12 Chapter 12

Lara-Jean's POV

Slam.

I swear to God the whole room rattled when Covey slammed the door, and I was left just staring behind her.

She seemed angry, I thought to myself sarcastically before sinking unto the floor, burying my face in my palms. My back was up against the wall and I slowly and steadily tried to control my breathing.

I couldn't fall apart now, my mum was coming and she hated to see me fall apart. It would just make her angry.

I picked myself up from the floor and swallowed hard. Then I got back to cleaning up the room, I had lost count of how many times I had done this. All I knew was that everything had to be perfect. Everything just had to be perfect.

There was a knock on the door, I had barely gotten to it when it swung open revealing my mum.

"Oh," my mum said when she noticed my hand which had been reaching towards the door handle awkwardly lingering in the air, "you were taking too long."

It had not been up to three seconds.
