Closer When We Should be Far

wednesday's pov

 on saturday morning when i woke up enid seemed to have thrown a party in our room. i mean to say OUR room. not HER room for LEISURELY PARTIES WHEN SHE PLEASED. as much as i despise the fact I AM A HUMAN TOO. When my eyes shot open and i uncrossed my arms across my chest, bianca, xavier, kent, divina, yoko, eugene, ajax and enid were all sitting around, on floors and beds and leaning against walls, talking and eating lightly. Thing was bustling around a book on enid's bed, where ajax was also lounging; on the longer side of the bed, leaning against it, xavier was deep in conversation with him. sitting between our two beds, kent sat in the middle of the floor and bianca leaned against the window against the balcony, and in the middle of the room was eugene. with her back to the door, divina was eating her way steadily through four potatoes, with her back to the wall on my side of the room was yoko, and lounging casually at the foot of my bed on the long side near the corner was enid, as if i was not sleeping on the bed while she threw a casual fucking party in my room.

 the door tried to open; divina stood up quickly, mouth still full of potato. joel was there; he entered with his food, dumping his backpack on the ground. "ah, throwing a party, wednesday? and you didn't think to invite me?" i opened my mouth to protest and xavier said, "ah hello, roommate, come join us," raising his drink in mock formality. half of them laughed.

 "no, nobody will be joining and everyone will be LEAVING," i commanded. "but im your boyfriend, come on, have a little fun," said joel, promptly joining us and leaning against the bathroom door. enid grinned. "well now all of us are awake," she said cheerfully. i shook my head. "first of all, we share this room and i believe it is actually a rule to get your roommate's consent before throwing a total party in your dorm. second, even if i did allow you to do this there are people on my side of the room too, which i do not and will never consent to. thirdly, you should have woken me up first, i look like a mess-"

 "you look perfect, and i had to let you sleep," said enid cheerfully. "yes, yesterday was a long and eventful day," said joel, coming over. he gave me a light kiss on the cheek before sitting next to me on my bed; i just rolled my eyes, turning my head away to lean it against the wall. "one time only. merely because i would have murdered you if you woke me up, and with my eye i would not be in full condition to take on this many. i could list out the weaknesses off the top of my head but depending on enid's PSI bite force and yoko's fangs there could be a combination of outcomes depending on the morning song necklaces as well as the strenght of their binding chains which based on the sterling silver and the amount of links would be around-"

 "wednesday," said enid, looking up at me from where she sat on the floor about a foot from my feet. "none of us will fight you, it's the weekend, and it's your first full day back. i know a lot happened that one night before we left, but we're okay now." i just went silent at her words, so did everyone else, and i just shook my head and left to go get food. 

 i knew deep down she was right, but for some reason being back here and knowing that gates was back on the loose, damned laurel gates, it had some effect, and no one knew where tyler was. and since joel came, for some reason-of course, it was just being back-but i had some new sense of unease that there was more i didnt know than i knew. i mean to say, i did not know what i didnt know, and that only made it worse. i had no idea what to figure out, so how could i figure it out?

 i reached the kitchens, and promised myself for this weekend, this first weekend, id just try to be a normal person. it was too much work being wednesday addams. being hunted and killed and fought and attacked and every other fucking thing. all i wanted was to just sit back and let myself be a person for once. i didnt know if the universe itself would allow me to but i could try. just one weekend, our first weekend back in seven months after everything that happened that night.
