I woke up with an insane headache. Even though the room was dark, I could still see some light shining in from the hallway under my door. I rubbed my face with my hands, trying to not freak out about how much my head was hurting. I looked around and noticed that I was in my own bed. I looked out the window and noticed the sky was still dark. It must have been the early morning hours of the night. The window had been open, letting a small breeze come in my room.
My door opened a little bit. Someone had walked in. The door closed quietly and the person headed over to my bed. I got a closer look and saw that it was No Name. He must have taken me home after our wild night. He really was the greatest guy in the world. Nothing so far has shown me otherwise. Unless you talk about him being in a gang. I had almost forgotten about that.
"Do you have aspirin?" I tried to whisper that statement, but I couldn't. That made my headache even worse and here I was, asking for aspirin instead of going back to sleep and sleeping it off. I rubbed my forehead and laid down. I heard a small laugh from No Name.
"Sleep it off. You can take the aspirin when you wake up. Just trust me, it's better to take it when you're awake." I didn't want to go to sleep. I knew that I needed it, but I just wanted to talk to No Name. Delilah must have been sleeping away in her room, at least, that's my guess. I had a feeling that Liam and Nathan had stayed the night and slept in the living room. I had hoped that they didn't go home. They did drive to the club.
"No."
"Katherine, please get some sleep. Don't fight me right now." I could tell he was somewhat tired just by his voice. He wanted to sleep off his possible hangover or he just wanted to sleep. I hadn't really known what he wanted. Maybe he just wanted me to feel better.
I yawned a little bit and began to hear some rain drops. It was beginning to rain. I loved the rain more than anything. The rain made me feel good and calm. Even though I almost always stayed inside when it rained, there was no doubt that I had windows open. I took one last glance at No Name. Who looked back at me as I closed my eyes and drifted off into a deep sleep.

"Kat? Come on, get up."I groaned as I rolled over. I didn't want to talk or get out of bed. My headache was still killing me and to make matters worse, it was sunny outside and birds were chirping. If I only I could back to sleep. I knew I had to get up and talk to whoever was calling my name, but I just didn't feel like it. I turned around anyway and looked at the person calling my name. The one and only Delilah Shinings and next to her was No Name.
"What? My head is killing me." I still had my eyes closed. I really didn't want to get up.
"You need to get up. We all have jobs to do and you need to get some food in your system." The blankets were pulled off of me. Some cold air hit my legs and I groaned. Delilah is going to be a great mom one day, let me tell you.
"Fine. Can I at least have someone over?" I heard a laugh and opened my eyes. It was No Name who had laughed. He had laughed at almost everything I've done. I was never a funny person, but to that guy, I was a comedian.
"I can't take you with me. Nathan and Liam went home this morning and were still kind of hungover so I drove them home. No Name is not hungover but he has things to do today. Besides, you guys spend an awful amount of time together anyway. It's like you two are dating." I chuckled. Like I could ever date No Name. Can you imagine us being together? Sneaking around Delilah's back? I could never do that to her. Not to my best friend. He was her boss for crying out loud.
"I can take her with me. We aren't dating, I swear," No Name smiled and sat on the bed. "You've been working really hard lately and I've just been here to keep her company. I only have a few things and she can come to all of them." This time, I tried to sit up. It hurt a lot but I managed to do it. I gave Delilah a smile.
