7:12am

my eyes fluttered open softly as the warm light hit my skin from the open window. a light breeze danced around my room as the tired state of mine began to disappear.

my smooth palm rubbed over my eyes as a long yawn escaped my lips. i felt my toes curl around the soft blanket that rested over my body.

i lick my dry lips while shuffling over to my side. as my body turns, i am faced with my phone.

my eyebrows furrow out of confusion. soft noises could be heard from it, making me shuffle a little closer.

light snores.

one eyebrow raises as i think to myself what the hell is happening.

it's like a memory came flying into my brain as i remember i had called ethan last night. my thumb clicks the button of my phone to see the call is still on.

my jaw drops the slightest bit before my lips automatically begin to curve up. my body was engulfed by butterflies knowing he had called me.

knowing he must still be asleep, i threw the blanket off my body, the cool wind sending goosebumps to rise on my skin.

the warmth of the sun helped a little as i forced myself to get out of bed. multiple yawns and scratches happened as i walked around my room.

the white see-through curtains covered the windows as light bird chirps were heard outside. the song that they sung sounded beautiful to my ears, giving me a tingly feeling for this morning.

"ethannn get up!" a deep voice calls from my phone making me nearly fucking trip. my eyes widen as my heart begins pumping fast.

i hear a groan and shuffling noises from my phone making me pounce onto my bed.

i crawled close to the phone to listen.

i heard faint but loud knocks on the speaker of my phone, making me realise someone must be knocking on his door.

ethan lets out another groan of frustration as the sound of his body moving against his sheets were heard.

"mmm no." ethan mumbles.

my head shakes lightly as i faintly chuckle.

i still wasn't used to his extremely deep and raspy voice. it was so toxic to me that i wanted to listen to him talk all day.

"mum and i want to let you know we are going shopping so you'll be home alone." the other voice calls out once again. my eyebrows furrow at the voice.

"come on bro, we haven't made you breakfast this time."

bro?

he has a brother?

"ethan wake up! i need to make sure you at least get up to have food for the morning."
