Sylvie up here ^

*BEEP BEEP BEEP*

???: RISE AND SHINE SLEEPYHEAD!

Artie: *in head* ugh, everyday she does this.... and it doesn't get less annoying

i slowly opened my eyes and looked at my tormentor, she had her hands on her hips and a shit eating grin on her face, her brown hair cascading down her shoulders and her blue eyes looking at me with glee. she definitely enjoys waking me up like this. oh yeah, i haven't introduced her yet, this gorgeous pain in the ass is Sylvie Williams, she's my best friend since childhood, her mother's actually my godmother, that's why she took me in when my parents died, and now without fail, this girl decides to wake me up like this everyday

Sylvie: why do you always love to sleep?

Artie: sleep is like the trail period for death, that's why i like coming back to it

the smile drops from her face, i didn't hear anything else as she walked around and got on my bed, wrapping her arms around my body

Sylvie:  what's your radio playing?

i tune her out and listen to the voices singing in my head

Artie: sub urban, cradles...

she nods and hugs me tighter, resting her face on the crook of my neck

Sylvie: maybe we can stay here for a bit, mom's still hogging the shower

Artie: you finished showering, sunny?

Silvie: yep, gotta make sure i'm nice and clean before i wake you up

Artie: you do know i have an alarm clock right?

Silvie: yeah.... but i don't care, i love waking you up, plus...

Artie: yeah, i know, i get it

Silvie: i didn't mean anything by it lovey, i just worry about you

Artie: i know sunny, how about we go for breafast while auntie's still in the shower?

Silvie: oh yeah? you cooking?

Artie: how much time till we go to school?

Sylvie: about... *looks at phone* 30 minutes

Artie: i think i can work with that, eggs and bacon?

Sylvie: *smiles* you read my mind lovey, race you to the kitchen!

she gets up and runs out of my room, i chuckle to myself

Artie: *sigh* i love you...

i reach for the unopened bottle of pills underneath my bedside table, far away from any prying eyes and look at it, before smiling slightly and placing it bck in its hiding place

Artie: guess not today old friend

-school-

Artie: did i mention how much i hate school?

Curt: *chuckles* yes, art you did

Sylvie: what's your radio playing now?

Artie: juice WRLD, graduation 

Sylvie: ohh, good choice

Curt: i haven't heard of that, any of you got it?

Sylvie: *nods* here

as she shows curt the song lemme introduce him, this is curt he's like our third best friend, he's been hanging with us since his family moved in about five years ago. he has a huge crush on Sylvie, i mean so do i but i don't let it show. you might be thinking, maybe i'm just keeping it to myself cuz i don't know if Sylvie isn't straight but i know for a fact that she's pansexual, because she told me, i don't tell her because she deserves better than someone better than little old suicidal me, maybe curt'll be the one that helps her
