==> Suvi Wake

In the white room with black curtains near the station
Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings
Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes
Dawn light smiles on you leaving, my contentment

	The alarm clock that your uncle had programmed when you were seven started blaring White Room, a song you liked when the summer was too slow and needed a second to relax. But now at age sixteen the song frankly annoyed you, mainly due to the fact that you still had no clue how to reset the damn thing.

	Peeling herself from the bed, Suvi groped her pillow before finding her rounded out seeing glasses, it was too early for contacts, it was almost two in the afternoon, the normal summer sleep schedule for a teenager left alone in a private beach house. Ok well alone was one detail to avoid using to Child Services, one of her uncle’s ex girlfriends dropped by once a day, sometimes.

	Today you were feeling Queen, that was the appropriate way to drown out the Cream that played on your alarm clock. Hiking up your sleep shorts up, you flip on the record player in the corner of your bedroom, setting the needle down on the right groove to the beginning of Killer Queen. You really liked the rifts in this song and you would try to feel like you were the killer babe in this song, not that you were, but it was fun to pretend.

	Suvi, still drugged by the sleepy spell left behind by mister sandman moved out from her room and down the hallway towards the kitchen. The walls were covered in posters from bands her uncle loved, including his own band, The Traveling Companion, an old yet still mildly enough to make bank band. She toed her way into the kitchen the difference of the nice cushy carpet to the linoleum that was cooled by the AC.

	You ate breakfast while staring over at the glass case where your uncle kept all his instruments locked up in when he was gone. He kept the key on him when he went out on tour,  he liked to keep them in eyesight so he can see that everything in place. Personally you would rather not have a glass case that could possibly get broken, but it was cool enough. You still wished you could get your hands on the bright cherry red guitar that had all vintage wood and detailing, but was so fine tuned that when you plucked on her without an amp it was like liquid sound heaven.

	Feeling better with having some leftover steak and a glass of orange juice inside her, Suvi cleaned up and moved to the bathroom, she’ll feed Sylthia when she finishes getting ready for the day. The song Don't Stop Me Now was flowing from her room when she passes by, the Cream had stopped playing on her alarm clock at this point. Flicking on the light to her bathroom she pauses when she hears something shift behind the bathroom mirror cabinet. There was silence, right before Sylthia bursts out from the cabinet, spilling out the contents, including Suvi’s medicine.

	You jump and yelp at this, what the fuck is going on! Your family and personal companion snake was shifting around in the bathroom just as freaked out as you, even worse now she was transporting shit around- AUGH! Moving to try and comfort your companion you offered Sylthia your arm, which she gladly took to grip around your arm like a tight band. Once Sylthia had calmed down you were scolding her calmly and stroking over her scales, “there there Sylth, you silly slithery noodle, what were you even doing in there?”

	Now that the situation was defused, Suvi cleaned up the mess, picking up the pill bottles, creams and first aid that was stored in the mirror cabinet. Once everything was organized back inside she realized something important was missing...Oh no. A feeling of dread comes over Suvi, Sylthia had moved from her arm to the back of Suvi’s shoulder’s tongue flickering out at the air.
	“No no no no, that was a whole months worth,” Suvi felt her eyes watering up, this was frustrating, she’s a big girl now, just look for it, it’ll be fine. She knelt over to look around the toilet, the bathtub, even in the other cabinets. She felt a break down happening, but was feeling herself get built up too quickly.

	You get up, hands shaky, so you wash them in the bathroom sink, flicking water off of your hands before grabbing a soft towel. The snake companion on your shoulders disappears out of existence, of course she would right now. She had probably accidentally ejected a months worth of your medicine fuck knows where with her teleportation abilities. Taking a few deep breaths you move to your bedroom, picking up your phone and moving away from the sound of Freddie Mercury to the balcony overlooking the sea. You nibble on your thumb a moment before giving your uncle a ring.

	Brrring...Brrring….Brrring...Click.

	“Hey Stu,” the hoarse tones of your uncle answered the phone, you sighed, “is there anything wrong over there kiddo?”
	“Hey! Yeah there’s a little bit of an issue happening, did you just wake up?” you asked the last part cautiously, holding your phone to your head with a lot more pressure then necessary.
	“No no no, I mean yes, but you know, all night par-taying with fans, what’s the ish kiddo?”
	You bite at your lips, knowing that it was just your nerves after losing your medicine and the stress that was pressing at yourself.
	“My medicine went missing,” you said firmly, “Sylthia freaked out in the bathroom and now my months worth is gone.”
	“Is Sylthia ok?”
	You tried not to roll your eyes at this, “yes, I calmed her down, back to the medicine, please.”
	“Alright you’re the boss, I’ll send Veronica over and you two can go to your doc to get a prescription refill for the pharmacy.”
	“No- I can do it myself, there’s no need to inconvenience Veronica,” you said quickly, you could already feel an argument about to come from this.
	“Hey bud why not? I’d really like it if you and her got along, she’s a really nice lady, she checks on you everyday,” your uncle sighed, he knew what you were going to go in on and you wanted to not to as well. You just wished he understood.
	“Well she made it pretty obvious how she sees me,” you said calmly in tone, trying to skirt around the topic.
	“Oh jesus, are you still on about the trap joke? You know she was just kidding, its funny Suv! It’s a joke!”
	“Yeah and she made me feel like who I am is a joke,” you sniped back, “just because it’s a joke doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt anyone any less.”
	There was a pregnant pause between the two of them on the phone line, Suvi picked at her nail polish, usually her and her uncle were two peaches in a pie. Or at least Suvi worked hard to make it that way, guiding her uncle away from drinking afternoons away to show her how to weld metal together or even getting him to sit down and watch movies he liked with her. Keeping him on track of working on his sheet music for the record label so his manager didn’t drop him by having jam sessions on the beach. Waking him up early for press conferences or for local events, picking up after him because having someone else clean the house made him paranoid.
	“Ok kiddo, I’m gonna go, bring it up with ‘Ronica, I’m busy.”
	You’re always busy.

	Click.

	You move back inside and feel yourself deflate and rub at your eyes, you hated getting like this, or even arguing about the same thing when there were different shifts in opinions. There’s nothing you can do about it now, maybe your thoughts will get better sorted out later. You relooked through the bathroom, taking it apart before giving up to take a shower. Stepping out of the bathroom you’re stopped by Sylthia reappearing with a small package in her ginormous mouth.

	Suvi took the package from Sylthia’s mouth, giving her a nice stroke over her head before she looked over the package. Estrogen, yes.
	 After she hopped up on the bathroom counter and gave herself the one of two shots of the week she stored the bax away happily with a hum, feeling a little better now. Still feeling like shit she moved to the living room, flipping on FInding Nemo and snatching a box of cereal finally getting around to her messages.
