She opened the door with barely open eyes. Her hair was messy and she was in pajama shorts and a loose crop top.
"Can I stay the night?"
"What? Why?"
"Please."
"I— What time is it even?"
"Uh like 1 am."
"What the heck? Why aren't you at your house asleep?"
I blinked my eyes tightly and opened them, remembering the yelling match from earlier.
"Please let me stay the night." Regrettably, my voice shook and tears welled in my eyes as I pleaded.
She looked very confused but also really concerned. "Come in." She put her hand on my back and guided me to her room and had me sit on her bed.
"What's wrong?"
"Can I just sleep? I don't want to talk about it right now."
She looked me up and down for a minute until nodding. "Change first. Your clothes are dirty."
She went into her dresser and pulled out similar shorts to the ones she was wearing and a pink tank top. "Here."
I quickly changed in her bathroom before snuggling into her handmade blankets. They smelled like her. It was very comforting.
She turned the bathroom light off since I forgot to and then crawled in next to me. After getting the blankets comfortably on top of her, she wrapped her arms around my torso.
"You sure you don't want to talk?" she whispered in my ear.
For no reason at all, my heart was beating crazy loud in my ears and I was afraid even she could hear it. "Not yet."
She snuggled into my back without response. Mere seconds later, I felt her soft snores on my back.
I was out like a light after that.
