My stomach rolled at the thought, but I kept the smile in place. “Not today.”
His face dropped, and I felt bad. I knew he was trying to rectify our friendship.
“Tomorrow, I promise.”
Trent searched my face before nodding his head. “Okay, see you tomorrow.”
He let me go and left with a smile on his face. I let my smile fall as soon as he was out of sight, and rubbed my shoulders with a slight shudder. It took a couple of minutes of sitting in my car to pull myself together enough to drive home. All I wanted to do was curl up with Kill and forget about my weird day.
Of course, Kill wasn’t home. This day was a disaster. I took a hot shower, wanting to de-stress, resisting the urge to curl up in bed and cry. The boys would want food soon, so I forced myself to get dressed and go downstairs.
"Faith, do you know where Kill is?" D asked after calling him for the fourth time with no answer.
I’d just finished cooking dinner and was setting it out on the counter. "He said he had to be somewhere today, but he wouldn't tell me where he had to go."
"I can't believe he's missing practice. We can't do anything without him," D said, glaring at his phone.
Kill walked into the house twenty minutes later.
"Where have you been? You missed practice," D demanded.
"Sorry, I had to be somewhere," Kill answered, brushing off D as he made his way toward the stairs. "I have to take a shower. I'll be down for dinner afterwards."
Kill was quiet during dinner. I tried to get him to look at me, but he wouldn't meet my eyes, even when I bumped his shoulder with mine.
My heart plummeted, and the rest of the night didn’t get any better. When I finally asked him what was wrong, all I got was a shoulder shrug in response.
It seemed like guys in general were being assholes today. Done with the male species, I decided to go to bed early.
Kill came in later but didn’t pull me to him as he normally did. I, myself, was too mad to bridge the gap. When I started to drift back to sleep, he let out a long sigh. Wrapping his arm around me, he pulled me close. I fell asleep with dread in my heart, unsure what exactly was going on.
