Arcane's POV

Today I woke up at 5 am- I don't know why? I sit on my mattress staring out of the window; It's still dark outside. The sun hasn't risen yet, I stretch my arms, and get up from my bed knowing I won't fall asleep.

Waking up this early was unnecessary since I have nothing to do, and my shift starts at 2 pm.

I went to the bathroom, pushed my hair up into a ponytail, washed my face brushed my teeth, and headed back to my room.

I glance at the window. The sun was rising, now that it's lighter outside I might go for a run.. or just stay here.

"It's Wednesday!" I excitedly say to myself, God! I love Wednesdays. I've always loved them, they're the best! Maybe I should go outside and work out.

I go over to my closet, strip out of my clothes, and change into black yoga pants, a sports bra, and a sweater on top since it's freezing out, and I don't want to catch a cold afterwards.

I put on my sneakers, throw my backpack over my shoulders, and head straight downstairs to the kitchen, I look around the empty space, I decide to eat breakfast later, so instead I take the dishes I did last night and put them back in their places. After I had finished I drink a cup of water and fill my water bottle.

I grab my keys and step out of the cabin, I lock the door behind me, and I start making my way  into the woods.

After runnig for some time, I stop to catch my breath. I close my eyes for a moment enjoying the silence. It's lovely to run and walk here since it's in the arse of nowhere- and people don't come here very often.

Yeah, I own a cabin in the arse end of nowhere.

I moved here 2 months ago, I used to live in a cabin like that since the day I was born, technically I was born in it, and when I turned 9 years old I moved here, 5 years later I had to move to the town so I could go to school- the town's like an hour and 40 minutes drive, even though I moved to the town for some time, my parent and I would spend every break here and it was nice. After I had graduated, I moved back- I'm not really into colleges and stuff so I dropped out and now I have a job.

My father was the one who designed the cabin. I have lived there for a long time. It brings me tones of memories the good and.. well the bad ones.

I take a deep breath brushing these thoughts away. I have been trying hard to avoid them for the last two years and a half, even though they hunt my sleep sometimes.

I sigh and put my backpack down, place my yoga mats on the dirty floor, I sit there, and close my eyes focusing on the birds' noise -it always calms me, even though it gets annoying sometimes-.

I start meditating, it usually helps me with anxiety and relaxes my mind.

After I had finished, I did some exercises, drank water and packed my stuff and carried my backpack, and begin walking back to the cabin.

I admire nature on my way back, I have always loved the smell of the forest and the vibes it gives.

I arrive, I take off my sneakers and place my keys and backpack on the kitchen counter, I wash my hands and make myself breakfast -a bowl of dry cereal and a cup of sweet milk.

And for lunch, I made a sandwich to eat later at work.

After eating, I check the time it's now 8:46 am so I climb upstairs to have a shower and then take a nap.

Waking up after nappes suck!

I rub my eyes and look over at the clock it was 11:34.
