chapter 7
"jude.fucking.cunningham."

FILLER CHAPTER!

chris woke up before dejah did but he didn't want to wake her up as she was sleeping peacefully, so instead he went on his phone and started to scroll on tiktok on mute. which is quite pointless if you really think about it, but he did it anyways. he sees a notification from imessage, and he clicked on it before it went away. it was a new group chat that had been made a few minutes ago.

chris- chri$

chris gets up out of bed, trying to be as quiet as possible to refrain from waking dejah up. the last thing he wanted right now was to disturb her while she was trying to rest. he tip toed his way downstairs where he was met with nate, matt, liv, abbie and nick. they all turned in chris' direction when he abruptly walked through the door. "morning" he yawns in his croaky, morning voice.

"morning" they all reply back in sync. chris takes a seat in the empty space next to matt and he takes a bite from his toast when he wasn't looking.

"hey" shouts matt, catching chris out of the corner of his eye. chris swallows the piece of toast and starts to laugh. matt punches his arm, making chris jump a little bit.

"tough guy matt over here" says chris, mocking him. chris got the attention of everyone in the room and they began to join in on the mockery.

"matts fighting the demons right now guys, leave him alone" says abbie in a whiney voice, making fun of matt who's hands were now in his head, laughing slightly.

"you guys literally aren't funny" groans matt, rolling his eyes in annoyance.

"matt's the typa guy to start floating when he smells something good" says nate, laughing as he speaks. he makes the whole kitchen laugh which makes matt bury his head into his hands even more.

"if i wanted to hear from an asshole, id fart." says matt, looking directly at nate who's mouth is dropped open. he whacks matt playfully around the head.

"why did matt kinda eat though.."

"he thought he did.."

dejah had finally woken up due to all the loud laughing from the group. she opened the kitchen door and nobody even noticed her presence. they were all still focused on matt, but chris noticed that she was there, "morning." he grins, watching her pull a chair out, taking a seat opposite him and matt. when she sits down, she finally gets the attention from everybody.

"when.. did she get here?" says liv, pointing at dejah. everybody turns to follow where liv's finger was pointing to, eventually spotting dejah.

nate pours some orange juice into a small, glass cup and passed it to dejah who immediately takes it from his hand, taking a big sip from it, "thanks" she says, taking another sip. she puts the cup down and rests her palm on her chin.

while chris was sleeping last night, dejah and jude had been texting about the fact that he wasn't even told that the triplets and her friends were coming over, let alone the fact she didn't invite him either. she had completely forgotten that he would of seen the post on her instagram, she realised too late. he was angry at her for keeping it a secret and she said sorry like, a million times but he was still mad.

"did you sleep well last night?" asks chris, nudging dejah a little bit. she barely looks at him before she dusts her shoulder off, making chris frown. she had been completely fine with him yesterday, and she accepted his apology. it would be pretty petty to accept his apology and then ignore him the next day, "you good?"

"i'm fine" she scoffs, turning to face the other direction. she stands up and walks towards liv and abbie. chris felt defeated. he felt embarrassed. he felt out of place. he didn't know what he had done to make her suddenly ignore him like this, but it made him feel sick. the headache that had faded away last night had come back, sending hot flushes through his whole body. his head was heavy and his stomach felt queasy. he yearned for their friendship to be back like how it used to be all those years ago, and the small taste of upcoming friendship from last night. he began to overthink everything, he started to question whether or not he had something to her last night that he didn't quite remember. the laughter and the sounds of people talking in the background, was making him feel discomforted. "i'm gonna go to the bathroom" he says, standing up from his seat, making his way to the bathroom.

dejah glanced over at him rushing away to the bathroom and she scratched the back of her head anxiously. she could tell that something was wrong with him, and she couldn't help but think it was because of her. she turned back to look at liv and abbie who hadn't even realised that chris had left the room. nobody really did.

chris walked up the stairs slowly and made his way to dejah's room to sit down on his makeshift bed on the floor, when he notices that dejah's phone was going off with notifications. annoyed, he walks over to turn her phone on do not disturb when he notices the notifications are from jude. he scans over them briefly with his eyes as he doesn't want to be all up in her business, when one message stuck out to him in particular.

jude ❤

thanks for understanding my pov

chris turns her phone on do not disturb and he placed her phone on the side where it was placed before. he sat back down on his makeshift bed, but he couldn't stop thinking about the message. what was she understanding? and what was his point of view? it was probably nothing.
