Shota's POV:

"Damn. More flower petals..." I used all the strength I had to pull myself out of bed. "I wonder how long I slept for. Why do I care? All I do is sleep." I slowly made my way towards the kitchen and looked at the clock. It was 10:45 PM (22:45). "Maybe I'll just go back to sleep..." I muttered, heading back to my bed. Every step I took shot pain through my body... maybe because every step reminded me of my existence.

I tried to sleep, but it was no use. My damn insomnia kicked in at the worst times. Getting annoyed, I stood up and walked towards my window. It was an old window and always had blackout curtains blocking out any chance of sunlight or light in general. I slowly drew the curtains to reveal the moon, shining down on the lively downtown city.

I sighed and opened the window. The cool air immediately hurried in to the cramped apartment, lightly blowing my hair. Sitting down on the windowsill and dangling my legs down, I thought. "Yah know, I could jump now. If I scooted fowards just a tiny bit... Nah, I'm actually ENJOYING the outside for once." I pulled my legs back into my apartment and leaned my head on the side of the window frame. I tooks deep breaths in and out before eventually falling asleep on the windowsill.

Shota's POV:

I woke up to sensation of the suns rays beating down on my quite pale skin. "Ughhhhhhh." I was still on the windowsill, on the 10th floor, inches away from a long fall. "Damn... I could have died. Pfft! I wish..." I climbed down and closed the windows and curtains. According to my clock, it was now 9:21 AM. I had no intention of doing anything today (like every other day) so I headed towards my bed.

For the first time in a while, I took the time to actually look at my bed. It had some old sheets on it that were covered in dark red stains and dried blood. Yea, I knew they were there, but I didn't know they were THAT bad. Quite frankly, I didn't CARE.... but they were pretty bad... "Maybe I'll go wash them today. The laundry mat isn't that far away and it's still KINDA early so I can try my best to avoid contact with others."

I was muttering and finally decided that a quick wash wouldn't hurt. First I got a shower and got changed though. I decided to wear a pair of blue Jean's and hoodie. Just as I started to take the sheets off my bed and put them in a laundry basket, I heard my phone ring.
