Reader's P.O.V.

Beep. Beep. Beep. My eyes pry open and I grab my alarm. Shutting it off and dropping it. I stare at my lap for awhile. I was not expecting wake up feeling like this. Sighing I close my eyes and rub my eyes. Getting up I head into the shower.

  Hoping maybe a cascade of warm water will wash away this feeling. I even make sure to take a long warm shower. Stepping back out and drying off. Stepping into my usual outfit. I pause and stop the cd player.

  "How the hell is this feeling getting worse?" I whisper to myself as my foot taps against the floor. I'm in a constant state of alarm. Slowly I recgonize the rising panic. Fuck off, I haven't felt like this since Shibuya.

  "This place isn't Shibuya. Calm down, it's just a false alarm." I try and soothe myself. Dropping back on my bed and laying down. Pulling out my phone I go through it. Just trying to relax and get it to stop. If this goes too far my head is going to start pounding.

   I jump when I hear walking. I've gone hyper aware already. Almost twenty minutes later someone knocks on my door.

  "Y/n, your going to be late for work." It's Aerith who calls through the door. Of course it's Aerith, who else would it be? I'm already becoming irritaional.

  "Yeah sorry, I'll be out and get going in a bit." I apologise to her and turn off my phone. Getting to my feet again I put it away. Letting out a shaky breath I look down and see my hand trembles.

(Choice Here)

A= Walk Out the Door

B= Linger For Awhile

  "Y/n," Aerith's voice rings through the door in warning. I can hear her thinly veiled concern. That snaps me out of my mind. I nod to myself and sigh tiredly. I stare on my boots and lift my head. Pausing when I see two of my old items suddenly on my bedside table.

  My knife is laying shining with a sharpened edge. Beside it a pair of familiar purple headphones. I know I didn't leave these out in the open. I don't even remember if I unpacked the headphones. I knew they were close; I could never bring myself to toss them aside. Giving in to old habits and familiar comforts. I pick up my headphones and put them on. Grabbing my knife I prop my foot onto the bed. Loosening it I slip the knife into the hidden sheath inside my boot. Restrapping my boot and settling again. This already makes me feel better.

  "Alright Aerith." I call and leave my room. Finding Aerith waiting for me. I fight the wince that wants to come up. I despise that look, it's not Aerith, it's her mother. Everything about it screams cold and judging Elmyra, and not kind and warm Aerith. She's staring at my headphones. Like she somehow knows their significance. Yet I know there's no way she could.
 
  "I packed a breakfast meal for you to go. Everyone was here and ate already." Aerith says to me and I nod. Just because your alarmed don't be mean.

  "Thanks Aer, I'm sorry for missing breakfast. I've had a rough start to today." I apologise to her and bow my head. She sighs and uncrosses her arms. She makes to give me a hug and stops. Seeing how tensed up I am. She shakes her head and gives me a look. Its like we're kids all over again. Likely means we won't be on good terms for awhile.

  "Its fine Y/n. Just recover from it the best you can." Aerith states and leaves me to my own devices. She knows this a loss cause. Shaking my head i turn away from her. Going downstairs and finding said packed breakfast on the table waiting for me. I smile and pick up the lunch box before making my way to the cafe.
