*Kat’s POV*
The next morning I woke up to a buzzing sound that mixed in the air with Niall groaning. The sun wasn’t even up yet so neither one of us was thrilled that something disturbed our slumber. “Babe your phone” Niall mumbled before turning over and burying his face in the pillow. I grabbed my phone to see who was texting me at such an unholy hour of the day.
Em: did u check your e-mail yet?
I got my e-mail
Did you get urs?
I quickly checked hoping I would have the e-mail I’ve been waiting months for. Sadly my inbox was empty.
Me: No. no e-mails whatsoever :(
Em: srry babe I thought that if I got mine u got urs :(
But maybe ull get it later today or this week they said it would be this week
Me: Yeah maybe :(
Em: srry I woke u 4 no reason go back to bed
Me: Its fine
I set my phone back on the nightstand and rolled over to try and sleep some more. Unfortunately it was useless; I was up for good now. Niall was snoring into his pillow and I didn’t have the heart to wake him up so I quietly slipped out of bed and went downstairs to find some food to drown my sorrows in. I drug myself downstairs and stumbled into the kitchen opening the refrigerator and saw nothing of interest so I opened the freezer and found some chocolate chocolate chip ice cream. I opened it up and grabbed a spoon, not bothering to get a bowl simply eating it straight from the container. I was eating my ice cream for about ten minutes when Maura came in.
“What are you doing up so early?” she asked surprised.
“Couldn’t sleep” I replied.
“Why not?”
I just shrugged as I stuffed my face with more ice cream. Maura pulled out a spoon and helped herself to some of the ice cream.
“Kat I’ve know you since you were 2. I can tell when something’s bothering you, now spill.”
“Emily and I both applied for a theatre studies program at the London Study Centre. We were supposed to get our acceptance e-mails this week and Emily got hers but I haven’t gotten mine.”
“Why didn’t you tell Niall?”
“How did―”
“You wouldn’t be down here stuffing your face with ice cream alone at 7 o’clock on a Monday morning if you had.”
“I dunno. I guess I didn’t want to get my hopes up. You know how excited Niall can get about things.”
“When did Emily get her e-mail?”
“I guess this morning she woke me up asking if I got mine.”
“Then why are you so upset! I’m sure they have tons of e-mails they have to send out. There’s no need to assume the worst yet!”
“I know but shouldn’t they have some sort of automated messaging thing that just sends all the e-mails out at once?”
“Kat would you just take the little bit of hope I’m trying to give you! Neither you nor I know their system. The point is don’t get so upset over something that isn’t set in stone.”
