***Connor's P.O.V***
"Connor?" She calls out, and I turn my head to the clock. 12:01 A.M. She always wakes up at this time and I grab her arm, pulling her towards me. "Sh, it's okay, baby." I wrap my arms around her, pushing the hair away from her face and kissing her forehead. I feel her shaking come to a stop and I smile and look down at her. "Play some music, please." She whispers and closes her eyes, as she lays her head upon my chest. "Of mice & men?" I ask and she nods. I reach for my phone, putting "Identity Disorder" by OM&M on and closing my eyes. I listen to her breathing slow down, smiling and falling asleep myself.

"Hi baby," Aiden smiles as I begin to wake up, "did you sleep good? I'm sorry for waking you up." She seems upset that she wakes me up every night, but I don't mind at all. As long as she's safe and happy, and can actually sleep, then I'm happy. I sit up, smiling at her. "Good morning, baby," I laugh, "yes, I slept good." She smiles. "Good. I made breakfast, toast and eggs." She gets off the bed and walks to the dining room. I take a shower, get dressed in a OM&M hoodie, and black skinny jeans with a beanie and walk out to the dining room, sitting at the dining room table. She sets breakfast in front of me, kissing my head and turning to leave. "Wait, how do I look?" She asks, turning so I can see her. She's wearing black leggings with an oversized red wine sweater, a grey scarf and boots. "Gorgeous as always, baby." I laugh, taking a bite out of my toast.
She rolls her eyes, putting her hand on her hip. "I meant does this look good enough for a job interview?" She laughs. I nod. "Of course, they'd be crazy not to hire you." She rolls her eyes again, grabbing her car keys and opening the door. "Bye, baby, I love you!" She calls as she walks out the door. "Bye Aiden, I love you too. Good luck." I run to the door, calling out to her but it's too late, she's in her car and driving away.
I prop my feet up on the table as I sit down to finish my breakfast. I take my phone out and text Aiden, telling her that I love her and that I hope she gets the job. Beep. The phone beeps and I look at the message. Aiden: Thank you, baby, I'll text you when I'm done. Want to meet up for lunch? I finish my breakfast, putting my plate in the sink and wiping my face on with a napkin. Me: Of course. I decide to take a small nap before lunch, and take my beanie off, laying on the couch and petting Aiden's cat, Zelda.

I wake up with Zelda meowing at the back door, scratching it loudly. "Shutup, you're a cat, not a dog." I roll my eyes as I let the tiny kitten out. I glance at my phone, seeing 3 missed calls from Aiden. I quickly call her back, "Hello?" I hear her whisper-like voice on the other end and smile. "Hi baby, you called?" I ask, letting Zelda back in. "Yeah, we still on for lunch? I can meet you at Pizza Hut in 30 minutes."
