I woke up the next morning feeling disgustingly groggy. I laid in bed for a couple of minutes before I realized Beau was downstairs and I needed to check on him.  I told Isla and Emilia last night that I was too tired for a sleepover and we all agreed we'd reschedule for another day, so after they left, I immediately got ready for bed and slept.

I sat up and swung my feet off my bed before setting them on the floor. Instead of the carpet, my toes were met with a hard body and a loud groan.

I screamed and looked down. Beau laid beneath me, clutching his stomach that I had just stepped on.

"What are you doing in my room and why are you on the floor?" I asked him, stifling a laugh at his pain.

He leaned on his arms and glanced up at me. "I woke up in the middle of the night and I got scared of the dark... or whatever... so I came up here," he mumbled quickly, his voice husky and deep.

I let out a loud and obnoxious laugh and teased, "Aw poor Bobo is scared of the dark?" I pouted and made a crying motion with my hands.

He grabbed the pillow that he was laying on and threw it at me as I continued to laugh harder. He stood up and stomped out of my room. "I'm going to go home!" he said from the hallway.

"Go home and come back, I'll make you breakfast!" I yelled back at him. He replied an 'okay' and I soon heard the door slam shut. I walked to the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror.

"Oh my God," I said aloud. The back of my hair was sticking up in a hundred different directions and my eyes were so puffy. Why were they puffy? Was this normal? Is there something wrong with my eyes? I was tempted to search it up on Google but I'd probably convince myself I had eyeball cancer. Then, I realized Beau had seen me like this.

I saw my cheeks turn red and my eyes widen. I raised my arms and left out a loud yawn before stripping my clothes and stepping into the shower.

After I had gotten ready, I headed downstairs to find both my sisters in the living room. Juniper spread herself out on the couch and Willow was setting her overnight bag on the floor.

"You guys just got back?" I questioned.

Willow glared at me and remarked, "Obviously."

"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. What, was grandma's not fun?" I taunted her.

Juniper stood up from the couch and ran to give me a big hug. She wrapped her arms around my waist as I ruffled her hair. "Just ignore her Mina, I had a lot of fun. Willow was such a party pooper though, she didn't want to play any board games with us."

"Aw, I would've played with you Juni."

Willow stomped herself upstairs and shut her door loudly behind her as Juni and I laughed at her awful attitude.

"Mina let's make pancakes!" Juniper suggested. I nodded happily and we headed to the kitchen to start breakfast.

Juniper retrieved the ingredients and started to mix them together in a large bowl. I decided to make eggs and in the middle of my scrambling, I remembered I needed to text Adrian about Beau. I poured the eggs into the pan and picked up my phone.

To Adrian

Adrian

My mouth turned into a smile and I replied a 'sure' and set my phone down on the kitchen counter.
