Chapter 4

I am covered up with a big fuzzy blanket. I tried sitting up but something is holding me down. Katie's arm is wrapped around me and she pulled me close. Her breathing is tickling my neck but it feels so nice to be this close to her.

Her bedroom is painted white with daisies all around. Her bed is a king bed that somehow managed to fit both of us. Her desk is covered with papers. In the corner of her room, a guitar and ukulele are resting near a netted chair.

"Morning sweetie."

"Morning Katie."

"How are you feeling?"

"Fine. Why?"

"Well," She sat up and started to play with my hair, "you passed out last night after going to the washroom."

Oh no. Sometimes after I puke too much food out, I will pass out and won't wake up till the morning.

"Oh. I guess I didn't drink enough water yesterday."

"Mmh."

She didn't sound convinced. She kept playing with my hair. I shut my eyes and enjoyed this moment together, because who knows when I will get close to her again.

"I have to get up. I'm super hungry. You want anything?"

"No, I'm good."

"Ok. Try and get some sleep. I'll be out in the living room."

Wait?! She is letting me sleep in her bed?!

"O-Ok."

She got up and walked to the door.

"I really liked sleeping with you."

My cheeks are as red as a tomato. Even though I can't see them, I can feel them.

I got more comfortable and started to fall asleep. I rolled over and squished something.

Under my side are 2 rough, old looking stuffies. There are sewn together. One is a polar bear with dark brown eyes and the other is a raccoon with black eyes.

I smiled and snuggled with them. For some reason, it feels normal to be laying in her bed snuggling with her things.

Katie's P.O.V(Last Night)

"HEY! WHAT'S TAKING YOU SO LONG?"

She didn't answer. So I got up and walked to the bathroom door. It's been 20 minutes since she went to the washroom. It usually doesn't take her that long unless she's having a shower or taking a dump.

"You ok in there?"

Nothing. I lightly knocked and still nothing. Luckily for me, the door is open.

There she is, lying on the ground unconscious.

"Maria."

I quickly rushed to her side. She is still breathing.

I picked her up and carried her to my bed. She looked so pale and the side of her face is wet, almost like she was crying.

My bed is already unmade so I could easily slide into bed after the movie. My plan was to play the movie for her, both of us would cry and I would be there to make her smile again.

I carefully placed her onto the bed, got her into her pj's and got into mine. I took the side further away from the wall, so you wouldn't fall off and get hurt.

Just before I closed my eyes, I saw a tear slide down her face. In a second, without any thought, I pulled her close and wrapped my arm around her.

Next Afternoon

"Afternoon sunshine."

She rolled over and rubbed her eyes.

"How long have I been asleep for?"

"6 hours."

"6!'

"And I see you got comfy with Marshmellow and Oreo."

She blushed and quickly pushed them to the side.

"That's ok, as long as you had a good sleep."

"I did."

"What do you want to eat?"

"Umm...a bowl of cherries."

"No. I'm making us a big, delicious supper. After we can redo our movie night."

She nodded her head and slowly sat up. I slide beside her and helped her get out of bed.

"Thanks, Katie."

"Anything for a friend."

Why did I say that? Now she will think I'm friend zoning her. Great, she may never be mine.
