chris' mean, but very true remark. Landon pouts but doesn't seem too hurt by the words just spoken. I think they are all used to constantly bullying each other. Or Landon is familiar with the constant bullying. Let's just agree with the first thought.

"Hi guys, how are you?" I giggle. "Where is Titus?"

Landon and Chris look to each other. "Oh he's getting groceries!"

"He's just at the movies with some old mates!"

They both say this in unison. This concerns me. A lot. I'm not Titus' girlfriend so I can not control what he does and who he is with. I cannot beat his pathetic ass for not telling me where he was going and what he was doing. Very hypocritical of me, but still.

I cross my arms over my chest and Chris slaps Landon- putting these blame on him for not agreeing to the same excuse. I'm assuming Titus told them to not tell me what he was doing otherwise they wouldn't be sweating right now.

"Boys," I warn. "Is he with another girl?"

"Fuck no!" They say at the same time. I exhale a deep breath of air I didn't know I was holding, the relief brings me new coming air and an overwhelming feeling of happiness. He's not with another girl. He's not a complete manwhore.

Jarrad walks in with Amalia and looks at the boys and speaks, "hey why aren't you with Valentino and Titus?"

Chris and Landon both look at Jarrad like he's the most stupid person in the entire world. Like he just broke boy code. Brother code. Jarrad soon realises his mistake when he sees me.

If they can't even tell me what he's doing I might as well go back to bed, cry and sleep. So I can wake up a bad bitch again.

And beat Titus' ass.
