Julia's POV
When I hop out of the shower, I dry off and wrap my hair up in the towel. I change into pajama shorts and an old relay for life tshirt. I put my hair in a pony tail and out on my favorite peach Lulu Lemon headband. I brush my teeth and head to Bonnie's room. I lay out my turquoise sleeping bag and flop to the ground.
Someone sits on me and I struggle to say "I. Can't. Breath." and hear laughing from Bonnie and Ross. Bonnie gets off of me while I mumble "I almost died" into my pillow which makes them laugh harder. They both lay down around me.
We talk about random things which I found hard to do since I didn't want to directly address Ross but I didn't want it to seem like I was avoiding him. It was a struggle. I tell them I'm going to go to sleep and they say they are too.
I notice that night that Ross still sleeps with me and Bonnie in Bonnie's room. We lay in a circle with our heads facing in on our sleeping bags on the floor. I try to act completely normal.
I'm really tired and about to fall asleep when Ross says my name. I decide to ignore it and pretend I'm asleep. All of a sudden, Ross mentions my name to Bonnie.
Ross: Bonnie, why won't Julia go out with me?
Bonnie: You asked her out?
Ross: Yes can you please answer my first question.
Bonnie: well ummm it's because I told her not to. I've always liked you and I just didn't want her to date you if I couldn't.
Ross: but you have a boyfriend.
Bonnie: fine. I guess you can. I feel bad. It seemed like Julia was really upset.
Ross: YESSSS!!!!!!!
I'm so excited!!!!!!! But I don't say anything. I can't give up my sleeping cover.
*in the morning*
I wake up with a smile on my face if that's even possible. But then I remember I can't be happy because I wasn't supposed to hear the conversation that happened last night. I sit up and notice that both Ross and Bonnie are watching tv. It's 11 o'clock so of course I'm the last one awake. What can I say? I like sleeping late.
"Morning sleeping beauty" Ross says to me. I shoot him a puzzled look. He just called me beauty in front of Bonnie, even if it was just a reference to the fairy tale.
"You could've woken me. I feel bad that you guys were waiting for me to wake up" I say.
"Don't worry we haven't been awake that long" says Bonnie. "Now let's go get some breakfast."
I walk behind her down to the kitchen and slide along the window seat until I'm in the middle of the table. I don't say much because I'm not a morning person by any stretch if the imagination.
"Julia, do you feel okay? You haven't really eaten anything and you love to eat" Lauren says.
I smile and respond "I'm fine I'm never really hungry in the morning." She walks away and I check my phone.
"Oh my mom is here. I guess I promised my I would clean my room. Ugh I really wish I could stay. Thanks so much Lauren and Bonnie. Bye guys!" They all day bye and I run upstairs to grab my bags and walk out to my car. My mom asks me how my night was and I respond with the usual good. I have very mixed feelings from last night and all I want to do is go home and sleep since I was up last night.
My mom drops me home and she goes to run errands. I guess I'm alone for the day. I walk into my kitchen and make some pasta since it's now 12 and I didn't really eat breakfast. I was just straining the noodles when the doorbell rings.
