Gavin wanted to take me out tonight. He texted me to tell me to be ready by a certain time and I was more than eager to go out with him. After I left the kitchen this morning, I went straight to my room to take a long bath. I needed to clear my head and wash away all the negative thoughts that had collected in my mind.

I tried calling Nan a few times this morning, but now her phone was turned off and it was going straight to voicemail. I even sent her a couple of text messages, but they remained unopened. My heart squeezed painfully in my chest, I hated that she was going through this. I hated that Chester was putting her through this.

I knew I would see her at school tomorrow, but I needed to know now that she was okay. As I stepped out of the tub and grabbed a towel, I wrapped it around my body. I pulled the plug to the drain so the water would go down and then I turned to look in the mirror. It looked as if I hadn’t slept in days. I sighed, it was going to take a lot to make me presentable for my date with Gavin tonight.

There was a knock on my bedroom door, and I quickly spun on my heel and hurried out of the bathroom. There was a part of me that hoped it was Nan, even though I knew it wasn’t likely. I pulled the door open, and I stood surprised to see Harper standing at the doorway. Her eyes were red–rimmed, and her nose was pink; it was clear she had been crying and my heart tugged at her as well.

I didn’t know Harper all that well; since my time here, she had been a good maid and started to slowly become my friend. However, I found Chester to be more my friend than Harper. But that didn’t mean I wanted her to be hurting as well.

“Hey, Harper…” I said, uncertainty filling my tone. “Are you okay?”

She wiped at her damp eyes and forced an obviously fake smile.

“Yeah, sorry,” she said softly. “I was just seeing if you needed anything. Sorry, I haven’t been super tentative lately.”

I shook my head, waiving off her concern.

“You don’t need to worry about it, Harper,” I assured her. “It’s honestly okay. But I’m worried about you. Yesterday was really rough…”

“I’m okay…” she said quickly. “I think I could just use a distraction.”

I thought about it for a moment, and then I smiled.

“Well, I have an idea,” I told her, grabbing her arm and pulling her into my room, shutting the door behind us. She looked startled and stumbled over her feet for a second, it made me laugh. “I have a date tonight.”

She winced at my words, and I realized she probably didn’t want to think about dating or anything like that.

“Well, it’s kind of a date, Gavin and I aren’t exactly dating it’s complicated,” I told her.

Harper’s expression softened and she nodded.

“I can understand complicated,” she told me.

“I figured you could,” I told her. “But I haven’t seen him in a few days, and he wants to spend the night with me. I want to make myself look hot for him but I’m kind of torn look like I haven’t slept in years.”

She studied me for a moment and then a smile tipped the corner of her lips.

“I wasn’t going to say anything, but yeah. You kind of look ke crap,” she teased.
