Nothing Good Happens After 2am How I Met Your Mother Novels & Stories

It was the shrill ringing of my phone that finally dragged me from unconsciousness. “Good morning, Mom,” I mumbled, my voice still hoarse from sleep. “Young lady,” Mom snapped, “are you seriously just waking up? It’s 2 o’clock in the afternoon!” Shit. I sat up quickly, glancing at the glowing red numbers on my bedside clock. I hadn’t realized how badly I needed the rest, probably because Chase had kept me up all night, quite literally, until my body had nothing left to give. I rubbed my eyes as Mom reminded me about dinner. “Don’t forget, six o’clock sharp. You’re meeting my new husband and his son. Be polite.”

It was after 5:00am by now and I was more than exhausted. “Jarvis, wake me up at 2:00pm.” I said. “As you wish, ma’am, sleep well.” He replied. I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. This was a normal thing for me though, I slept easily but unfortunately my sleep wasn’t always calm and peaceful.

I had to wait until the following morning, and then I would pour out my heart to her. For the meantime, I decided to pour my heart into my pillow. It was in this state that I slept off. When I woke up the following day, it was already past noon. It had been a while since I slept this long, so I was feeling a bit empty, but after cleaning up and quenching my hunger pangs I felt alright. I was busy watching N*****x in the living room when my mother walked in. She didn't allow me to speak before cutting in,

I pick up the phone. I've got a friend. She wants to shave. She needs a man's opinion. Nothing. I wait a few minutes, still nothing. Weird. Must be busy. Mattress Mom just got home. I'll check later. I make Faith some dinner, and we have a civil conversation over some Hallmark piece of shit movie. She's not evil, just very superficial and self-centered. Could be worse. July 12, 2:00 A.M.

There goes my sleep. I walked into my bathroom and washed my sleepy face and brushed my teeth. "Miss Mei, breakfast is ready," I nodded and followed her downstairs. "Good morning Mom and Dad," I said and sat down. "Mei," Dad said. I stared at him patiently waiting for what bad news he was about to announce. "Dad," I said. "You can go to the hospital alone and you can go on the date alone but," he said and paused. "But?" I asked. "Mei," Mom said. "Mom," I replied and I turned to look at Dad. "Apa," I whined. "You have to be back before 6," he said. "9," I negotiated with a wide grin on my face.

I settled back on the bed, finding solace in Xander’s comforting touch as I drifted into a deep slumber, hoping that the dizziness was merely a result of constant traveling. Together, we would face whatever challenges lay ahead, cherishing each moment and building a future filled with love and happiness. *** As I lay on the couch, my mind was still consumed with thoughts of Matt’s infamous soup. I glanced at the clock and realized it was already 11 am. “Shit,” I muttered to myself, wondering where everyone else was. I dragged myself out of the room, feeling drained, likely a result of staying awake all night. Neeral greeted me with a smile, offering me a cup of coffee. “Good morning, girl. T

I wake to a delicious aroma filling my senses. My stomach growls in response, and I scramble to find my phone to see what the time is. Eight o’clock. The craziness of the day has taken its toll, and after my mother left, I put my head down for a short nap. Well, that was three hours ago.

I inquired , checking the time on my wrist watch The clock read 23:47 "I couldn't sleep..So I saw that you were still in here and I decided to make you a cup of coffee" My mother shrugged , taking a seat opposite of me after handing me my cup I thank her after accepting the coffee..My mother sighed , leaning back on the chair and I noticed that she looked like she was stressed,a lot.. "Mother , what's wrong? Are you okay?"I was getting worried myself "Yes I'm okay baby"She sighed again, turning her face to look at me"I'm just worried about Sammy..Why isn't he coming to see us anymore?"

He was wearing a robe and it was obvious that he had just woken up. "Mom." Hesitate to greet him and then I awkwardly smile at him. He raised an eyebrow at me. "You messaged me earlier that you would be home at night, around ten PM! It's past ten PM, let's go to one AM!" Mom said while looking at the wall clock. I pouted. I scratched the back of my head, what ten PM? Urgh! Travis is so stupid, why is he? I messaged my mom using my phone and told her the time of my return home? Then she didn't even tell me, I'm the one who's so upset now! She shut up!
