Early in the morning my sister came into my room to wake me up. It's not really early, it's 10am but to me that's way too early. The traditions in this house haven't changed since I left to go on tour. Almost every morning we would eat together to ensure that we would be spending some time with the family before doing any other activities. Of course in some cases we don't have to but it's not often there's a case like that. I don't mind the morning family time at all but today all I want is to just rot in bed till I either die from starvation or I get so caught up with my own thoughts, making me go insane to the point where I'll off myself.

Morning positivity is definitely not what I'm known for, if that wasn't obvious already.

This morning I'm not just annoyed for no reason though. I look in the mirror and see how big of a mess I am. I still have eyeliner residue on my face and looking at my hair it's all frizzy, you can even see my brown roots peeking out behind the black hair dye, reminding me that I need to dye my hair and shower soon. Let's not even mention the dark circles under my eyes. I didn't get any sleep last night. The only thing on my mind was Sylvia... and then Lucas... and then back to Sylvia. I tried my hardest to get both of them out of my head. It's funny how I lose my girlfriend then not long after some lucas guy comes in and starts flirting with me which is also an issue cause as much as i try to deny it i do actually like it. I hate to admit that.

My life right now feels like a bad kdrama show... actually no, this is worse than a bad kdrama show.

Making my way to the living room, both my mom and Olivia took one look at my wild morning appearance and started giggling. It was pretty clear that they were trying to hide it but it was a little too late for that, I already saw them laughing.

"This is probably the best you've looked in years." Olivia said thinking she was some type of comedian. She was clearly unable to keep in her laughter and even though it's sweet I still decided to give a death glare.

"ha ha, shut up." I was being sarcastic showing off my so-called 'morning positivity'.

"Marc! Be nice." My mom complained and rolled her eyes at me. Mom didn't really seem in her greatest mood either this morning.

I tried planning out the day in my head so I'm sure I'll have something distracting me but my 'in head planning' got interrupted by my mom asking me a favor.

"Marc, can you go to the bakery again today? I'm back at work from today on, so won't be able to make it to the bakery myself"

I told my mom I would go, even though it pains me having to go there again after last time. As long as Lucas isn't at work today then there'll be no chance of me getting caught thinking about him or Sylvia and no chance of any further embarrassment.

Maybe I should call Angela and Kobi to see if they wanted to join me for some coffee at the cafe. I bet they would enjoy that, even though Angela probably would prefer getting beers and hooking up with random women if i know her well enough.. coffee is gonna have to do.

Angela insisted that she and Kobi would come to my place first so we all could walk to the bakery together as if we were "one big happy family." Her words not mine. On the way there I was surprised how little they asked about Lucas and or Sylvia, it's almost a relief. All we talked about was band stuff. We talked about a song I worked on right before Sylvia broke up with me, the lyrics I was writing were supposed to be about her but then she went and broke me. The song is still good but it has no real feelings to it anymore making it so hard to finish the lyrics when she was the inspiration for the song.

When we made it to the bakery Angela and Kobis eyes went wide open by amazement. I keep forgetting that they don't know about the places around this town which reminds me that there's so much I wanna show them.
