The morning light is harsh on my eyes and I wake up just to see Natalie still asleep next to me with her arm tightly around my waist.

Maybe, I should feel something? A certain type of warmth and love looking at her sleeping peacefully next to me. but, I don't.

I'm fond of Natalie in a lot of ways, but I don't love her.

All I could think about is the fact that at this moment a couple doors down, Amelia's waking up next to Ansel, and the mere image of It is making me feel sick.

There's a stillness in the winter air that reminds me of the mornings I use to spend here growing up,waking up next to Amelia instead. My body starts to twitch in pain like it's screaming at me for more drugs. I need to get my morning fix before I start to feel like shit.

I get up slowly still shirtless,trying me best to avoid Natalie waking up and questioning me, but the sleepy sound of her voice informs me I failed,

"Where are you going?" Natalie says through a mumble on her pillow.

"Was about to shower." I say to her softly, hoping she will stay asleep as I shut the door behind me,but when I turn around my body crashes into Amelia's.

She stumbles back and her blue eyes wander down my bare chest, then stop at my plaid boxers. Her eyes glisten with need.

It makes me smile to myself,knowing she still wants me as much as I want her.

"Sorry.I was just heading to the restroom to brush my teeth." Amelia barely chokes out, as she tugs at her sleeve and looks to her feet to avoids my eyes.

"I was heading the same way actually." I say to her casually. There's only 1 bathroom up here, which means we all have to share.

"Timothée? How about we shower together.." I hear Natalie's voice from behind me as she approaches us.

I know Amelia isn't going to like what she just heard. She stops speaking when she see's Amelia,who is shooting her a revolting look.

"Good Morning." Natalie says to Amelia but her voice is plain, she wraps her robe around her like it's a security blanket.

Amelia doesn't respond with words and just scoffs at her instead.

Right when I thought the awkward encounter was ending,another one enters our path and now all 4 of us are uncomfortably in front of the bathroom.

"What? I get no morning love from you?" Ansel walks up to Amelia, with the most punchable look on his face.

"Ansel.." Amelia gives he a warning glare,with a mortified look on her face.

What the hell is morning love? I don't even want to know what he means by that because I actually might puke.

"Lighten up..you're not this uptight when we're home."Ansel says before kissing her on the mouth.

My mouth crimps, like I tasted something sour as I watch them. I think I might quite literally get sick now. It takes every ounce of self control that I have not shove him against the wall and give him another concussion. I can feel the jealousy growing inside me, making the worst parts of me come out once again.

"You know Natalie.. now that I think about it, the water heater in this house is janky. We really shouldn't waste any hot water." I speak to Natalie but keep my eyes locked on Amelia, with a lust for revenge on my face.
