Prompt: this continues from the one shot 'hopeful' 

AN: this was requested by my Chaos Houdini @Miallottestan 

You tossed and turned in the bed that you now called your own since you now lived with Autumn and Charlotte after they signed the paperwork to become your foster parents, after tossing for a few more minutes you decided to get up from the bed and slowly made your way down the stairs but made sure to be quiet so you didn't wake up Charlotte and Autumn since it was 2 in the morning and this was your first night at your new placement so you knew from past placements you don't sleep for the first few nights but also with your last foster placement the foster dad had you on a strict schedule where you had to clean whilst everyone slept before making sure that your foster siblings got to school on time before you headed of to work and it was at work you would sleep on your breaks to just go back to the foster home to tidy and clean again. Walking down the stairs you made it to the living room and moved to sit on the floor in front of the couch, once you had sat on the floor you brought your knees to your chest and looked around the living room taking in the different pictures that were around the room before letting out a sigh and jumped slightly when you heard "you okay" come from behind you which made you look behind you to see Autumn stood behind the couch looking down at you with a confused look on her face; turning back to look away from Autumn you nodded before resting your chin on your knees and heard soft footsteps "can I sit" you heard Autumn ask and you glanced at her quickly "it's your house" you mumble before looking forward again and heard a soft sigh which was followed by "it might be my house but this is your home and if your not comfortable with me next to you than I won't sit next to you and would sit away from you Y/N/N" come from Autumn which you nodded at "I'll sit here instead" you heard her say before seeing her sit opposite you on the other side of the coffee table so there was some distance between you both which made you relax subconsciously, you watched Autumn for a few minutes before looking away "so why are you awake" you heard Autumn ask gently and you let out a sigh before responding "I struggle to sleep in a new home but also my sleep schedule is a bit messed up thanks to my previous foster home" you say quietly and took a glance at Autumn to see her frowning slightly "I can go to sleep though, I'm sorry for being up" you say since you couldn't tell if Autumn was mad at you for being out your room and you moved to stand up but stopped when you heard "hey it's okay sit back down, I'm not mad at you being awake" come from Autumn which made you sit back down but you made sure to keep your eyes on Autumn's body language just in case you needed to run from her.

Making sure to keep an eye on Autumn you sit back down on the floor "why is your sleep schedule messed up" you heard being asked gently by Autumn which made you fidget slightly "my foster dad made me stick to a schedule where I was up all night cleaning than in the morning I would make sure my foster siblings was up and ready for school before getting them to school, once they were at school I would come here and work before going back to that home to just repeat everything, I slept on my breaks at work" you explain to Autumn with a shrug at the end of your explanation "how long.." you heard Autumn start to ask but you quickly cut her off "from the very first day until now" you say quickly to Autumn "what else is keeping you awake" you heard her ask "nothing" you say to her before standing up "I'm just going to go back upstairs" you mumble under your breath and before Autumn could say anything you rushed out the room and made your way back to your room. Rushing up the stairs you made it to your room before shutting the door behind you and slowly made your way to window and opened it making sure to not make too much noise and once it was opened enough you climbed out the window before climbing on to the roof and made sure you wouldn't fall off the roof when you were situated on the roof before laying down and looked up at the stars and let yourself relax knowing that you couldn't be found easily by anyone, you didn't know how long you were on the roof for but you had watched the sunrise and you were glad it was the weekend so you didn't have to rush round to get ready for work and could take your time with getting ready for the day, however what you hadn't realised is that Autumn and Charlotte had invited everyone for breakfast and your cover was about to be blown by Marjorie and Reece turning up.
