I wake up. I am a little groggy. I am tangled in sheets. I lift my head off of a chest as memories of last night sink in. I get up and walk to the bathroom. Christie's bathroom, I hop in her shower and wash my hair and body. I love this shower, it has three separate shower heads. The steaming water relaxes me from the questions running wild in my head. I wonder what will happen from here? I wonder if I will find myself in a relationship withe Aiden. I step out the shower and grab a towel from the cabinet. I calmly dry my hair, scrunching it to ensure that it wont drip. Then I start on my body. I wrap the towel around my body and walk out the door of the bathroom, a sleeping Aiden still lying in bed. There is someone passed out on the couch. I try not to figure out who it is — I want to ignore them but I can't. It's Kail, Aidens friend. Then, I head upstairs to my room. I walk into the door and go to my dresser to grab a bra and panties. I put those on and dig around for  a pair of sweat pants and a random t-shirt. I put those on too. I pull out my deathly hallows T-Shirt and slip that on. I walk to my closet and pull out a hoodie. I slip that on too. My house is literally freezing, someone must've touched the thermostat. I walk downstairs, my hair in a messy bun. I go to the kitchen to make coffee. I pull out the trash bag and start cleaning up.

I wake and she is missing. Did I do something wrong? Why is she not here? I get up and pull on my clothing. I make the bed, even thought we should probably wash the sheets. I know it feels weird to make it but I did anyway. Then I walk out the room. I hear some beeping and find her near it. She dropped the trash bag she was holding and ran into the kitchen. I walked into the kitchen after her. Apparently the beeping was the coffee maker, and it was finally ready.

She poured two cups of coffee, lifting one towards me. She spoke hoarsely, "Maybe you should go home change. Then come back here. Just so you can feel clean, you know what I mean?" Hearing this calmed my nerves for some odd reason, "Okay, I'll see you in a few," and walked out the door. I walked into my yard to get to my backyard. I walked into my house, except it doesn't look my house. It was insanely clean, I guess Kail got bored. I walk upstairs and go to the bathroom. I wash my body and hair. Even after being done, I linger under the warm water. It gives me the most clean feeling. I change into a different pair of shorts and shirt, then begin the short walk back to Dez's.

It is now about 10:50. I got most of the house cleaned. Now, I move on to bathrooms and bedrooms. I approach Christie's bedroom. I walk in to a made bed and pull the sheets off the bed. Along with any pillows cases. I bring them to the utility room. I go to the downstairs bathroom and clean that.  I walk upstairs and head to pipers room. I strip her bed and walk back into the utility room with her sheets too. I walk upstairs and clean the bathroom. I put my hand on the door-knob to Vincent's room and turn it. I walk in to find him in bed with a girl in a similar position to what me and Aiden were in. I walkout and close the door. Clearly I wasn't supposed to see that. I go back downstairs to wash the sheets. With a gut wrenching feeling, I sit down on the couch.
