A Not so Friendly Little Visit

Alyssa's P.O.V.
   I wake up at two in the morning with a pounding headache and a painful feeling in my stomach. "Ouch" I mumble as I curl up into a ball and try to make the pain go away.

   I feel the body heat against my back go away. "Babe, why did you move away" I hear my boyfriend ask. "Asher, my stomach hurts" I inform him. Asher gets out of bed and moves the covers. "I'll fix it" he says running off.

   When Asher comes back he hands me some Midol. "Why are you giving me this" I ask him. "You got your period. There's blood all over the sheets" Asher says. "Oh. I'm sorry. I'll fix it" I say getting up. "No. I'll do it. You go put these on and fill your water bottle up. I will fix the bed. It's no big deal" Asher says handing me some sweat pants and underwear.

   I go in the bathroom and change. My period is off. That hasn't happened in a while. It must be nothing. I finish changing and I take my clothes to the laundry room and make sure to wash them now before there are stains later.

   After putting my clothes in the washer I go get my water bottle and fill it up. I come back to the bedroom and see that Asher has already put the bed together. "Really? Red sheets" i laugh out. Asher turns to me and says "Yes. Why not?" He gets in the bed and pats the spot next to him.

   I listen and get in the bed next to Asher. He pulls me close. "Every time we get in bed you seem to act like I don't want you close" Asher says. "Well that's because I feel like it gets annoying to cuddle me every single night" I respond. Asher shakes his head no. "Not at all. I wanna cuddle you every single night."

   Asher turns the TV on and then makes sure that I fall asleep before he does. After sleeping for maybe four hours Asher's alarm clock goes off. "I gotta go to work, baby" he says. "Why" I whine. "Because we gotta get the money to pay for this place somehow" he says.

   Asher gets dressed and kisses me before leaving to go eat before work. I look at the time and decide it's best for me to get up and go to work too. I put on my clothes and then leave for my job.

   I work as a model. Because of my haircut and belly button piercing I mainly do jobs for clothes from Hot Topic and Spencer's. The clothes aren't always 'emo' though so that's good. I tend to shop there so when I get magazines it's cool to be able to point to me and tell Asher "that's me!"

   I don't only do those stores. I do Forever 21 and Other stores like that too. My hair can be taken as many different labels but I don't care. My favorite is stoner. I make jokes about it a lot and roll up paper and ask my friend Ty if he wants a hit.

   Today I'm going to a photo shoot for a new clothing store that's gonna sell clothes that Kim Kardashian would wear. I don't know how my manager got me into that but I guess this will be fun. I hope I run into my friend Aiden and can take some pictures with him or something.

   I walk into the building and then immediately meet my friend. "Hey, Alyssa" Aiden says. "Sup, my guy" I say. We walk up to the room and obviously do our thing. He takes some pictures. I take some pictures. We try clothes on. It's literally all that happens.

   After my photo shoot I decide to go to McDonalds and get a McFlurry and a large fries. They go perfectly together. That's my opinion though. I like weird food.

   I eat and then go home so I can start preparing a lovely dinner for my boyfriend. I turn on the stove and cook sausage, ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until well browned. Then I Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and water. After this is done I season the foods.

   I continue to cook and begin to preheat the oven while the mixture simmers. After this step my cramps start to kick up. I take one more pill of Midol and drink a whole water bottle before the food is done simmering.

  I finish making all the pieces I need I spread 1 1/2 cups of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish, arrange 6 noodles lengthwise over meat sauce, spread with one half of the ricotta cheese mixture, top with a third of mozzarella cheese slices, spoon 1 1/2 cups meat sauce over mozzarella, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. I repeat the layers, and top them with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. When I finish I cover with foil: to prevent sticking and make sure the foil does not touch the cheese.

   By the time I finish Asher comes home and he looks really worn out. I walk over and hug him and greet him. "I made us Lasagna. It'll be out in 25 minutes. What would you like to do until then" I ask him. "Thanks babe. I would like to just sit on the couch and tell you about my day" Asher responds. I smile and lead him to the couch after he puts his jacket and keys away.

   We sit in the couch and Asher holds my hand and doesn't let go. "How was your day" I ask him. "Stressful" he responds. "Can we just watch TV for now" Asher asks. "Of course, baby" I say turning the TV on to some DC movie that was in the DVD player. The oven goes off and I pull out the food. After this I quickly make some peas and we go sit down to eat.
