It's 4AM and I'm fully charged. I'm also full of thoughts. I don't even know why. Maybe it's this awful day, maybe it's my "Dylan thoughts", I don't know. Oh well, at least I have my books here.

I love reading. It's the only thing that keeps me sane in this house. When I read a book, it's like I'm in another world, in another life, and honestly? It feels awesome. But as soon as I stop, I get back into my reality. And I hate it.

I read for about three hours, until I hear my father. "Amy! I ran out of clothes, do the laundry, you lazy robot!"
What an amazing morning.

I close my book and get ready. I put on a comfy, not-too-warm outfit, since I need to do laundry and probably a few more other house chores today. I make a high ponytail and exit my room. As usual, Dylan stands at the entrance.

"Morning Ms. Riches." He says.
"Good morning."
"How do you feel today?"
Huh? Why does he ask me that?
"Um.. I feel good." It's not a lie, actually. Dylan does make everything better.
"Oh good, I just thought after yesterday you maybe-"
"I'm fine, seriously." I chuckle.
"You look good today Ms. Riches."
"Only today?" Shit. I shouldn't have said that.
"Oh no, t-that's not what I meant I-"
"I was joking, thank you though." I say with a plastered grin on my face. Dylan just complimented me, even though I look like shit.
He looks confused. Fuck, I'm so stupid. Now he might suspect something.

The rest of the day goes by as I do my chores and I finish them pretty early.

"Hey Ms. Riches, you've worked hard today, do you want me to bring you some water?"
What the actual fuck? Why does he care?
"Uh no thank you. I can't drink, actually."
"Oh right. Because you're a robot. Right. Sorry."
"You have nothing to be sorry about Dylan." I smile. "Goodnight."
"Wait!" He stops me. "Can I talk to you for a minute? In private?"
No no no. He knows. Fuck he knows! He knows I'm not perfect. I'm so stupid! How could I possibly mess this up?!
