I know it's a little short and the ending may be in an odd place but I wrote this in about 30 mins so enjoy :)

The sun was glaring down from the middle of the sky, when Aelin's eyes flitted open, too early for the night she'd just had. She squinted in the midday sun and went to turn her head away from the window but stopped when a persistent pounding started in
/her head.

"Ow" Aelin exclaimed, sinking her head further into the pillow to make the pain go away. She attempted to reach over to the widow without moving from the bed, but gave up after a half-assed attempt to get some more sleep.

Keeping her eyes firmly shut, she began to sit up slowly, moving only inches at a time to keep the throbbing in her head at a minimum. She wrapped the duvet around her so only her eyes and mouth were showing and headed out of her room to find some food.

As soon as she opened the door to her room, Fleetfoot came rushing from his bed, in the lounge room to come greet her.

"Hello my fluffy, little, baby" she cooed, rubbing his ears as he jumped around excitedly at her feet. "Have you been a good boy?"

Fleetfoot wagged his tail in response and followed Aelin as she shuffled into the kitchen.

Once she'd had her dose of water and Advil, she began to gather some ingredients to make herself some delicious chocolate pancakes. It wasn't until she heard the ring of her phone, that she realised she had promised her best friend she would call in the
/morning.

After making sure nothing would burn while she was gone, she raced off to catch the call before it ended.

"Hello?" she asked, not bothering to look at the caller ID.

"You promised you would call!" Saidthe whiny, insistent and very loud voice from the other end.

Wincing, Aelin replied "I know, I'm sorry Lysandra. I only got up a few minutes ago."

There was a slight pause before she answered. "How bad are you?" She sounded smug.

"Pretty fucking terrible."

Lysandra laughed and Aelin had to take the phone away from her ear so her brain wouldn't explode from the noise.

"Yeah I should have listened to you. Those last couple of drinks were probably over doing it a little."

"A little?" Lysandra remarked. "I'm pretty sure you had about 7 different drinks in the space of half an hour. I'm not sure how you're still alive after that."

Aelin groaned "I guess I got carried away. But you can't blame me, not after that fight with Rowan. I was so mad at him for leaving, I suppose I just let loose."

"You let loose alright" She laughed again. "But I doubt Rowan is mad at you anymore. Not after all the messages you sent him after he left."

Aelin froze. "What messages?" She asked carefully, not quite sure what Lysandra was talking about, but scared to know the truth.

"You know, the messages you sent him to apologize and explain how you felt about him." Lysandra sounded confused. "Wait, don't tell me you don't remember that?"

Aelin's silence was answer enough. "Aww shit." Lysandra exclaimed.

"I have to call you back." Aelin pressed the end call button before her friend could respond and went immediately to look at her messages from the night before. Surely, she wasn't that stupid as to tell Rowan how she felt about him over text. They hadonly
been seeing each other for a week.

But sure enough, she found her conversation with Rowan and saw the dozens of messages she had sent him the night before. Aelin groaned as she read them all back, feeling humiliated at how sappy she sounded.

There was no reply from him and her humiliation grew ever worse. There was no way she was going to message him again, it would look stupid after all the other messages she sent him, like it was a one-way conversation that she couldn't get out of.

She slowly made her way back to the kitchen to finish cooking her pancakes, trying not to think about how embarrassed she was, but her brain wouldn't listen.

What if he doesn't feel the same way? Her brain asked. Aelin grew more humiliated at the thought.

What if he was only dating you for your looks and as soon as he found out how you felt he bolted? Aelin almost growled at the thought.

She couldn't hold herself together. Aelin sat down to eat and hoped the chocolate would soothe all her worries away when she heard a knock at the door.

Not in the mood for visitors she yelled "go away" to the door and continued eating.

"You're not going to get rid of me that easily." Came a husky male voice.

Aelin almost dropped her plate. Rowan was here? Why would he come if he just wanted to tell her he was leaving her?

She grew panicked and washed her hands thoroughly before making her way, slowly to the front door.

A thousand thoughts whirled around her head but she wasn't concentrating on any as she opened the door slowly to meet him.

"Rowan, I can explain-" She tried to say before she was cut off by a set of lips crushing hers.

It took her a few seconds to realise what was going on, but when her pessimistic brain realised he wasn't mad, or leaving, she gave in.
