Then I turned to Sarah and back to Spencer. “You think maybe we should take her home Spence?”

            “Yeah, good idea,” she replied. With that, Spencer and I walked Sarah back to her dorm and made sure she was safe in bed. She was really upset about her boyfriend, but she was also very drunk which just made her much more emotional.

            Spencer and I began to walk back to my place. “Shit!” she exclaimed. “We forgot Angela at the party! I’m the worst friend ever!”

            She started running back towards the party I caught up to her and grabbed her arm. “Spence, Spence it’s okay. Brent took her home, she’s fine.”

            “Are you sure?”

            “Yes,” I replied reassuringly. “I made sure he was taking her home. She’s fine I promise.” I could see her ease up a little and she linked arms with me, resting her head on my shoulder.

            “Am I staying at your place tonight?” she asked.

            “Of course,” I replied with a smile and a kiss to her forehead as I realized how much I loved that we had become like a couple. We had been doing this for a while. She waits till Angela’s asleep, comes down to my room, and goes back up before Angela ever even wakes up and notices. She puts a pillow in her bed in case Angela ever gets up to use the bathroom. It’s worked out pretty well so far; I don’t mind because she’s in my bed every night.

Later that week I fell asleep really early, before she even got to my room. I had a really rough week emotionally and I just wanted to crash and fall asleep. I left the door unlocked for her so she could come in after Angela fell asleep. Around 12:30 I heard the door open.

            “Awww, look at my sleeping beauty,” she said playfully.

            “Shut up,” I said sleepily. “I’m tired; it was a long week.

            “I know,” she said, crawling into bed with me. “You’ve been so stressed this week. I’ve hardly seen you at all,” she continued as she lied down opposite me, face-to-face, brushing hair out of my face and leaving her hand resting on my cheek.
