you had been sleeping peacefully , a good dream maybe ? whatever it was , was over now . you wake up , thirsty and grumpy due to even being awake . looking over to the clock on your bedside .. 2:56 . you rolled your eyes as you slipped out your bed , lazily putting on some slippers at your bedside .
groggily you head downstairs , opening the fridge to grab the water filter . you set it aside and grabbed a glass ... nice , you got a nice cold glass of water - now get back to bed !
as you walk up the stairs you hear a small thud - it had to just be your brother .. then you remembered - you lived alone now , you moved out about two months ago . you hurry upstairs and stumbled over a box ;; you should really put that away ... no matter , you enter your room .
only thing out of place was the window , it was slightly open . you can't remember if it was like that before or not . you shrug it off and get back in bed , pulling the blanket up as you slowly drifted ... though you felt eyes on you . do you want to look and see ? or maybe hide under your covers like a child again ?
