Bad In Common

Chapter 51 ??

" Where did all these pillows come from?" Emily asks as I reach over for another pillow.

I stop mid way and turn to look at her. Giving her a guilty smile I put the pillow back.

" I thought I'd help out while you guys were... occupied." I answer.

" Let's just head back. I'm exhausted from this day." Parker sighs.

I'm exhausted as well. Guess the hours of sleep I missed out on has caught up to me.

" Agreed. We'll try again tomorrow. " Emily adds.

I feel my shoulders slouch as the hope of moving into the apartment sooner goes away. I don't know how many more sleepless nights I can do before completely losing it. Hopefully we don't reach that point.

Slowly but surely I start packing away the pillows and blankets that I picked out. I'd feel too bad to just leave it there for someone to pack away.

" I ordered mattresses for the bedrooms so long and hopefully they will be delivered in the next few days. Once they are delivered we can start moving in." Emily announces just as we stop in front of the frat house.

I'll move in now if I had the option to but Emily doesn't like the idea of me sleeping on the floor seeing as the apartment isn't furnished. Anything would be better than spending another night in Tyler's room.

" Be ready in an hour. We're going out tonight. End of discussion." Emily orders as we climb out of the car.

" I-"

" No."

" But I-"

" I don't want to hear it."

" Fine." I sigh finally giving in.

It didn't take much convincing -

Oh just shut it.

Like the grown ass adult I am I stomp my way up the stairs. I can't remember the last time I didn't feel up for going out for the night. I've always been a party animal but lately I'm just not in the mood. At all. Going out means that I'll be seeing more people, likely couples, and they'll just remind me of how depressing my life is at the moment.

But I need to stop thinking about everything in such a negative way. This is my new beginning and if I want to make a success from it then I should definitely change my attitude.

Maybe a night out won't hurt that bad?

Once I reach Tyler's room I start going through the clothes I brought along. I've come to a realization that I really need to get new clothes.

With what money?

Don't even remind me.

I'm not going to complain. Although I don't have any source of income at the moment I'm grateful that I don't have a nagging mother on my back. Without her constantly trying to control my life I feel like I can finally step out of the cage she has been forcing me to stay in and embrace my full potential.

" Did you take my pink lipstick?"

I turn around to see Emily storm into the room. She's wearing her favorite pink towel while trying to untangle her damp hair.

" Why would I have your lipstick?" I ask the obvious question.

Pink isn't my color.

" Because it's a nice shade of pink." Emily says in a duh tone.

I frown in confusion at her reasoning. She raises her left eyebrow before turning around and exiting the room.

Such a weird girl.
