Where does that damn light come from? I just want to sleep.

I moan and open my eyes. Great, not only the light is switched on, also the sun is shining brightly into the room. I roll to the side and stare exactly into a pair of deep blue eyes.

"Morning, princess", I say and yawn. Her eyes widen a bit and she looks at me surprised. Why is she surprised? I called her princess I don't know how many times last night.

"Did you sleep well after everything?", I ask and she furrows her eyebrows in confusion, then she nods. Why won't she talk to me?

I sit up and run my hand through my messy hair. She points at the lamp and then at me, as if she wants to ask why the light's on and why I'm sitting in her bed. "I fell asleep next to you, I was so exhausted after everything, I'm sorry, I hope you don't mind", I smile. She raises her eyebrows a bit and looks around, still confused.

Wait. Does that mean..

"You fell asleep while watching TV.." Let's try it this way. She nods understanding and sits up.

She can't remember. She seriously can't remember.

She stands up and looks into the mirror, then she wrinkles her nose, grabs some new cloths and leaves the room.

She can't just forget everything that happened last night. She told me so much. I promised her I'll take care of her. She told me I'm important to her. She talked to me.

Dammit. I thought it will stay like that.

This is a nightmare. A total nightmare. Not only that there's a creep haunting her, now she can't even remember that she told me about him. And it probably was the first and last time she talked to me.

I sigh and stand up and look for my backpack. It's still in the living room I guess. I moan and walk downstairs.

After I got it I wait for Ariana to come back into her room. When she hasn't returned after five minutes I decide to lock the door for a second and change.

Ten more minutes pass until she finally comes back with wet hair and new cloths. "I'll use the bathroom now, okay?", I say and leave the room. I really need to shower but it'd be weird if I shower here. I'll just go home later and take a shower there, it's not like it's hours away.

I brush my teeth and style my hair, then I walk back into her room. Ariana's no where to be seen so I walk downstairs.

Where does that smell come from? Most likely from the kitchen.

I enter the kitchen and find Ariana making some pancakes. "Are they for me?", I smile and grab a plate. She points over at two mugs and looks at me questioning. "I'd go with some coffee, if that's okay?", I say and she nods. "You too?", she nods again and I make some coffee after she showed me how.

I could get used to wake up like this every morning. Wait, what? Where do that thoughts even come from?

I sigh and Ariana turns around. "It's nothing", I mumble and help her putting the pancakes on our plates.

That deal really did something to me, I even jerk away when our hands touch. Ariana also seems to notice because she uncomfortably shifts on her feet.
