Ariella’s P.O.V
I woke up early, earlier than early. It was dawn. I didn’t feel right. I couldn’t get back to sleep. I got out of the bed and went to the kitchen to get myself a glass of water; but I still wasn’t tired. I couldn’t understand what was keeping me up. I checked my world clock to see what time it was in New Zealand. It was too early to call home. I heard a cough come from the hall way and I looked up
“What’s up? Why are you awake so early?” Calum asked me
“I don’t know, I just woke up! I think it has something to do with my body clock,”
“You’ve been here for like 8 days though,”
“Yeah, maybe I’m just homesick,”
“Maybe you just need to calm your thoughts? Try going back to sleep again and just think about breathing,”
“Thanks, I think I will give it a go,”
I walked out of the lounge and returned to Luke’s room. I went over to the bed and got back under the covers.
“Where’d you go?” Luke asked
“I woke up and couldn’t get back to sleep so I went to get some water,”
“I heard you talking to Calum?”
“Yeah, he came out and asked why I was awake and gave me a tip to try get back to sleep,”
“That was nice of him, I was worried when I woke up and you weren’t here,”
“Sorry,”
“It’s okay; now try get back to sleep,”
He said putting his arm around my waist and lightly singing.
““When we both fall asleep underneath the same sky, to the beat of our hearts at the same time””
~8am
My alarm went off and I woke up to switch it off.
“Why’d you have an alarm?” Luke sleepily asked
“So I can call home,”
“Can’t you stay in bed a little longer?” he said tightening his grasp
“I’m sorry Luke; I haven’t spoken to them since I moved here!”
“Call them!” he grunted, stretching out his arms
I picked up my phone and walked over to my house where I was positive Abbey and Michael would be sleeping. I closed the bedroom door and dialled.
“Hey sweetie!” my mum answered
“Hey! How are you? How’s everything at home?”
“I’m good, everyone misses you, and your sister did her ballet show yesterday,”
“I miss you guys too, and that’s cool, how’d she do?”
“Great! She did really well!”
“That’s good! I bet she was amazing,”
“Yeah; so how’s Sydney?”
