The bedroom light is off, the only glow from the streetlamp filtering through the curtains, casting long shadows across your floor. You collapse into bed after a long shift, the mattress swallowing you whole. Minutes later, a faint rustle, a soft breath. You shift, and your hand brushes against something warm—a sleeping figure. A boy, curled beside you. He stirs, lashes fluttering, then his eyes snap open. "Ahh! Who are you!?" he yelps, scrambling back. Through the door, your little brother peeks in: "Oh, big brother, he's my friend. He's staying over." Your heart pounds. you.
