I wake up to the sound of dripping. Creepy. Once I woke up I couldn't go back to sleep. But all I hear is drip, drip, drip. So then I try to focus on Marks breathing.

...inhale...

...exhale...

...inhale...

...exhale...

(Drip)

...inhale...

(Drip)

...exhale...

(Drip, drip)

"Ugh!" I moan loudly. I try to wriggle free of Mark's grasp. Just as I think I'm home free, his arm snakes around my waist and he mumbles my name.

Awe how sweet! (Drip) leave it to a faucet to ruin this perfect moment. I struggle, making him pull me closer.

"I love you. So much." His sentences come out broken and mumbled. But it's still so sweet!

I mentally talk myself out of trying to get out of bed, not that I could decide against it. So I create a mind link with Jeff, who decided to stay the night on the couch.

...Jeff...

...Jeff...

...Jeff!...

What?! Can't you see I'm trying to sleep?!

No duh!

Then leave me alone!

I need you to turn off the faucet in the hall bathroom, it's bothering me and I can't get up. I'm being held under Mark's restraint.

Go away.

Jeff, please?!

No.

...Jeff...

No.

Fine!

I hear his footsteps thud in the hallway, a door slam, the squeaking of the faucet, another slam, and loud footsteps that gradually grow softer.

But no dripping! Yay!

Thanks Jeff!

Get bent.

Goodnight.

...

Goodnight Jeff!

If I say goodnight to you, will you go back to sleep?

Yes.

Ugh, fine.

I'm waiting...

Goodnight.

I smile and break the connection. Just for fun I lift Marks arm off of me. He hugs me tighter burying his face in the back of my neck. "Love you Alison." He mumbles.

I smile and fall asleep the bet way possible, in his arms.
