i hear you late
after eight
i hear that you care
that my heart's got a tear

[ lorelei's pov ]

"is she asleep?"

"yes, why are you surprised?"

"well, she said she's been having trouble sleeping when i asked if she was tired."

"you don't think she's got insomnia or something?"

"why would you go straight to that? i'm sure it'll pass and she will sleep again. other than today."

"now that i think about it, whenever it's like 4 am she's always awake. i've never actually seen her sleep."

"don't worry about it, i'm sure she's fine."

i get up, hearing the voices talking about me; i can't tell who it is.

my head starts to ache as i stumble a little, catching the wall before i went down. i know sleeping is supposed to be good for you but that was not nice at all. i push open the door to see simon and tobi stop mid-conversation as they see.

"did you sleep well?" simon asks with a slight smile on his face, a little bit of worry laced in there somewhere.

"i-i think so, it felt odd. maybe i'm not used to it."

this is completely true, i'm not used to sleeping.

the mood on his face shifting a bit, simon came over to me and took my shoulders in his hands.

"go and take a shower, i'll make you a nice breakfast ok?" he says moving his hand to touch my face then my hair

i nod my head, turning back to the room so i can wash up.

[ simon's pov ]

"tobi?"

he looks at me with a raised eyebrow after watching lorelei go off into her room.

"do you think i care too much?"

"i think we don't care enough simon." he says with a sad look to his eyes as i take notice of the shower turning on.

he's right.

i need to tell josh.
