*2:34 am*
Alex's POV
I wake up to the sound of my phone ringing.
Who the hell is calling me at this ungodly hour?
I slowly get out of bed and answer the phone. I back away slowly from the bed to not wake up my Princess.
"Hello?" I whisper into the phone.
"Alex. Get your ass to the warehouse right now!" I hear my idiotic brother yell into the phone.
"Aaron, it's 2:30 in the morning. I am not leaving my bed to deal with your drunk ass!" I yell, but not too loud to wake up my Princess.
"Excuse me, jackass?" I hear him slur.
Why am I wasting my precious time of sleep on this sore of an asshole?
"You heard me. Look, I'm fucking tired of your bullshit. If you need me, I'll go to the warehouse during business hours. Basically whenever the fuck I wanna come in," I say. All I hear is him grunt.
"You better get your ass here right now or I will-" I cut him off by hanging up the phone.
That's so much better.
I put my phone on silent and quietly walk to my bed. I put my phone on the nightstand and climb back into bed. I lay next to my Princess and she instantly snuggles closer to my body.
I kiss her forehead and whisper, "goodnight beautiful" and close my eyes.

"Oh no! Oh no! Baby, I'm so sorry," I hear my girlfriend say as I sleep. I start opening my eyes and turn to her. I look at her and she's crying as she rushes out of bed.
"Baby, what's wrong?" I ask her.
Her hands are covering her face and she's crying. I try to get near her but she pushes me away.
"Baby, I'm so sorry," she cries. I get up from my bed and pull her closer to me.
"Sorry for what, love?" I ask her.
"I bled through your sheets. I didn't know my period was going to start. I'm so sorry, Alex," she cried.
She lifts the blankets up to show me. I look over and see the bloodstains. I look back at my girlfriend and see that she's covering her face still. I pull her hands from her face and wipe her tears with the pads of my thumbs.
"Baby, don't cry. It's ok, you don't have to say sorry. You didn't know," I tell her.
"But I feel bad and embarrassed," she says.
"Why do you feel embarrassed?" I ask her.
"Because I stained your sheets. What if you rolled in my blood?" she asked.
"I would have understood, sweetheart," I tell her.
"Why aren't you getting mad?" she asked.
"Because this is a normal thing that you go through. And you can't really control it," I say.
She smiles. I smile back. She finally looks into my eyes and I grab her hands.
"You're the best," she says. I kiss her cheek.
"No, that's you, baby," I say. She blushes.
"Still, I'm sorry about your sheets," she says.
"Baby, it's ok. How about you go take a shower while I go wash the sheets," I suggest.
"I like that idea, but could you please get me some pads from the store because I don't have any here?" she asked.
"Of course, love," I tell her and she smiles.
"Really?" she asked.
I caress her cheek and she smiles at my touch.
"Of course, baby. Does it matter which ones?" I ask her.
"Can you get me the Always size 4 pads, please?" she asks.
"Of course, I'll be right back, baby," I tell her.
I let go of her and change into some regular clothes. She picks out an outfit from her drawers. I then take off the sheets and blankets off the bed.
"Baby, you're the best," I hear her say again. I smile and turn towards her.
"Baby, that's you," I say to her. I kiss her cheek and take the sheets downstairs to the laundry room.
