I wake up and roll out of bed, quite literally, and land on the hard floor. I army crawl my way out of my room, stand up and run downstairs. I race into the living room and lay down on the couch. I sit up and look around.

"Im hungry" I whisper to myself.

I walk into the kitchen and find Dad drinking coffee.

"Good Morning" I say flashing a bright smile.

"Want some breakfast?" He asks.

"Sure"

He gestures over to the stove.

"There's pancakes and bacon" He says looking at his phone when it buzzes.

"Thanks" I say jogging over to the amazing smelling food.

I reach up into the cabinet and grab a plate and a fork. I take 2 pancakes leaving 6 more, and 3 pieces of bacon.

"Yum!" I say taking a bite of the crunchy bacon.

I head back to the table with my breakfast sitting across from my dad. I start eating the pancake and realize i forgot syrup. I go to the pantry and come back out.

"Hey, Mom!" I say smiling.

"Hi, honey" She says sluggishly walking towards Dad.

She sits down next to him and I go back to my original spot.

"Want breakfast?" I ask Mom pointing towards the stove.

"Oh, why, yes please!" She says following my gaze.

She walks over to the stove and grabs a plate of pancakes and bacon. She comes back sitting down at the table again.

"Is it good?" Dad asks looking at my empty plate.

"Mhmm"I nod shoving the last of it into my mouth.

"Good" He says smiling.

Once I finish I go back upstairs to my room.

The day progresses and I get a text from Skye.

Skye: did you tell your parents yet?

Me: no...

Skye: neither did I

Me: i'm kinda nervous

Skye: SAME!

Me: we should probably tell them soon though

Skye: Yeah, I guess

Skye: i'll tell them now

Me: me too

I head downstairs,

"Mom, Dad" I say looking at each of them.

"Yeah?" Dad says facing me.

"What's up?" He asks.

The sky.

"Well.." I pause looking at my feet

"It's kind of a long story" I say nervously, while Mom and Dad look at each other wearily.

Ugh. Do I have to tell them? Of course I do, that's why I dragged myself down here anyway, isn't it? Well, it's too late to back down now. Breathe in... breathe out... I sure hope there not mad, or worse... disappointed! Come on, you have to admit that so, so much worse than them just being mad. Come on, Piper! Do this now! Get it over with! I'd rather get this over with and know than to just stand here awkwardly. Ok. 3... 2... 1...
