I wake up disoriented when I hear a noise.
I realize I'm sweaty and that my hands are trembling when I look around for my beeping mobile.
I irritatedly switch the alarm off.
Why the fuck do I have so many alarms at such weird times?
I swipe a hand on my face, peeling my shirt away from my damp skin,my mind muddled in thoughts.
Shower.
I need a shower.
As I head to the shower, I'm irritated that my body doesn't co-operate as I slide midway into my bean bag,tears sliding my face at an alarming rate.
Just once.
