I'm back?
------

Kathryn pushes open the door and you see a room filled with shelves of various sized bags and boxes. In the centre of the room is a simple desk and, standing behind the desk sits a figure, hat resting lazily over their face, feet propped up on to the desk.

"Bailey!" Amy calls out to the figure, causing them to jump.

"Well hello." They respond. "Ah, fresh meat, I see." You shuffle your feet slightly, nervous and not too sure how to respond.

"Bailey, this is [Y/N]" Amy introduces after an eye roll, Kathryn wandering into the shelves in search of something. "[Y/N], Bailey is in charge of supplies and stock-take. Anything we find or collect gets brought here so they can make sure we know exactly what we have."Bailey stands and walks around the desk to you, bowing deeply as they stop to take your hand and place a feather-light kiss there. So you simply stand and stare, not sure what to do. 

"So, supplies." They punctuate their sentence with a clap and move back to the desk. From the desk, they pick up a moderately sized backpack and a list with the word 'female' printed on the back. "Let's get you organised then."

You follow Bailey as they lead you around the shelves, leaving Amy to search for Kathryn. They let you pick out a clean, white pillow and thin, flannelette blanket from one shelf, carefully folding them so they can fit in the bag, taking up as little space as possible. On top of that goes a standard towel as well as two t-shirts, a long-sleeved shirt, a pair of shorts, plain black jeans and a slightly-too-big hoodie.  Finally, a toothbrush, travel toothpaste, disposable razor and a small travel shampoo are placed on top. Bailey zips up your bag, passing it over to you. You sling the bag over your shoulder and continue to follow.

"And finally, shoes and socks." They turn and walk backwards, gesturing to your muddy, holey, fraying shoes. You flush in embarassment at the state of your shoes. "Size?" You tell them your size and they stare at the pair of high shelves of boxes before making a small noise of victory and pulling a box down. Inside the box is a pair of simple, brand new running shoes. When you close the box, Bailey immediately places a pair of white and a pair of black ankle socks on top of the box. They lead you back to the desk and you see Amy and Kathryn there too. In Kathryn's arms is a couple of rolls of bandage and a medical supply box. 

"We need more supplies in the medic room. Could you write these up for me Bailey?" Kathryn gestures to Bailey with her arms as she talks.

"Sure. Oh and [Y/N], you can take my seat and put on your new shoes if you want." They walk around the desk and push the chair around the desk for you then opens a drawer, pulling out a thick folder. You gladly sit down as Bailey begins to fill out a page in the very official looking folder. 

After a few minutes, your new shoes are on and Bailey has finished filling out the paperwork.

"Well, it was a pleasure to meet you." They hold their hand out over the desk to you and you kindly shake their hand. 

"You too." You politely reply.

"Thanks again, Bailey." Kathryn says from behind you and you turn to see Amy giving them a polite wave. The three of you leave and Amy and Kathryn lead you out of the room, down more hallways.

So...... it's been a while, huh? 
This book honestly was completely forgotten by me until someone commented earlier this month that it's been eight months. 
I'm in my last year of high school this year and even my writing blog on Tumblr was pushed aside. School is going to be kicking my ass this year but I will try to get at least 2 more chapters out this year. I know that's not much but knowing my track record...
I do hope to keep revisiting this book and maybe finally get it finished.
Believe it or not but I have written an ending for this book. Like, the entire final chapter is written in a notebook, waiting for me to finally get to it. 
And this chapter was so short my word. I literally wrote this super sick. 

On a different note, guess who's seeing the You're Welcome Tour in November? Me!! I'm honestly so excited because the gang has never been to Australia before and this will probably be my only chance to see them in real life.

But ah.... sorry for the lack of updates. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and to everyone who has stuck with my shitty uploading, thank you so much (we are at 3k reads! that's actually so crazy). 

For all intents and purposes, this book is still technically on hold
