Gaara didn't bother logging out, he wasn't getting any sleep any time soon and she might log back on once her dad was asleep again. The code word shone out of the screen at him 'GTGDA!' which stood for 'Got To Go Dad Alert!'. It was the code word she'd had to teach him once their on-line chats had started to go on for longer, which was about the same time his insomnia got worse.
They'd met on an on-line chat room last year and they'd been messaging constantly since then. At first it had just been someone he didn't know and would probably never meet who he could talk to, but as the months had gone by he'd logged on anyway, even when there wasn't anything he had to talk about, which is when she'd started to tell him things, things that you'd normally only tell your closest friend, he'd guessed that she'd felt the same way about the on-line chat room, someone to talk to who couldn't judge your appearance or be uncomfortable because they knew you. Now they just found themselves logging on for no real reason, just to chat.
After another hour or two of waiting, Gaara logged off and switched the computer off, pulling off his shirt and flicking the light off as he made his way over to his bed. May as well try and get some sleep.
As soon as Kaida had the computer off she dived under the covers, just about remembering to turn her light off before there was the familiar click of her bedroom door opening, the hall way light flooding the room. Her father grunted and slammed the door shut as he left, as drunk as he was, she was lucky he hadn't smacked her awake and accused her of something stupid.
Reluctant to even move yet, she rolled so she was facing away from the door and reached under her bed, pulling out a small red teddy and cuddling it to her chest, closing her eyes tight, floating of into her own little world and before she knew it, it was morning, her alarm clock was blaring down her ears, she rolled over and brought her hand half-heartedly down on the snooze button, before curling back up under the duvet.
The alarm had rung five times in what felt like twelve seconds, Kaida rolled over and checked the time, wondering if she had time for a lie in, it took her a moment for her fatigued brain to register the green digits glowing at her mockingly. 7:13. Kaida shot up in shock, swearing as her head collided his the shelf above her bed. She only had an forty-seven minuets until the coach got here.
