From The Ashes, We Rise

Butterflies and Hurricanes

Another restless night, damn it. I rolled onto my side glancing at my phone and noticing that it was morning already. I just groan rubbing my head in annoyance, I just don't get it anymore I try to sleep, I try to close my eyes but just every time I do I feel like I'm doing something wrong, like really wrong. My head starts throbbing, and that damn fucking sound just keeps coming back, but tonight was the worse of it, it was so fucking loud and ear piercing, it was fucking ringing in my god damn skull and wouldn't leave me the fuck alone, and I still can't figure out what the fuck it was as it was still really fucking muffled but as time went on it got clearer and clearer but it still just sounds like ringing to me at this point. I groan before flipping myself over so I could stare at the ceiling, maybe this was an effect of taking all of those.....pills.

Laying there I just got lost in thought, I was definitely tired but just couldn't sleep, and I tried to come up with so many reasons why, and as I was I didn't notice that I wasn't alone and that something was getting closer to me. I then jumped out of bed, when something threw the blinds open, causing me to crash onto the floor hitting my head against the wall, as I sat up and groaned rubbing the spot, as a familiar voice shouted happily, "Kikkeriki!!", as I just glared at her in annoyance. "What the hell Kiara?!", I yelled at her who still had that massive smile on her face, "Get up sleepy head, we're wasting daylight!", she says as I just gave her a look.

Looking back at my phone, I glanced back at the time just to see how early it was before I looked back at her like she was insane. "Kiara it's five in the goddamn morning what the fuck?!", I looked at her like she was crazy as that carefree smile was still, "Yup it is! Now get up.", she states while throwing clothes at me, "Now get dressed, we're going out today!", she tells me as I groaned before trying to climb back in bed, "Yeah later, I'm tired", I say while trying to get back to bed, word try. As I covered myself in my sheets, I could hear a "hmph", and a muffled, "So it's going to be like that huh?", before I could question what she meant I'm hit with a sharp pain as all of a sudden I'm both wet and freezing, this causes me to yelp as I launch out of the bed hitting my head on a random object that Kiara was holding, which turned out to be a bucket. Glaring at her I shout at her, "Kiara what the hell?!?", she just had that same smile on her face her eyes closed, but I knew there was a different emotion hiding behind it, "We're going out today, just me and you.", she states happily as I go to argue, "Kiara it's too early to do anythi-", "I said we're going out today. GOT IT?", she says as that smile left her face, she leaned forward her face in mine as I her expression changed to that of annoyance and her eyes had a raging fire in them, "Yes ma'am", I told her as I saw her mood do a complete 180 as that smile returned, "Good", she says before giving me a quick peck on my head before happily skipping out of the room, "I'll be waiting down stairs, don't take too long~". I just sat there for a moment as I didn't realize I was holding my breath, "Women are scary.", I say out loud as I felt as if I dodged a bullet right there.

After a quick shower, I quickly head down the stairs to find Kiara sitting there humming to herself as she was waiting. I just groan in annoyance at how my morning started, rubbing my head as Kiara stood up grabbing my hand before pulling me out the door not even letting me get a moment to breathe, "Come on let's go already!!", she says while pulling me out of the garage as I looked back to see my car just sitting there, "K-Kiara what about the ca-?", "Walkings better for you!", she states interrupting me as she continues to drag me, as I glance back at it. It wouldn't hurt to leave it, right? "Alright, fine", I say as a small smile forms on my face, "Anyways what's got you in a mood?", I asked questioning her as she hasn't acted like this before, but she looks at me winking, "You'll see~", she teases as I just rolled my eyes. It has to be something pretty big if she's acting like this, I think to myself.

Looking at the massive building, I had a very disappointed look on my face as I looked back at Kiara who stood there with stars in her eyes, "Seriously this?", I asked as she looked back at me. "Yeah it's the grand opening, and I want to be the first one!!", she states proudly as I look back at the restaurant groaning as I could see the recognizable face of a certain Colonel. "You seriously want to eat here? For breakfast?", I asked somewhat disappointed in Kiara's....my girlfriend's taste in food, as she looks at me with this disgusted look as if I had said something wrong, "What's wrong with it?", she asked as I just looked at her dumbfounded and I go to open my mouth to say something, but I bit my tongue, "nothing, its fine.", I say to here as I could see her expression change once again, "Alright, good now come on!!", she says as she drags me into the building, "I want to be the first one to get anything, I even made sure that we would be the first ones to-", she starts before looking at the room as a tick mark formed on her head, "God fucking damn it!!", she shouts as I look surprised by her word choice.
