Wednesday's POV:

"No!" I yell out, jerking upwards from the bed. I hyperventilate before turning to my side to find Enid still there. She's very much alive.

I sigh of relief and catch my breath. She's alive, I'm alive. I didn't kill myself, Yoko didn't kill her.

I slowly pull the covers off of me and neatly place them back on Enid's body. I almost get startled as I see the vampire standing in the doorway.

I pull myself together, straightening my posture and taking deep breaths. "You okay there?" Yoko asks me, stepping into the room and closing the door behind her.

I nod my head and look back at Enid. "Just a nightmare. That's all." I mutter.

Her head moves up and down as she stands next to me, looking at Enid as well. "Wanna talk about it?" She asks.

I shake my head before turning to walk into the bathroom. I close and lock the door behind me. I automatically look at the wall. There are no holes.

My hand moves up into my eyesight. It's not bandaged and it's all clear of wounds. It really all was a dream.

I sigh again before staring at myself in the mirror. How long has it been since she went into a coma? A week already? I lost track of time. It's been a while.

I swallow the lump that sits in my throat. I should ask the nurses about Enid. Just to make sure she has a chance to wake up. I don't want my nightmare to come true.

I open the door again and freeze. Wait, my grades! Am I failing? I quickly walk out of the bathroom but then stop to turn to Yoko.

"What time is it?" I ask her. She takes out her phone and turns it to me. 7 am? "What are you doing here this early?" I question.

She shifts her weight, sliding her phone back into her pant pocket. "I came over to see if you were going to finally go to class today." She replies.

I nod my head. I should. Who knows how much I missed? My mind was too focused on Enid.

"I just have to do something first," I say before leaving the room.

I found a nurse that was assigned to Enid. She looks nothing like the ones in my nightmare.

"Excuse me," I mumble, catching her attention. Her eyebrows go high as she turns to look at me. "Yes? How can I help?" She says sweetly, smiling at me.

I force a tiny one back but wipe it away quickly. How much I hate being nice and asking for help. But it's for Enid.

"Any serious news on Enid?" I speak out after a couple of seconds. She shakes her head.

"Not that I know of." The nurse says.

I nod and look to the side. "She is able to wake up, right?" I want to make sure.

She nods her head. "Yes, of course. She has the normal amount of odds to wake up. Just it will take a little longer most likely." I hear.

Oh, thank god. I turn around, walking back into the room to grab Yoko.

"Let's get to class," I say to her once we get out of the hospital.

——————————

I trot into the classroom, sitting down at my table. Hopefully, I'm not failing, nor have a lot of work. I'll get used to sitting here alone again. I see a figure in front of me as I look up to find the teacher.

I raise an eyebrow, obviously confused as to why she's here. "Miss Addams. Nice to see you again. I heard what happened and I'm sincerely sorry." She says, looking me right in the eye.

I stare back and nod. "How are you doing from that?" She asks me.

I shake my head. "I'm doing alright," I mutter.

I want her to leave. She clicks her tongue. "Alright well, I wanted to let you know that you are excused from all the work you missed. And your grades will remain the same until you do some work." The teacher smiles at me sweetly before walking away.

Why is everyone smiling at me? It's weird and annoying. Very uncomfortable, too. I notice Layla and Jason walking in. I think for a moment about asking Jason or even Layla to sit next to me.

I do notice Layla eyeing me once she walks near. I look down at the table, clearly nervous about asking. I hate asking.

"Wens! How are you feeling?" I hear from next to me.

My head twists around to my side to find Layla sitting next to me. I relax. Finally, a presence.

"I'm okay," I mutter, looking back down at the table.

She hums before taking out her supplies for class. I hesitate before doing the same. I have to calm down. Everything's fine. It's all okay, Wednesday.

——————————

I ride in the car with Yoko and Layla. Classes are finished and we're driving back down to the hospital to visit Enid. All I want to do is sit on her bed for hours, talking to her about everything.

I want her to be awake when I do that. I want to be able to let my emotions out into her arms as she comforts me.

I miss Enid.

Yoko pulls the car into park as I step out. The cool air brushes my nose as I breathe it in. It's quiet. The only thing I hear is the birds chirping and cars zooming past.

The girls aren't even out of the car yet as I'm walking to the building. The receptionist waves at me as I just nod. I hate being polite to people. Enid changed something in me. I think it's for the best.

I'm still not sure though. I walk closer and closer to Enid's room. I reach the door and I open it.

But, I don't walk into the room as I'm staring into those ocean-blue eyes.
