Intro

Wednesday

The room was quiet except for the soft hum of your phone vibrating again.

You groaned, rolling over in bed, the blankets slightly twisted around you. Your phone had been buzzing with @ notifications all night, and curiosity finally got the best of you. You unlocked your screen and immediately saw that everyone had been tagging you in the same post. With a groan, you opened Twitter.

There it was — a new tweet from Wednesday Addams. A photo. Her, standing too close to Tyler, his arm slung around her waist, her face angled ever so slightly toward his like she was almost smiling. The caption?

“Graveyards are less lonely with good company.”

Your stomach twisted.

You didn’t feel anything for her anymore. At least, that’s what you told yourself. You had Xavier now. You were happy. You had moved on. She had, too.

And yet… here you were, still in her room. Still her roommate. Still getting tagged by your chaotic friends like it was some kind of joke. Like it didn’t still sting somewhere.

You quickly replied to Yoko, who had tagged you with a snarky “👀” emoji.

@YokoTakahashi: “don’t disturb me”

Then, without another thought, you locked your phone and tossed it to the side, flopping onto your back.

You sighed and pulled the blanket tighter, trying to settle back into sleep— —but you caught the familiar scent of something faint and comforting.

Lavender. Ink. Leather.

You looked down.

“Oh my god…” You were wearing Wednesday’s pajamas.

The same ones she always wore when she stayed in. The silky, dark button-up set she claimed she didn’t care about, but never let anyone else touch. Somehow, somewhere between laundry and autopilot, you had pulled them on without thinking.

You rolled your eyes at yourself, face warm.

“Whatever. It’s not like she’d care,” you muttered, curling deeper under the blanket.

But sleep was hard to catch. Tossing. Turning. Thinking about the tweet. About him. About her.

Sometime later, you cracked your eyes open. The room was dark. Still. You reached for your phone: 2:00 AM.

You blinked. Wednesday’s bed—still empty.

She never stayed out this late. Not even when you were dating. Not unless…

You frowned.

You shouldn’t care. But you did.

Thumbs already typing before your brain could catch up, you fired off a quick message:

baby where are you.?

The second it sent, your eyes widened in horror.

“Shit, shit! Stupid auto correct!” you hissed, sitting up fast. “Why the hell would it—?!”

You scrambled to unsend it—but it was too late. The three dots popped up immediately.
