Wait for the right time

Chapter 4

The next day I wake up to Noah shaking me gently.

"Morning." I say rubbing my eyes. "It's not morning, sky. It's 3pm." He says laughing. "Oh. Well what did you do all day?" I ask sitting up. He sits beside me and says. "Just watched Tiktok and stuff."

I get up and close the blinds because the sun was blinding me. I'm assuming I was tired I because of watching Harry Potter until three in the morning.

I grab my phone and see many notifications saying things like

I smile to myself as I open Tiktok. Noah sees me smiling at my phone and asks "what's got you smiling?" "Well yesterday I downloaded that app Tiktok you were talking about and look." I say handing him my phone. His mouth opens in shock and he hands my phone back to me.

"It's literally a video of me lip synching. How does that blow up?" I ask shocked. "I don't know it's really crazy." He smiles. "Well wanna do something?" He asks. "Ya. Sleep." I say and laugh. "How are you so tired?" He asks laughing. "I don't know i just am." I say getting under the covers.

"Well I'll leave you to it then." He says about to leave the room. "Stay with me?" I ask. He nods and lays down on the bed. We both look at the ceiling.

"Isn't it crazy?" I ask. He looks at me and asks. "What?" "How we met at our local Starbucks because we were thirsty and now here we are. Two best friends." I say smiling. "Ya. Do you think about that a lot?" He asks. I nod and say. "I think about a lot of things. I like to observe." I say sitting up. "I've noticed that about you." He says.

"Well I've noticed that you don't like reading." I say looking at Noah. "And I noticed that you do." He says looking at me. We both look at each other and laugh. It was nice having a best friend.

I lay back down and let my thoughts drift me to sleep.

I wake up in the middle of the night to see Noah asleep beside me. I go downstairs to get a glass of water. I sit at the kitchen island and think about everything. I like to keep everything very organized, including my thoughts.

I sit there for a while smiling to myself. Then I finish my water and make a hot chocolate. I sit back down while the hot chocolate is brewing and wait for it to finish. Then I hear Noah come down the stairs.

"Why are you up so late?" Noah asks sitting across from me. "Thinking" I say getting up to put cream in my hot chocolate. "You know, you should get a journal or something." Noah says. "You think so?" I ask sitting down with my hot chocolate. "I think it would be good for you." Noah says smiling. "I'll pick one up tomorrow if I remember." I say.

I finish my hot chocolate while talking with Noah. After I was done I put the mug in the sink and we both walked back upstairs. We both lay in bed and talk for a while. It was nice having him around Because I'm usually all alone because of all the work trips my mom goes on.

Everything goes silent for a while and I notice that Noah is asleep. I close my eyes, and let my thoughts drift me to sleep.
