"Baybeh, wake up!" Angel yelled in my ear.

Groaning, I took the earphone out of my ear so I could sleep in peace.

Just a few minutes later, though, my mom was banging on my door. "Audriana Rumi, get up. Now!"

"I'm upppp!" I yelled back, finally sitting myself up and climbing out of bed.

I put the earphone back in my ear.

"Hello. Hello! Audri-"

"Whattt?"

Angel chuckled. "You finally up, mama?"

"Shut up."

"Don't be mad at me because you decided to go to sleep at three in the morning."

I walked into the bathroom to shower and get myself ready for school. Today was my first day back after the incident, and I was not excited. Last night, I was so nervous that I wasn't able to fall asleep until just two hours ago.

I'm currently hating myself for that.

"I couldn't help it."

He sighed on the other end of the FaceTime call. "I know, baybeh. You feelin' betta?"

"No. I'm tired."

"Other than that. How you feelin' about ya first day back?"

I shrugged, turning on the shower. "I don't know. I'm too tired to feel anything right now."

"Well showa', wake ya'self up, and call me back."

"Okay."

I stepped into the shower as he hung up the phone. I felt a bunch of emotions come over me, and before I knew it, I was crying in the shower as I brushed my teeth.

"Dad?" I called out, hoping he was listening so I could talk to him about my emotions.

Just as I was getting out of the shower, the picture frame I had of my dad and I over my bathroom mirror shook enough just to grasp my attention.

A smile grew on my face. "Hi, dad. I know I've been talking your ears off recently, but I need you more than ever right now. I'm so nervous for today. I don't know how to feel about possibly coming face-to-face with Cedrick, Dayna, or Nicole."
