A text startled me from my uncomfortable spot on the couch. Propping myself up slowly from the couch, I started to hunt for my phone. Once I fished it out from in between the cushions, I turned down the brightness to be bewildered by the number of notifications I had.

4 missed calls and 87 unread messages

Amy: WAKE UP!

Amy: I'm at the library like a loner now! The librarians keep giving me the stink eye since the guy sitting next to me that smells like moldy cheese won't shut up! Hope your happy. 1:23

Amy: Eww! He just gave me his number and won't stop talking to me! I don't want to be rude and so I just said that I needed to go and now I'm hiding in the bathroom since I actually can't leave! Help!! 1:46

Amy: Are you up? I'm going to call you in case you lost your phone! 2:34

I quickly texted when I realized it was 2:39 and typed, Hey! Sorry, I just woke up! I'm not feeling too well. 😒

It wasn't a lie, my stomach wasn't feeling the best and my neck hurt from falling asleep on the couch.

Trish: Hey! Are you going to the lib with Amy? 10:52

Trish: Are you up? 12:15

Trish: Can you please answer this? Even if you don't want to hang out. I need to talk to you. 2:07

I responded sincerely, wondering what Trish wanted to talk about.

Sorry! I just woke up and am not feeling the best but I am always feeling well enough to talk! Is everything okay?

Garret: Go jump on Brett's bed and tell him he's missing a very important date! Thanks Chica! 😘 1:42

Garret: Is he up? 2:03

I decided to go check on Brett but, why was he still in bed?

He went to bed earlier than I had!

Gradually, I made way for upstairs taking the time to stretch and take the luxury of going to the bathroom. Thankfully, mother nature had not cursed me two weeks early! I opened Brett's room to see Brett sprawled out like a starfish on his bed and snoring lightly.

How was he still asleep?!

I plopped onto the bed and he groaned at this but, nevertheless opened his eyes into slits. "Angel." He smiled and then yawned.

"Brett." I nodded. "Why are you still in bed?" I asked narrowing my eyes. Something was wrong in the way that he woke up. I couldn't exactly pinpoint what exactly but something was wrong. Their was a moment before his eyes closed again and he enveloped his arms around me. "Brett! It's almost 3!" I objected, bringing my arms up to my chest. My body couldn't help but sink into comfort.

Tired blue orbs meet mine before he stated, "I need my beauty sleep."

"What time did you go to bed?"

He licked his bottom lips and closed his eyes once more. "Last time I looked at the time, it was 9 something."

"Brett! What were you doing?!" I asked outraged. I had fallen asleep around 5ish and he even told me that he was tired last night!
