I woke up in the middle of the night to footsteps. I think it's night still. It's still dark out. I yawned and sat up running my eyes. "Hello?" I quietly call up. I jumped when a body sits next to me. "It's just me Y/n." Emily says. "Oh... what are you doing up?" I ask. "I don't know. I couldn't sleep." She says. "Want me to stay up with you?" I asked. "You don't have to." She says. "I want to. Now let's go upstairs before we wake someone." I say. Emily and I quietly make our way upstairs. Dodging the steps that creek when you step on them.

"I'm kinda thirsty." She whispers. "Me too. I'm hungry too. Let's go get something." I say. When we went to the kitchen we froze seeing the light on under the door. "Someone's in there." Emily whispers. "Do you think someone broke in?" She asks and I shrugged. "I don't know. But I'll used my dads bat if they did." I grabbed the wooden bat and held It securely in my hand. "Ready?" She asks and I nod.

Before we could even open the door it swings open. "Ahhh!" We shout and Emily pushes me in front of her. "What are you doing?" I ask and push her back in front of me. "You have the bat weirdo." She says. "Girls what the heck are you doing?" We hear. We look and see my grandmother standing in the door. I hide the bat behind my back. "Emily made me do it." I say and receive a slap to the back of my head. "Stop lying on me." Emily says. "Emily couldn't sleep so I decided to stay up with her." I tell my grandma. "Well it's almost six in the morning. The sun will be up soon." Grandma says.

"Now put that bat down and come help me prepare breakfast." She says. "Yes ma'am." We say. I place down the bat and follow the two in. Washing my hands and grabbing ingredients grandma babs tells us to get. Then the three of us gather at the table and prepare food for later. "So I heard y'all got in a roughed up yesterday." Grandma says. "Yeah. It's was these three girls and this guys. They came out of nowhere." I say.

"Then I punched one of the girls and we ran off. Then she threatened me." Emily says. "Is that why you can't sleep Emily?" Grandma asked. The girl sighed and shrugs. "I can't hear shrugs." Grandma says. "No... well yes. I'm just kinda on the edge. I feel like someone's out to get me now. But it's probably just my nerves getting to me." Emily says. "It's ok to feel that way. Everyone gets like that. But you have a house full of family right here to protect you. Y/n got up just so you wouldn't be alone." Grandma tells her. Emily nods and smiles at me.

"Thanks for staying up with me. I know how much you love you sleep." Emily pulls me into a side hug. "No problem. I wanted to make sure you were ok." I say. "Sometimes I wish my mom was still alive. She'd always sleep with me when I'm scared or couldn't sleep. Sometimes we'd y'all all night till the sun was up." Emily says and frowns. "Well if you like Y/n, you, and I can make this a morning routine." Grandma says. "I'm cool with that." I say. Emily soon smiles at us. "I'd like that."
