Behind Closed Doors [Security Breach Reader Insert] (COMPLETED!)

Part 16 - A New Day

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
You groan.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
It's your alarm.
You slowly peel open your eyes.
Your face feels weird, why?
Why does your face feel so strange?
You reach a hand up to touch your cheek, and turn to look at your pillow.
Oh.
Tears.
You cried yourself to sleep last night.
Suddenly, your mood is ruined by the memories of last night flooding back to you.
Axel was found dead in his home by Achilles.
A homicide. 28 stab wounds.
You've never seen anything like it.
Well, on TV, of course. But not near you.
It's terrifying to think about. That there's a murderer on the loose.
You sigh, and stand up, preparing yourself for work. This involved taking a shower, drying your hair, brushing your teeth, and brushing your hair.
As you walk out of the bathroom and down the stairs, you see [B/N] already awake.
He notices you.
"Jesus, put some clothes on. The next time I see you with a towel on, I'm gonna puke."
You roll your eyes at him.
"Hey, I fell asleep on the couch last night, right? Like, you didn't knock me out?" He asks.
You shake your head.
He raises a brow.
"O...kay..? Anyway, did you leave the TV on last night? I woke up and John Wick was on." He motions at the TV.
You turn to see that John Wick was, in fact, playing on the screen.
You never watched the show before, but your dad did.
He loved John Wick.
They never should've fucked with the dog.
"Sorry about that." You mumble, walking to the laundry room to grab your uniforms.
"Okay. What's going on?" Your brother jumps off of the couch, and makes his way towards you.
"What do you mean?" You grab your uniform, and make your way upstairs, [B/N] in tow.
"You're acting weird. Normally you'd laugh at me when that happens. You never apologize to me." He crosses his arms.
"What's so bad about me apologizing to you?" You ask.
"I just said it. It's because you never do."
"But what if I wanted to now?" You stop in the doorway to your room, turning to look at your little brother.
It's strange. You can't bring yourself to tell him what you saw on the news last night.
"That's the thing. You never want to!" He retorts.
"Just.. leave me alone!" You snap at him.
He flinches as you slam the door.
You take a deep breath, and change into your uniform.
You got most of the glitter glue out, it's just a little bit colored where it was. But it's not too noticeable. Not unless someone was staring at you.
You begin to cry again, trying your best to suppress your sobs.
This would have worked, if you weren't sniffling so much.
You hear a soft knock on your door.
"[Y/N]?"
It's your sister.
"W-What?"
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah. Why?"
You lie.
"What are you doing?"
"Getting ready for work, what else?"
"Okay then.. I'm, uh.. going to take a shower, okay?"
"Alright."
The footsteps walk away, and you plop down on your bed, staring at the ceiling.
That's when your phone buzzes.
You glance over, and pick it up.

Ledger:
Are you coming to work today?

[Y/N]:
Yeah.

Ledger:
Did you hear what happened to Axel..?

[Y/N];
Yes.

Ledger:
Man.. Hey, I'm sorry.

[Y/N]:
Why are you apologizing? It's not like you did it

Ledger:
Right, I know that. I'm just sorry. For you. I know how you must feel, right? You seem like the empathetic type.

[Y/N]:
What? You've known me for two days. Two. You don't know what I'm like.

Ledger:
No, no! I didn't mean it like that! You just seem like a really nice person, you know?

[Y/N]:
Whatever

Ledger:
I know you're upset. I know. Just wanted to let you know if you need someone to talk to, I'm here. Okay?

[Y/N]:
Thank you, Ledger. I'm sorry for being rude.

Ledger:
No problem. It's a hard time for all of us. I get it, don't worry.

[Y/N]:
I'll see you at work.

Ledger:
On time this time?

[Y/N]:
Yeah, lmao

Ledger:
See ya there, [Y/N] :)

You shut off your phone, and smile.
You always seem to have the urge to smile whenever Ledger is near.
Maybe it's because he's a really good friend.
You sigh, checking the time.
12:42.
You should get going.
You wonder if your siblings are ready.
Getting up, you walk out of your bedroom, and down the stairs.
[S/N] and [B/N] are sitting on the couch, watching the television.
"Come on guys, let's go." You say, jingling your keys.
"Aw man, we're watching The Texas Chainsaw Massacre!" [S/N] whines.
"In the day? Wimps. You can finish it tonight. Come on." You smile, and walk out of the door.
You were first for once!
"Um. [Y/N]?" Your brother calls out.
"Yeah?" You turn.
"Are you going with no shoes on?"
Damn it.
