I got up and walked to the kitchen slowly. I grabbed a bowl, some cereal, and milk, and went to sit at the table. There was a note on the table. I set my breakfast down and read the note.

Cate,
You were fast asleep this morning. You had a long night last night and looked very tired so I let you sleep in. Relax today. I ran to the store. Be back soon.
Love mom

I finished reading, put the note down, and went and finished my cereal. I sat at the table for a while not knowing what else to do. Finally I got up and went to my room. I was really tired. I laid down on my bed and closed my eyes.
“Cate” I bolted upright as soon as I heard my name. “Sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you.” Jared was standing at the edge of my bed.
“It’s fine.” I said laying back down. I looked over at my clock. It was 4:00 pm. I was sleeping since 10:00 this morning. I rolled out of my bed slowly not wanting to get up.
“Your mom sent me to wake you up.”
