I lifted my head lazily off the uber drivers back window and shot him an appreciative smile as we neared my house, "Thanks" i said softly while getting out.

"Have a good night miss" once the door shut he pulled off, leaving nothing but smoke behind to linger through the damp air.

It was around midnight in Seattle, maybe later than that, I honestly have no clue. I worked an eleven hour shift today down at the coffee shop so now I'm in complete zombie mode.

The first thing i seen as i stepped inside was my mom in her fuzzy pink robe eating cookie dough ice cream. "Why are you home so late? You know the rules" She said with a mouth full.

I threw my book bag on the floor near the shoe rack and let out a huff. "Late shift" I shrugged. As i began to slowly make my way to the stair case she pinched my jacket sleeve and pulled me back. "What?" I asked.

"You okay?"

"Yeah I'm just tired" i ran a hand through my hair and looked at her with a blank face, waiting for her to dismiss me.

"You sure?"

"Yes mom" i said with a slight nod as i slowly started to make my way up the stairs one small step at a time.

"Ah-ah-ah go get your bag, i tell you this everyday" she said in a motherly tone.

I rolled my eyes and marched back down the five steps to grab my bag. I swooped it up and let out an exhausted sigh. "Anything else?"

She gave me a small giggle and pulled my head down to her lips, giving me a loving kiss on my temple. "No butthead, goodnight i love you"

"I love you too"

I finally bolted upstairs to my room and jumped right in bed. I usually take a shower and change but god today was such a drag i just didn't care. Once i got comfortable under the covers i slid my black work slacks off and tore my latte stained shirt off, throwing them both towards the laundry hamper that was piled up high.

*bzzzz bzzzz*

"Uhgg go awayy" i whined. As much as i wanted to ignore it and go to sleep my adolescent ways took over causing me to answer. "Yeah?" My voice sounded slightly annoyed.

"Long night?" Chantel giggled.

Chantel Jeffries is one of my Best friends from high school. She was that one girl in school who physically grew up faster than everyone else our age, which caused majority of the girls to dislike her and all of the guys to go absolutely nuts over her. I had a big crush on her at first but i got over it, now she's apart of the family really.

I ran a hand over my face and let out a soft giggle. "Yeah, i dropped a full pot of coffee on me today and i think my nipples may be suffering from third degree burn"

"Well can you and your burnt nipples come with me to this movie thing tonight? " she giggled. "Bella will be there" she added.

"No I'm exhausted tonight" i said honestly as I cuddled up to my body pillow. " and what difference does it make if Bella is there?" I giggled against my pillow causing it to come off a little muffled.

"Stop acting like you haven't been secretly obsessed with her since sophomore year" she huffed. " anyways, come onnnn everyone's gonna eventually go their separate ways for college soon annddd i may be pulling into your driveway" she chuckled.
