~ Emily's Point Of View ~

Freezing, that's what I was - I'm pretty sure I might even be blue with how cold I am.

Slowly I peeled my eyes open before looking down at myself... where's the blanket? Frowning in confusion I turned to see Caitlin wrapped in a ball of purple... did she really just steal all the blankets, pulling my bed apart and then making herself into a caterpillar?

Looking at my clock I groaned and fell back onto my bed, it's seven in the morning.

Sighing I sat up and then walked over to my wardrobe and pulled a pair of jeans out of the pile and a shirt, looking over to Caitlin who was still sleeping I decided I might as well risk it and change. I pulled my hair out of my shirt and ran my fingers through it before I pulled it into a pony tail and then turned to see Caitlin had disappeared... but she was still in the cacoon.

"Caitlin?" I asked, my purple glasses were still on my nose as I peered over the ball of blankets and I hesitantly poked it.

"Mmm..."

I tried not to laugh at Caitlin's little 'I don't want to get up' noise, "Caitlin - are you going to get up or am I going to have to eat some food by myself-"

Her head pops out of the end, her eyes wide as she stares at me, "Food? Did you mention food?"

I couldn't help but laugh - sure I've started reading her story and how Anna is obsessed with food - but I didn't think Caitlin was as well.

"Come on" she crawls out of the blankets and stares at me for a second, "Yeah, you stole the blankets last night-"

"Oh my god - I'm sorry! I always do that, and because I sleep by myself I have gotten use to rolling myself up in my blankets when I'm cold - oh god, I'm sorry-"

"Don't worry about it" I chuckled before I started leaving the room, "Did you want to shower first or just get dressed?"

"I'll get dressed"

 I nodded before I closed the door behind me and jogged down the stairs to find mum in her chair while listening to the television, "Are you seriously watching Judge Judy again?" I put my hands on my hips while I glared daggers at the stupid television show that they just kept producing.

"It's a good show"

"Ah-ha" I shook my head before I walked into the kitchen, "Did you want breakfast now or later?" I ask her.

"Now"

I nodded and opened the cupboard, "What would you like?"

"toast will be fine" mum continues to watch the television as I pulled the packet out and started to make her breakfast and mine.

After ten minutes Caitlin came down, changed from her black sweat pants and black and white stripy long sleeve shirt into a pair of jeans and butterfly shirt... don't laugh Emily, don't laugh.

"What's up?"

"Nothing..." she went and sat on the couch next to mum's and I gave mum her breakfast before I turned to her.

"Did you want to eat breakfast or...?"

"I don't eat breakfast" Caitlin says awkwardly and I stared at her for a moment - didn't she want to eat food before?

"Okay then" I grabbed my stack of toast and sat don't next to her while she stared at the television, totally absorbed in that stupid Judge Judy show.

"Do you like Judge Judy?"

"I've never seen it before" Caitlin turns and stares at me as I nibble on my third piece of toast.

"Mmm... what time did you want to head off for the movies?"
