Breaking Steele Walls

Chapter 7

The next morning, Krystal woke up with the sunlight streaming through her white curtains and onto her eyes. She groaned and rolled over, putting a pillow over her face at an attempt to block out the light. It didn't.

After a few minutes of trying to go back to sleep, and failing, she sluggishly sat up on her bed. She rubbed her eyes while yawning.

She was still exhausted. She got home late last night because of the charity event and right after she showered and got dressed, she knocked out on her bed with her hair still slightly wet.

She blinked a few times, looking around her room to adjust her eyes to the brightness. The brightness in her room in the morning was the one thing she hated about her room. She loved her room, just not in the morning.

Her room was light and bright. She had white walls, white pillows, white blankets. Basically, everything in her room was white, considering that was her favorite color. Which is pretty ironic because she mostly only wears dark colors. 

There was a door that led to her small closet and another door that led to the hallway. There was a window set underneath the large window in her room that gave a beautiful view of the city. Against the wall, there were stackable cubicles that Krystal put her shoes in, one pair in each.

After her eyes adjusted, she was too lazy to stand so she just rolled onto the floor. "Ow," she groaned. That was not one of her best moves. With another sigh, she stood up on her feet. She threw her blanket back on the bed. Eh, she'll fix it later.

She opened the door and walked out into the hallway. The door right across from hers was Liv's room. She noticed it was open so that meant she was already up. She continued to walk down the hallway and saw that Aaron's door was already open too. Was everyone already up?

Since there were six of them living together there were six bedrooms in the apartment and each of them had their own rooms. They decided after they graduated college that they would all live together and share the cost. If they each pitched in, they figured that their overall combined money could get them a way nicer and bigger apartment than if they each lived on their own. So, in the end they got a very nice, spacious apartment that they all shared. They didn't mind living together either because they were all best friends and they would always be at each others houses anyways.

She continued to walk until she came to the living room. The living room was in an open floor plan so she could see the kitchen from it. The living room had a tan colored couch that was long enough to fit all six of them when they sat and an electric fireplace with a flat screen TV above that they often played games on. The far wall was lined with windows and double doors that led to the balcony.

"Finally, sleeping beauty's awake," Aiden said out loud when she walked into the kitchen. Krystal gave him a flat look.

"More like Princess Fiona," Ryder snickered when she walked past him. Krystal punched him in the arm but he didn't even flinch.

Krystal yawned again. "What time is it?"

"Almost noon," Liv answered.

Krystal nodded and looked to see what they were eating. Turkey bacon and scrambled eggs. "Why are you guys just now eating?"

"It's Saturday morning. We all slept in," Dylan replied with a shrug.

Krystal got a plate from one of the upper cabinets and started putting bacon and eggs on her plate. She grabbed a fork and went to sit on one of the bar stools around the kitchen island.

"Where were you last night anyways? You didn't come home until almost 12 this morning." Liv asked her.

"I went to an event yesterday. It was last minute thing so I didn't get the chance to tell you guys," she replied with a full mouth.
