Juliet's POV

I woke up in the middle of the night.
My eyes hurt, and my body was stiff.
I was in my outfit I wore earlier that day.

First I took a shower, then I put on plaid pajama pants, and a black tank top.

I grabbed my phone and checked the time. It was 3am.

I slept for the whole day..?

I walked to the living room, and Matt was asleep on the couch.

"Matt.." I shook him.

"What..?" He groaned.

"Get up." I whispered. He opened his eyes.

"Hey, you're awake." He smiled.

"Yup. I'm awake." I said.

I went to the kitchen, and Matt followed.

"Want anything to eat?" I asked, looking in my fridge.

He bumped me by the hip, I laughed and he looked inside. He opened my freezer.

"Yay!" He got out the ice cream. I laughed and got out two spoons.

"You know what would be cool?" I asked.

"What?"

"Have Hayes and Lesley over." I said as I dug into my ice cream.

I got chocolate chip cookie dough, Matt got chocolate.

"It's 3am." Matt said.

"That didn't stop Hayes from taking me to the Empire State Building." I said.

"True." Matt said as he went through the door and into his apartment.

"What are you doing?" I yelled.

He came back with his penny board.

"We're going to skate to Hayes's and Lesley's place." Matt said.

I went to my room, put on chestnut Uggs, and grabbed my pastel penny board. I put my hair up into a ponytail.

"Okay, let's go." I said as we went out the door.

We rode our skateboards to Hayes's house.

"What do you think, knock on the door, or go up on the fire escape?" I asked.
We both looked at each other.

"Fire escape." We both said.

We climbed up the ladder and we stood on the fire escape. I opened his window and climbed inside, Matt stayed outside. I shook Hayes awake.

He was sweating, and shaking.

"No.." Hayes whispered.

"Hayes?" I shook him.

"No!" He screamed louder. He's having a nightmare.

"Hayes wake up!" I said.

His eyes shot open, he realized who I was and he hugged me.

"Juliet! I'm so glad you're here." He looked at me.

"Is everything okay?" I asked.

"I just had a bad dream. What's up? What are you doing here?" He asked.

"I want you to come with me. Grab your skateboard." I smiled as he got up, put on a sweatshirt, and grabbed his penny board and we climbed out of his window. Then we rode to Lesley's house.

She doesn't have a fire escape, so we tried to open the door. It was locked.

"Luckily, I know where they keep the spare key." I smiled as I went to a small fountain on the side of her house,
grabbed the key taped under it, and put it in the door knob.
