Down the Rabbit Hole (Stuck On You)

Chapter 15: Simple Lift and Fall

I woke up and sighed, remembering everything from last night. I needed to stop thinking of Hayden romantically if I was ever going to be able to continue living with him. I walked to the kitchen to find a blonde girl in one of Hayden's shirts. She looked back at me curiously.

"Who are you?" she asked. I rolled my eyes and moved to the fridge.

"I'm Jordyn... I live here. Who are you?" I asked. She gave a tight smile.

"I'm Fiona," she introduced herself. I would've said 'nice to meet you', but that would've been a lie. I grabbed a cup of juice and looked away from Fiona. It made my chest hurt looking at her. I heard a door open. Fiona perked to attention as Hayden came in the kitchen. He gave her a sly half-smile. She skipped over and kissed his neck. I took a silent deep breath and looked away from them. I set my drink down and headed back to my room.

"Hey, Jordyn, how was your date with Lewis," Hayden asked. I stopped. A sigh left my lips and I closed my eyes.

"All we did was talk about Thomas," I said softly. I could practically feel his smugness leave him.

"Are you okay, Jo?" he asked. I stayed quiet. I walked into my room and locked the door behind me. I laid on my bed and tried not to listen to Fiona's giggles. It only lasted a second before I heard a door open and close. Moments later there was a knock on my door. Tears ran down my face, making my eyes red and puffy. I wiped the stubborn tears away as Hayden knocked again. "Jo, open the door," he said. I sniffled and wiped my cheeks again.

"I'm not opening the door, Hayden," I said.

"Jordyn," he begged. "I'm sorry," he said.

"Go away," I said defeated. I heard him sigh before he left. I laid down and closed my eyes. I didn't want to cry. I didn't want to cry over Hayden.

A few hours later, there was more knocking on my door. "Luca wants us to come to practice," Hayden said. I sighed and sat up before I went to my bathroom and washed my face. I walked over and opened my door before I turned towards my drawers. Hayden walked in and grabbed my arm.

my arm away and rummaged through my drawers for some workout clothes. I grabbed a pair of Nike pros and a crop top. I sighed and turned back to Hayden.

I glared at him. "Hayden, out... now," I said through clenched teeth. He gave me one
