Just Have To Do This
“did something happen overnight that you're not telling me. Definitely something happened” I said and he turned to look at me
“I said I went to hang out with some friends. What could possibly happen when I'm hanging out with —”

He stood still for some seconds before speaking “whatever you say or believe is not my business” he said and walked into the bathroom. I huffed angrily and took my bag. I left the room and went to the kitchen

I took a box of fruit juice from the fridge in the dinning room and popped the straw in. It was too cold to be taken in the morning but I was feeling hot inside and I knew it was as a result of what was going on within me. I was troubled.
