Unlikely Friend

Oliviaʼs hands grazed the lacy curtains throughout the night as she was unable to sleep. She had fallen asleep at first but then all of a sudden, it began to evade her.

She sighed as she reached out for the camera phone Pete had gotten her earlier, she twiddled the phone in her hand contemplating. Should she or should she not? She wanted to call Sophie to see how things were going, but she nervously thought against it.

Just when she made her decision and started to punch her friends line on the phone. She heard a knock on the door, it was so soft that she thought she had imagined it.

Olivia stared at the door for a long while before taking her gaze off it. She heard it again, this time it was accompanied by Peteʼs voice.

"Morning Olivia, are you awake?"

"Morning Pete, Iʼm well

awake." She replied as she checked the screen of her phone to know what time it was, four thirty am, wasnʼt that too early for someone to be awake?
