60 A sleepless nigh

I covered my ears with my pillow as Jacia snored loudly next to me. My bloodshot eyes struggled to stay open as I sat in my bed. Of all the roommates that I could have this bitch had to be it.

I am willing to cut off my arm and sell it to the devil if I can get a pair of sound canceling headphones right now. Should I wake her up?

No I shouldn't.

The last time I did that I slept with two slapped cheeks and a bump on my forehead. I turned and watched her sleep. Her covers were thrown on the ground as she slept with her limbs thrown around. She looked like a starfish.

"You son of a bitch! I had a full house! Give me my bottle of rum that you owe me....."

I frowned. Even in her sleep she dreams of poker and rum. Lord above what the fuck is wrong with this person?

I pulled the covers over my head and pressed the pillow against my ears in order to stop hearing her snores. Let's just close our eyes and think of handsome anime guys. Just as I started to calm down and feel my consciousness start to slip away Jacia's snoring only seemed to intensify.

I started banging my head against the headboard of the bed. Please Lord let me be knocked out so that I can sleep. I'm even willing to sleep for the rest of my life and never wake up at this point.

Why don't we just think about some complex boring questions? When we sleep why do we only see black before our dreams? Is it because our eyeballs are going to sleep as well? What part of us shuts down first? Our brain or our senses? What is it that makes us dream? What? What?

UGH THIS ISN'T FUCKING WORKING! IM ABOUT TO FUCKING GO CRAZY FROM NOT SLEEPING.

I pushed back my covers as I walked back and forth the small room that Jacia and I shared. It is not fair how this bitch was sleeping so soundly while I'm suffering like this. I looked over at her as I chuckled evilly and picked up my pillow. I then walked over to Jacia. Maybe I should just silence her for a second. Who knows maybe if I cover her nose she can stop snoring. I smirked as I slowly brought the pillow down. Just for one second let me silence her so that I can sleep.

Suddenly my room door flew open. I threw my pillow on the floor in shock.

"Who the fuck just walked into my room while I'm trying to motherfucking sleep? You better have a good enough reason or I swear to God that I'll shoot a hole between your eyes."

I rubbed my eyes and slapped myself.

"Oh my God Lutious, I'm sorry sweetie I didn't mean to say that to you. Please don't cry, tell your dear sister Mila what's wrong."

Lutious looked at me with tears in his eyes before he ran out of the room sobbing. I can't believe that I have just yelled at a 10 year old like that. Does not getting enough sleep actually ruin a person to this extent? Jacia's snores continued to rise in decibels.

The slow swaying of the boat made me stagger as my exhaustion crashed on me all at once. The ship was quiet as the crew members slept. I opened the door up to the deck and stepped on to it. There was not a soul in sight. The sky above was a slightly lighter shade of midnight blue. That must mean that it's almost dawn. I looked over the railing to see the calm waters softly tap the bottom of the boat as a slight breeze blew through. I breathed in the salty air as I looked up to see the sails slightly fold and retract. Such a peaceful sight. I placed my pillow from earlier under my head as I laid down on the deck looking up at the dark sky. My eyelids started to droop as I felt peace fill me. I smiled. Finally I can get some sleep.

I was in the middle of accepting the anime butler's tea when someone shook me awake. As I opened my eyes I fucking snapped.

"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT?! CANT YOU SEE THAT IM TRYING TK FUCKING SLEEP HERE?"

I blinked as I looked at a teary Clarabella.

"I'm sorry Mila, I saw you here without a blanket so I thought that I would bring you one. I'm sorry to interrupt your sleep."

I reached out to Clarabella but she ran away and slammed the door shut.

"I'm sorry."

I rubbed my face as my anxiety intensified. I'm turning into a monster. Can't I just have one hour of sleep my Lord above? I closed my eyes once more. Suddenly I was being chased by the IT clown. I sat up in the deck sweating. Jesus! The one time that I wasn't interrupted while sleeping I had a nightmare. I whispered as I put my head on my knees.

That's it. I'm just not fated to sleep tonight. I watched the sky lighten slowly as minutes turned into hours. I felt my eyelids droop once more as the sky turned into a mix of light pink and blue. The sun was peeking through alerting the world that it was time to wake up. As I felt my consciousness slip away and my mind turn off so that I could finally sleep the sound of footsteps filled my ears. The deck for flew open as all the crew members filled the deck. Their chattering voices filling my ears and taking away the small amount of sleep that I had. I chuckled before I sat up and rushed to the railing.

That's it. I'm going to throw myself overboard and be eaten by the sharks. That way I can finally sleep. I suddenly felt an arm around my waist.

"Are you thinking of going for a swim?"

I turned to see Baron smiled at me with amusement in his eyes. I smiled back and said.

"Baron could you do a favor for me?"

Baron nodded.

"Yes what is it Mila?"

I smiled genuinely as I tilted my head and said.

"Could you please knock me out so that I could fall asleep?"
