Narrator's pov

When we're tired, our body naturally starts to cave in. Our movements become more slow and we eventually disappear from our own minds
The raven hair girl had been strutting, fumbling and over thinking all night about the thought of even having her parents in the same room with her
She had some idea of why they wanted to speak to her but she didn't actually think her little lie would trigger them from half way across the country just to come yell at her
Yesterday in a run in with the photographers flashing at her the second she stepped out of the car, she might have spilled a bit and told them that she was quitting the movie business and the press ran with it like the torch at the Olympics
She had no idea why she said that but after it came out, she had a feeling it would piss her parents off and she expected a phone call
But to her surprise, they were flying out just to argue and Autumn had no idea how to feel about that
On one hand, she'll be seeing them after years but on the second hand. She'll be seeing them after years.
She had no idea how to feel but the warm body she laid on was just enough to make her worries disappear for a few hours
"Hmm" Autumn hummed as her eyes slowly fluttered open
The feeling of fingertips swirling around the strands of her hair while a few trickled down her smooth back, under her shirt
"Hi" A soft voice filled the girl's ear
Autumn titled her chin up to see that she was still intertwined with Kate's body, her arms were hooked around the girl's stomach while her chin rested on her collar bone, looking into her soft brown eyes
"Hi" Autumn giggled
To their surprise, neither of them moved a muscle. Both girl's laid with each other, hooking by heart and smiles
"How long was I out for?"
"Couple of hours" Kate smiled
The panic shot through Autumn's veins and her eyes widened before she peeled herself off the girl body, regretting the loss of warmth she let go off
The raven hair girl rubbed her eyes with the back of her palms as she slipped off the side of the bed. The brunette pushed herself up and pressed her back against the headboard, disappointed that the body that was once on top of her was now gone
"Shit. Did they leave?" Autumn groaned
"Oh.. About that" Kate mumbled, biting her lip nervously
"What? Did something happen?" Autumn asked
The brunette took in a deep breath, she didn't want to be the one to dissapoint Autumn. She could see in her eyes that she was hopeful of seeing her parents. Sure she was scared, but there was still that little girl inside her fill with excitement, waiting for her parents to come from work and scoop her up in their arms. It was written in her eyes and the way she acted.
Kate knew she was excited to see them despite everything. So the fact that they had let her down once again, crushed her heart with a stabbing pain
But someone had to break the news to her and it was better her than anyone else.
But the good news was, it was almost time for dinner so she'd see them in just a few minutes either way, but this time with a bit of sleep in her system
