IVY'S POV
*its the night before finals and i'm going over all my study guides i was given. i'm upset because i can't facetime joey due to studying and im stressed out about passing my exams. i take a deep breath as tears brim my eyes and i grab my phone, facetime joey. i set my phone against the wall and rest my head in my hands.*

joey- is everything okay baby? i thought you said you couldn't facetime tonight

ivy- i did but i'm so stressed about all of this

joey- take a deep breath princess. you're going to be okay

*i take a deep breath and wipe the tears that were now rolling down my cheeks. joey gives me a sincere look and i smile small at him.*

joey- how about i help you study?

ivy- how would you see the answers?

joey- send me pictures and i'll ask you them. i just have to trust you not to cheat

ivy- okay maybe it'll help

*i take a picture of each page of the first packet and send them all to joey. i put the packet in a drawer and he asks the first question. i answer correctly and we do this till we get through all the study guides. i only answered a few wrong on each of them and i felt ready for my tests.*

ivy- thank you for always helping

joey- don't worry about it baby. but i did prove my point. you're going to pass

ivy- i hope so

joey- it's going to happen. now go to sleep, it's 11pm

ivy- only if you go to sleep too

joey- i will love

ivy- okay. thank you again baby. i love you

joey- i love you too

ivy- i'll see you on saturday

joey- see you

*he blows a kiss before he hangs up and i fall asleep with a smile on my face.*

{ time skip: 6:45am }

*i get ready quickly, not caring about a shower because i'm only in class for one period and start making breakfast. i make sure that it has enough protein to give me energy and so i won't get hungry in the middle of testing. i pour my eggs onto a plate with zucchini bread before grabbing my water bottle out of the fridge. i start eating and read over my first study guide: art. i finish eating around 7:05 and i put my vans on. i take my anxiety medication and sit down on the couch to relax. i watch an episode of icarly and when i check the time, it's 7:45. i stand up, turning off the tv and walk out of my dorm over to class.*

teacher- okay class. the seating is different due to testing. i will need all of you to turn in your study guide for any extra credit points that will end up helping all of you on the exam.

*the whole class turns in our study guides and she passed out the tests, telling us to start. i zoom through the first page and smile to myself, knowing my studying has helped.*
