Sadly This is Not Fictional

Gently turning back and forth, she wakes from a deep slumber. She was out for the count! After incomprehensible dreams, she sits straight up in her bed, she screams in her head "I over slept and I'm late for work!!!" Strangely, it's not work. It's apparent something went awry when she noticed her light still blazing above her.   She looks at her phone to check time and the damage. It's 4am. 

4:00am EST.

Why was she panicking about 4am?

If it wasn't work, then why did she feel like she was late?

Looking once at her phone she new. She'd received three text messages and one phone call…from him. 

At 11pm the night before, he mentioned that he'd be off work soon. Naturally, she wanted to see him, and offered for him to come over after he was done. He concurred with this plan. They were pretty like-minded in most things. 

He ran home, changed, and came over….and waited.

From the time he got off work, to the time he came to her door, she had fallen asleep.

 She'd fallen in a deep sleep. 

She didn't hear the texts, the calls, and I'm sure the knocks.

And when she realized this….she was mortified.

Now she sits up at 4:30am wide awake, wishing she'd never laid her head down.

BLAH! Worst way to wake up ever!
