Stranger

I woke up with Ace licking my face.

“Good morning to you too.” I told him.

I took the sleeping pills last night. I actually managed to get a good amount of sleep. After Beck fell asleep around quarter past twelve, I decided to take the sleeping pills. A few minutes later, my head was empty and sleep consumed me. Wait. Beck. I turned to my right to see space by me that Beck slept in last night, empty. Maybe he left earlier. I got up from my bed and grabbed my crutches by the bed, then I made my way downstairs for breakfast.

As I walked down I could smell hash browns and sausages. Ace waited for me at the bottom of the steps. Making sure I was safe. He’s been doing that a lot lately. Once I managed to get downstairs, Ace started running to the kitchen and I followed behind. The first face I saw was Dad’s.

“Morning sweetie.”

“Morning.” I replied. I went over to where Finn was and sat next to him. Finn had a concerning grin on his face.
