Lauren’s point of view
It’s 5:05 am, and I’m still 3 hours away, I can’t keep my eyes open. The energy drinks don’t seem to be working anymore, and no genre of music is keeping me awake. I find a closed gas station, and park off to the side, and make sure my doors are locked. I grab my pillow out of one of my suitcases and recline my chair. I'm actually comfortable all snuggle up with my pillow and my coat as a blanket.
I sent my mom and brother a text letting them know that I’m stopping to rest for a little. If I can just get an hour or 2 of sleep in, I should be better. It feels so good to close my eyes, and within seconds, I’m fast asleep. I sleep soundly but wake to my phone ringing. I see the time is 8:57am. Holy crap, I slept almost 4 hours. I can’t believe it.
Me: Hello!
Mom
