*Ring* In total dark there laid a petite figure of the lady. Groaning on hearing the annoying ring of her alarm, she in disdain shut her alarm off. The lady again went in her dreamland, another fifteen minutes passed on and the alarm once again snooze this time with much high volume. Peony was very well aware of her habit and had her alarm set to snooze for two time's. Shutting the alarm again which showed 6:00 am in the morning. she took a deep breath and sat up ruffled her hairs. Getting out of her bed, the first thing she did was folding her blanket to not to flop on the comfortable, fluffy mattress and drown in her sleep.

After taking a shower, she completed her morning routine moving out of the bathroom penny walked into her room. Swerving her hand through her wet hairs she stood infront of her closet taking out pairs of clothes for different ----. she wore leggings and an upper to do some yoga. She was very much habitual of yoga, streching her limbs and feeling the satisfaction of her body muscles was like a addiction for her, she loves to do it. After doing some poses she folded her yoga mat standing tall on her feets she turned around.

"Oh my god, How long have you been standing here?" A gasped sentence left her mouth as Her hands flew to her chest and mat touch the ground with a thud. Lily stood there with a spoon in her mouth and a cup in her hands staring at penny with her dark eyes.

"Huh, what." Lilly's attention was back to herself which she gave to penny. "Oh, yeah penny. Actually I want to talk to you about something". She said and put her cup on side table.

"What is it." She picked up her yoga mat and folded it again. When she didn't hear anything from her friend, she started looking at her raising her eyebrows. "Is something wrong." Penny didn't like her silence, because Lilly is a bit of talker girl she can't be so quiet, Penny knows her roommate quite well in this matter.

"Actually I am going for a business tour, it is me this time who is going to represent our company, it is a big project i have ever got it is going to be hectic but I am excited enough do wish me luck that we get the deal but there's a problem it isn't for one week or two but for a month. I dont want to leave you alone. Btw, I am sorry as well I didn't tell you earlier because I am leaving in afternoon, Adam will pick me up." Penny was listening to everything that lilly was saying, her heart was falling with every word, all she could hear is Lilly leaving her alone, unconsciously her hands started shaking. Penny was realizing that her body was springing up, she quickly took a deep breath and calmed herself down. It wasn't that Penny didn't want to let her go, it was that She was afraid of her loneliness.

"Congratulations girl,. Why didn't you tell me before, and you are giving me a treat before you leave?" Penny was very happy for her and congratulated Lilly hugging her tight. As every word started to sink in her brain her worries flew away In lilly's happiness she dismissed her throat crushing thoughts pushing them deep inside her brain from where they won't surface any soon.

"Ofcourse treat, but you didn't hear me clearly. How will you manage it on your own." Lilly said, concern laced with every word. Her brows were creased a little. Penny fell silent for a moment or two because she didn't knew what to say in return her face was showing none of her inner battles. Lilly know what happens when penny is left alone for longer than she should be left alone. It was never that fatal before but as penny started to disappear in her own brain she unconsciously harmed herself.

"I will do something, I mean I will call Mason to stay with me for some days." She said nonchalantly ofcourse those moments are transitory but they do effect her mentally. How much ever she shows her nonchalance and her constant amelioration isn't helping her that much. Lilly don't seem to trust the facade of a wavering smile she have been maintaining but only penny can sense her discomfort under lilly's scrutinizing gaze.
