Chapter 2 Past Unravel

*Beep* *Beep*

The sound of my alarm clock had awakened me from my slumber. “Argh!” I groaned, still very sleepy. My alarm continued to go off slowly bringing me back to my consciousness. I sat up rubbing my eyes as a yawn escaped my mouth.

“Good morning, world, ” I mumbled after giving my body a good stretch. I hopped off my bed sliding on my angry bird puff slippers before walking into my bathroom.

I stood in front of the mirror staring back at myself as I passed my hand over my bare face. “I really need to get rid of these eye bags, ” I mumbled running my fingertips across the dark, saggy bags underneath my eyes before continuing with my morning routine.

After my morning routine, I exited the bathroom to change into my tracksuit since every morning I usually go for a run. Tightening my ponytail as I checked myself out in the long mirror before grabbing my phone and ear pods.

Jogging towards the kitchen to fetch a bottle of water, I met my mom and Roger having breakfast acting all lovey-dovey.

“Hey, honey!” Her mother greeted her with a warm smile. “Good morning, mom, good morning Roger, ” I greeted back while searching for a bottle of water.

“You know, you can call me dad, right, ” Roger said with a reassuring smile.

“I know, but it's just so foreign to me ever since, you know, ” she said, glancing at her mother who sent her an 'I'm sorry' look.

“It's alright, Ashely, call me whatever you want as long as it makes you comfortable, ” he said as she gave him a small smile.

“Thanks, Roger, now I gotta go, enjoy your breakfast, ” she said, getting ready to leave.

“Okay honey, have fun on your run and be safe, ” her mom yelled as Ashely jogged towards the front door.

“OKAY MOM! I WILL!” she yelled back before opening the front door.

As Ashely was about to rush out she abruptly stopped when she saw a young man who was about to ring the doorbell. The sight before her instantly made her weak
