UNEDITED
I woke up earlier than my alarm. Three hours earlier, to be precise. It was currently 3am in the morning, and I was lying on my bed, lost in my thoughts.
I wondered what would happen in the future. The future is always so uncertain, it was impossible to know what would happen next. I wondered what the future would be for me. Would it be dark, full of pain and suffering? Or would it turn out better than the hundred scenarios I imagined? Would I find a donar? I hoped I could.
I didn't want to leave. Not yet. I wanted to leave my mark here, to make history in the world of music with my composition.
I thought back to the times Alan and I spent together, my lips curving upwards as soon as I did so. I didn't want to go yet.
If I left, I was scared that I might get replaced. Alan might like someone else.
It was a selfish thought, yet I couldn't lie to myself.
My thoughts were starting to get right down depressing, so I scrolled through my phone to get my mind off things. After watching a few episodes of Nancy drew- which Deon had insisted I watch- it was almost 5.
When I had completed yet another few episodes, I was engrossed in it. How did I not watch this before? This was great.
When it finally ended, it was with a cliffhanger, and the next season wasn't released yet.
The soft sound of someone cursing made me more awake, and I sighed knowing the tenant downstairs would be shouting at this hour every morning because she had to wake up early.
I groaned, stretching myself for a bit to let my sore joints soothe. Getting out of bed was exhausting, which wasn't surprising considering I didn't get a wink of sleep last night.
Going to school was tiring, but I had to do it nonetheless.
Being distracted by my thoughts, I bumped into someone.
"Sorry," I apologized, hoping the person would let it go at that.
"Livia?"
At the mention of my name, I looked up to see Jane beaming at me.
"Hey."
"Didn't you two start going out yesterday?" She asked, looking visibly confused.
"Yeah."
"Then why do you look like death?" Are you feeling okay?"
"I'm fine. I just couldn't sleep so I binged Nancy drew and then it was morning."
A grin spread across her face at the mention of that.
"So you watched it? How was it?"
"It was good, though I'm dead tired. I don't know how you manage to do it every other day."
"That, my friend, is dedication."
We talked all about the series and went our separate ways to class, and I was overcome with nerves.
Alan was in this class too. After what happened on the rooftop, I felt weirdly embarrassed.
However when I got in class, there was no sign of the infrutiating smirk and the familiar mop of dark hair.
So he's not here yet.
It was a little disappointing, and I shook those thoughts away from embarrassment.
He sure is late. Maybe he overslept.
At least, that's what I thought.
But as more classes passed, there was no sign of Alan anywhere.
