Eden was tired- she felt drained mentally and physically. All she wanted to do was sleep, to close her eyes and ignore the world. She wanted to lay in the comfort of her warm bed in a dark room and sleep.

That's what she would have been doing with her day if Chris hadn't called her, asking if he could come over to her house. Eden being Eden, couldn't say no to him without feeling incredibly guilty, so she reluctantly agreed and told him he could just use the key under the pink plant pot.

She sat in her kitchen, patiently waiting for Chris to get there, she hadn't poured her frosties yet as she and Chris usually ate breakfast together each time he came over, no matter the time of day they'd always eat cereal at her kitchen island.

"Edennn! I'm heree" Chris called from her front door once he unlocked it.

"In the kitchen!" She called back as she heard her door close and Chris started to walk through towards her, grabbing the bowls she had left out for them and pouring the cereal then milk.

Chris sat beside her, pushing the bowl in her direction and digging in.

Eden could see the look in his eyes, and his facial expression told her everything. He didn't just come over to hang out, he had come with the intention to speak to her about something specific and Eden had a hunch about what it could be.

Sapnap had left a few days ago and Jimmy's video had been posted and for the past few days Eden had been avoiding social media at all costs. She was dreading opening twitter to see what they were saying. She had seen comments about her at the end of the video the day it was posted and after that she swore off it all for a few days, maybe a week.

Eden wasn't sure if she wanted to address it and speak to people about it or leave everything alone until people forgot about it.

"What did you want to talk to me about, I'm not stupid Chris, you look nervous and your looking at me weird" Eden sighed, getting straight to the point, the silence in the room before she had spoke was starting to get awkward. The only noise was the sound of the spoons against their bowls.

"I only wanted to check in on you Eden, make sure you're okay. You're still trending on twitter and people are still trying to figure out why you looked like you were crying. There's this one fan account on twitter that was analysing everything you did in the video to try figure it out. Not everything they said is right, but a lot of it is," Chris told her hesitantly.

"Eden you know I'm not telling you this to make you feel bad but-"

"You think I should address it" Eden finished for him with a sigh, obviously she knew they were all just worried about her but she had been avoiding speaking about this to anyone, she hadn't even spoken to Karl yet.

"I do think it's for the best Eden or people are just going to keep blowing things out of proportion" he told her calmly. Chris was one of Edens best friends yet he acted like more of a brother figure and it had always been like that, Chris was the one who got Eden the job working for Jimmy and she loved him for it.

"I'll think about it Chris- no promises" she laughed quietly.

The two friends talked for quite a while before Chris had to get back to Tucker, promising her he would bring the child next time he came around.

"Bye Chris" Eden called out to him before going back to her bedroom, and going to bed, even If it was only 3pm.
