Chapter 30: I Want You

ELLIE

I blinked my eyes open and was surprised to find myself on the couch in the living room. I sat up and looked around. Everything from our movie night had been cleaned up and Sarah was gone. She must have gone to bed. 

I let out a long yawn, then stood and stretched. I'd been exhausted after struggling to sleep next to Cohen, but now knowing that when I went to our room he wouldn’t be there, I wasn't sure I could sleep without him either. 

What a mess. 

I stepped out of the living room and into the hall and found most of the lights out with only a few to find my way by. 

Heading towards the stairs, I flinched as the front door swung open. 

Kate stumbled in like she owned the place, and I frowned. When her eyes landed on me, she grinned. 

"Where are you coming back from?" I asked. 

"My boyfriend and I went to a club. A cab dropped me off," she said with a slight slur. 

I nodded, but didn't move.
