5 A New Day (1/2)

”You can stay over for the night. It's late, so I don't want you out.”

”Okay mom”

”Stop it or you can sleep in your car.”

”I'm sorry; I'll be good.”

I finished washing the dishes with Emily then head to my room to get her some nightwear. I had a silk dark blue pair of pajamas, and I had a matching pair in black. I show her to the guestroom, but she insisted on sleeping with me. My bed was big enough, but she gets clingy in her sleep. I'm the type of person how needs her space.

”Please.”

She gave the puppy dog eyes. The one thing I can't refuse.”

I sighed, but said okay.

We slipped into bed, and continued talking. I don't know at what point but we fell asleep.

The next morning I woke up groggily to a very annoying alarm. I fished out my hand to shut it off, but my hand only met air. Angrily I finally found it and slammed the button to turn it off. After a few seconds of silence, I got out of bed.

I walked slowly to the bathroom, and brushed my teeth. I noticed a note on the mirror.

MY DEAR SISTER,

I SORRY I'M NOT HERE WITH YOU, BUT I HAD TO HEAD TO WORK.
