chapter twenty-one

                             7:30am

I'm not the type of person who gets their cup of coffee first thing in the morning, before I do anything else.
But, I do drink it when I'm feeling completely tired and like shit, and that day, had to be today.

I rubbed my eyes, before slightly opening them to let the shallow bit of sunlight, that was creeping in through the small space in my bunk curtains.
I smiled before tossing around, trying to wake up my legs and arms.

I checked the time on my phone, yawning in pain, as my mouth stretched further then usual seeing how tired and dead I felt. I groaned
before crawling out of my bunk, seeing as wake up call wasn't 'till eight and I had time to spear. Gaining feeling in my legs as I got down from my bunk.

I gazed down the long hall (for a tour bus) and searched the closed curtains covering everyone in their bunks.
I groaned before beginning to walk down to the small, and I mean small, kitchen area to make coffee for myself.

"Up so early?" Awsten wearily called out. I jumped hearing a voice speaking, getting a fright seeing as it was unexpected.

"Shit, you scared me." I said, turning around and crossing my arms over my chest.

He laughed, obviously amused at my shock and actions.

"Fuck off." I blankly said, laughing slightly after.

I turned back around to the coffee machine, turning it on and heating it up. I bit my lip, considering asking him if he wanted coffee, but I was still slightly feeling embarrassed from our shocking encounter.

"Coffee?" I smiled to myself, still facing the coffee machine which was at the counter in front of where Awsten was sitting.

He was scrolling through his phone, and by the short glimpse I had gotten, he was looking at twitter. His purple hair was messy, it looked as though it hadn't been brushed yet. He was wearing his brown glasses, which were slightly hanging off his nose by the bridge.

My stomach began to do this weird thing, that I had never felt before.
It felt like my stomach had just dropped while looking at him, the small glimpse had me completely melted inside.

But it was nothing, my feelings were just acting up. Again.

"Sure." He softly said.

I began to make the coffee, taking out items from the fridge and cupboards.

"So, how you liking all of, this?" He asked, raising his voice a bit in sarcasm.

"Do you mean, not being able to
get a comfortable sleep in small bunk?" I said in slight annoyance and amusement.

"Then yes, I'm liking it all." I smiled sarcastically. He laughed before commenting back.

"You'll get used to it, haz." He smiled, as I handed him his coffee.

"Nicknames now?" I smirked devilishly, lightly blushing as I took a sip of my coffee as I sat down beside him, crossing my legs.

"Maybe." He smirked back, taking a sip of his coffee, trying to copy me.

"Hm, okay, Aws." I hummed in response, smirking to myself as I sipped my coffee waiting for his reply.
