The next morning I wake up from a beam of light shining through the curtains. I roll over, escaping from the blinding sun as I realise I'm in Jai's room. I lay there for awhile snuggling into his warmth until I finally snap into reality. I gently put my hand to my face and press around my eye area softly. It hurts so I stop. I lay there some more before finally getting out of bed and quickly walking into Jai's bathroom.

As I walk into the bathroom I quietly shut the door behind me wanting no one to see I'm in here. I walk up to the mirror and stare at my horrifying face. The bruise around my eye has gotten worse, I have a few cuts and overall it looks awful. Once again, I wash my face trying to remove the awfulness but I do not succeed.

I examine it a bit closer when I hear the door behind me open. I quickly turn around to see who it is. Its Jai.

"Oh, sorry. I didn't realise you were in here" He rubs his eyes, clearly showing that he just woke up.

"Its okay" I step away from the mirror. Theres a short moment of silence before he speaks again.

"Uh, mind if you hop out for a moment? I really need to piss" He smirks and I grin. I walk out shutting the door behind me. I go and sit on his bed waiting for him. He walks out after a few minutes sits next to me on his bed.

"Its gotten worse... I look horrible" I say leaning my head on his shoulder.

"You look beautiful no matter what" He replies putting his arm around me. "Plus it will heal soon enough"

Suddenly the door opens and Luke walks in. He looks at us both weirdly because he didn't realise I would be in Jai's room.

"Uhhh" He puts his hand through his hair and stays by the door. "The boys and I are going out. You two coming?"

"I'm not going out looking like this..." I look down avoiding eye contact with Luke.

"Ill stay with Soph. She shouldn't be alone after what happened" Jai rubs my back softly.

"Okay we'll be back in a couple of hours" He walks out and a few minutes later we hear the car outside start up as the boys leave.

I get up and go take a shower and wash my hair. I get changed into some trackies and a t-shirt. I go back into Jai's room and he's playing X-box on the floor. I sit down in front of him and lie down in his lap. He rests his chin on my head.

"Your hair smells good" He says out of the blue.

"Thanks" I smile even though he cant see it. "I used the shampoo that was in the shower. Who's is it?"

"Luke's"

"Luke uses Women shampoo?" I giggle slightly.

"Yeah, he says he likes his hair to smell nice" Jai starts laughing too.

"Maybe you should start using it too"

"Hey, my hair smells amazing without it"

I sit up and sniff his hair.

"It would smell even better using that shampoo" I ruffle his hair up.

He grabs my wrist and playfully gets me on the floor. He pins my arms back and gets on top of me.

"My hair smells great the way it is" He keeps me pinned back as we stare at each other for a moment before he leans in close and our lips connect. We kiss for awhile before he finally pulls away and we stare at each other again.

 He then gets up and goes into his bathroom to take a shower. I go into the kitchen and pour a bowl of cereal. About half an hour later the boys arrive home with Daniel.
