Trucy opened her eyes for a split second but could barely keep them open and closed them instantly. After a few minutes, she was able to keep her eyes open and turned to look at the time from the clock on the brown nightstand next to her. The green numbers read 12:37. It was the dead of night. Trucy moaned and turned herself to the side when she realized something was missing. It took her a few minutes to realize what, or rather who it was. Pearl wasn't in the bed.
The two had decided to get a place together while they went to college. It was a small place but it did its job. The two had recently gotten all the furniture set up and most of the pictures on the wall, most of which were Trucy and Pearl together. But ever since they had moved, Trucy couldn't sleep through the night, and she always ends up waking up in the middle of the night after having a nightmare. But tonight was different. She usually would wake up after a nightmare of some sort, but tonight she dreamed about the events of the day before. She sat silently for a moment as she reflected on it.
