{Gerard's POV}

I looked in the mirror.

I looked like shit.

That's how I usually looked in the morning though.

Transformation time.

I should really do before and after pictures some time.

I turned the shower on and hopped in.

Taking a deep breath, I just let the water wash over my face.

It was the same routine every day.

Sometimes it felt like my life had no meaning.

Okay, I know I was only fifteen but whatever.

After I had washed my body and hair, I grabbed a towel and wandered into my room.

My brother and mum were still in bed.

I usually woke up early.

I never intended to. It just happened.

Every day around quarter to seven.

Always the same time.

It was like I had an alarm clock in my head.

Not sure why it was always that time.

Also, surely I would be trying to get as much sleep as I could since I usually didn't fall asleep until about one in the morning.

Apparently not.

I sat on my bed and sighed.

I sighed a lot.

Not sure why and I guess I didn't need a reason to anymore.

I just did.

I checked the time on my phone.

It was nearly seven.

I guess one of the advantages of getting up early is long showers.

I did like my long showers.

When my phone buzzed, it made me jump.

I was just drifting off with my head against the wall by my bed.

I blinked and rubbed my eyes.

"Heyyy honey! You up yet? Xxx"

Text from Taylor as per usual.

She always messaged me in the morning.

I sent a quick text back and then got up.

"Of course I am. I always am xxx"

I was getting cold with just a towel wrapped around my waist.

My hair was still dripping wet too.

I grabbed my school trousers and underwear.

Shoving them on, I heard my phone go off again.

I looked at it before putting on my shirt.
