The big day

Carissa wakes up feeling groggy today, more tired than most days if you may say. Feeling the warmth of a body behind her she jolts awake. Waking the boy sleeping beside her. It all comes back to her know and she feels ashamed. She always had to look vulnerable in front of people and she didn’t like that but it always ended up happening no matter what.

‘You’re awake’ he says his voice hoarse and scrappy from the fact that he was sleeping. ‘Yeah’ she says timidly looking down. ‘I’m sorry that you had to bear witness to what happened yesterday’ she says to him feeling embarrassed. ‘Oh, no it’s really not a problem’ he says cracking a smile to make the situation less awkward.
