Sunkissed

~fourteen 1/2~

Tommy and Y/n woke up MUCH later than expected, at least later than Y/n's parents expected. They were blissfully unaware of the slight adventure they went on the night prior. However the two teens were very grateful for the extra sleep they were allowed to get after staying up so late.

Despite the sleep, they woke up groggy and feeling a bit regretful of the action's impulsively taken. They still got up and made their way downstairs for brunch. Seeing as it was almost noon.

"Welcome to the land of the living dears." Y/n's mom said as they shuffled into the kitchen for food. Y/n just rubbed her eyes as she scoured the fridge for easy made foods, "Guess all the jet lag is finally hitting us.." she said quietly. Cursing herself for the lack of sleep that was entirely her own fault.

Tommy had sat at the counter and was drifting off again as he'd laid his head on the counter.
Y/n's dad look up from his phone and raised an eyebrow at the boy. "Maybe that one still needs to be dead for an extra hour or so." He said gesturing to the snoozing blonde lying on the marble.

Y/n looked over and snorted softly at her boyfriend. "Jeez," She walked over and nudged him "Tommy go back to bed." He just groaned and shooed her away with a weak attempt to swat her hand. "Nooooo, I'm already downstairs." She rolled her eyes and nudged him again. "Bed. Now." She said, slightly more stern than her previous attempt.

Tommy groaned and sat up, a sleepy annoyed look on his face. "Fine." He stood up and basically zombie walked back out and up the stairs.

"Well he's just a ray of sunshine huh?" Y/n's mom remarked sarcastically from her spot on the couch. Y/n scoffed and went back to her task of finding food. "Oh you have no idea Mum." she replied, pulling eggs and sandwich ingredients out of the fridge.

Setting to work, Y/n hummed as she cooked. Her voice and the gentle sizzle of the eggs accompanied by the soft whir of the AC being the only sounds in the house. She had just finished making a second sandwich when everything went still at the loud crash from upstairs. Y/n and her parents all exchanged glances.

"Tom?" Y/n called, "You alright?" She heard muted shuffling and a door opening. Tommy slowly entered her view as he descended the stairs. "I rolled off the bed...." He said quietly, head down as if ashamed. Y/n and her parents chuckled. Y/n walked over and ruffled his hair, "Well cmon clumsy boy, I made breakfast."

"More like brunch if you ask me." Her mum interjected. Her dad just slurped his coffee as if saying 'She's not wrong.' Y/n sighed and just led her boyfriend to the kitchen to grab the food. Her stomach growled in delight as she took in the smell before digging in.

Oh hey guys whats up. its ya boy.
Its been a while huh?
I intended to give this story to someone else, someone who could continue with the same gusto i had at the beginning. But alas, no one up to par has come across my inbox.
Its also been ages since I actually opened wattpad. Occasionally i would open the app and look at all my stories, this one that ive published, and the countless drafts i have saved. Trying to feel that spark of motivation to write. But I just felt kinda bleh you know? I took to strictly reading via A03, because lets be honest the writing on there is usually much better than most things we find on wattpad. But i decided to open it up today and i had a short burst of inspiration to write. So i wrote this very short bit (hence why its chapter 14 1/2) to give you all something as a sort of relief from my absence. I do still love this story deeply, its a testament to how far ive come over the years, as i started writing this when i was 16? 17? and im now 21. I hope you all appreciate this little half chapter and maybe if i can remember to check this more often, ill be able to write with a similar passion as when i started this. I love you all very much and i appreciate everyone who has had faith in me to continue writing this. i just think i need to stop viewing it as "i need to write so i can please my viewers" and more of "im writing because i want to create a world born of my own happiness"

I went through a very rough patch after my last authors note was published. I was in an unfortunate car accident just 3 weeks before my graduation. i posted while i was in the hospital and recovering from a broken foot and pelvis. And it's taken me 3 years to find my metaphorical footing again. my depression has had extreme dips and highs that left me emotionally exhausted since. But it has started to stabilize as my life becomes normal. Im engaged and moved away from my hometown with my fiance. So as my life settles i truly hope i can turn this into something truly wonderful.

With much love,
Sky <3
