Love From A Distance

Chapter 27 Treats?

Millicent's POV

My phone's ringtone that's set for my father, blares in my ear as I groan out not wanting to wake up. I won't even open my eyes because I can hear exactly where the phone is at. So no need to inconvenience myself right now by prying my eyes open.

I grab it and answer quickly so my head won't continue pounding with the beat of the loud music. "Hello?" I say in the most groggy morning tone I have ever heard come out of my own mouth. I clear my throat just to hear a groaning coming from Hannah as well.

"Milly! Oh, thank God! We were so worried something had happened to you! Don't worry Ma she is here!" my father declares to me and my mother, but this comment starts waking me up.

"What are you talking about? Of course I'm here." I declare not understanding his reaction to the sound of my voice. "Your brother has been calling you all last night and couldn't get hold of you.. So he called us worried, which is understandable.. So we have been trying to get a hold of you as well. You had us worried Milly." He tries to explain but this helps only slightly.

I pinch the bridge of my nose with my eyes still closed because my head is pounding and refuses to see the light without hurting more.

"Why was Corey trying to call me?" I ask about my brother because he doesn't call me too often but it's not like we have any problems with each other either. We have always been good to one another. So I'm various to why he would be so enthralled with where I am.

"He was receiving many drunken calls from your husband last night, saying that you cheated with Aiden and then ran away... then something along the lines that he is hurting and just wanting to find you." My father says as my eyes burst open and I shoot straight up. Sitting on high alert after that comment.

"He did what?!" I spat in shock thinking about this as I state the truth for my family to know. "Wyatt has been cheating on me for months now.. and Aiden was the one to tell me.. not Wyatt!"

"I figured that he would be doing something so unforgivable.. he has always been such a sh*tty husband to you.. but I have to know Princess.. Did you really cheat with Aiden?" I hear him asking this with an anticipation in his tone because he loves Aiden and I know he would greatly enjoy having him for his son-in-law.

I groan out, pinching the bridge of my nose again as my eyes roll back. He is going to love my answer, but I won't love the result.. because that means he really won't leave me alone about him now.

"Yes daddy.. He kissed me and then I kissed him back. But I stopped it there, because I felt so bad about Wyatt.. and then when we told him, all hell broke loose... he hit me again.. because I hit the girl he has been cheating on me with."

"What the hell! He laid another hand on you?! I will murder him for that! I'm so sorry you have had to endure that.. but are you safe? Where are you? I can come to get you." He inquires about me and of course my whereabouts.

"You don't have to murder him.. just give me time to finalize this divorce and we won't have to see him ever again... But.. Yeah I'm safe and just hungover.. Hannah and I have been drinking and packing up my things at my house all last night, because Wyatt was gone all night at who knows where. Im assuming his mistress place." I explain to him as I hear him let out a sigh and I don't know if that sigh is for my situation or just happy that I'm ok.. maybe both but all I know is that I don't want to keep talking about this right now.

"Well I'm sorry to cut this short but my head is killing me and I need some water to drink or I feel like I'm going to die right now." I declare as he chuckles lightly.

"Ok well if you need a place to stay just call us and I'm there." my father says as my mother adds from the background. "but even if you just need help moving your things out we can help" I smile as I softly say. "Ok thank you both so much. I'll keep you updated either way.. but can you please tell Corey about what happened so I won't have to keep explaining it.. and so he won't be worried anymore?"

"Yeah, of course.. talk to you soon Princess. I love you." My father replies as I quickly sneak in right before I hang up the call. "Love you too."

I throw my phone to my side as I lay back down for a moment until I can properly wake up. "I hurt so bad," Hannah yells out making me cringe from the sudden loud noise, so I groan out before peaking one eye open.

I notice instantly that I'm on my bed.. that's strange.. the last thing I remember was laying on the floor next to Hannah and talking the night away.. and now I'm in the bed. I slowly sit up this time, trying to not get sick and give my body a chance to adjust to waking up as I investigate.

I instantly notice the soft comforter draped and caressing across my skin with every move I make. I move my legs around for a second noticing this feels weirder than normal.. this isn't that strange but I normally don't feel the blanket like this because I have pajamas on.

The comforter is covering me, but the lace of my bra is seen accompanied by my ample breasts poking out from the covers... I lift the covers to see that what I feel is correct.. I am practically naked under here. but.. the last thing I remember once again was being fully dressed and laying on the floor.. how did I get to my bed and practically naked?

I look beside me in bed and Hannah is not there, I slowly let my gaze pan around the room checking out all the details of stacked boxes and bags along with some more piles of clothing that haven't been packed yet. Then last but not least, it's Hannah on the floor next to the bed, groaning and fully clothed.

"What happened last night?" I ask her as she just groans out in response. "Why am I practically naked?" I inquire as she groans out sounding pained by my questions but I need to know what she knows.

"I.. don't.. know.. I just remember us laying on the floor and talking.. that's it." I slowly nod before responding. "Yeah me too.. that's strange."

"I don't think it's that weird.. We drank a lot. Besides.. You're in your house and you're my best friend so we have seen each other naked tons of times.. maybe you just got hot and stripped down then climbed in bed... I don't know why you couldn't bring me with you.. but that's neither here nor there." She states as she sits up with me.

"I'm thirsty.. are you coming with me to the kitchen?" I ask her as she just nods. "Yes.. but I need you to help me up." She informs me as I give her a look of disbelief.

"I don't even know if I can get myself out of bed and you think I will be able to get you off the floor?" She laughs at my playful response before extending her hand to me.

"Well let's hope you can help me.. because if not then I will probably stay here all day." I laugh at her comment as I take her hand into mine. I take a couple of slow deep breaths before swinging my legs off the side of the bed.. then slowly standing up as I keep leaning back, using my weight to help lift her up.

But I'm not fully prepared for her weight falling with mine.. So once she gets pulled up we both just collapse onto the bed feeling exhausted and just fighting the nauseated feelings overwhelming us right now.

"Thanks," Hannah says muffled into the bed as she doesn't move a muscle. I barely move because even a little bit starts to make me feel dizzy again. But with how dry my mouth is, it's making the inside of my mouth feel as dry as a desert. This feeling is having me craving water and a pool's worth to chug.

This cottonmouth is the real deal and my only motivation is to get out of this bed at the moment. Even with the soft comfy comforter cradling my face in the softest hold, that I could pass right back out.

"Ok.. come on.. let's do this together." Hannah instructs me as I ask " Ok and how do you plan on doing that without throwing up?"

"I think we should sit up and lean our backs against one another.. to support each other and give enough strength and help to stand together. But slowly so we don't get dizzy and throw up." She commands me and I don't have a plan of my own or see a problem with this one.. So I'm all in. "Ok let's do this."

We slowly roll onto our sides as we sit up in the bed, then leaning our backs onto one another for support. "Ok.. just give me one second to breath and then we can stand up." Hannah states to me and I don't mind that one bit.. I need a breather as well.

We pant for a moment until I say. "I'm ready when you are girl." I hear a couple breathing exercises going on behind me as she responds. "Ok.. let's stand on the count of 3.... Ok.. 1.... 2.... 3." we both push against each other as we slowly stand to our feet.

"Are you good?" I ask her with worry because she is not leaning as much against me now that we are standing. "Yeah, I am.. I'm feeling better standing.. but can you hold my hand just in case?"

Of course, I don't mind that whatsoever. "Sure.. let's go," I say quickly taking her hand into mine as we start our slow trek out of my room and across the house to the kitchen. I have to take a breather before I grab us glasses then ice and water.. but once that ice-cold liquid salvation hits my lips I can feel the wave of satisfaction hitting my system. I moan out chugging all of my water as Hannah does the same. I fill up another glass before chugging that just as quickly, waking me up and refreshing not just my mind but my body as well.

"That's just what I needed." Hannah states as she curiously asks right after. "What's this? Can I have some?" I look over at her and can see she is pointing at a plate with cookies and brownies on it.. but wrapped with saran wrap.

I find my body moving without even realizing and before I know it I'm by the counter and grabbing the plate of treats. "I don't know what this is for."

"It's not something that was brought by Wyatt's coworkers for that party?" I shake my head at her question before quickly replying. "No I made everything with Aiden and we didn't make these."

As I pull the filled plate over to me I notice something white underneath it. So I reach under it and pull the paper out.. It's a card, with my name on the front accompanied by a sticky note.

I peel off the sticky note as I quickly read to myself. 'I'm sorry I didn't wake you up to give this to you myself. I didn't want to disturb your beauty sleep.'

I look over at Hannah before sliding my finger into the little hole on the side of the envelope that helps me open the rest of it. Once I get it open I take the card out. It has a cartoon puppy with big sad eyes and a bubble next to him saying 'Sowwy' in it, on the front. I open the card just to read it out loud for Hannah and I, since we are both curious about this.

'I'm so sorry Milly.. I never meant to cause so much stress for you. Please don't be too mad and try to forgive me because hurting you was not my intention. see you soon.. forever yours.'

But there is no signature or anything to show me who wrote this.. and I know it may sound bad, but I don't know Wyatt's handwriting.. anytime we talk it's over text, calling, or Skype.. but I don't remember him ever writing me any notes or anything.. Even all of his work he has brought home was all him typing up stuff.. I'm the one that marks the calender and writes all the time.. So I don't even have anything to compare against this note.

"Who was it from?" Hannah asks as she shoves a cookie into her mouth.. That sight alone makes my stomach turn.. I don't have the appetite after last night to eat any of that.. but it does smell sweet and yummy.

"It doesn't say." I reply staring down at it. "So wait... does that mean someone was in here last night when we were passed out?" Hannah asks as she grabs for a brownie now.

"That's what it sounds like to me." I reply as I show her the sticky note that was on the card to show why I think this. "Oh.. that's kinda creepy.. but it's nice that Wyatt would do that." She says to me, but at that exact moment, I feel my face automatically scrunched together. "Why would you say it's him?"

"Well, the person is apologizing for upsetting you.. I mean who else upset you in the last day?" She asks me as I shrug my shoulders. "I don't know.. Aiden.. and that girl Wyatt was with.. but Wyatt doesn't apologize often and when he does he makes sure it's not anonymous.. he makes sure that not only do I know about his apology, but that everyone does too.. so he will get plenty of praise for his actions." She nods to my response, thinking about that.

"Well, that makes sense why he posts only certain things about you on his social media.. But maybe he is trying to change.. because as I stated before if not him then who? and if it was someone else then that's crazy that they were in here without us knowing." I agreed with her explanation feeling creeped out by that thought too.

"Well then I guess I'm happy we are still alive.. that means that person could have been a serial killer and could have murdered us if they wanted." She says this as she rubs the side of her arms feeling weary.

"Well, what if they wanted to kill us just not that way," I say to her as I notice her eyes widen and lock on the plate of treats. She runs over to the trash spitting out what was in her mouth and trying to get herself to throw up but she can't.

"Hey.. hey.. I'm sure you're fine Hannah.. I bet you would be feeling something by now if they were tampered with in anyway.. you have had multiple at this point." I declare as she nods slowly at me. "I feel fine.. A little dizzy from all the sudden movement but other than that I feel fine."

I send her a small smile as I set the card to the counter.
