Real Life

After I got Rowan from the hospital, we went back to our apartment. She looked exhausted so I sent her to bed. She kept refusing, insisting that it was part of her best friend duties to help pick out an outfit for special occasions and according to her, I'm meeting my soulmate tomorrow.

"Rowan. Seriously, I'll be fine. You need your rest."

"I'm okay. I promise. Plus, I get a few power naps in while I'm visiting."

"Alright. Whatever you say."

She clapped her hands together and ran to my closet. She grabbed my favourite pair of jeggings and my cold shoulder, purple shirt.

"Here. Wear this with your black combat boots."

"I don't know what I would do without you."

"Probably wear sweatpants everyday and never know what leggings are."

"True. You were the one to convince me to try that one pair on and I've been in love ever since. Now get to bed. You need the sleep."

"Goodnight Sarah."

"Goodnight Rowan."

She left for her bedroom and I got changed and hopped into bed. Now I felt the nerves of meeting Matt for the first time but I definitely felt ready. It felt like the right time...

|NEXT MORNING|

It was 6 o'clock when I woke up. I jumped out of bed and got my workout gear on. After I was ready, I grabbed my key and walked to the elevator.

It was quiet at this time other than the woman who always came down at 6:30. Sometimes we'd work out together but mostly, we'd keep our distance.

I walked into the joint gym we had in our apartment and started stretching.

|30 MINUTES LATER|

I was walking on the treadmill as my cool down when I heard the door open and close. I turned to see the woman come in and start stretching. I waved, she waved back and then I tuned back to see I had been walking for 10 minutes.

It was now 6:35 and I knew I had to be upstairs and ready to go for 7 to drive Rowan to the hospital and then Kat and Em were coming to get me at 9.

I ran back upstairs and got in the shower. After, I threw on an over sized shirt and went and woke Rowan up.

She's never been good with alarm clocks and she's always had her mom wake her up but ever since-

Anyway, once Rowan finally woke up, I went back to my room and threw on the outfit Rowan had laid out for me the night before and walked into my bathroom to do some makeup.

When 7 o'clock finally came around, we were in the car on the way to the hospital.

I was terrified. Ever since it happened, I haven't been in to visit. I've been to scared. She had always been like a second mom to me and I'm terrified we might lose her.

I dropped Rowan off and went back to the apartment. It always felt empty when Rowan wasn't here. She always knew how to light up a room. I sat in the living room and just stared at the piano at the other end of the room.

It's been 6 years since I've even touched a piano and I miss it so much. I started playing when I was 6 and stopped when I started college.
