"Payton," Caroline starts.

"No it's fine," I say.

She lets out a long sigh. She runs her fingers through her brown hair that once was blonde. I let out a short sigh, and flop down on the couch.

"So is Riley coming?" Caroline asks.

"Yeah," I check my phone, "anytime now."

As I say that Riley opens the door.

"Hey bitches!" She shouts and takes a seat in between Caroline and I.

"Hey there," I laugh.

Danny had a night shift. So girls night! I pick up three movies, Paper Towns, The Purge, or The Visit? We decided on The Visit.

"That was funny," Caroline laughs.

"I know right!" Riley agrees.

"It wasn't even scary! Some parts made me jump, but not scared," I admit.

"Yeah," Caroline and Riley agree.

"So what now?" I ask.

"Twister?" Caroline suggest.

"Sure," I laugh.

I get up, and dig twister out of the game closet in the back of the living room.

"Right hand green!" Caroline exclaims, and I do so.

"Left foot yellow!" She says, and Riley does as told.

"This is getting weird." Riley laughs hysterically.

"Yeah," I agree.

Caroline looks at to position Riley and I are in.

"Okay, let's play a different game!" She suggests walking over to the game closet, and Riley and I put twister back in.

~

"Uno!" I shout.

"UHG!" Riley groans.

"You are a fucking cheater!" Caroline laughs.

"I did not!" I defend.

My turn comes and I lay down my last card, I win!

"I'm tired," Caroline yawns.

"Me too!" Riley agrees.

I clean up uno, and put it away.

"I call guest room!" Caroline shouts.

"I call spare room!" Riley announces.

"I call my bedroom!" I laugh.

I walk up stairs. I walk into the bathroom in my bedroom. I strip, and take a hot shower. I get out, and put on flannel pajama shorts and one of Danny's T-shirts. I crawl into bed. I listen to pandora unto my eyes shut, and I drift off to sleep.

~

"Babe! Wake up! It's twelve thirty!" Danny shakes me.

My eyes flutter open.

"Hmm?" I yawn.

"It's twelve thirty. Don't you have a shoot today?" He asks.

"Fuck!" I shout.

My shoot is at one.

"Fuck!" I shout again.

I run to my closet. I put on a bra. I look at my pajamas, "no time!" I shout.

I slip on a pair of sandals. Not even bothering to do my make up. Speed walking to my car I run a brush through my tangled hair. I get into the car, and pull out. I drive to the studio. Twenty minutes to get ready!
