Enid's POV:

I can't sleep. So much happened today. I can't believe I did that. I have no idea why I even did that. I would never do that to Wednesday. Never. Even if I just did.

I would never have any thought of doing that. It was like I was provoked. It's been an hour since Wednesday has left. I think, maybe it just feels like that. I wonder where she has gone.

My pillow is stained with tears. Why can't I stop crying? Just accept it!

Wednesday doesn't love you anymore! She fucking hates you! She probably wishes you were never born! Never was placed into her life! Why are you fucking alive?!

The door opens, snatching the thoughts away from me. Wednesday walks over to her side of the dorm, not making any eye contact with me whatsoever. My eyes follow her every move.

She grabs a suitcase from under her bed and starts putting clothes in there. Where the fuck is she going? She zips up the suitcase and I don't even notice that I am now standing.

My feet make slow, careful steps toward her. I'm now in the middle of the room. Wednesday pulls the suitcase to the ground and lifts up the handle.

Her body turns around and stops once she sees me. The contact has now been made, and I know she'll never break it.

"W-where are you going?" I stutter.

She continues to look at me, never breaking contact. I swear I can see tears welling up in her eyes. What the fuck? She is hesitant, I can see it.

"We need a break," Wens says before taking a step to leave. I move aside to stop her.

"Wait... are you... breaking up with me?" My lip quivers as my eyes rapidly look back and forth from her to the suitcase.

She takes a breath and swallows hard before answering. "No, we just need some time apart from each other, that's all. A little separation, a little break." She says as she walks past me towards the door.

She slams the door once she passes it and leaves me alone. Fuck. I lost her.

Who knows how long this break will be?

Wednesday's POV:

I rub my eyes, pushing back the tears that want to fall. I didn't deserve anything Enid did to me. I walk quickly to Layla's dorm.

I went there earlier after I bathed Enid. I was on the verge of tears when I walked through that door. I asked if I could spend a few nights in her dorm.

Of course, she accepted. But she also kept asking me questions. I told her I'd tell her once I got my stuff. Which I did so I'm now heading back.

I sniffle and wipe my eyes again before opening the door. I step in, close the door behind me, and turn around to the room. It's colorful, but not as colorful as Enid's side of the dorm.

At least that'll be one less thing that reminds me of her. I sit down on the extra bed and notice Layla's not here.

Where is she?

I kick my feet a little as I wait for her to get back. She eventually does as the door opens.

"Hey, sorry," Layla says as she walks over to me after closing the door. "I got you some snacks." She says before handing me a bag of chips and a granola bar.

I nod a thank you as I take them from her and set them down on the bed next to me. I rip open the bag of chips and pop one into my mouth.

Layla sits on the other side of me, her body slightly turned towards me. "So what happened?" She asks.

I eat another chip and hesitate. Should I tell her? I don't really want to ruin the relationship between her and Yoko. But she deserves to know.

I stammer before finally finding my words. "Something happened between me and Enid," I mutter as I grab another chip.

Layla holds her hands together. She hums and nods, allowing me to continue. "Did you guys break up?" She asks before I can say anything.

I shake my head. "No, we're just taking a break," I say.

"Who did what?" She asks.

I finish chewing before looking up at the ceiling and falling backward onto the bed. I try to prevent the tears from falling out. I feel like I just lost my beloved.

"I caught Enid and Yoko making out in Yoko's dorm," I mutter.

Layla's eyes widen in disbelief. "Yoko...?" I hear.

I nod. "I shot her. Their excuses were they were drunk and didn't know what they were doing." I shrug.

I turn my head a little to look at Layla. She's in disbelief and shock. "You shot her?" She screams.

I roll my eyes. "She's fine. She's in the hospital, alive and well." I say before closing my eyes.

I rest them for a little. I feel small movements on the bed as I reopen them. "You said you caught Yoko and Enid making out?" Layla questions.

I nod my head in response as I watch her stand up. She grabs her phone and turns to leave the room. I hear the door close as I sit up and sigh.

I stand and unzip my suitcase. I start getting outfits together. Was this the right thing to do?
