chapter 16- that is not what I meant to do.

I sat down in my living room with a warm cup of coffee. To say I was exhausted was an understatement. I felt like I couldn't even move anymore.

It was Saturday evening. I could feel the stress seeping in. My boss praised me and my co-workers adored me, the only problem was that my body kept complaining. I was tired. So very, very, tired.

I needed something to distract me, to take my mind off work. Tomorrow was my day off. I wanted to do something. But unfortunately Celeste and Hazel were back in California, Malcolm left the country for yet another business meeting, and Sophia had to work tomorrow. Which only left one possible person.

My phone buzzed next to me. I picked it up and stared at the screen.

You have one new message

From : Danny

Ah, speak of the devil.

Hey, you free tomorrow?

My prayers have been answered!

Yep. Why? - Hazel

There's this awesome new carnival in town. Wanna go? -Danny

Sure. -Hazel.

Cool. I'll pick you up at five. And don't fall asleep this time. ;) -Danny

Or what? - Hazel

Or I'll dump a pail of cold water on your head. We clear? - Danny

Transparently - Hazel.

I set my phone back down and took a sip of my coffee when I realized....

Shit! Coffee has caffeine! I'll never fall asleep now. Way to go Hazel. I am an idiot.

I attempted to spit the coffee back out but failed miserably. I started coughing uncontrollably and Sophia came running down the stairs with a concerned expression on her face.

She was already in her pajamas and her hair was tied in a messy ponytail.

I held my hand up as if to say,

Give me a minute. I almost died there.

She shook her head and sat next to me. "You okay?" She said.

"Yeah. Fine. Just tired. I feel like I can't function properly anymore. I forgot that coffee has caffeine. "

I shook my head in disbelief and hugged my knees.

"You work too hard. Take a break sometimes. I know its hard because Harley and Celeste aren't here anymore and I'm always busy but still, you need to take some time for yourself once in a while."
