My feet slapped the ground as I scurried across the meadow back home. Hopefully Father wasn't awake and Rosalind (Rosa) wasn't home yet. I was so glee I finally got to see Daniil (pronounced Daniel).

I found myself home in no time. Nobody was awake, as I could hear, and my window was still open. Rosa wasn't home yet.

My body slid through the small,tight window. The pain is real, but it's worth it. As far as Father knew I was in bed,sleeping.

As soon as I fell through the window I undressed and changed into a huge shirt and I slid off my bra. Ahhhhhhh.

My face was illuminated with bright white light from my phone. I fantasized about Daniil for so long it was unreal. I finally rolled over and plopped my face into the pillow. I quickly dozed off.

My peaceful slumber was interrupted when Rosa came home at 2:00 a.m. She had previously been out with her "friends." My body quickly hit snooze.

ONCE AGAIN I WAS AWOKEN FROM MY SLUMBER BY MY KLUTZY SISTER FALLING IN THE SHOWER, OF COURSE I WAS WORRIED,BUT COME ON FAM.

She was obviously drunk out of her mind as she stumbled and fell to the floor once she was out of the tub,and she was only 19. Her breath smelled very much of IPA .I had to help her get dried off and dressed for bed. She immediately fell asleep once her face hit the pillow. Her hair was drenched and still slathered with conditioner, but there's nothing anyone can do about it now.
