Rachel's p/v
I get out of bed and walk to the table. Need some sleeping gummies right this instant.
"Can't sleep?"
I jump. "Darry! You're awake?"
"Mhm."
"With a cup of tea."
"It's good for the soul."
I turn on the lights. Hector isn't in bed.
"Where's Hector?" I ask.
"Not sure. I think he's on his 4 am pee break."
"TMI, but thanks for the info. You look tired."
"Cuz I am."
I grab my phone and take a photo of him sitting on the bay window. Ours look so different to everyone's else.
"Say christmas morning!"
Darry slightly smiles. Loser.

I'm back in bed with warm sheets and tea in my system, but my eyes are wide awake. How many sleepless nights has it been? Life doesn't feel real anymore. All the little times where I thought my whole world was ending don't seem so cruel compared to now. But hey, like Lana once said, "I'm pretty when I cry".

Declan sent me what Mary posted because we both agreed to walk on egg shells for now. He said I shouldn't stop being me just because Mary is claiming I'm being her, but I think we both know that the best is that I keep a low profile. I don't want any more trouble.

Jonathan commented "snazzy blazer". Mary replied with "more like shannzyyzy". I hate their dynamic. Kayla commented "i'm actually in love with you". Mary replied with "let's get married in vegas baby" and Kayla replied with "🙄 fine but I'm wearing a white suit". Mary replied with "no i wanna be elvis". PLEASE I BEG I WANT CONVERSATIONS IN MY COMMENT SECTION LIKE THAT.

Aiden commented "why the fuck are you keeping my husband held captive". I swear everyone I know is friends with Mary now. I know I'm being dramatic but I just hate it. I want people to comment on my posts too! I want Aiden to comment on mine. I get validation from him. I hate myself for pushing him away.
