I woke up in confusion and exhaustion seeing it is still dark outside. I was still in the same clothes from yesterday as I look to the clock seeing it's four in the morning.

A large groan escaped my body as I tried to go back to sleep, but sadly failed.

"Kendra? Ali?" I asked in confused as the house was still empty.

I assumed the house was empty as I got up to the shower. My heads reached my face trying to relief the tiredness as I looked in the mirror remembering yesterday's thoughts.

"No more drama. No more drama. No more drama," I mumbled repeating it to myself.

I let the soothing water rush past my body as it started to shut down my stressful thoughts. Gripping my hair with shampoo, I start to curse slightly when it hit my eyes.

"Someone help! Geez!" I spat out trying not to be blind.

Getting out of the shower, they were red as I rolled my eyes. My mind shifted when fixing myself together seeing the sun finally rise.

My harsh thinking was something Kendra had seen me do a lot in school. It's kind of crazy how much the mind could trick you.

I dressed in some comfortable pajamas grabbing a blanket from my bed taking it to the backyard along with freshly brewed coffee. Sitting on a lawn chair, I admired the glowing LA view.

I kept on sipping on my coffee just admiring the greatness placed in front of me as I didn't want to get distracted by electronics; I left my phone in my room. 

Right now, it was just me and the view. And, that's all I needed.

It was more than a stress reliever that I desperately needed. When the coffee was finished, I stayed there just letting the sun soak up my presence.

In these moments, my mind had shifted to yesterday's thoughts. Daniel got me worried about my future.

I mean, leaving my friends is one thing, but making it into that college is another. Sure, I'm a top student, part of too many clubs, and try to do extracurricular activities, but I'm nothing more than those other hard working students.

Then, Daniel. I had no idea what to call him anymore. He's a friend, but something was telling me I was lying to myself. In just a couple of months I'll leaving him to go to New York. We've only known each other for so long, but it's silly how much someone could mean to you in such short amount of time.

I found myself leaving the comfort of the backyard making my way towards the guys' house. Since everyone is there, I figured someone would have to answer to door; until I remember that it's about six in the morning.

I shook my head at my stupidity thinking how everyone is still asleep after I ran the doorbell. I was about to rush back to the townhouse until a creek from the door rang through my ears making me turn around.

"Sienna?"

Hearing his voice I knew exactly who it was.

"Oh hey Jack," I smiled politely as he moved the door wider, so I could come in.

Immediately, I was greeted with the mild smell of men's cologne. The house was quiet as I looked over to Jack seeing how groggy and tired he looked.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to wake you," I gave a small smile.

"It's nothing. I'm just a light sleeper," he says shaking his head as I nod.

"Daniel's in our room," he says starting to walk upstairs with me following.
