This story is comedically dramatic.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••

It's been two days since I've last seen sunlight.

Since I've last got out of bed.

Since I've made the biggest mistake of my life.

I hear a knock at the front door but I roll over and pretend that I didn't hear it.

Next thing I know they're banging at the door which makes me jolt up in shock.

"I know you're in there, Aspen" I hear Kayden yell from the other side of the door

I reluctantly get out of bed and drag myself down the stairs and towards the door.

I unlock the door and squint my eyes as the sun hits me in the face.

When my eyes adjust I see Kayden standing there with a bright smile on his face

"No offense, but what are you doing here?" I ask him as I cross my arms over my stomach

"Ouch," he says teasingly and places a hand over his chest

"And Carolina asked me to babysit you" he says with a shrug

Are you kidding me right now?!

They sent me a babysitter!

"Are you serious?" I ask him

"Yeah, she said it was an emergency" he says

"Come in" I say as I hold the door wider for him to enter.

When he's entered the house I close the door and lock it before quickly climbing the stairs.

I have adrenaline and fury running through my veins right now.

How could they send me a babysitter?!

They kept me constantly supervised at their house!

Was that not even for them?!

"Are you okay?" Kayden asks as he follows me into my bedroom and sits in my desk chair

"I'm fine" I reply quickly before grabbing my phone and groaning when I realize it's dead

Of course it is.

"Can I borrow your phone?" I ask Kayden as I turn to face him

He looks at me with a concerned expression and presses his lips together before standing up and walking towards me.

When he reaches me he places his hands gently on my shoulders before sitting me down on my bed.

"Aspen, I don't know what you're going through, but I'm worried about you" he says seriously as he kneels in front of me

"I told you, I'm fine" I say with a serious tone but he shakes his head

"No, you're not" he states

"No offense, but your eyes are red and bloodshot, you look like you haven't eaten in days, and you smell a little ripe" he says which makes me glare at him

I see him visibly flinch at my expression as he reaches into his pocket and pulls out his phone.

He hands me his phone which I grab with eager hands before standing up.

I quickly type in his password and go into his contacts. I click on Carolina's contact name and choose to FaceTime her.

As the phone rings I choose to pace the space beside of my bed as Kayden looks at me in confusion.
