For the past year, 18 year old Camille has been getting away with four hours of sleep, a nine hour school day and an eight hour work day overnight. That is until her three teachers and a mystery guy walk into her diner one night.

My eyes only open again when I'm laid down into a warm bath.
The water soothes my aching body and I instantly relax.
My bones feel like mush after... that.
My eyes flutter closed again as I soak in the warm water. Someone holds chocolate to my lips which I nibble lazily, too tired to lift my head.
When I start to doze off, someone lifts me out and wraps me in a towel before picking me up and carrying me back to bed.
I'm placed between two warm bodies, and without even looking, I can tell it's Josh and Zander.
"Sleep well, sweetheart," Luka leans over and kisses my forehead.
"Goodnight, mon cœur," Gabriel does the same before they both leave.
I turn into Josh, who wraps his arms around me for me to rest my head on his warm chest. I let out a comfortable sigh as Zander spoons me from behind.
It isn't long until I drift into a deep sleep, only waking up again when the light begins to peak through the window.
Outstretching my hands, I frown when I feel the bed empty.
I sit up instinctively, my body instantly reminding me of last night's events.
Choosing to take an extra long hot shower to soothe my aching body, I raid Zander's closet and throw on a black t-shirt. It hits my mid-thighs and I smile as the scent of him invades my nose.
On shaky legs, I make it downstairs, only to see the apartment completely deserted.
Flopping myself on the couch, I pull out my phone.
With no new messages, I frown and place it on the coffee table before settling myself in a nest of blankets and pillows.
My eyes begin to fall heavy and I find myself slipping into sleep again.
"Princess," I'm softly shaken awake by someone. I open my eyes to see Josh crouching next to me.
"Where did you go?" I yawn as I sit up, looking around to see the others standing behind Josh.
"We had some business to attend to," Luka shrugs.
Forever the mysterious guy, huh?
"Business?" I narrow my eyes at them but Zander just shakes his head and sits next to me.
"How you feeling, baby?" he asks me.
"Fine," I say, not convinced by his change of topic.
"Have you eaten?" Gabriel asks and I shake my head. He immediately turns around and heads to the fridge, pulling out a few things.
"Let's go sit at the table, love," Josh says and moves to pick me up from the couch. I shake my head.
"I can walk," I protest and swing my legs over to get off the couch. I try to hide wincing.
