You sit up after waking up, it's 4:02 am you've had another nightmare about the day it happened, about the blood, about the quiet.
You get off of the couch and find your way to the bathroom, flicking on a light as you walk in. the old bulb that needs to be replaced; blinks on.
You walk to the mirror looking at yourself. Your skin looks jaundiced under the yellow glow of the light.
You turn on the tap putting it the coldest you can, the sink spits out a brown liquid before going clear.
You splash the water on your face, the cold stinging your skin.
You start getting ready for the day; doing your make-up, brushing your teeth, doing your hair, you get it.
You finally get out of the bathroom and head back to the couch.
You turn on the TV looking at it before actually putting something on, you pick the news because what's better to start the day with then the worst things that are happening.
Some stuff about a flood and a space thing. You're not really paying attention, I mean who likes listening to the news, it's just something you watch, not enjoy.
After too long Rowan finally walks out of his room, he looks disheveled; like a mangy fox. His hair is draped over his face.
He walks to the kitchen, after a moment he walks out with two cups of coffee.
He comes and sits next to you then hands you a red mug with coffee in it. “Cream and sugar just how ya like.” he exclaims, giving you a small smile.
“We need to go to the home depot today.” he says to himself or you it's hard to tell.
“I’m gonna go get dressed, you should too.” he states to you.
He stands up and heads to his room, you follow soon after grabbing a pair of light blue jeans and a Grey sweater from your bag.
You head to the bathroom.
on the way you grab a towel from the closet, it's no longer soft because of how old it is.
the bathroom light flickers when you turn it on.
you start running the shower, taking off your pajamas afterwards.
you head inside the shower, its warmth embracing you.
you grab a bit of rowans shampoo, rubbing it in your hair.
once you're done with the shampoo you grab some of rowans body wash, it smells of amber and mint.
you step out of the shower and get dressed.
you spray a cheap perfume, its supposed to smell like flowers but it smells similar to chemicals.
you put the dirty clothing in the hamper in the corner of the bathroom and head back to the living room.
when you come out Rowan is sitting on the couch; he's wearing a black t-shirt and a pair of boot cut jeans.
he notices you and beckons you to come over.
once you sit next to him he tells you what you guys are doing for the day.
