BEGGING FOR HER FORGIVENESS

Astrid eyes fluttered open for the tenth time, she hadn't been able to have a good sleep ever since her crash out. She checked the time to see it was 4 am already.

She glanced to her side to see Maren sleeping peacefully, she slowly pulled her hands out of Maren's grasp, careful not to disturb her friend's peaceful slumber. 

As she swung her legs over the side of the bed, Maren stirred, her eyes fluttering open.

Astrid smiled softly and whispered, "Go back to sleep, I am just getting some water."

Maren nodded and her eyes drifted shut again, Astrid patted her hair softly with a small smile at how she had planned to stay by her side the whole night. 

Astrid slowly stood up, padding softly out of the bedroom.

The living room was dimly lit, with only the faint glow of the city lights outside illuminating the space.
