I sit up slowly against the headboard, realizing I was shirtless.
How did I get home?
"Oh thank God, I thought you were dead for a while, I had to check if you were breathing." Lylah walks in holding a food tray.
"What the hell are you here for?"
"Um I live here."
I look around realizing I was in a place that wasn't my own. This must be her room, stuffed animals, pink decor, yeah this was definitely her room.
"Wait... if I slept here... where did you sleep?"
"Right next to you."
"Oh my God you-"
"I suggest you stop there if you're going to imply I had sex with your unconscious body." Her eyes narrow.
"I'll leave it alone... for now anyway."
"Yeah well here, eat up." She places the tray on my lap. "Maybe you have a concussion, seems like you don't remember much?"
I eye the plate suspiciously,picking at the eggs with my fork. "You made this?"
"No, my mom did. It's safe." She huffs, sitting at the end of the bed.
"So your mother is aware you have a boy in your room, interesting." I scoff before picking up a piece of bacon.
"Well yeah she helped get you up the stairs."
"What did you tell her?"
"The truth?"
"And she didn't show any signs of judgement?" I question.
"No, she was worried about you." She gives a bright smile.
"Worried? She would waste her time worrying about a boy she's never met?"
"Well.. yes, she knows I care about you so she wants me happy."
"Pathetic." I couldn't help but chuckle.
"In your eyes maybe." She shrugs.
"Shit, what time is-"
"You aren't going to school don't even think about it." She gently pushes me back against the headboard.
"But-"
"No, you will rest for a few days. Oh that reminds me- I have a surprise for you!" She rushes out of the room.
I pull my phone from the small table beside me to check the time. It was almost twelve, there really was no point in going.
"I thought you would enjoy this." She pulls a PS4 out of her bag.
"You did-"
"Relax I didn't buy it, it's yours."
"You broke into my house?!"
"Actually your parents let me in, they also thought it would be a good idea."
"So you're best friends with my parents now? I just want you to know that won't make me like you." I grimace.
"It's okay." She nods.
"Well... dey chu brink any gahs?" I ask with a mouthful of food.
"Did I bring any games? Of course I brought four." She bends down in front of her tv, hooking up the console.
She did have a nice body I'll give her that. Like really really nice body.
"Nice shorts." I joke, looking at the tiny unicorn print.
Her head pops up, tilting her head over her shoulder. "U-oh thank you." She turns back around to continue her task.
"Uh I think I finished, I'm going to shower." She stands to her feet and looks around in her closet for clothes.
"Whatever." I'm too immersed in the tv to look away.

After her shower, she came back with grey goop on her face and a small dog in her arms. She didn't say anything, she just sat on the small couch in the corner and watched as I played.
After a few hours of playing I look over to ask a question but she was asleep.

She must have been exhausted trying to take care of me last night and this morning.
