The things I did

There Goes the Peace

     You stretch your arms out as you awaken from your sleep. As you lay on your back, you turn your head to see Sarah still asleep in your bed. You smile to yourself, Sarah truly was the best sister. You reach over for your phone where it usually lays while you sleep, on the night stand.

     The time reads 9 AM on your phone and you see that you have a text message. You open your messages and see that Lizzie has texted you.

                                   MESSAGES

     Lizzie: Morning! Thank you again for your help with my hand, I really appreciate it. Feel free to come over whenever to change the dressing. I'll be home resting ;)

    You smile and shake your head as you read Lizzie's text. You place your phone back on the night stand as you lean up in bed, stretching your body some more. You get out of bed and walk over to your bathroom to wash up.

     As you finish washing up, Sarah is still asleep in bed. You quietly call Bernie off your bed and open the door slowly, allowing Bernie to exit your room. You walk out of your room and slowly close your door, trying not to disturb Sarah. You make your way downstairs with Bernie to make yourself breakfast.

     "Good morning" Holland says as she sits at the table, reading the paper.

     "Morning" you say with a big smile on your face.

     You didn't know why the smile was on your face, but you didn't care. You were finally starting to feel good about yourself and you loved it. You poured yourself a bowl of cereal and joined Holland at the table.

     "Any plans for today?" Holland asks as she takes a sip from her coffee, keeping her attention on her paper.

     "Only to go to Lizzie's at some point to change her dressing" you say as you begin to eat your cereal.

     "And I imagine Sarah will be joining you to Lizzie's house" Holland asks as she lowers her paper to look you in the eyes.

     You look Holland in the eyes, "Did she tell you?" You ask, becoming suspicious of Holland's words.

     "How could she not, I'm her girlfriend" Holland says as she raises the paper back up.

     You giggle as you shake your head. You weren't mad that Sarah told Holland about Robbie, you know Holland is just as protective of you as Sarah is.

     You quickly finish up your cereal as you can see Bernie doing the pee-pee dance near the door.

     "I'm coming, I'm coming" you say as you run to put your bowl in the sink.

     You grab Bernie's leash from the key rack and go to hook it onto her collar.

     "I'll be back in a few minutes Holland! I'm going to take Bernie out" you say as you open the front door.

     "Okay dear!" Holland shouts at you as she keeps her eyes on her morning paper.

     You roll your eyes as Holland is unable to keep her eyes off her paper. Holland reads the paper every morning, it was her routine.

     You begin to walk Bernie down the driveway, out on to the sidewalk. As you walk Bernie, you see a familiar figure approaching you.

     You squint your eyes, trying to make out the figure. "Liz-Lizzie?"

     You watch as a smile grows on the figures face, "Hi, (Y/N)" Lizzie says.

     Lizzie pulls you in for a hug with her good hand, being mindful of her injured hand.
