It felt like some one was hitting her head with a hammer, because she was having an heart shattering migraine.

"Fuck!" Mia hissed, and then let out a moan that sounded muffled against the pillow she had her face on.

When she completely flicked her eyes open, she was nearly blinded by the harsh aggressive sunlight which, shone through her windows.

Groaning, she pressed her face tight into her pillow, but she couldnt return back to sleep.
