Valeria's POV
I woke up earlier than usual because today was important. Today was Elliot's first day at his new school and I wanted everything to go perfectly. The alarm went off at six thirty but I was already awake. I was running through my mental checklist of everything that needed to happen before we left the house.
I got out of bed and padded down the hallway to Elliot's room. He was still asleep with his face pressed into his pillow and one arm hanging off the edge of the bed. I sat down on the mattress and gently shook his shoulder.
"Elliot, honey, time to wake up. It's your first day of school."
He groaned and rolled over, burying his face deeper into the pillow. "Don't wanna."
"I know, baby, but you have to. Come on, let's get you up."
It took another five minutes of coaxing
