Emily (XV)

  When I enter the room, I barely have the strength to change my clothes. I take them off as carefully as if my body was sore. With my pajamas on, I lie down on the bed to try to sleep, because any dream is better than this reality. But ten minutes pass and all I can do is change position. I put on the silk eye patch and try to sleep, once again to no avail. I get up, stressed, and go to the roof to see if the sky and the moon will calm me down, and indeed I start to have random thoughts as I focus on a point in the sky. Shortly afterwards, sleep begins to make itself felt, but when I walk into the bedroom and look at the clothes I've taken off, I sigh, because I've just remembered what I wanted to forget. However, I rush to bed to take advantage of the sleep I was feeling, but nothing. I used my cell phone, I tried to read, but I couldn't focus, I counted sheep, cows, sheep and all the animals on the farm. I went to do some exercises, which were for homework but once again I couldn't focus. I tidied up my room and when I finished and looked at the time, it was almost six in the morning. My eyes weigh a ton each and the tiredness of tidying my room is making itself felt. I lie in bed and the next thing I know:

- Emily, Emily! Wake up! - whispers Lis in my ear.
- Hmm." I make some noises with my mouth.
- Friend, it's already two in the afternoon. You can't spend the day in bed. - she tells me, rolling me over so that I'm on my stomach and taking off my eye patch.
- Let me sleep. - I beg.
- Jesus, when did you go to bed? You have dark circles under your eyes. - Look.
As I haven't woken up properly to be answering questions, she tells me:
- All right. Let's wake up. - Raise the blinds and open the window.
- Are you going to die today? - I say, sitting up from the bed to try and wake up.
Soon we're in the bathroom, while I'm washing up and waking up.
- Six in the morning. - I say.
- What? - asks Lis, without realizing it.
- It was the last time I remember being awake, so it was around that time that I fell asleep.
- So sorry, girlfriend. I said it was two in the afternoon to wake you up, because it's still eleven in the morning. - tell me.
- Really? - I say, after spitting out the toothpaste.
- But now that you're awake, let's take advantage and go out to see if you'll shiver.
- I'm not going to comment, because if I do, I'll offend you. - I say. The truth is that deep down I know she's a good friend and wants to help me. The problem is that I just wanted to be in my room depressing myself while listening to sad music. That's what everyone does, isn't it? At least, that's what I usually do.
  I get dressed very cheaply and end up leaving the house being pushed by Lis. Future note: My parents betrayed me by saying I was right to go out with Lis.
