I do not own Twilight.
Sunlight filtered through my parted curtains as I tried to snuggle deeper into my covers. The smell of vanilla and cinnamon mixed with the sweet aroma of maple bacon wafted into my room as I entered into the peaceful world that bordered sleep and awake.
"Starlight, time to get up darlin'." My mom called as she entered my room, filling it with the scent of lavender and lemons that seemed to linger around her. I groaned lightly before I turned to look at her, taking in her brownie batter curls that were pinned to her head, a few stray curls framed a pale face while bangs fell just above bright green eyes. She was still wearing her pink work scrubs and badge that proclaimed 'Emerald Lily Neonatal Care'.
"How was work?" I yawned as I stood up and stretched, sighing as my back popped. She smiled tiredly before she walked into my room and opened my purple curtains all the way, allowing the sunlight to enter my room full force.
"Three babies were born. Two girls and a boy." She replied before she came over and kissed my forehead.
"Breakfast is ready." She announced before she turned and left me to get dressed.
"Time to take on the world." I spoke to my reflection as I took in my appearance. My mixture of blonde curly hair tumbled down my shoulder and back and fell just below my waist, and curtain a face that wasn't to pale but could use some sun and bright green eyes. My slender form was hidden beneath an ultra-comfy purple tee that proclaimed 'Well Behaved Women Seldom Make History' in bold white letters, that I'd paired with my ripped blue jeans and white sandals. I decided that I didn't much care for style today, opting for throwing my hair into a messy pony tail and only wearing a coat of clear lip-gloss.
"Smells great." I greeted my mom as I sat down at the blue wooden table, taking in the smell of fresh lavender that mom kept in a small vase at the center of the table.
"Well thank you. Are you working today after school?" She asked as she tried to keep her eyes from drooping. I felt sorry for her in the mornings, since it was because of me that she stayed up instead of just coming home and going straight to bed as I've asked her to do on several occasions. Bags were beginning to form under her eyes and she was heavily resting her head on her left hand.
"No, it's my day off but I might go for a run in the woods. I've been feeling a bit restless these past few days." I explained as I took a large bite of powdered sugar vanilla pancakes and strawberries. Her eyes grew wide and she sat up quickly.
"Oh my gosh, I forgot! I'm so sorry Star." She gasped as her eyes began to swim. She often got like that when I mentioned begin restless because she thought of my dad. Before he died, he made sure I got plenty of exercise and rest before the full moon, but he'd died a few years ago so now it was just my mom and I.
"It's fine, don't worry." I laughed as I quickly finished my breakfast. She seemed to relax a bit at my words and gave me a tired smile.
"I suppose you better go before you're late for school. I love you." She finished before I stood up from the table and kissed her cheeks.
"Love you to momma. See you later." I finished before I put my dishes in the dish washer, grabbed my bag and keys, and headed out the door.
