My eyes opened, and I rolled over next to me to turn on my phone, checking what time it was. My phone screen flashed in my face, my eyes hardly adjusting to the bright light. My eyes widened as I saw it was 8:20. I groaned, turning my phone off and trying to fall back asleep. After about 20 minutes of my unsuccessful attempts of falling back asleep, I finally decided to go downstairs and get myself some breakfast. Just as I sat up, the blood rushed up to my head and it started pounding. I rubbed my temples, trying to make the pain go away. After it finally did (sort of,) I walked downstairs. I had a cold and I guess it got a lot worse over night. I was alone, with just mine and Jake's dog Rascal. Jake, my boyfriend of 8 and a half years, was currently at his game in Pittsburgh, which was at 11:30. I had 2 and a half hours until the game, so I decided to watch Hannah Montana, because why not? I was still feeling miserable. I went to the bathroom to get some cold medicine, but had no luck. Once it hit 11:30, me and Rascal were on the couch, cheering on Jake. The first was over, resulting in a score of 2-0 Vancouver. It was a tradition for us that we called each other during intermission. My phone rang with the song "Best I Ever Had" by Drake. That was our song. "Jake." I whimpered. "What's wrong, sweets?" he asked. "I feel like I've been hit by a bus." I groaned, then starting another coughing attack. "Aww, I'm sorry baby. I'll be home as soon as I can. Once I get home we can cuddle and watch Friends, okay?" he told me and my heart swelled. "Okay. I love you." I told him. "Love you more." he responded and then hung up. The game rolled along, and Vancouver ended up losing, 5-4. My phone rang, signaling someone had texted me. I picked it up and read what it said.

kk :)I waited around the house, watching the Duke basketball game. Growing up, my brother was a huge Duke fan, even though we lived in Canada. My brother was my best friend growing up, and I always wanted to be just like him. So, that would be why I like Duke. Jake knew I had a very large crush on Grayson Allen, one of the star players on Duke. I was so wrapped up in the game, that I didn't even realize my boyfriend had come home. I turned around and saw my boyfriend laughing hysterically at me, recording me screaming at the tv. "JAKE!" I yelled, getting ready to go chase him. I took a step, and slipped, falling on my butt. "Ow!" I groaned. I stuck my arms up in the air, hoping Jake would get the message that he needed to help me up. Luckily, he did, and he lifted me up into his arms and wrapped my legs around his torso. "Having fun?" he asked, jokingly. "Barrels." I told him, sticking my tongue out at him. "I stopped at the drug store and picked up some cold medicine, and some chocolates. I know that won't make you feel better but I thought it would make you happy. Also, I bought you some flowers." he told me, handing me a bag which had box of chocolates, a bouquet of red and pink roses, and a bottle of cold medicine in it. "Aww, thank you baby. That was very sweet of you." I told him, kissing him softly. "Your welcome. Now, let's go watch Friends." he said, picking me up and carrying me into the living room. I laid my head down on his chest, as he ran his fingers through my hair. I fell asleep listening to Jake's heartbeat. What a way to fall asleep.
