*THE NEXT DAY*

"Morning Q." Savannah said tiredly, to which I rolled my eyes discreetly as I saw that Savannah and I were laid on the couch together.

"I'm kinda hungry, let's go get something to eat." I said, trying to find a way to get her away from me.

"Sure, but just a few more minutes?" She asked, laying hear head on my chest as I sprung up off of the couch, putting on my bunny slippers and walking out of my room, Savannah trailing after me, confused.

As I walk downstairs, I heard some laughter and sizzling on the stove, thanking god that there were other people awake so I didn't have to be alone with Savannah.

"Morning sleepyheads, nice slippers Quinn." Ellie laughed as my dad flipped some pancakes.

"Why didn't you wake us up?" I asked as I took a seat next to Ellie and Savannah took the seat opposite of me.

"Because you two looked like cuddly little puppies, we didn't want to wake you guys, duh." Cyrus replied as he cooked some eggs on the stove alongside my dad.

"Dad, can you make me eggs?" I asked, yawning.

"Cyrus is making them, why do I need to?"

"Because Cyrus' eggs taste like shit and I'm not eating them." I smirked as Cyrus threw his extra spatula at me, which hit me right on the shoulder.

"ADDIE!"

"Fine, I guess if I'm being punished I'll eat them." I said, sarcastically sighing as Cyrus looked to make sure my dad wasn't looking, and flashed me his middle finger.

I laughed quietly at myself as I reflected for a bit.

My life, here in the In-Between, is perfect for me.

I have most of everything I need, great friends, strong support system.

The In-Between has proved itself to be completely sutible for me to live and even thrive in.

In the West, everyone has more than enough of everything. From food and supplies, to cars and entire homes, they're incredibly well off.

And then there's the East.

A place of poverty, or crime, of complete chaos.

Most stay far as away from the East border as they can, but I think it's misunderstood.

I think it has some good people in it, the good person in particular being Jules.

I don't know what I'd do, or be, without her.

~~~~~

"You look nice today, any plans?" Savannah asked as I did my hair at my desk with my small light up mirror.

"I think I'm going to a rally for the east with Ellie today, then I'm going to see Jules at 3, just same old. How about you?" I asked her, reluctant.

"Well I actually thought we could hang out today." She smirked as she came behind me and trailed her finger up my shoulder.

"I'm good actually, I already told Ellie I'd go."

"Why can't you just take a hint Quinn?" Savannah huffed, sitting at the edge of my bed where I could see her through my mirror.

"What are you talking about?" I asked, knowing exactly what she was trying to do, again.

"Everytime I want to spend time with you, you know, you never want anything to do with me-"
