Katie and Rachel were already asleep β it was three in the morning, and you and Christina were awake. there was no sound in the apartment, other than your quiet chattery. it was good, since she wanted to hear any little sound coming from her dad's room.
you're a young barista in a coffee shop downtown, and met Christina when she passed by there. she looked troubled that day. she seemed tired. since then, you've been hanging out, not caring she was older than you β she sometimes even told you about her daughter.
now, sitting on the couch together, you could tell she was trying hard to keep herself in check. it felt nice to finally have someone to vent, once she couldn't ever with her sisters..
"i just don't know... i justβ i'm sorry i'm keeping you awake. i know you're probably tired.. you, you can leaveβ"
