It was almost ten o'clock in the morning when you were woken up by Emma gently nudging you awake. "Y/n?" She said softly shaking your shoulder.

You rolled over, rubbing your eyes and yawning as the sun shined on your face through the curtains.
"What time is it?" You asked groggily, sitting up in bed.
"It's almost ten in the morning," Emma replied looking at her watch, "You missed breakfast, Miss Peregrine wanted me to come to wake you up before we went on our walk so you could get ready." She said.

You sigh running a hand through your messy hair, "You guys go on without me, I'm gonna sit this one out." You replied laying back down. Emma looked at you, concern was written all over her face, "Are you sure, Y/n?" Emma asked, "You usually love going on walks."

You nodded rolling back over in bed. You hear Emma walk away and close the door behind her, her lead shoes are pretty loud on the hardwood floors, as soon as she'd left you got up and locked the door then returned to your unmade bed.

Last night had been rough, you relapsed again. You were almost three months clean, now all you could think about is how much your thighs hurt. You had stayed up all night last night, you couldn't fall asleep even though mentally and physically you were exhausted.

You'd tried everything, counting sheep, reading a book, writing in your journal, and so on. But, nothing seemed to work. You'd only managed to fall asleep at around six or seven earlier that morning when Miss Peregrine came around to check on everyone.

She had scared you when she opened the door but you'd managed to play it off as if she had just woken you up.

~Small Flashback~

"Y/n, what are you doing up, dear?" She asked softly, walking into your room she took a seat on the foot of your bed and gently rubbed up and down your lower leg. You turned to face her, your voice was naturally groggy from having not slept.
"What?" You mumbled. Miss Peregrine softly smiled at you then stood up and placed a light kiss on your forehead,
"Go back to bed, Y/n." She said softly before leaving your room.

~End of Flashback~

You got out of bed and sat staring out the window and watched everyone walk away from the house. You cursed yourself for not getting yourself out of bed and going with them, for not going to bed earlier, for not getting up earlier, why couldn't you just fucking get up!

Before you knew it your eyes were burning with tears, you tried to steady your breathing as all the emotions you'd been holding back came to the surface and you didn't know what to do. After a couple of minutes of just plain crying, you dried your eyes and composed yourself before finally getting dressed, though it's not like you were going to do anything today.

You took out your phone and put in your headphones and headed downstairs to tidy up before everyone got back. The house felt so weird and quiet, that was until while sweeping the kitchen you were pulled out of your trance by Enoch.
