Karen Donna
The continuous sound of my phone wakes me up. I groan, picking up my pillow and using it to cover my ears. It didn't stop.
I reach for it when it didn't stop ringing. I pick up and place it on my ears.
"Hello?" I say, feeling a bit sleepy. I'm already dosing off when the person speaks. The sleep clears from my eyes, and I sit up. "Jane?"
