Ellery's POV
I kept on tossing and turning, hoping that the rising sun coming through the little window in my bedroom would go away. I finally gave up trying to sleep in because it was getting too hot. I groggily sat up and looked at Holly sleeping next to me. She looked so calm and peaceful when she was sleeping. I almost didn't want to wake her.
"Holly! Wake up! There's a fire!"
"What is up with the yelling? It's not even noon yet!" Said Holly as she tried to sit up but failed to do so. Barely half a second later, she had began to lay back down on the bed again.
"It's ten o'clock already."
"Just five more minutes." Holly said sleepily.
I got up and went into the kitchen and started making breakfast.
After half an hour, I had some fried bacon, eggs, and sausages all set on the table. The pancake batter was also ready to be fried.
I walked into my bedroom and tried to wake up her up but she wouldn't budge.
"Holly, get up and brush your teeth. Breakfast is ready. There's bacon."
Just saying that made her bolt up. "I'll be ready in 10 minutes."
I laughed at her, she would do anything for food. She would do anything for bacon.
I went back into the kitchen and checked to see if the griddle was hot enough to start frying pancakes. I sprayed a little bit of cooking spray before scooping a ladle of batter onto the pan.
When Holly came out of the bathroom, I had stacks of steaming pancakes ready for the two of us.
"Elle, you know that I love you with all my heart, right?" said Holly fake wiping a tear away from her eye.
"Yeah, yeah. Just sit down and eat."
"Yes, Ma'am!" Holly said and saluted like a soldier.

We pulled up in front of T Time a popular drinks and snacks hangout for young people. T Time was almost like a coffee shop except they also have all sorts of tea, coffee, desserts and smoothies. Cole had picked Holly and I up from my apartment, then dropped her off at her house.
"Why are we here? Aren't we supposed to go see a movie?"
"It's still about an hour before the movie start, so why don't we get something to drink before we head over." said Cole."Why don't you head in first and I'll go park the car."
"Okay."
I opened the car door and headed towards the entrance of the shop. I was about to reach for the door handle when the door suddenly swung out at me. It came straight at me and hit my head, causing me to fall backwards. Out of nowhere, an arm quickly circled and tightened around my waist, keeping me from falling to the ground.
I looked up to see who saved me from falling and my eyes met with a set of familiar piercing gray eyes. I instantly snapped out of my trance when something cold fell on my chest and splashed everywhere. Which made the person holding me drop me onto the rough asphalt, making me yelp in pain.
I looked down to see what was on my body and realized it was some kind of coffee. I was about to say something, but as I opened my mouth nothing came out. Mainly because when I glanced up, I finally got the chance to actually identify the person. I was quite surprised, again.
"You have got to be kidding me." I said when I got my senses back together.
He smirked and said, "Ms. Aires, you have quite a thing for the ground don't you?"
