Honey.

I rocked from side to side, flailing my hands in the air, trying to swat away whatever creature was trying to drag me out of unconscious bliss. Blearily I rubbed my fingers back and forth over my tired eyelids.

‘What do you want?’ I grumbled.

‘Get up, and go and sleep upstairs’ Lamar laughed, pulling on my hand.

‘Leave me alone you sabre-toothed tiger’ I got up slowly, stretching my arms.

‘Hurry up its way past your bedtime’

‘What time is it?’ I yawned shielding my eyes from the painful light that almost seemed to penetrating my fingertips.

’12.30’

‘What?’ I exclaimed suddenly very awake. Kyle would be worried! I looked around for my phone and saw it lying lifelessly by the end of the sofa. ‘Why didn’t you wake me up’ I frowned trying to turn my phone on.

‘Well I’m waking you up now aren’t I?’

‘A little to bloody late Dumbo’

‘Whatever you can sleep in your own room’

‘Erm no mate, I’m going home’

‘How?’ he questioned with one eyebrow rose in a mocking manner.

‘Do you have a blackberry charger?’

‘No, I have an iPhone charger though’

‘I thought you used your blackberry to call pizza hut earlier’

‘No that was not mine’

‘Why are you lying, stop stalling I need to get home’

‘There’s nothing I can do about it, I don’t have the charger’

I could tell I was fighting a losing battle ‘Argh, why are you so useless?’

‘Is that a rhetorical question?’

I rolled my eyes at him and made my way upstairs. There was nothing I could do. I would not risk travelling home by myself to get killed. To vent out some of my anger I slammed the door to the guestroom quite loudly and was surprised to see before was everything as I had left months ago. More feelings of reminiscence filled me as I looked in the exact spot where I had been hit during the pillow fight with Lamar’s boys. Boy I really did miss the twins, and Kamrone. He never failed to give me a reason to laugh. I walked slowly towards the bed and sighed as my feet sunk into the cushion like carpet. I looked to the side where my desk was and saw mounds of stuff that Rae’melle gave me. I guess I was really a bad judge of character. The amount of times I had been hurt and I was just so forgiving. I was true, my heart was too soft. I needed a change and that change was coming soon. With that last thought and with that last sight I took off my uniform and fell into a deep sleep.

*******

I woke with a start as I heard a soft knock on my bedroom door.

‘You can come in’ I croaked, sitting up suitably with by duvet pulled up across my bare chest. Lamar’s head popped around the corner and I saw him holding out something. I urged him in with a wave of my hand and he proceeded to enter my room handing me my phone. Very confused I looked up from him to my phone, which was now apparently on with full battery, and back at him.
