I roll over and focus on my clock. 7:04 a.m. I wish I could just go back to sleep forever. I wouldn't have to deal with anything.

Sitting up, I kick my feet over the side of my bed and grab my phone from the side table.

Lol ok

I stand and shove the phone into my pocket. When I get down stairs, I decide just to have a bowl of cereal. The bowl of cereal is only half way finished before I hear a knock on my door. Too lazy to stand up, I call from the couch, "Come in."

"Hi. What are you doing?"

"Still eating because you decided to come over as soon as I woke up," I mock sarcastically.

"Someone's salty," he laughs, sitting on the opposite end of the couch. "What's up?"

"Nothing really. I slept a little better, but I'm still tired. And depressed, of course," I chuckle, shoving cereal into my mouth.

"Well, what do you want to do today?"

"I don't know. I feel like we do something everyday. Can't I just be lazy today?"

"Sounds good to me," Josh replies. "I didn't sleep very long last night, anyway. I'd appreciate a nap."

"If you were just gonna sleep, why'd you come over?"

"I don't know. To keep you company."

I almost choke on my food, not really sure why. That just triggered something in my brain. Seeing that there's hardly any cereal left, I decide to just put the bowl in the sink. I come back into the living room and sit back down on the couch.

I ask, "Why didn't you sleep very long?"

"Playing drums. I just kind of wanted to for no reason really."

"No reason?" I raise my eyebrows. "Are you sure you weren't trying to learn the drum part to a popular song at 2:00 a.m. like you always do?" I smile.

"Shut up," Josh chuckles. "So what have you been doing?"

"Nothing, really," I shrug. "There's nothing much to do."

"I guess. Have you been holding up alright?"

"Josh, you were here the day before yesterday. Quit acting like you haven't talked to me in 3 months."

"Okay, sorry," he frowns. "You seem really upset today. Is something wrong?"

"No," I reply honestly. "I don't know what's wrong with me. Sorry."

._._.

I feel myself jump as I wake up, hot and sweaty. The clock tells me it's 2 a.m. That would make sense.

I throw off my blanket, turning onto my side. Another dream about Jenna.

It's not the typical dream that you might have about an ex, maybe wanting them back. I had a nightmare where her lawyer turned into a demon and chased me through a forest with a knife.

Why am I so crazy?

I try falling back to sleep for 30 minutes to no avail. Sitting up, I look across the room to my wall. For a second, I think I see a figure there. I wipe my eyes, the person, or whatever it was, disappearing completely.

It seems like a good idea to get online for a while. I have nothing better to do.

I scroll twitter and instagram, nothing really mattering. I check some snapchat. It's really nothing. No social network has anything important.

A metaphor for my life.

I set my phone back down on my side table and lay down. Maybe I'll fall asleep eventually.

._._.

I wake up to the familiar sound of my phone buzzing violently. Repeatedly. Not a call, a ton of texts.

I sigh aloud and grab my phone.
