6:33 pm

Y/n and Sal have been in their room all day; she felt bad for throwing Ash's wine bottle at Larry, and felt too ashamed to face them. she didn't know why she reacted that way or why she was remembering what happened last year.

she thought she got over it after going to therapy for a few months, which she apparently didn't.

her guess was after seeing the news about James getting out of prison, her mind kept thinking about all the things he had done to her. maybe in a protective way to keep her on edge; she sighed as her head started to hurt from all the thinking.

she honestly wanted to go home to her drunken mother, but also didn't. yeah her mom was a mess but that doesn't mean Y/n still doesn't lover her; she just hoped that her mom will get better and lean off the drinking. maybe a couple therapy sessions would work, like how she probably needed to go back to therapy.

she sighed again, staring at the ceiling watching the fan wings go in circles at a fast pace. "you okay?" your train of thought was interrupted by Sal. "yea just thinking" "about what?" you sighed "a lot" he nodded, not wanting to pry more from you.

"you can hang out with the others, i'll be fine alone" you told Sal while looking in his direction. "are you sure?" he asked a little concerned, not wanting to leave you alone. "yea, i'll come down soon. just wanna lay here for a bit longer." you smiled softly at him, he nodded as he got up from his spot.

"if you need anything don't hesitate to ask" his eyes squinted as his mask lifted slightly. you smiled back at him "yes sir" you teased as he left the room.

Y/n stared at the ceiling, it was their last day at the resort. she was excited to go home and lay in her bed, but she was also nervous after her flashbacks; what if James is looking for her?

the thought of James looking for her made her stomach turn; she tried to brush the thought away, how would he even find you? no one knew where Y/n moved, they just knew that she was leaving and never coming back.

she sighed, getting up from bed she decided to wonder the halls, explore a bit to clear her head. she didn't wanna freak out again, she felt that she ruined the night for everyone from her outburst; so she distanced herself until she felt ready enough to see the others.

her skin crawled as she shivered after leaving the warm comfort from the bed; grabbing a hoodie and slipping it on as she made her way to the door.

the hallway had many doors, most of them being bedrooms and some of them being an office. the hall seemed endless as she continued walking. then again it was meant for families to rent out, i don't know how Todds parents owned this; they most likely are rich enough to buy a mansion, but they chose to live in addison apartments.

reaching the end of the hallway she stopped and looked at the big door in front of her. her hand clutched onto the door knob and slowly opened the door and revealed a library.

her eyes lit up as she opened the door fully to see how big it was. books covered the whole room; there was even a second floor.

when Y/n was a kid, she would read to distract herself from her dads screaming. she loved reading. but most story's had a happy family, with a dad that was so kind and wouldn't yell at his kids. she envied the main character for having a happy family. she longed for a dad who would read her stories or comfort her when she was sad.

reading was an escape from reality, she would even replace the name of the main character to hers' just to feel like she was loved from a fictional dad.

walking in further to the room she went to the first shelf that was closest to her. scanning through all the books, one caught her eye.

pulling it out she read the title. 'Monsters' by David A. Robertson. she read this book before. it was a book series, but she wasn't able to read the last book.

Y/n decided on reading the book again just to ease her mind.

looking around the room she saw a few couches in the middle of the room. walking towards the couches she took a seat and got comfortable before opening the book.

reading the first few pages it made her feel happy to re-read a book she loved when she was 14. the book was about a high school kid Cole. he got a mysterious message from an old friend begging him to come back to his hometown. when he does move back he sees that his community is in chaos: a series of shocking murders and mysterious illness ravaging the residents, and reemerging questions about Cole's role in the tragedy that drove him away 10 years ago. with the aid of his two friends, Cole tries to figure out his purpose, and unravel the mysteries he left behind a decade ago. (read this book before, it was rlly good. tbh u can choose any book i just thought of this one)

8:15 pm

Y/n had been in the library for quite some time now; she told Sal she would come downstairs in a bit, but she wanted to avoid seeing the others. she still felt a bit embarrassed and bad for throwing Ash's bottle of wine.

sighing heavily she placed her book down and made her way out of the library. she trudged down the hall deep in thought, thinking of what she would say to the others.

"oh there you are, i was just coming up to see if you fell asleep" Sals voice interrupted her from her thoughts, looking at Sals direction she smiled. "no i was actually reading, did you know they have a massive library here?" she excitedly told Sal. "i think Todd mentioned something about a library upstairs" he said as she got closer to the stairs.

"i think the others are waiting, they kept on asking why you reacted that way but Larry and i said to wait for you to explain. but if your not comfortable telling the others then thats totally fine." Sal said holding both her hands and giving a reassuring squeeze.

a small smile formed as the two of them locked eye contact "thanks Sally, it means a lot" she said and gave him a quick kiss on his prosthetic. she could see the faint blush form on his face through the prosthetics eye holes as he sheepishly looked away from her. she giggled and started going down the stairs dragging Sal along.
