9. Headache

Alexis' P.O.V

I wake up, arms wrapped around something. When I've fallen asleep? I don't remember. My head hurts, like someone smashed my head with a baseball bat. I'm definitely sick and it's only my second day here. Is it my second or third day? I don't remember.

Slowly I open my eyes and look at the thing I'm laying on. Is that what I think it is? Please don't be it, I beg you. My eyes travel upwards, searching for his face. It only confirms what I already thought. I'm laying in bed with my best friends brother.

It's weird that I already call her my best friend, but I know she feels the same way. Of course she's the one who can time travel, so she's seen it coming. The only thing I'm not sure of, is what Stefan's doing in my bed. I don't remember sleeping with him, so that's not the case, but what is?

'Stefan, wake up!' I whisper.

He makes a funny noise, which kind of looks like a really soft snore. Please don't tell me he's one of those people who are hard to wake up. My arm in stuck under his upper body, so I can't get up. His eyes don't open, so that's not a good sign. 

'Dude, you're crushing my arm!' I say, this time a little bit louder.

I'm losing my patience, so I smack his chest. Hopefully that will wake him up, because I'm running out of ideas. Well, it doesn't. There's only one thing left I can think of, but I really don't want to do it. The last time I woke someone up that way, he punched me in my face.

'Stefan, wake up, you idiot!' I yell as loud as I can.

Stefan opens his eyes, looking like I scared him. I protect my face with my arm, just to be sure. People can do weird stuff if they're scared. Apparently, I'm lucky. He doesn't make any weird movements, it looks like he doesn't even know I'm here.

'Dude? Are you awake?'

His eyes immediately shoot my way, he has a confused look on his face. I can't blame him, I don't remember anything either. We both sit up straight, looking at our feet. My clothes are still on, that's a relief. That still doesn't help me figure out what happened.

'Why are you in my bed?' I ask Stefan.

'I don't know.'

My eyes close, trying to remember something. Power control class, that's what I remember. Strong arms, can't escape. Feeling in touch with the earth, after that feeling sick. Being picked up by someone, embarrassment, everybody could see my butt. Nothing after that.

'My head hurts like hell.' I mumble.

My phone makes a sound, so I grab it and look who texts me. It's Samantha, maybe she knows what happened. She's my last hope, if she doesn't know what happened, nobody does. Maybe Stefan knows, but he likes seeing me getting worried.

It's 7 PM, which surprises me. It's unlikely that I've slept a hole day, so I'm assuming I've only slept for a few hours. Why have I grabbed my phone again? Right, Samantha texted me. Time to find out why Stefan's laying in my bed and why my head hurts really badly.

Hey chick, it's time for diner. Maybe you should come down, bring Stef. We'll talk during diner. Xx Sam

Still no answers, but she knows that Stefan's with me. So I'm hoping she knows everything. It's weird that I can't remember what happened. It's probably just exhaustion, no big deal. I get up and pull my clothes straight. 

'Time for diner, get your ass out of my bed.' 

'But I don't want to go, your bed is nice.' He mumbles, while turning around.
