I stepped into the bathroom, opening the mirror cabinet. I picked out the bottle of sleeping pills and dry swallowed two. I laid down in my bed, waiting for unconsciousness to sweep me from reality.

I tossed and turned, still waiting for sleep to overcome me. Why wasn't I asleep yet? It'd been fifteen minutes. I stood up from my bed and shuffled back to the bathroom. I took another two pills and laid back down again.

After a half an hour of no results, I got up and took another dose. What was up with the pills? They're pretty strong so I assumed that they would work as they had every other time. I snuggled under the covers and closed my eyes, awaiting rest.

It'd been another half an hour, and I still hadn't gotten tired. At all. I stood up once again, traveling to the bathroom and taking another dose, bringing them back to my bedside table. I laid back down on my bed and still awaited sleep. I was getting impatient; losing time with Niall is unacceptable.

After a good half an hour, I took another dose and tried to go back to sleep. Slowly but surely, drowsiness enveloped me.
