Shut In

EMMA

~

I was trying to get some sleep here, but the unchanging theme I heard ringing against my ears was not helping. I groaned in frustration covering the blanket more against my form, exams were finally over and I could get all the sleep I wanted. I can just stay in my room until the next term if I like, so LET ME GET SOME SLEEP.

But that pesky sound was not helping and was that my phone? it's gotta be because I turned off my alarm clock, I tapped on my bed with my eyes still crammed shut, I found the smooth texture of my phone and grabbed it, bringing it to my ear.

"Hello?"

"Hey baby"

I froze. "Mom?"

"Yes sweetie it's me, why does your voice sound that way, are you still in bed? It's 2 pm"

I groaned.

'"Honey, are you sick or something?"

"No, I'm not"

Just heartbroken.

"Are you sure? You don't sound so good" her tone of worry now.

"Really mom I'm fine"
