[Day 36]

I woke up with a start at my ringing alarm clock. I threw the blanket off me and set my feet on the floor, I rubbed the sleep in my eyes as I walked in the darkness towards the bathroom. I took my clothes off and stepped into the shower, savoring the warm water pounding on my skin. I ran both of my hands through my hair and sighed. I took the bar of soap and rubbed it on my body before squeezing a small amount of shampoo onto my hand and rubbing it into my hair. I rinsed and grabbed the towel, drying my skin and wrapping it around myself. I faced the mirror. I stared at my reflection running my fingers along the dark bags under my eyes and the pale sickly complexion reflected in my skin. I looked awful. I looked like I hadn't gotten sleep in days.

I sighed once again and slipped into the room, slipping on my undergarments, rubbing my skin with lotion and spraying on some deoderant, shivering at how cold the room felt. I slipped on my black skinny jeans, a tank top, a long sleeve plaid blouse and my chucks. I took my bags and creeped down the hallway stopping at my mother's room to check and see if she was ready. Before I could slip into the room I heard Aunt Lisa talking to mom. About to decide that I should give them privacy and go downstairs I heard Aunt Lisa's words.

"Are you sure you want to go?"

"Yes."

"You don't look okay. We should just cancel the trip, stay here for the two weeks. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if you... If we lost you out there."

"No, Lisa. I want to go. Don't cancel the trip because of me. I want to spend a vacation with my family, not stuck in here. Okay?"

"But what if something happens to you out there? The hospital is miles away from there."

"Don't worry about me. I'm going to be fine."

"Well, we're not going to stay there for the whole 2 weeks, we're staying there for a week and we'll go home and celebrate Christmas here. I'm not going to risk my best friend's life."

"Fine. Now help me get ready."

I tip toed down stairs now not so sure about this trip. Aunt Lisa was right, what if something happened to mom while we we're there? I closed my eyes and pushed the thought to the back of my head. I heard the commotion coming from the garage and the kitchen. The boys we're in front of the car and the girls we're in the kitchen. I rushed towards the car with my bag.

Tanner and Uncle Scott stood facing me and you had your back to me. Tanner flashed me a smile and tapped your shoulder. You turned to face me and you showed me your award winning smile, making me melt a little on the inside.

I walked closer to you, you guys we're standing near the back of the van you rented every year for the trip. You took my bags and piled it onto the rest. Mom and Aunt Lisa came out with their bags and Tanner rushed to grab and pile the bags onto the other stuff. Samantha walked out with Alexa, who decided to come with us to the Cabin. We piled into the car and Alexa decided she wanted sit in the front with Uncle Scott behind them sat Aunt Lisa and Mom, after Tanner and Samantha and then the two of us. I know. The two of us.

You took the window seat and the car started as we made our way to our destination, it was going to be a long ride.

You turned to me and gave me a small smile, "How was your sleep last night?" I blushed a little at your question knowing we had talked 'till the wee hours of the morning.

"I had 3 hours. 3 hours of sleep." I said giving you a sleepy look.

I felt so tired. So so tired, and it didn't change the fact that your broad shoulders we're looking very tempting. It felt like my head was being drawn to your shoulder. I looked away, I was being creepy, staring so longingly at your shoulders. I sighed, remembering the days when I had the right of 24 hour access to those shoulders... Ah, those we're the days.

I looked towards the other side, the window to my right, to keep me from being tempted any longer. I felt my eyes get droopy and then out of nowhere I felt a hand on the side of my head placing it on the broad shoulders I'd been craving to rest my head on... The perfect fit.

"Get your rest, Juli... I know you need it." You whispered.

I smiled tiredly, "Just like the old days... huh?" I whispered not knowing you'd heard.

You stiffened at my words, but eventually you softened and placed your head on top of mine. I slept comfortably in the car for the first time in years. What a perfect fit.
