It didn't take long till Aurora was knocking on my door. "Thanks Aurora." Swiss said and exited the room quickly. "Heey Isla, is everything okay? Swiss was really mysterious on the phone" Aurora asked as she stepped into the room. "Yeah, all good." I said. "You've been crying?" She asked worriedly walking closer to me. "Is it that clear?" I asked. "Yeah, is everything okay?" She asked. "Yeah." I answered. "So, what do you wanna do?" She asked, sensing I really don't wanna talk about it. "I don't know." I answered. "Would you fancy a movie?" She asked. "Yeah, why not." I said. "All my movies are in my room, but I can go get them." She smiled. "I can come to your room too. So you don't have to move anything." I said. "That'll work too, but just heads up, Phantom might be there since we're still sharing the room." She said, rolling her eyes. "I don't mind." I said, showing her a smile. "Okay then, let's go." She smiled and took my hand, leading me to the hallway.

 "How long are you going to be sharing rooms?" I asked. "Ugh, I have no idea. Like, I don't mind having Phantom around, but he keeps making a mess." Aurora complains. "What about Swiss?" Aurora asks. "It took time to get used to him, but now, I don't mind." I answer.

When we got to Aurora's room I sat down on her bed as she went to pick up a movie. "Do you like Disney movies?" Aurora asks. "Yeah, they're okay." I answered. "I know they are like for kids, but they're my favorites." She smiled. Her smile and her whole personality are so genuine. I can only admire that.

Aurora ends up picking Encanto. I'm not even sure if I have seen this movie before. We settle down on the end of her bed. It was now around 8pm. We had watched the movie for maybe 20 minutes when Phantom entered the room. "Oh, hi Isla." Phantom said. "Hi." I said, giving him a wave. "What are you doing?" "Phantom asked. "Watching a movie, you can't play now." Aurora said. "I wasn't going to." Phantom answered. "Imma watch with you." Phantom smiled. I didn't have time to say anything when Phantom suddenly jumped on the bed, halfway over me. "PHANTOM" Aurora screamed. I was squashed under him. "Sorry sorry, I'll move." He laughed, moving a little bit to the side, still sitting side by side with me.

"What are we watching?" Phantom asked. "Wait, don't tell me." He said, before we had time to answer. "This is the one with Bruno and the rats." Phantom said. "Mhm." Aurora hummed. "Aurora. You've watched this movie literally three times since we got here." Phantom said. "I really like it." Aurora said, a sweet smile on her face. "You're always playing the same games, how is this different?" She asked. "Of course it's different." Phantom laughed. "I'm not going to argue about this with you." Aurora said, turning to look at the screen. "Hey Isla. I was wondering if you could help me with another song too, maybe tomorrow or when you have the time?" Phantom asked, whispering. "What song?" I asked. "Ritual." He said.

I thought about it for a while. I don't know if I will feel comfortable going there again anytime soon. "If we can practice in my room. I don't think I can come to the band room." I said. "Oh, why is that?" Phantom asked. "I don't wanna talk about it." I said. "Okay, well, your room it is." He smiled.

The movie kept going, but I started to feel really tired. I tried my everything to keep my eyes open, but it was no use. Phantom snoring next to me, leaning on my shoulder didn't help at all. I ended up falling asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, but I woke to the sound of a door closing. When I woke up a little better, I felt footsteps. I rubbed my eyes and looked around me. I wasn't in Aurora's room anymore. To my surprise I found myself in Swiss' arms. "Swiss?" I asked, confusedly. "Yeah?" He asked. "What time is it?" I asked. "It's 10pm." He answered. "You were with Copia all this time?" I asked. "Yeah, we had a long chat." He said. "Okay." I sighed, not even wanting to know more. "You know, I have legs too." I said. "I'm aware." He laughed. "I can walk by myself." I said. "I know." He said, not putting me down.

When we got to our room he walked to the bed and tossed me in. A little squeal left my mouth from the sudden movement. I stood up from the bed and walked to my closet. "Hey, where are you going?" Swiss asked, sitting on the bed. "To change." I said, turning to look at him. He sat on the edge of the bed and looked at me. It looked like he was looking at me from head to toes. He stayed silent, like he was deep in his thoughts. I started to take off my shirt, seeing if he notices how he is staring. Unlike I thought, he didn't do anything. He just kept looking. I took off my shirt completely and dropped it on the floor. Under my shirt I only had my bra. "Swiss?" I asked. It was like he was dropped back on the earth. He flinched and turned his gaze to my eyes. "You're staring." I said shyly. "Oh, I- I'm sorry." He said and quickly turned away.

I quickly finished changing and walked back to the bed. Swiss had already taken off his shirt and cuddled up under the blanket on his side of the bed. I lifted the blanket and turned to lay on my back. "Good night." I said to Swiss. "Night." He answered. I turned off the light on my nightstand and closed my eyes.

I kept twisting and turning, but I just couldn't fall asleep. I could tell Swiss had already fallen asleep. I watched the time, it was already 12am. I let out a deep breath and turned back on my back. I stared at the roof, not a sign of tiredness. I was also incredibly cold. I tried to wrap my blanket tighter around me, but it was no use. I let out a frustrated sigh. I turned on my side and moved myself closer to Swiss' side of the bed, wanting to get warm. My side hits his upper body and I can feel my body fill with warmth. I snuggle a bit closer, trying not to wake him up. Suddenly I can feel him lift his arm over my body, pulling me close to his chest. "You're cold." He whispered so quietly that I was having a hard time hearing it. "I'm sorry." I whispered. Instead of answering I could hear him mutter something, but I could make out what it was. He lets out a tired yawn and with that I can feel him wrapping his tail around my thigh. I lay there, staying completely still and closed my eyes.
