Golden Globes 2024

The drive home seemed quite quicker than usual. I feel as if I was in a trance the whole drive, and that I just magically appeared in front to the large gates that hold the Mansion I call home. Tonight was so much fun... and I wish it could've never ended. However, it did have to, because if Father saw I was gone... with Link... he would probably kill us both.

When I reach the gates and open them, I start to drive up when Cado stops me, so I roll down my window. "Hi Cado... I'm so sorry, I lost track of time." I say apologetically.

"Ms. H- Zelda." He says still getting used to calling me Zelda. "You said you would be back soon. You were gone for nearly 3 hours, it is near midnight." He says a little disappointed.

"I know, Cado. I'm sorry... I just lost track of time. Please don't tell Father... please." I say tearing up a little.

"I won't tell Mr. Hyrule, but this should never happen again Zelda... is that understood?" He asks.

"Yes, Cado... I'm really sorry." I say with a nod. Cado then waves me on, and I continue to drive up the drive way and to my house. There are no lights in the house, which is a good sign... but I also can't see the back or the sides of the house. I park my car in the front, and quietly get out and close the door. I walk up to the front door, carefully turn the key, and slowly walk into the house. It's pitch black inside... but I can't turn on my flashlight, so I try to make my way through the house... holding my hands out so I don't run into anything. I finally find the staircase... and quietly make my way up and to my bedroom door. I turn the knob, and walk inside. Once I'm inside, I quietly close the door behind me and make my way over to my nightstand and turn on my lamp. It gives just enough light for me to see my bed and into my closet, but not enough to creep under the door from my room and into the hall. I grab a over sized shirt and shorts, and walk into my bathroom. If I take a shower it will be too loud, so I remove my make up, and just wash my face. As I'm about to change, I realize I still have Link's sweatshirt on. I change into my sleepwear, fold Link's sweatshirt, and place it on the bench at the foot of my bed. After that, I brush my teeth, put on lotion, and do my nightly face routine. No matter how late it is, I have to do all of this, every night.

When I'm done in my bathroom, I turn off the lights and crawl into my bed. I lay my head on my pillow, bundle myself with blankets, and close my eyes to sleep...

Okay, why can't I fall asleep? It's been over 3 hours... and I can't seem to fall asleep. I've been staring at the map of Paris on my ceiling for the past hour, and the other two hours I spent petting Terrako and scrolling through instagram. I get out of my bed and look around my room to find something to help me fall asleep. I can't listen to music, I'll start singing and crying to Taylor's beautiful songwriting. I can't read a book to help me sleep... that will only keep me up even longer... and many books make me cry too. Homework could make me tired, but I did all my homework for this weekend. I don't know what to do! And then I see it... Link's sweatshirt. Could it help me fall asleep... Link does kind of... comfort me. I walk over to it, and pick it up as if it was made of glass. I gently hold in my hands... I can't wear this, it's Link's, I need to return it to him. All though... he did say I looked better than him in it, I'm sure he was just saying that though. I'll just try it on. I slide the sweatshirt over my head and pull it down over myself. It's goes over my shorts... you can't even see them. I walk over to my mirror to see how I look... I have no idea how Link thought this looked cute. I looks like I'm not wearing anything other than a sweatshirt. At least earlier, you could see I had a skirt underneath. I have to admit though, it does feel nice. It keeps me warm, the fabric on the inside is very soft, and... it smells like him. Without even thinking, I crawl back into bed and lay my head against the pillow. For some reason, I feel very comfortable now. I slowly close my eyes when my phone buzzes on my nightstand. I reach for it and look to see what it is about.
