Work is a pain in the ass. I get up at six in the morning, eat, got to work, have lunch, do some more things at work, then go home at nine at night. I work 5 out of the 7 days of the week, I mean it's amazing to be out of high school but work sucks. It's amazing being able to earn my own money. Taking inventory for almost 17 hours a day is so boring but it's the only way I can actually work. The 17 hour work days will cut down to hopefully 8 hour days after today seeing as though I'm getting ready to move to California in a month. Yes school just ended last week and college doesn't start till September, we still have to go find a place to live and get familiar with the area. So me, Bryan and Mason will move two states over the day after my mom's birthday in July. I'm just glad that it's Friday today. Bryan said he has something special planed for tomorrow afternoon, I have no clue what it is. As I walked into the front door, I sighed throwing my keys on the table in the entryway. I slid off my shoes leaving them by the door and walking up stairs to my room. I quickly changed into my deadpool pajamas.

I walked downstairs to find something to eat

I walked downstairs to find something to eat.  I dug around in the fridge passing by the uncooked foods. I finally decided on some Raman. I sighed waiting for the noodles to cook in the microwave. trying to be as quite as possible because with it being almost 10 pm everyone in the house should be asleep by now. I pulled the food out of the microwave and mixed in the little flavor packet. I carried it up to my room and got onto my bed, turning on the tv and opening Netflix. I scrolled through till I landed on The Nightmare Before Christmas and pushed play. I ate my food and watched the movie. A couple minutes after eating I grew tired and fell asleep.
***Emily's dream***
It was dark, a little too dark for comfort. It was raining so I guess it was a given that it would be dark, but I still hated it. I was walking alone in the streets of down town Ogden, the city sounds around me. The sirens, a gun shot here or there, just like any other night. But something about tonight just seemed different. Suddenly the scene came to outside a hospital. My panic grew, as I walked (well more like ran) into the hospital. Then ran down the hallway to a room, I flung open the door and there laying on the bed was Mason. He was hooked up to many machines most of them were beeping wildly then others softly. He looked beaten to a pulp, almost dead looking. He wouldn't wake up for anything that I said. Then all of the sudden the beeping machines went flat.
***end dream***
I jolted awake, tears running down my face. I looked at the clock that was being shown on the tv, it was only midnight. I sighed and pushed both hands through my hair. I yanked the blanket off of me and walked out into the hallway and down the hall a little bit. I pushed open Mason's door, and there he was. Fast asleep on his bed. I walked over to him and got into the bed with him, he felt me and woke up. He must have noticed the tears running down my face.
"What's wrong Em?" He whispered.
"I had a bad dream. I couldn't go back to sleep." I whispered back
"Oh OK. Come on you can sleep with me tonight." I smiled into the darkness, and cuddled in closer to his warmth. He soon fell back to sleep and it was his slow breathing that helped me fall back to sleep, hoping that what I just dreamt was just a silly dream.
The next morning, I woke up to the feeling of Mason moving to get off the bed.
"Morning sis." I smiled at him. I looked over at the clock and saw it was seven in the morning.
"Why are you awake this early?"
"Just because you don't have work today doesn't mean nobody else does." I nodded my head and fell back into his bed, covering myself up the rest of the way with his blanket. He chuckled and pulled the blanket off of me. I groaned as the cool air hit my body. "But you do need to go to your own room now." I flipped him off getting off the bed and out the door.
"Love ya too, Em. Love ya too." He called after me. When I got back to my room I laid down on my bed and passed out.
A few hours later I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing in my ear.
"What?" I asked into the phone, not really caring who it was.
"Well, you're either mad at me. Or I'm waking you up." It was Bryan. I groaned sitting up looking at the bouncing clock on my tv. It was about 10.
"You're waking me up." I said into the phone.
"Well I'm getting ready to pull into your driveway. Come answer the door." He hung up and I got out of my bed and walked downstairs. The sun hurting my eyes as I opened the front door.
"Jódete, sun..."(fuck you) I mumbled under my breath, closing my eyes in the process.
"I have no clue what the fuck you just said but I'm guessing it was something  about hating the sun." I opened my eyes slightly to see Bryan in front of me, blocking the sun out. I grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him into the house, closing the door behind us.
"What I said was, 'Fuck you, sun.' I've been asleep for so long and I just woke up, the sun is a killer on the eyes." He chuckled at me, shaking his head.     "You Amaze me more and more every day. And that is one of the many things I love about you." looking down at the floor I blushed at his words. He grabbed my chin and lifted my head up to meet his gaze. "I also love when you blush." He closed the gap between us and kissed me. I kissed back, I love kissing him. Kissing him sends shock ways throughout my body. starting at my head and working their way down the rest of my body. I love the feeling, it doesn't just have to be a kiss either. It can be the simplest of touches. The shock waves that wash through my body, send me into over drive yet at the same time it calms me. To me its like being outside just after a lightning storm, you can feel the energy in the air yet you know it's over and that you're safe being out. So it's like the calm after the storm. We pulled apart, and he rested his forehead on mine. We were both breathing heavily.
After the kiss we sat around watching movies for a few hours, until it was time for me to go get ready for the special thing Bryan had planed. I got in the shower, washing my hair and body. When I got out I pulled on a matching push up bra and pantie set. Then I pulled on some dark blue shorts with a mint colored tank top from pink. I pulled on some black and white sandals, I then walked into the bathroom and below dried my hair. Pulling a little bit back into a small ponytail I attached a mint colored bow into my hair. I grabbed my favorite pair of sunglasses and walked downstairs, to see Bryan watching the last scene in Trolls.

I giggled at him

I giggled at him.
"You know you didn't have to watch Trolls right?" He jumped at my voice.
"Yeah I know but nothing else was on." I shook my head at my childish boyfriend, chuckling a lite bit. He finally looked away from the movie, and his eyes widened. He eyes traveling up and down my body,  mouth agape.
"What? Is something wrong? If there is I can go and change." I said pointing towards the stairs. He snapped out of his trance, and shook his head.
"No nothing's wrong. You just look beautiful." I looked down at my sandals, blushing. He was standing in front of me in a matter of seconds.
"Don't hide your beautiful face from me." He said putting his finger under my chin, lifting my face so our eyes could meet. "I love when you blush." He said kissing me. After he kissed me we walked out the door to start our date...
