Martijn POV

I can't stop thinking about her.... It's 3 am and I can't fall asleep just because I want her to lay next to me and say all that stupid little jokes that I hate, but I actually love.

At this point, you might be thinking that I am in love with her.

Wrong.

Or maybe true.

The fact is that I have no idea of what this feeling I have towards her is. I'm not sure if this is love or just a deep sexual attraction.

I care about Miné more than I do with me, but.... I don't know.

The only thing I can tell you is that I miss her, so much.

Since I just can't fall asleep, I get up from the bed and head to the little terrace that my hotel room has.

As I open the glass doors, I immediately feel Vegas' dark night's cold.

So I put on a pair of jeans and a hoodie to keep my body warm and step outside on the terrace, partially leaving the glass door open to be able to get back in later.

I sit on the soft couch and look at the never sleeping city's skyline.

I think I lost the count of how many times I have been here with Charelle, looking outside as I'm doing right now.

I am still thinking about her, I would lie to you if I told the opposite. After all, we have been a couple for more than two years. It's not that easy to forget something this special.

Being with Miné helped a lot, but now that I don't have her here, sadness is more prominent than the past days.

At this point, I am considering to ask Miné to chat a little, but what if she's studying or working? Or maybe she is just not in the mood for it.

So I decide to lay down on the couch and watch the sky, partially hidden by light pollution that almost every city produces.

It's cold out here, but still I prefer this temperature over my hot room's one.

I hope that it won't get too cold with the half open door.

I wonder if I have a beer in my fridge.... I really want one, even if my personal trainer doesn't want me to drink alcohol.

I decided to go on a no-alcohol and junk food diet for a few weeks to improve my health for ADE. It will be stressful and eating habits are always helping me to keep up with my life.

So no beer for me.
I have to be healthy.

One thing I always wanted to do is to ask Chris how he is able to maintain his slim physique while studying.

Gym, of course. But where does he find the time to do that?

'Maybe you should get up and go to the gym right now, silly'
I tell myself.

Too bad that it's 3:30 am. And gym is definitely not open at 3:30 am!

Since I'm bored, the only thing I can do is to play a few games on my phone and maybe post something on Instagram, nothing much.

[...]

It's almost 5 am when I wake up and realize that I fell asleep outside of my bed. I'm super cold and my stomach hurts.

Oh nooooo!
I have a show tonight!

I get up and slowly walk to the door, entering my room and then into the bathroom.

I think that I need to throw up....

In fact, it's exactly what I do after a few minutes. I'm definitely not used to this, and I'm not a big fan of hugging the toilet..... I don't think that anybody loves to do that.

Luckily I don't have to clean up anything, because I can't stand it.....

I just sit on the floor and rest for some minutes, even if the smell in here isn't the best at the moment.

I open the bathroom window and go out, sitting on the bed afterwards. I literally have no energy left.

So I just lay down onto my bed and drift off to sleep.

.....

Later that morning

Minerva POV

I'm trying to study for my next exam, but my arm is always a bit in the way, both phisically and mentally. It hurts and I feel a constant tickling sensation coming from the rough bandages.

Uhhhh I hate my life

Thank God that this will be off of my elbow tomorrow! Aaahhh!

I decide to quit studying for today and head to the living room to watch TV.

Turns out that Chris is there too. Better this way, I like his company. He basically lives here now since I had the car accident and I don't mind it at all. He's always sweet with his girlfriend and with me too, he's funny and helps us at cooking, doing the laundry and cleaning the house too.

"hey Chris!" I greet him sitting on the sofa next to him.

"hey! No more studying?"

"No, I'm tired. What's on TV?!" I ask him.

"nothing much actually, there are always the same movies and TV shows"

"Uff, stupid Dutch TV....."

Chris giggles and gently rubs my bandaged arm, asking
"Christy told me that you need to go back to the hospital tomorrow"

"Yes I do, finally!"

"Do you need a lift?"

"Oh don't worry, I will just call an Uber"

He scrolls his head.

"I don't have lessons tomorrow, I can come with you"

"Oh! Wow, thank you so much!"

"No problem. At what time do we have to be there?"

"Oh, anytime is good. I have to go to the first aid, so..."

He nods.

"Christy has an 8:30 lesson.... Heheheee! We'll just stay in bed until 11.30 AM and send a pic"

"You are the personification of cruelty.... Your girlfriend will kick you out of her life"

"Mh..... 9:30 won't get her mad...." he assumes.

"She will, trust me!"
