Let Go

Chapter 13

Chapter 13~

Loud vibrations wake me up. I keep my eyes closed, hoping it was just a text and it will stop soon.

The vibrations keep coming.

With a groan I roll over and slap my hand against my dresser repeatedly hoping to find my phone.

It's a hard task when your eyes refuse to open.

Soon though, the vibrating stops and I cuddle back up into my blankets. Hey, it's a Saturday, I deserve to sleep in, don't I?

It's not long before my phone starts it's terrible buzzing again. I bring my blankets over my head hoping it will stop, but it's no use. After a couple seconds I try to find my phone again, but my eyes still won't open.

You'd think I would open my eyes at this point, but you'd be thinking wrong.

I successfully find my phone though and answer the call while I get comfortable in bed again.

"Mmm?" I groan into the phone, almost asleep again.

"That's the fourth time I've called you, Abby." Luke says teasingly.

"Hm." A large yawn escapes my mouth as I bring the covers over my shoulders.

"Are you still asleep?" He asks.

"May.. be.." I reply sleepily.

Luke's laugh fills the phone, "Anyways, Abby, do you wanna hang out today?"

I don't say anything as I fall back asleep.

"Abby?"

"Whaaaaat?" I whine. Luke laughs.

"Do you want to hang out?" He asks again.

"Yeah, sure, mhm." I mumble.

"Okay, I'll pick you up around 11, okay?" He says.

"What, what uh- what time is it?" I ask, unable to keep my thoughts straight as I drift back to sleep.

"A little past eight." He says, chuckling.

"Whyyyyyy?" I whine again, burying my face in my pillow.

"I'll pick you up at 11, Abby," Luke chuckles, "and don't fall back asleep!" He adds at the end and hangs up.

Tossing my phone on the floor I snuggle up in my blankets and fall back asleep.

Someone shakes my shoulders, "Abby?"

"Mmm."

"Abby, you need to wake up." Luke says laying a hand on my arm. I shake my head and turn away from him.

"Come on, Abby." Luke says, a small chuckle in his voice.

"Shh." I say, laying my hand on his face. I can feel him smile against my palm and he takes my hand.

"Abbyyy." He drags out the end of my name.

"No, look, you can go to sleep too, so it's okay." I try to convince him.

"Come on, get up." He says, opening the blinds. Bright light comes into the room. My eyebrows knit together and I pull the comforter over my face.

My bed sinks down next to me where Luke sits, and he pulls the comforter down to my shoulders. Finally willing my eyes to open I see him with a big grin on his face.

"Good morning." He smiles. I rub my eyes and let out a big yawn.

"Morning." I reply, sitting up in bed.
