I slowly opened my eyes trying to adjust to the light. I felt a warm arm and body holding me. I then remembered that Ashley snuck in last night. Once I could see I turned my head to the left and saw that it was 11:00am. I hadn't realized that I slept for so long.

I moved my arm that was over Ashley's stomach to rub my eyes. I looked up and saw that Ashley was still sound asleep. I carefully slipped out from Ashley's arm and tried to sit up in bed. I got it up on the first try. Then I tried to stand and was successful at first but then fell back onto the bed.

Ashley groaned and moved over to her side and faced the wall. I stood up again and walked to the door. I used the handle to keep me up. I unlocked the door and went out into the hallway. I looked down the hall and saw that my parents room door was closed. I turned around and slowly closed my door. I didn't want to wake anyone up. I walked over to the stairs my legs felt numb from standing for so long.

I got down the stairs which took forever. I was leaning on the rail the whole way down. Then from upstairs I heard a door open. I turned around and saw my parents coming down. My mom was the first one to stand in front of me. She said "You learned your lesson now?" I nodded my head because I didn't want to talk. My mom then said "Good now you know not to do it again."

Once she said that she walked passed me into the kitchen. My dad did the same but not without giving me a look. I turned back around and slowly made my way to the fruit bowl. I grabbed a cutie because it was small to carry. I then walked over to the medicine cabinet at the end of the kitchen. Once I made it there I grabbed some pain medication and a water bottle. I slowly walked back to the stairs and looked up. This is going to take forever.

I thought to myself before turning back around and seeing that both of my parents were ignoring me. I threw my water bottle up the stairs with the pill bottle and held the cutie. I grabbed onto the railing and very slowly pulled myself onto each step. I made it to the top of the stairs. My head was kind of spinning and my legs were giving out. Before I knew it I was falling to the floor but not before I saw my room door open and Ashley catch me. I closed my eyes and I felt that I was being carried.
