章 8: Book 1: Chapter 8 - The loneliness hits me like a ton of bricks.

　　　Light streams in through the window, settling around me like a protective halo. My eyes slowly flutter open and I groan, squeezing them shut tightly. The sunlight is too bright for my sensitive vision. My eyes are stinging and I can barely keep them open for any longer than a few seconds.

　　　I pull the duvet around me and snuggle in, breathing in the familiar scent. Barely a minute passes before my body finally gives in and I fall into a deep much needed sleep.

　　　I wake up to the sound of my phone going off, over and over again. My clock reads 11pm. I slept through the whole day.
