Rocking Chairs

Chapter 5

I woke up on the floor. My headache was gone, but now everything else hurts...

It took an enormous amount of effort in order to get my face inplastered to the floor, and once i was up, i glanced towards my digital clock, realising its 3:52 in the morning.

"Ughh..."

I began to pace my way down each step, slowly rocking back and forth. The stairs seem to go on forever because im litterally still half asleep.

When i finally hit the bottem of the steps, i decide to make my way around my house until i get to my living room, but before i get there, i glimpse out of the window and see Zack, outside by the three rocking chairs in my backyard.

Without realising how tired i am, i grab a blanket, rap it around myself, and rush outside.

"Oh, hey.. Um.. Why are you out here?"

Zach then turns in my direction seeming shocked, "Oh, Dylan... I didn't mean to see you out here...  Sorry to wake you."

I shiver a little, and adjust my blanket, and brush my hair in front of my shoulders.

"It wasn't you, i was just thinking about stuff... Why are you out here anyways?" I murmur. He can obviously tell i havent gotten much sleep in the past few days.

A strong gust of wind blew past us taking my blanket along with it. I decided to chase after it along with Zach who soon followed.

Me, being the idiot i am, and being half asleep, that while i was chasing after the blanket in my bare feet, tripped over Zach, and landed on top of him.

"Umm.. Hey.." I studdered, my cheeks were turning red, and he could obviously tell because his face was litterally three inches apart.

I finally decide to get off of Zach.. And once i was off, he went and got the blanket for me, which thankfully wasnt lost in the woods.

"You still never told me why you're here in the first place..." I blerted out, while Zach wrapped the blanket around my body.

"I'll tell you tomorrow." Zach then continued his way into the dark woods.
