I wake up next to Miles still outside. I put my hand in the water and I splash him. He sits up and looks at me tired and unamused.
"let's go to bed in a bed"
"okay" We both get up and walk towards the house both still in our underwear and this case my bra too.
We stop when we're met with Quint's body covered in dirt and blood on the grass. I grab Miles' hand.
"not real it's not real" He mumbles.
"Miles-"
"this is your fault"
"how"
"Jessel dies and you immediately blame it on him and you make me go on your side"
"I didn't make you do anything"
"I bet your happy he's dead"
"why would you think that"
"cause I know you" He puts his hand on my head and holds onto my hair.
"no you don't"
"yes I do. I know that you like the books more than the movies, I know that you hate when I come into your bathroom when your in the shower even when you are covered. I know that you hate when I come home late. I know you wear my sweaters when I'm at school. I know you're favorite game to play with Flora is Miss Susie. I know you're scared that I'm going to turn out like him. I know you're scared that I will pull your hair right now and hurt you leaving you to die right next to Quint. I know every night you go to Miss Jessel's journal to read it. I think I know you pretty damn well"
"leave me alone Miles"
"I'm sorry?"
"I said leave me alone!"
"you'll never get rid of me" He shoves me down and walks towards the door.
He walks inside and shuts the door. I get up and I walk to the door. I pull on the door handle and it's locked. I pull on the door harder. I look behind me and Quint is standing up now.
"what the fuck!" I run to the side of the house and I start to climb up a pipe to my window. I hit my window until it opens and I crawl inside. I shut and lock my window and door.
"found a way in" Miles said from outside the door.
"your a dick"
"you chose me"
"shut up"
"come on y/n open the door"
"no-" I look out the window and Quint back on the ground.
"fine" I'm going crazy I am going crazy what the hell
"okay bye Miles" I say soft looking out the window.
"are you okay" I don't reply.
"y/n" that's not possible he clearly got up
I sink down to the floor and I hide my head in my knees. Assuming Miles wraps his arms around me. I look up and it's Miss Jessel. I stand up and I step away.
"your not real your dead" She smiles at me and steps closer.
I run to my door and when I open it I trip over Miles who's sitting on the floor with his back against my door.
"ow y/n" He holds his head. Behind him Miss Jessel moves towards him.
"Miles move"
"what?" He looks behind himself.
Miles pov
Nothings there "nothings there"
"stop playing Miles you see Jessel too"
"no I don't" I move over to her.
"are you okay-"
"fuck you" She pushes me away. "don't make me think I lost my mind" She stands up and looks back into her room confused. She runs in and looks around.
"y/n"
"go back to the stupid boarding school next time I see you I'll be different and I won't need you"
"that's not fair"
"you know what's not fair? I had to deal with Quint and I've been abused my whole life by him but you stay on his side. I have to pull you away from prostitutes you guys found on the street. I have to shove you in a pool to sober you up. I wait for the day you come home from that school just so you can still take his side that's not fair"
"well no one asked you to stay! go! if your really tired of all this go away leave!"
"I will but don't expect me to come back"
"I won't"
"fine!"
"fine!" She slams her door.
y/n's pov
I grab a duffel bag and a old box I had. I shove clothes and stuff I need in the duffle bag and I zip it up. I grab a marker and I write "stuff to throw away" on it. I grab stuff off my walls until I stop on a Polaroid that is marked. "y/n's 7th birthday" it's a picture of me and Miles hugging each other smiling. I grabbed other ones until my birthday last year, it's of Miles with his arms wrapped around me kissing my cheek.
I throw them into the box and I wipe a tear. I put other stuff of me and Miles in it. I close the box and I put it outside my door.
I walk down to Flora's room. I open the door and I walk over to her. I kiss her head and I lay my old teddy bear by her.
"y/n"
"shh Flora go back to sleep"
"lay with me please" I sigh and drop my bag. I lay by her and I end up falling asleep with her.

"kids come in here" Mrs Grose says and we all sit in the kitchen.
"your new nanny Kate is coming today"
"this is great is she my aunt or cousin or something"
"don't be smart y/n"
"mhmm" Miles says and I roll my eyes.
"you guys need to be on your best behavior"
"mhmm okay great talk I am going to get ready and maybe die before she gets here" I say sarcastically.
I stand up and walk to my room. I change into jeans and a tee shirt, I grab my bag and I walk downstairs to the front door. When I open it I'm met with a pale blonde haired woman.
"hi I'm-" I shove past her.
