I feel the bed shake next to me and it rise up. I open my eyes and see Cam climbing out of bed. "Where are you going?"
"I got to get home before Ma and dad notice I'm gone." He explains. I glance at the clock next to my bed which reads 5 am. "I'll see you in a couple hours, go back to sleep." He kisses my head and I lie back down, shutting my eyes. When I hear my window open and close I fall back to sleep.
I don't wake up to Theo's usual annoyingness. Instead I'm being lightly shaken awake by Grayson. When I open my eyes I see him sitting beside me with a bottle of water and Tylenol.
"I figured you would need this for your hangover." He tells me, I take note of the pounding in my head.
"How did you know?" I ask, grabbing the bottle from his hand.
"Let's just say you're not a quiet drunk." He laughs, kicking off his shoes.
"Does Theo-"
"No, even though you're a loud drunk he's an even heavier sleeper." He explains, getting comfy of my bed. I screw open the water and take a sip before taking the medicine. "Where is Cam?"
I look to him with a surprised look. What doesn't this child know? "Do you know everything?"
"I'm more observant than you think." He grins before letting out a yawn.
"He left earlier." I shake my head, regretting my decision when my brain starts to pound even harder.
Grayson leaves my room so I can get ready. I hazily stand up, wanting to curl back into bed and sleep the day away but I have school. I throw on some leggings and a hoodie. My curls were particularly crazy today so I put my hair into a bun.
I don't even attempt makeup, it would take too much energy. I grab my stuff and go into the kitchen where Theo is eating a frozen waffle, still frozen. I sit down next to him after grabbing a pop tart and prick my finger, checking my sugar.
"You look like shit." Theo mutters, taking another bite of his waffle. I roll my eyes and dramatically sniff.
"You smell like shit." I fire back, plugging my nose. Theo's smile drops and he lifts up his arm, sniffing his armpit. "Hey!"
