Diggy P.O.V

Iris and I stayed up till 3 in the morning talking about everything. Her mom was unconscious as we talked. Sometimes I thought she was dead until she slightly moved. By 3:00 am I knocked out and so did Iris. That’s just how tired we were.

Elana P.O.V         

I got up and put on some sweats. I looked to see Diggy in his room but he was gone. I decided to take a run. He probably was at Atlantic Records for an interview or something. I went out into the warm morning air and looked around. Diggy’s car was still in the driveway. Maybe he went for a walk. I exited the gate and ran towards Iris house. As I passed by I decided to stop. Her door was part way open. I opened the gate of her property and entered. I walked a few feet forward and heard some snoring. I looked at the bushes. I went toward the bushes and saw a man lying in the dirt out cold. That doesn’t make any sense. I went inside the house and looked around. The house was a mess.  The kitchen was full of dishes piled up in the sink. Wine was all over the counter. The pillows were on the floor and lamp shades off the lamp. I stepped over all of it and went upstairs towards Iris room. As I entered I see Iris mom sprawled out on the floor. As I get closer to the bed I see Diggy and Iris. Why is he in her bed? They both were rapped in covers but I couldn’t tell if they were wearing clothes. I hope so. I gently lifted a piece of cover off Diggy which revealed his shirt.  I went over to Iris and did the same. I sighed and went back downstairs. I was only 8:30am and I’m already feeling weird. I went over to the couch and started putting the pillows back on the couch neatly and getting wine glasses off the table. I place them next to the sink as I washed down the counters from the horrible smell of old dried up wine. After I finished the sparkling clean counters, I went over to the sink and hand washed all the dishes and glasses. I placed them in the cabinet. I searched around for some men shirts and pants. I looked in the guest room and found a couple. I went out into the front yard and shook the man awake and led him into a bathroom to change. Once finished I put him in the guest room and washed his suit pants, tie, and shirt. I placed the lamp shades on the lamps before sitting down. The house was nearly clean. All had to do was mop the floors and vacuum. Isn’t this a nice way to start off my morning?

Diggy P.O.V

I woke up to sounds of the vacuum downstairs. As I sat up so did Iris who just now waking up. It was only 10:00am. I wondered who that could be downstairs.

Diggy: maids??

Iris: *yawns* I don’t know

As I got out of the bed I saw Iris mom lying on the carpeted floor. I was stepped over her and Iris came around the other side. I opened the door and went slowly downstairs inhaling the smell of pine sol. I looked around and saw the living room sparkling. I looked into the kitchen and saw a familiar figure mopping the floor. Iris and I looked at each other surprised to see her here.

Diggy: Elana?

Elana: *turns around for sec then continues mopping*

I watched as she mopped the shiny floors then went into the closet and grabbed a large floor fan. She plugged it into the wall and turned it on. It was drying the kitchen floors. She put the mop away; then came back to put away the vacuum.
