Alarm buzzes. I groan, roll over, and turn it off. Honestly, if it weren't in the fact that it would drive my family crazy, I might not even bother to turn it off some times. A hand stops me as I move to get up.
"What are you doing?" I snap, "I have to get up now"
I was hoping that he wouldn't be here today. Unfortunately, he is as clingy as duct tape... And about as welcome as exams.
"Come on, you're OK to sleep for a little longer." he says.
I am tired I realize. Maybe he's right. Maybe just a few more minutes...
"Kate! Why aren't you up yet?" Mom wakes me up half an hour later.
"Oh no!" I moan, "I didn't realize it was so late!"
"Why do you bother to go to school?" He asks, "You won't be doing anything important today."
I buy it, but mom doesn't.
"You're going to school, you have no reason not to."
I know she is right, but she doesn't understand how hard it is with him tagging along.
"Well, I'm not really feeling great," I try. It is actually true. My head hurts where he's pushing on it. Suddenly, I feel my throat close up. Tears stream down my cheeks.
He always does that to me. I cry rivers when he's around.
"Kate," mom's as confused as I am, "What's wrong?".
" I don't know," I choke out, "I just can't make it go away.
She wraps me in a hug. He holds my arm stiff at my sides, refusing to let me hug her back.
Frustration rises in my chest. I can't even appreciate a hug anymore. Everything in me wants to pull away. I want someone to take the hurt away, but he refuses to let anyone get close.
I can't win this. He's way stronger than I am, and he doesn't leave room for anyone else.
