A sudden smack against my face is what instantly wakes me from my sleep in a rush,my eyes open wide and my breath hitches in my throat, the movement too being sudden and unusual

My eye sight is a blur causing me to constantly blink just to accommodate it, within those seconds I come to find out to my right Sarah is moving every limb of her body trying to adjust herself as if she's the only person in this bed her hand flying towards my face again but I aggressively push it away before I can even feel the impact

She is some heavy sleeper and the urge to push her off the bed just because is tempting me...let's see how much of a heavy sleeper she really is, I sit up and Place both my hands against her back and with a push I see her fall of the bed and hit the floor with a loud thud

I sit up with my ankles tucked under me as I see her kneeling on the floor,rubbing her eyes with a groan seeping out of her where I on the other hand start laughing

"Lilian what the hell?" she says her voice a little raspy and her hands rubbing her eyes trying to adjust to the lighting

"If this is how you treat your guest remind me to never sleep over again" She says standing up from the floor

"You were th-the one who sm-smacked me in th-the face, if anything I sh-should be the o-one reminding m-myself" I tease her in which She gasps loudly being overdramatic as always and I roll my eyes at her,a smile finding its way onto my face

"How dare you accuse me of such thing I'm your guest hello? if anything you should be making me breakfast in bed right now" she says with a stern nod and her arms crossed across her chest

I laugh again "Shut u-up you idiot and go brush your t-teeth so we can cook something to e-eat TOGETHER" I emphasize

"Don't have to tell me twice I'm the best cook out here"she says and quickly makes her way to the bathroom

"Do you have an extra toothbrush I could have" she yells out from there

I get up and go into the bathroom with her, handing her the extra toothbrush I had stored in the cabinets

I change out into some jogging pants and a t-shirt sliding on the only undergarment I was missing, I head back into the bathroom to brush my teeth before meeting Sarah downstairs,I hear her speaking and I'm confused as to who she's speaking with

"Morning Lilian" My aunt says when I turn the corner,Sarah's already sitting on one of the kitchen island stools eating her life away,she looks over at me with a mouth full of waffles making me chuckle and playfully roll my eyes at her

"Good m-morning" I reply

"How d-did your date g-go?" I question curious as to how it went,I take a seat beside Sarah who looks at me with squinted eyes but I pay no mind to her

"You had a date and you didn't tell me!" Sarah head snaps from me to my aunt almost immediately, her voice dripping with nothing but excitement

"Yes I had a date" My aunt chuckles and I get up to make me a plate of what she cooked for us

"Who is he?Wait no firstly is there gonna to be a second date?" She questions and I take my seat back beside Sarah gazing back at my aunt waiting for her response

"I seemed to enjoyed myself so yes,there will be a second date and he's a new employee who just came in a few weeks ago"

"Oh my god Cindy I see you boutta get this di-"

"S-Sarah"I say choking on my orange juice

Where else Cindy starts laughing "What can I say I still got it" she shrugs with a smirk

"So enough about me, how did the party go?" she asks taking her seat on the other side of the island, a cup of steamy coffee held on one hand

"Oh it was s-some p-p-party" I say

Sarah immediately starts telling her what happened which I don't mind I see my aunt as a sister I never had, she's young and understands me and situations in my life

"And then the jackass whispered something in her ear trying to get into her head calling her all these names" Sarah finishes the story

"Lilian why haven't you told me any of this?" She questions as I look down at my plate

"W-Well I d-didn't think it was ne-necessary since I'm n-not going to i-interact with h-him in any type of w-way or f-form anyways"

"That still doesn't explain as to why I'm kept in the dark about this stuff,I'm your aunt,I'm suppose to do everything and anything I can to make sure you're doing ok here,but keeping stuff like this from me is restricting that" she says and I'm settled with a frown,the guilt taking over my mind,I should've told her the second it started

"I-I'm Sorry I j-I just-" I struggle to come up with an excuse and she seems to notice

"It's fine I just need to be informed about these stuff ok?" she says and I immediately give her a nod

••••••••••••••

The rest of the day went by in a blur,Sarah left earlier than I expected but she had duties to full fill so I couldn't stop her

I stayed up for a while just watching tv with Cindy until we decided to call it a night once I got in my room I checked my phone for the first time today and come to find out I had a miss call from Nathan,it felt as if I hadn't talked to him for days so I decided to call him back hoping he was still up

"Hello" his well known voice seeps out through the line

"Uh y-you called?" I ask awkwardly,I don't know how to start a conversation since I'm not used to a usual phone call with a friend and I'm sure we all know why

"Yeah I just wanted to make sure you were okay, we haven't talked since Friday" he says and my heart swells in excitement at his statement,never have I had a person call me just to make sure I was okay

"I'm f-fine th-thank you for taking t-time out of your d-day to check up o-on me" I say, a smile finding it's way onto my lips,I head into my closet looking for an outfit for school tomorrow so I would have one less thing to worry about when I wake up

"No problem, anyways how did the party go?" He question and I plop myself onto my bed and start to lay myself stomach down with my feet in the air

"It was good, I had a good time" I half way lie,I mean I guess I did have a good time....for the first portion of it

"Bummer,I was hoping it'd be a total fail" he says

If only he knew

"W-Why?"I question

"That way you'd know Nathan Lane brings the party to the party" he says and I laugh

"I g-guess it w-would've been a tiny b-bit better if y-you were there" I tease, though I'm 100% sure if Nathan was there that night wouldn't have ended the way it did

"A tiny bit huh?" he replies

From there we continued to talk on the phone until we both called it off at around 11, I'm going to be so tired tomorrow it pains me to even think about it

I tiredly plug up my phone, struggling to plug up the box thingy into the outlet but soon enough the stupid thing went in and as soon as I got comfortable I instantly fell asleep
