"Chloe, come downstairs. Your boyfriend Shawn is here." My mother yells. I groan and roll out of bed. Usually, my boyfriend coming over would excite me, but lately it felt like a chore to see him. I look at myself in the mirror. I'm a mess, but I don't care. I know Shawn, he'll still say I'm beautiful. I hurry down the stairs.

"Aww look at my sleepy girl, good morning baby" he says as I walk down the stairs.

"Mornin" I mumble. I am in no mood to see him today. Or any day for that matter. All my friends had boyfriends who were interesting, unlike mine. Shawn was nice, sure, but he wasn't dangerous like the other boys. Being with him felt like a routine at this point.

"Are you alright, Chloe? Something seems off with you today" Shawn says, following me into the kitchen. God, sometimes I wish he'd leave me alone.

"I'm fine Shawn. Trust me. Now don't you have to record in the studio or something?" I don't know why I was acting this way, but I was.

"Not till later baby, I thought we could go to breakfast or something."

"I'm not hungry, Shawn." I say as I walk up the stairs. Of course he follows.

"Oh okay. Well then we could do something else."

"Shawn, look I'm not in the mood today, so if you could, please just leave me alone." I say. He looks at me. I can tell he's upset.

"Well, okay. Then I guess I'll get going." He sounds defeated, but there's nothing I can do at this point.

"Good" I reply before slamming my door to go back to sleep. I hear the front door open and close. He's finally gone. I take out my phone and text my friend Maria.

"Shawn is being so annoying once again. God, sometimes I wish he was like your boyfriend." I text.

She doesn't respond right away, so she must be asleep. It is pretty early, only ten o'clock. I get tired of waiting for a reply so I go back to bed.
