I lean my head against the window as Colson drives us home. Music escapes the speakers in loud bellows. I watch as raindrops hit the window as my eyes slowly close and I fall into the darkness of sleep.
~*****~
I roll over, arms searching the bed for my stuffie when my legs became tangled in the blanket and I sporadically fall off the bed and onto the floor.
"Owwie." I groan and slowly sit up only after hitting my head on my nightstand. "Ouch. Why am I such a klutz?" I ask myself as I rub my hand on my head.
I gather my surroundings, soon realizing that I fell asleep in the car not in my bed and that it was daytime when my door flies open.
"What happened? Are you okay?" Ash stands in the threshold looking terrified. I glare at him and get up wrapping my blanket around me.
"Holy fuck, chill out. I just fell off the bed. I'm fine." I give him a quick hug. "Speaking of which, have you seen Cuddles?" I say tiredly as he looks at me confused.
"Cuddles? Your teddy bear?"
"No. My pet giraffe." I say sarcastically say while rolling my eyes. "Yes, Ash. My teddy bear."
"I honestly haven't seen it, Sam."
"Fine.." I move past him and down the stairs where Colson is sitting on the couch with a laptop on his lap. I stand in front of him for a couple minutes before he notices me.
"Well, good morning sunshine." I tighten the blanket around me and cross my arms.
"What did you do with Cuddles?" He just stares at me completely lost. "I know it was you dipshit."
"Wh-who is Cuddles?" I slap his head.
"My stuffie, you idiot."
"Oh. Yeah I put him in the dryer." I look at him wide-eyed. "What?"
"Why? You're gonna destuff him!"
"Woah. I just spilt some water on it. I'm sorry I didn't know.." He throws his arms up in defense, knocking his laptop onto the couch in the process.
"Ugh." I drop the blanket and walk to the laundry room. I open the dryer and feel around for my bear. Quickly pulling it out, I examine it for tears or holes. Finding none I hug it tightly and walk back to Colson.
"You are very lucky bud. Very lucky." I sit next to him cuddling my warm bear.
"I'm sorry. I really didn't know." He looks down somewhat ashamed.
"It's okay. I guess I can't really blame you." I lay my head on his shoulder and drop the bear in his lap. "Here. It needs a friend while I go search the art room." He pokes the bear then looks at me. "It's not going to eat you."
"I know. I just never had one when I was younger. Anyway. Why the art room?"
"I gotta find my SFX stuff."
"SFX as in like horror movie stuff?"
"Yeppers." I poke his cheek then start to walk towards the basement door.
"Can I help? I noticed you have some high shelves and I'd rather not have you climbing any before your set tonight."
"Dammit. I forgot about that. What time do I have to be there again?"
"Six thirty-ish. It's like eight thirty now so you have tons of time." I open the door and start going down the stairs.
"Good. Maybe I'll get to do some practicing beforehand."
