"Thank you, Aubrey," I whispered in a heartfelt tone

"Dude, save the gratitude You know you’re going to repay the favor soo through guys, I’m due for someone to stomp on my heart soon as payback Karma’s a bitch"

I chuckled as I looked at the clock before lockinga deep breath to cal she’d understand what I ot out of bed and went to grab the phones "Nope, let me check mine first I want tofor you before I hand your phone over to you Go hop in the shower and get dressed If we’re going to leave our little hideaway, you et ready first"

"I don’t know if I can wait," I protested

"Well, that’s just too da, and the only way that’s going to happen is if you’re showered and dressed before you check all thefor you on this," she said, wavingand h! Fine," I grumbled as I stomped into the bathroom It pained me to admit that she did have a point If there was bad news, then I would be otten ready for the day The last thing I wanted to do was confront Drake looking like crap If things were going to end between us, I wanted to at least look good enough that he’d regret losingsuch an ass

I took the quickest shower in history, ready to just get this over with I could hear Aubrey’s voice through the bathroom door and threw on a robe so I could find out who she was talking to I found her sitting on the bed, phone pressed to her ear with her hand over herstunned

"Jackson, she just finished her shower Can I call you back?" she asked After listening to hi, "Yeah, I hear what you’re saying, and I’ll let her know"

"What?" I asked as she ended the call

"Sit down," she instructed She must have seen the fear in my eyes because she moved quickly to reassureto be relieved to hear what Jackson had to tell me"

I flopped down onto the bed and waited for her to continue

"First with the not-so-great news Jackson and Drake were in a fight Neither of theot physical between theet past Jackson to get to you, and Jackson stopped hiet away"

"And they’re both okay?" I asked
