Chapter 14- We're good, right?

Alexandra July 8th

Feeling my mind and body to wake up, I turn around in bed, stretching my muscles that are stiff from sleeping.

I hear someone talking in hushed tone, but I don't find it in myself to fully wake up.

I throw my arm around a pillow to get more comfortable, I don't understand people who sleep with only one pillow, that sounds like bare delusion to me.

I feel the pillow stiffen and I hear it take a sharp inhale like gasp, but I blame it on me being mentally ill or something along the lines, most likely me still being in confused sleeping state.

A hand gets placed on the back of my head.

First I hear vibrating and then the ringtone of my phone, even though it has been silenced since 2012.

I turn around suddenly in a search of my phone, finally finding it on the bedside table, I see Lucas sitting on the edge of the bed and Myles to my right.

He was probably the pillow that convinced me I was going mad.

I send them a hard glare for being here, the scowl so deep my forehead wrinkle doubles it's depth. I answer the call from my mom.

"Yes?" I sigh out.

"Good morning sunshine! Where have you lost yourself to in this beautiful day this time?" my dear mother asks, acting like I'm never home.

"Uhh," I look around, "I'm at Myles' right now"

"Ooh and who is that?" It's too early to sound this cheerful, I have no idea how she does that.

I sigh again like someone who has lived thousand years, "He's a friend. We went to his friends house last night and I got a little carried away and then I slept at his house." I twist the truth a little, explaining myself before she gets the chance to start questioning me, she's gonna do that later again anyways. "What time are we leaving by the way?"

"The train goes in two and a half hours, but we gotta get the bus before, so that's in an hour" I shoot up from my lying position.

She has to call me only an hour before we have to be on a bus already? I relax a little, remembering my things are packed.

"Okay then, are you guys ready to go yet?" I say, they are probably are planning to cancel or delay our trip back home.

"Mostly, Toby has some clothes to put away and we're getting dressed soon, so..."

"I'll get my ass off the bed and try to find my way back home then." I put my hand to my forehead.

"Would be nice yeah!" she chuckles.

"Bye!" I hang up the phone.

I throw my phone to the foot of the bed and slam my back, back to bed.

I groan, "And why are you here? It's fucking weird to sit here and watch me sleep"

I'm a little grumpy when I wake up, most mornings.

I look to Myles, "And you, you're basically sitting on me" He sends me an innocent smile, I scoff at that.

Though we talked before we went to sleep, there's still some weird tension in the air between us from yesterday.

Lucas comes and lays down next to me on the blanket that is still halfway on me. "What got you all grumpy this morning?" He grins at me. Him too?

"You" I answer shortly, mostly them because they were in this room while I was sleeping.
