Open your eyes (A Sjips Fanfiction)

Chapter 3

~Sjin's Pov~

My eyes flutter open, immediately met with light brown ones and a bright smile.

"Good morning sleepyhead." Erin says. "Good morning roommate." I yawn, returning the smile. "You and I fell asleep on the couch last night, so when I woke up this morning I figured you want a little something." She turns and grabs a cup off the table. "Half hot chocolate, half coffee, and a bit of cream. Just how you like it." I sit up and grab the cup taking a small sip.

"Thank you Erin. It's appreciated."

"So, do you have work today?" I sip a bit more of my drink before answering. "I believe so, but I have tomorrow off. Hey, maybe we could go meet the new neighbors together?"

"Ooh that's a good idea. We don't have the, most friendly, neighbors. I bet none of those jokers even know our old neighbors moved out, or that new ones are moving in." She giggles.

"Your probably right. What time is it by the way?" She checks her watch. "9:30 in the morning. I let you sleep in a bit." I tense. "What day is it?" "Friday..?" I jump up. "Oh shit, I'm streaming today at 10:00 with Lewis and Duncan!"

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry." She says also jumping up from the couch. "It's okay don't worry about it. Now get your ass upstairs and get dressed woman!" She laughs heading upstairs, as I chug the rest of my drink before heading upstairs myself.

Throwing on a new pair of boxers, skinny jeans, a t-shirt, and my beanie I run back down stairs.

Shit, shit, shit. I dash around the kitchen, preparing a bagel for myself and Erin. She hops down the stairs running into the kitchen and tossing me a pair of socks. I slip them on and pass the bagel down to her. We hold the bagels in our mouths while putting on our sweatshirts and jackets. I grab the keys, we throw on our shoes and out the door we went. Driving to the towers as quick as possible.

I didn't want to be late to the livestreams again, but luckily we got there with hardly any traffic to stop us. 9:59. Getting out of the car we head into the building and upstairs.

Erin and I split up saying our little goodbyes. And I rush to the livestream room after a quick detour to my room to grab my notepad.

"Hey guys." I say slipping on my headphones on. "Oh my god Sjin it's 10:15, the streams have started where were you?" Duncan asks sounding a bit peeved. "Oh jeez Duncan, calm down. He was probably having some private sexy time with Erin. I saw them leave together last night." Lewis says with a teaseful tone.

I give a light giggle to brighten the mood. "No sorry, I just slept in a bit today and completely forgot about the streaming schedule."

Lewis rolls his eyes. "Typical Sjin.." Duncan mutters. "Hey!" I interject, but we all start laughing instead.

This is going to be one long stream..

'Beep, Beep, Beep, Be-'

I reach over and stop the alarm.

"Good morning Car-" But I stop mid-sentence remembering that she never came home last night. And she certainly wasn't back yet.

I called her 8 times last night, I was worried sick. She didn't pick up a single phone call. I worry that something happened to her, but at the same time I feel like she's in a safe place. This isn't the first time its happened anyways. It seems to happen a lot recently. She disappears for the longest times but when she returns it's always the same case.

"I was stressed out, so I went to Lucy's house to talk it out. I just lost track of time again and ended up spending the night. Sorry I didn't call I had my phone off.."

It's a bit suspicious, but at the same time I don't like to question it. I trust her, and if she says that she spent the night at her best friend's house, she spent the night at her best friend's house.

I decided to roll out of bed, that was the 12:30 alarm anyways. Half the day is already gone, why not.

Heading to the kitchen in my pink bunny slippers and robe, I pour myself a bowl of cereal. Sitting at the table, eating, I start to wonder when Carlada might be back. But my question gets answered as the front door opens and closes. I drop my spoon and head to the door. Embracing Carlada in a hug.

"I'm so glad your back, I missed you." I whisper into her hair. She quick hugs me back.

"I'm so sorry that I was stressed out. I went back to Lucy's house to talk it out. I just lost track of time again and ended up spending the night. Sorry I didn't call I had my phone off."

I kiss the top of her forehead and pull back from our hug. "That's okay. I understand completely. Hey how is Lucy doing by the way? I keep forgetting to ask." She bites her lip. "She's, uh, doing alright actually. You know like normal."

I give her a questioning look, but she brushes it off like nothing. "Well that's good to hear." I give her a reassuring smile.

"So are you up to packing some more? Tonight is the last night we have to pack, and there is only a few things that need to be packed up. The rest of your desktop setup, a few dressers, and the food and whatnot.." She trails off looking around the room.

"Sure, let's pack. Just let me get dressed first?" She nods and smiles as I head back into the bedroom to get dressed.

Over the next few hours, Carlada and I pack up all my monitors and recording stuff. The Tv, the last few things in the kitchen, our dressers, and load all of that into the moving truck.

Everything is set and ready to go. I can't wait until tomorrow it's going to be awesome.
