Anxiety Queen

Can't Sleep

Lucille's POV

I couldn't sleep, I tried but I can't. My mind wouldn't turn off as hundreds of 'what if' questions go through my head. It had been days since I actualluy slept, to be honest about three. So now it's 6:30 o'clock and I'm on my phone when my alarm goes off. This was kinda a usual thing, sadly. I got out of bed and got ready, I did my make-up in an attempt to cover the dark circles under my eyes. I could hear my brother downstairs, Francis was singing some song in out of tune french.

I walked into the kitchen to see Matthew making pancakes and Francis sitting on the table, still singing extremely out of tune. It's not that he was bad at singing, he just knew it drives me and Mattie insane.

I walked past him and slapped him upside the head. He looked at me with mock betrayal. I only laughed.

He looked back at me and he looked concerned, "How much did you sleep, Lucy?"

"Enough, and don't call me that,"

"Your idea of enough sleep, or regular stable human enough sleep?" Matthew said in a quiet tone.

"Look, guys, I'm fine, I slept long enough t make it through today and I'll be fine."

Neither of my brothers seemed convinced, but I didn't care, I grabbed a pancake off the plate and walked to my room with it, seeing no need for a plate and syrup when they were already sweet.

I finished getting ready, I decided that instead of riding with my brother's as I usually did I'd get a ride from Lovino. I texted him:

ME: Pick me up for school plz

Italian Tomato: Frenchie bastard being annoying again?

ME: Something like that.

Italian Tomato: Be there in five.

I sighed and sat down on my bed, trying not to doze off.

I heard his car pull up and I ran downstairs, I said a quick goodbye to my brothers as I ran outside, I quickly hopped in the backseat of Lovi's car, next to me was his younger brother Feliciano, and in shotgun was the oldest of the tree, Sebastian.

"Ciao bella, miss me?" Sebastian said, he did this quite often, it seems like everytime he sees me he finds the need to flirt with me.

I rolled my eyes but smiled, "You wish."

Lovino scowled at his brother, "She's not interested."

"You're only saying that because you love her."

"I'm only saying that because she's a lesbian dipshit."

Of course, all three of the Vargas brother's knew this, but it almost seemed like Sebastian didn't care.

Sebastian only smiled and faced forward.

We were at school in less than five minutes, and we only almost crashed twice. It's a new record low.

I got out of the car and started to walk to the school building but Lovino grabbed my hand, "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be."

"Because you didn't sleep last night."

"Yes, I di-"

"Don't pull that bullshit with me, Lucille I know you. How much did you sleep last night?"

"...I didn't."

"Ok, tonight you are going to bed no later than midnight, if not I will go to your house and knock you out with a brick." He said, even the harsh words were underlined in something not many saw from him, concern and caring.

I sighed, "I'll try, alright."

He didn't look satisfied but he let me go, I went to class as normal, I was excelled in mostly all of my classes, though I wasn't very good in science. Nothing interesting really happened, well that was until lunch.
