✿ Aileen's POV
My eyes are forced opened and a pair of dark brown eyes are gazing directly at me.
“Are you dead?”
Her breath tickles my face and I groan and faceplam her away from me. She giggles.
“Sweetheart stop bothering her” Bonnie scolds.
“But mom she's been lying in bed since Friday!”
I groan.
“How are you so cheery every morning, Cami?” I sigh, sitting up.
She smiles as her mother walks over to carry her from my side.
“It got you to wake up” she giggles.
“Sorry, Lee. You okay?” Bonnie whispers, touching my forehead.
I swat her hand away.
“I don't have a temperature, Bon” I say.
“Really? Because two nights ago you looked like you were going to die.”
“It was a stomach bug” I defend.
Coated with a lot of sugar.
“And you know that how?”
“It's self diagnosable.”
“Right” she says and walks into my room with her daughter on her hip.
I get up from the bed in the corner of rooftop balcony and follow them inside the room. I yawn and scratch my head.
“Sorry Bon, but I need to borrow your daughter” Natalie goes, taking the little girl from her mother as she passes by them at the door.
Bonnie shakes her head and leaves.
“Okay sweetie. We're going to TikTok. You ready?” she asks the child.
“Why do you have to do this every morning? And why do you have to do it in my room?” I ask, crossing my arms.
Natalie looks over at me and makes a face.
“Ugh why do you look like the walking dead?” she shudders.
“Because she's been sleeping outside since Friday” Cami answers.
“No Camari. I sleep outside every night” I say. “You know that.”
“Well you sleep like a log.”
“Kid's not wrong” Natalie chuckles.
“Get out” I say, moving into the bathroom.
“Nuh-uh. Your room has got the best lighting in the whole house.”
“And your house has been deleted?” I ask, squeezing some toothpaste onto my brush.
“No, my parent's common decency has been deleted and so our lightening sucks".
“Mm” I hum and peek to make sure Camari is safe before closing the bathroom door.
Thirty minutes later I walk back out, toweling my hair and it's a party on my bed. I roll my eyes and turn off the lights that were for some reason, on.
“Could you all get out so I can get dressed?” I ask.
They stop laughing and stare blankly at me. Bonnie opens her mouth to say something but Natalie stops her.
“From the words of my favorite vampire...” she smiles. “If I see something I haven't seen before, I'll throw a dollar at it.”
I roll my eyes.
