Skye jolted awake from a nightmare. She hadn't had one of those in a while. She looked around her room to see that it was still dark outside.
'Wait, this isn't my room. This is the living room. Why'd I fall asleep on the couch?' She went to get up, but she felt a familiar hand stroking her head. She then noticed that her head was on someone's lap. She flipped over, so she was on her back.
"Hey Lex."
"You ok. You were mumbling."
"Stabbed my sister."
"You haven't had a nightmare in a while."
"Yeah, I know. It's kind of weird. I guess they were bound to happen every once in a while though."
"I guess. As long as you're ok."
"I should be. What time is it?"
"10pm."
"Well my sleeping schedule is fucked."
Alexis laughed and then leaned her head down to kiss Skye, but her eyes sockets became empty and started bleeding.
"ALEXIS!" Skye bolted up from her nightmare.
"You ok?" She heard a knocking at her door and then Chazz entered.
"Oh, uh yeah. Bad dream. Did I wake you?"
"No, I was just about to leave when I heard you."
"What are you doing in my wing? Checking on me?" Skye teased.
"Yeah. Of course."
Skye dropped her smile. And then regained a more heart touched one. She threw the blankets off of her, walked over to Chazz and hugged him. He accepted.
"Skye. I love you and all, but I have to go."
"Right. Sorry. Have fun."
"As if." Chazz sighed and left her room.
Skye hopped on her bed and opened up her window. She was facing the left side of the mansion, but it was close enough to the front that she could hear the conversation between Chazz and his chauffeur. Poor Gwen had to get up earlier too because of Chazz's brothers. Skye felt her head get hot, and let the almost dawn wind cool her down.
Skye didn't move until she couldn't hear the limo anymore, and then she hopped down and went to check on Jaden.
She opened his door, he was deep asleep and sprawled all across the bed, with the blankets not even attempting to cover his bare legs, everything up, besides his head was covered. Skye face palmed, straightened the blankets to cover his legs, realized why she had slept in her wing last night, and then saw a note.
Skye,
Wake me up before you go to leave to see Alexis.
-J.
Skye smiled, kissed his forehead, and went back to her wing to shower.
