1:58 p.m.

I had woken up to the sound of Max yelping at my feet. I then realized that I must have dosed off. I stretched my arms, looking over at Morgan. She lay, sleeping, covered in papers, sorting them into folders. I walked over to her and gathered all the papers into one pile, and set them on the counter, along with the numerous folders.

I snatched a blanket from there r basket in the corner of the room, and lay it on her, covering her from head to toe.

I walked up the wooden stairs to my bedroom, Max trailing behind me. I walked over to my nightstand, and grabbed my phone.

1 new text message from: Colby

I unlocked my phone and opened it.

Hey. You up for a party at my house tonight? - 9:00

I thought on this, knowing that Morgan wouldn't allow it.

"Why now?" I said, shaking my head.

Max jumped up onto the bed, snuggling me. I made my decision.

Sure. See you there.

I turned off my phone and set it on my duvet. Max jumped up on me, licking my face. Then I realized something.

I looked at my closet, a few tee-shirts hanging here and there. I had left most of my clothes in New York, not thinking I would need so many. I got up, and sorted through my clothes. Nothing.

Only a few pairs of nice jeans, some tee shirts, and the outfit I wore today.

I wasn't going to ask Morgan for her clothes,  not wanting her to be suspicious.

"Shopping trip!" I said, grabbing my phone and keys.

I walked down stairs, slipping on my shoes. I grabbed my sweatshirt, and headed out.

I swiftly opened the door and got into my car. I started the engine, and pulled out my phone.

I texted Morgan; gone shopping for some new clothes, figured this would be a good time.

The car pulled out of the drive way, and down the road it went. I noticed some cars at Colby's house already, knowing why.

I walked into the mall, turning into Pacsun, my favorite store. I quickly found a cute yellow and white striped crop top, and some black chuck taylors. I had the outfit planned out. All I needed were my ripped jeggings from home, and some of my own jewellery.

I bought the clothes, and walked out of the mall, to my car.

I walked into the house, back from my quick trip to the mall. Max waited for me at the door, barking. I rubbed his head, running up the stairs.

I entered my room, and tossed the shopping bag on my bed. I took off my jacket and shoes, and opened the bag. I took out the shirt and shoes, finding my jeans in the closet. I put them on, looking at my self in the mirror.

That's as best as it'll get. 

I decided to take a shower, quickly turning on the water. I made sure to wash my hair good, with my coconut shampoo and conditioner.

I suddenly heard a knocking at the door, knowing it was Morgan.

"Alyssa? You went to the mall without me?" She asked, sounding angry.
