Aria
When I wake up again it's nine o'clock at night. There's a note sitting on my nightstand in front oft clock. I pick it up and read what it says. You fell asleep, so I left. I took the movie out. btw you're cute when you sleep, too.
I pick up my phone and send Aiden a quick text. I'm not cute.
He texts back a second later, :). That's all he sends. I groan in frustration, he makes me so mad sometimes.
I lay back down and eventually fall asleep.

When I wake up it's about nine o'clock in the morning. I lay back down with a groan. Nine o'clock is way to early to wake up on a Saturday.
I try to go back to sleep, but I can't, so eventually I give up. I go down stairs and get out some cereal and put it in a bowl. I finish my breakfast and put my bowl in the dishwasher.
I go up to my room and get ready. Once I'm ready I put on some music and lay down on my bed. I look at my clock it's a little after ten. I groan. My therapist will be here around eleven. I pick up my phone and send a quick text to Ryan, Are you working?
He texts back a couple seconds later, Yeah :(
I don't bother texting back, he knows why I asked, I have therapy every Saturday and Sunday. I text Cassidy and few of my other friends, but they're all busy. The only other person I could think about texting is Aiden, but he's too annoying. I look at the clock again, it's 10:45. My therapist will be here soon.
Just text him, my conscience tells me.
Fine, I snap back at myself.
I send him a text, Will you come over so therapist will leave me alone?
He texts back a minute later, See, I knew you liked me.
Don't flatter yourself, all of my friends are busy, I respond.
I'll be there in like twenty minutes.
Hurry, my therapist will be here in like fifteen.
I pace around my room for fifteen minutes, glancing out the window every once in a while. Eventually a car pulls up in front of my house. I groan, it's my therapist, not Aiden. I take my dear sweet time answering the door. "Ew, it's you," I say when I open the door.
"Aria, what have I told you about respect?"
"I don't know, something stupid."
"No it was not 'something stupid'. No may I come in?"
"No," I say stalling. I glance behind my therapist, but Aiden still isn't here.
"Aria, I have to come in so I can talk to you."
I think for a moment. "Well I don't want to talk to you."
"Aria, will you just move out of the way?"
I look behind him again. I take a long pause before answering, "No."
"Aria, where is your mother? May I talk to her?"
"You're out of luck, she's not here."
"Well, where is she?"
"Your guess is as good as mine." I look behind him and I see a car pull up. Thank God, I think. Aiden gets out of his car and starts walking towards my house.
