By My Side

Chapter 5

Alexanders POV

"Alexander! It's morning get up!" I heard someone gently say, I groaned and tried to flip over, but my arm wouldn't move I opened my eyes and looked back Angelica was looking at me with a smirk.

"What time is it?"

"Six," I groaned again,

"It's way too early, just lay back down and go to sleep."

"It's boring, just get up," I closed my eyes barely beginning to drift back to sleep, "We have to get ready to go to Mrs. Jones's house to get these handcuffs off"

"What? Are you planning on leaving at seven AM?" Angelica rolled her eyes,

"Just get out of bed," I swung my arm over my eyes

"Later," She started to pull on our handcuffed hand, "That's not going to work," I said with a smirk,

"Just get up," She said with a sigh. I sat up blinking the sleep away from my eyes,

"What do you even do this early in the morning?"

"Eat breakfast, read, study,"

"That sounds like a lot of work right now,"

"Just get up," She sighed

I slid over to the side of my bed and slowly let my feet drift off to the floor, I brought my hand up to my face to rub the rest of the sleep out of my eyes.
"Do you always get up this early?"
"Most of the time,"
"That's Murder,"
"You only say that because you are a night owl,"
"Everything gets ten times more fun when the sun sets,"
"Hm."
"Do you ever stay out late?"
"Not really, I don't have anyone to go out with."
"What do we do now?" I asked after a few minutes.
"I don't really know, we can't do much with these handcuffs," she said, pulling up our handcuffed hands and waving then around.
"When did Mrs. Jones say we could come over?"
"About nine,"
"We should just-" I started laying back down my knees dangling off the bed "We should just go back to sleep." Suddenly chilly water was splashed on my face and I jumped out of bed, Angelica was laughing. I looked back at her bewildered.
"Where the hell did you get water?" She was still sitting on the bed. She pulled a water bottle out from behind her back.
"You left it on your nightstand"
"Well I'm definitely awake now, thanks."
"It was no trouble," I rolled my eyes at her,
"I think I might have breakfast burritos that we can warm up," she stood up and followed me downstairs, we heated up the burritos and we started to talk. The sun was starting to rise and I got an idea.
"Follow me, you have to hurry!"
"I don't have a choice Alexander,"
We went back up the stars and I opened the window to my room and stepped out onto the roof.
"Alexander! Are you INSANE? I'm not committing suicide with you."
"That's not what's happening right now, just trust me," I held out my other hand for her to grab.
"Are trying to murder me? Is that's what's going on, I'll drag you down to hell with me."
"Stop being stubborn and just grab my hand," She took my hand and I lifted her up on the roof and she sat down next to me.
"Wow, the sunrise is so beautiful from up here," she said her eyes glued to the sky
"Yeah," I said, but I wasn't looking at the sunrise, my eyes were on Angelica. I felt my phone buzz in my pocket. I pulled out my phone,

(Turtles is the name for Laurens' in Alexanders phone, and Roasted Ham is the contact in Laurens' phone for Alexander."
Turtles
We are going to the amusement park do you and your girlfriend want to come? Her sisters can come to if they want,
Roasted Ham
She is not my girlfriend.
Turtles
Mhm,
"Do you and your sisters want to come to amusement park with my friends and me?" Her eyes lit up, she turned and smiled at me,
"Peggy would LOVE that, she is the biggest thrill seeker I have ever met. When we were little we would do the stupidest things," She shook her head her smile grew, she looked back to the sunset. "This one time we were done with school and we decided to stay late, there was this playground that looked like a castle. We decided that we were going to climb to the very top, it took a few hours to find a proper way to get up there but we did it. We sat up there and just looked over the little part of the town that we could see. It really isn't that high but to little ten-year-olds it was a monstrous climb."
