Twenty-one (August 5th 1994)

Rebecca Pov

So it was the summer holidays again, as there actually wasn't a lot going on the last school year, it had pretty much stayed the same, (and I don't want to yap at ya for the sake of yapping), sorry that there wasn't anything juicy during the year.

It was like 3 O'clock in the morning, I was wide awake with about a million different things swirling around in my head, but never quite being able to pinpoint a single thing, (though that was normal for teenage me), when I heard a 'dink' against my bedroom window, so naturally I went to see what it was, (because my curiosity always got the better of me and it genuinely could get me killed one day).

"Levi!, what the hell?!"
"I, uh, I have something that I wanted to talk to you about!"
"It couldn't wait until it isn't stupid O'clock in the morning!"
"Nah!, I'd chicken out of it if I waited until a reasonable time to ask!"
"Alright!, let me go down to you though!, alright?!"
"Alright!, Sorry!"
"It's alright you twat!"

So I went downstairs to the front garden, as Levi was there, and I didn't want to accidentally wake up the entire house, even though that's actually impossible as they're all heavy sleepers, (well it's probably more towards highly improbable rather than impossible), but I still wasn't comfortable with yelling down to Levi while they're sleeping, (yes that is weird, so fucking sue me Susan).

"Hey you, what was so important that you'd chicken out at a reasonable time?"
"I, uh, I wanted to ask you something- you can totally say no and I would totally get it if you did say no-"
"Levi, if it's about going out with you, I would love to"
"How did you know?!-"
"Shh, you're blushing, which is kinda cute, and you're rambling, which isn't something that you normally do unless you're nervous, you're not normally nervous around me, so..."
"Oh, I didn't think that anyone else took notice of my quirks"
"Well I do"

It would've been awkward and weird had I been wrong, but I wasn't, it was kind of romantic in like a slightly awkward way, (though it made sense considering that Levi and I were quite awkward teenagers), my insides felt like they were emitting light like a goddamn Christmas tree on steroids.

"Bex, do you, uh, do you want to go on a date later?"
"Yeah, is 2 O'clock alright for you?"
"Yeah, that's perfect, I'll come get you then"
"Alright so, I'll see you then"

Levi went home and I went back to bed, not because I would sleep mind you, but because I actually found my bed comfortable and that was a novelty for me still, (maybe it was to do with the fact that I don't sleep well), I think that I read a book but honestly I have no idea what book it was.

Dad woke up a couple of hours later, as he liked being ready for work way before he had to be, (and I think that I picked that habit up from him because I'm now the same when I get ready for work), so naturally Dad came in to check on me, (as he normally did), it was nice honestly, (though maybe that came from not having caring parents before Rita kicked me out).

"Hey Dad"
"Sorry Baby, did I wake you?"
"No you didn't wake me, I couldn't sleep"
"Are you sure that you don't want to try medication for your sleep?"
"Yeah Dad, I'm sure, it's been tried before and it didn't work for me"
"Ok, let me know if you change your mind"
"Ok"

Dad went to continue getting ready for work, I continued to stay in bed, as I was comfortable, but I knew that I would still be up before Donte and Donavon, as they were typical teenagers and slept all day when they could.

Donte and Donavon didn't wake up until about 8 O'clock, (they were only up that early because we were going to Granbob's), though Donte looked suspicious of me being as happy as I was.

"What's got you all happy Becca?"
"A girl's not allowed to not look like a cat pissed in her cereal?"
"Not you, you're cranky when you don't sleep, which is most nights, so spill"
"What makes you think there's something?"
"You're literally grinning like the Cheshire Cat"
"Alright Mr Grumpy, Levi asked me out this morning-"
"At what time!-"
"Shut, up, it was 3 O'clock in the morning"
"Jesus Christ your lack of sleep is spreading man"
"(Snorts), Dude take a chill pill, he's quite literally taking in the milk delivery for Harry"
"Oh, that makes sense I suppose"
"I'm glad it does Sherlock"
