It wasn't the knocking that had woken me up, or the fact that someone was practically shouting my name through the wooden door. It was the fact that my oh so loving Link decided that it was time for me to get up by jumping onto the bed and pawing at my face while purring loudly. I grumbled in annoyance and nudged him away before realization sunk in that someone was, in fact, knocking very loudly on my door.

    Glancing over at my clock on my nightstand I had realized that I really needed to get up. Jumping out of bed, which caused Link to jump in surprise and fall off of my bed with a soft thud he glared up at me and walked out of the room. I didn't really care. I rushed out of my room and ran to the door, nearly slipping on the wooden flooring because of my socks. I opened it and smiled faintly up at Brian, he raised an eyebrow in amusement and confusion.

   "I didn't hear you knocking." I admitted as I stepped aside to let him in, running a hand through my messy morning hair.

   "If I would've known that you were still sleeping, I would've come at a later time." He replied, stepping inside my apartment and glancing around before taking a seat on my couch.

   "So..." I started, wanting to get straight to the point. "What did you want to talk about?" I asked while wandering into my bedroom to grab a hairbrush and quickly brushed through my hair, pulling it up into a ponytail as I did so.

   "I wanted to apologize for such short notice of my departure." He began. "It was wrong to wait so long and I didn't mean to upset anyone." He said softly.

   "You don't need to apologize to me, I can understand why you didn't want to tell me." I replied back, setting the hairbrush down before turning to him. "But it was moreso wrong not to tell Chris... He didn't seem to pleased by it after he dropped you off last night.

   A flicker of sadness and hurt flashed across his features as he gazed down at the floor in front of him. Link came wandering up to him and began to rub up against his legs, demanding attention in his usual ways. A small smile tugged at the corners of his lips but then it disappeared as he began to shift his fingers through Link's fur.

   "I know... I..." He sighed softly as if searching for the right words. "I'm not sure how to make it up to him, I really want to make it better but... You know how Chris can be." He added on after a moment's thought.

   "I know. Which is why I think you should give him a bit of space to cool down. Then apologize for your actions." I said thoughtfully, he gave me a hesitant smile in return.

   "Alright, I'll try. Since you're the expert on these things." He mused, chuckling quietly.

   "Not necessarily an expert in this depart. I'm not good at handling situations with friends." I joked, though it was said jokingly it was true. I really wasn't good at handling these kinds of situations.

   "Oh don't be too hard on yourself. You handle them just fine." Brian said, looking at me with a smile.

   I sighed softly and thought to myself "If I really was good at these situations, she wouldn't have disappeared off the face of the earth." But I must've voiced my thoughts. Something that's not unusual of me, seeing as Brian was now staring at me with concern.
