5) A graveyard date

Wednesday's POV:

It was three in the morning and I was in Jericho.

I ran out last night, overwhelmed and brimming with stress. I didn't know what to do when Enid asked if we were dating—I panicked. I wanted to be with her but... I didn't know what was holding me back.

I assumed it was because I was emotionless and convinced myself I would never fall in love. Or maybe just confused about how someone like Enid could have fallen for me.

I had broken into the Weathervane and made myself a quad. I needed some caffeine to relax my mind, but so far, it was barely working.

I wanted to be with Enid, but I had no idea how to say it or show it. I felt terrible for leaving her behind like that, but I didn't know what else to do in the moment.

Wait a moment... I had a plan to fix this...

Enid's POV:

It was early in the morning, like early early. Not like five or six early, it was still dark out.

I didn't know what time it was, and I didn't feel like using my phone. I had been crying all night, curled up with my stuffed animals.

Why did Wednesday do that? Did I do something? Why did she run out? Why wasn't she back? Did she even want to be together? Did I ask too soon? Was she even okay? Maybe I was too focused on myself rather than the person who struggled with feelings.

Questions invaded my mind. I tried to calm myself down, but it didn't work. I couldn't sleep, so I had to stay up and wait for Wednesday to get back.

I really hoped she was okay.

Time passed by quickly and before I knew it, my alarm went off and she still wasn't back. I had class and I didn't feel like going, but I had to.

I got up and walked to the bathroom. I stripped and hopped into the tub, taking a nice warm shower. My tensed muscles loosened and I fell into relaxation.

I had a strong urge to take a bath—a bubble bath to be exact. But I had to get ready for school.

I reached for my body wash, but then saw Wednesday's. I paused for a moment before grabbing hers and using it to wash my body. Hers was definitely a way different scent than mine, but I loved it.

After a bit, I finally finished showering. I snatched a towel and threw it around my body as I remembered I forgot to grab clothes.

I darted out of the bathroom and to my closet to get my uniform. Once I acquired it, I headed back to the bathroom. But as I was halfway there, the doorknob to the dorm jiggled and I froze.

The door opened and Wednesday stood in the middle of the doorway. A second passed before her eyes landed on me and I saw her face turn a deep red.

Nothing was said between either of us as she immediately stepped back and slammed the door. I full-on ran into the bathroom and closed and locked the door before pressing my back up against it.

Holy fuck, that just happened...

Wednesday Addams just saw me... I didn't even know... I was just happy I was covered.
