song: asleep - the smiths

4:29am

another sleepless night, i never used to have trouble sleeping but ever since the incidents that have occurred over the past few years my thoughts always disturbed my sleep.

i could of saved them i think to myself before pushing myself out of the hotel bed and into the bathroom. i stare at myself in the mirror, my long ginger wavy hair all scrapedd up into a messy bun, my dark brown tired eyes water as the light from the bathroom blinds me.

"i look like a mess" i say to myself as i wash my face with a damp flannel.

i walk back into my hotel room and check my phone, one new message from Darcy six hours ago, it reads; 'tomorrow is an important day addilyn make sure your rested, your going to need all the sleep you an get, ill pick you up at 7:30am dont be late;) - Darcy x'

"oh great, i need to be up in two hours to get ready and so far ive had no sleep at all" i say and as climb back into the hotel bed.

tomorrow is a big day, its the MTV music awards and my father's old friend, Darcy, has spoken to the event manager to let me onto the carpet to make sure everyone who needs to be there at certain times are there. so basically i spend the whole day walking around with a clipboard checking names off. i do really appreciate this though i do need to get my mind of things so it should be okay i guess.

Darcy is the event managers personal assistant, however my dad knew her ever since they were two years old and they were really close, they never dated as they only saw each other as friends. they would do anything for each other which i found really sweet. ive never really had a friend like that, ive never really had anyone its always just been me alone which sucks but you get used to it after a while.

i finally managed to quieten my thoughts and slowly drift of too sleep.
