Zak POV

It's been days and I still haven't gotten one good nights sleep. I get a maximum of hour of sleep every night. I don't even know how I'm still functioning.

I lay in bed for hours hoping to fall asleep but sleep never comes. Then I end up going on my phone. My habit of staying up late doesn't only effect me, but it affects Darryl too.

He wakes up to me streaming at 4:00 am almost every night. Sometimes I'm recording and he'll make me "go to sleep".

So I say okay and I lay in bed for another couple of hours until 9:00 am. At first it wasn't noticeable but now he's starting to notice the bags under my eyes, and my lack of sleep.

He's beginning to worry.

So every night at 3:00 am, he comes and checks if I'm asleep. Of course I'm not, but I pretend I am.

But today I wasn't keeping track of the time and didn't notice him walking to my room. He opened the door and saw me looking at my phone.

He didn't look surprised and he sat on the edge of my bed. "Why don't you go to sleep?" He asked me.

"I can't fall asleep." I said.

"You can't fall asleep every night?" He asked.

"Yea- wait how did you know it was every night?" I asked.

"I knew you were faking, I'm not dumb." He replied, "What will get you to fall asleep?"

"Nothing works, I tried everything but I can't fall asleep." I replied.

"Have you tried this?" He asked.

I was going to ask what he meant but I put my head on his lap.

"What are you-"

He cut me off, "Don't ask, just go along with it."

I stayed silent as he played with my hair while humming. I felt a wave of exhaustion pass over me.

And I fell asleep.
