I woke up with a searing pain in my head, a reminder of the events of the last few days, and an indicator of how the day is going to go. There's only about 2 months left of school. Why did all of this fucking drama have to pop up now?

I sat up slowly as to not agitate my head ache and saw that Aspen was hanging off the side of the bed. Normally, I would push him off and onto his face but I couldn't be bothered to wake him.

Desperately needing a shower, I made my way to the bathroom and turned on the water. Stepping out of my clothes I got in and let the warm water run over my skin. Using my vanilla shampoo I lathered my hair and then rinsed it out before continuing with washing the rest of me.

Once I was finished I got out and wrapped a fluffy towel around myself and dried off before getting dressed. I put on a pair of plain black jean shorts and an All Time Low sweater over a black tank top. Now I know what your thinking,

'It's practically 30 degrees outside (A/N degrees Celsius) how on earth are you wearing a fucking sweater?!'

Well the answer is that Anna is a stupid bitch and had to cut me all the way up my arm to my elbow. It's not like I can wear bracelets up that far, otherwise I would be in a T-shirt.

Grumbling to myself I threw my hair up into a messy bun and put on minimal makeup. I am not in the mood for today. After I put my towel in the hamper and brushed my teeth I left the bathroom. Walking back into the room I grabbed my bag and my phone before turning to look at Aspen, who was still flopped over the edge of the bed.

That cannot be comfortable at all. I went over and tried to carefully lift him back onto his pillow without waking him up. I didn't even get him on the pillow when I felt his arms snake around my waist and pull me closer. I lightly giggled when he barely opened his eyes to look up at me before kissing his forehead.

"As, you have to let go. I'll be late for hell if I don't go soon."

"Five more minutes, I don't wanna go to work yet and I want to stay here with you."

Why did he have to be so sweet to me? My heart melted and I leaned in and pressed my lips to his. He pouted as I pulled away and I couldn't help but laugh at how adorable he looked.

"As much as I would love to do that, I have to go. I already missed yesterday and I don't want to get too far behind in my classes. But I will call you later."

He sighed and kissed me before letting me go. I grabbed my bag and headed down the stairs and out the front door. As soon as my foot hit the front step all I wanted to do was turn around and run back upstairs into the arms of one of the few people in the world to make me feel safe.
