Alex POV

I woke up the next morning to the sound of The Benchwarmers title screen playing. I guess we had fallen asleep in the middle of the movie. Emily was laying beside me, sound asleep. She was kind of talking in her sleep. I smiled to myself and grabbed my phone. I got on Twitter and my feed was full of loving tweets from my friends at school and my football team mates. Emily and I hadn't been at school for the past week or so because of Caleb's sudden passing.
I closed out of Twitter and it onto Instagram. I had a DM from Brennan. I opened it and it said,
"Hey man. Wanna hang out sometime this week?"
I typed back, "Sounds great. When?"
Seconds later he replied,
"We can go see a movie or something tomorrow."
"Alright. But first we're going to Taco Bell! 😂"
"Alright. See you tomorrow😂🌮"
I was happy to have a day when I could hang out with one of the guys, especially one who understood what I was going through. Brennan and Caleb were friends because Brennan's sister, Katie, and Annie always hung out. So Brennan faced the same sorrow that I had when he passed.
After checking my feed, Emily had woken up. She started laughing,
"How could I have fallen asleep during The Benchwarmers?!?" She said and kept on laughing. I eventually couldn't help myself but laugh at how hard she was laughing.
"I don't know but I'm kinda hungry."
"We can make pancakes!" She said excitedly.
"Uhh yes."
And that's exactly what we did. Instead of stirring the mix, we put it in the blender. I guess that pancake batter isn't supposed to go in the blender, because it went everywhere. It was all over our clothes and in our hair. We stood there, holding our stomachs in pain from laughter.
"Ugh now we have to clean it all up!" She laughed with a mad tone.
"That's the way it goes. But we can play some music cuz I know it helps you clean better." I said still laughing.
So there we cleaned for an hour. Trying to get every single bit of pancake batter out of every cracks and crevice in the kitchen. During all of this, Sorry by Justin Bieber came on and Emily started dancing to it. Of course, she's white so she can't dance. I was dying the whole time. It made me happy that even after we both went through such a struggle in our lives, we were still able to laugh about little things.
