I wake up to the feeling of warmth, and not being able to move. I open my eyes to slits, but when they adjust quickly, so I open them fully. I squint my eyes in confusion, then I notice that everything is... sharper, more focused. I can hear the heartbeats of the people sleeping around me, I can feel their presence. The people who are sleeping around me, are six to be exact. They all in a dog pile on the couch. In a heep, it's a tangle of limbs. Well, it's a good thing I'm comfy. I stare out the window as I was stuck in the pile of limbs. Getting lost in my thoughts.

I saw the pillow coming, I just didn't have the time to react. So, it become friends with my face. I look around to see who had hit me in the face. Lily was the only one holding a pillow, so she was the suspect. I narrowed my eyes at her. "The hell was that for? I was just minding my own business when BAM, I get hit in the face with a pillow."

"Well, I wouldn't have needed to smack you with a pillow, if you would have responded. And it's a freaking pillow! Get over it!" Lily sat on the couch next to me, with he legs over mine. I then noticed that everyone else was gone. Hmm, that's not weird at all.

"Hey Lil, where is everyone?" I asked as I raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, Derek went to get cleaned up. Arie, and Cody are playing out back. Dawson and Alex are out getting breakfast. Everyone thought you were sleeping with your eyes open, but then you blinked. It was really creepy Avey." Lily explained to me as she shuddered at the memory.

I nodded my head once. "I woke up at my normal time, but then got lost in my thoughts. That is until I saw a pillow coming for my face."

"Ahh, explains a lot actually."

I could hear people coming up the front steps. Dowson and Alex voices floats through the door and into my ears, telling me who it was. "Well the boys are back with breakfast." The door opened then, and in walked Dowson and Alex.

Lily looks at me like I'm crazy. "I'll go get Arie, Cody, and Derek. Try not to predict the future while I'm gone."

I stick my tongue at her as she stands up. I sigh, and get up. Making my way over to the kitchen, where I see Alex and Dowson standing in the middle of the room, looking confused. I take the food bag out of their arms and make my way over to the counter, and set it down. "You know, you could help and not just stand there being completely useless."

"Is it safe?" I'm so startled by this question, that I stop what I'm doing and look up at Alex.

I give a dry laugh. "What?"

"Is. It. Safe?" Alex repeats the question again, and I was shocked.

"Of course it's not safe, the mold is everywhere in this place. Parts of the house is so rotted you can even be near them! But we haven't died yet, so it's safe enough." I shrug my shoulders at the end, and go back to unloading the food.

"Are all the house's like this?" Dowson asks from beside Alex.

I go to the cabinet and get out plates, and cups. "Yes, and no. Some are worse, some are a little bit better, but not by much. This house is the average for Misfits expectations. The one's that are really bad we don't go near, so floors rotted right through, can't breath, the supports are weak, part of the house has already fallen in. That sort of thing."

I started putting the food on plates, and filling the cups with water. "And before you ask, the water is safe. The Government made sure we had clean water, so anything that comes out of the taps is clean. But we do get the odd day when the water comes out brown, and muddy. But after a couple days it's cleared up."
