Ocean has been keeping a close eye on Avery more frequently. She can’t risk any more random attacks especially when she, herself, experienced it and no one was there to help her through it. She doesn’t want Avery to experience the same thing especially since they seem new to it.

Ocean takes the bus to school given that she lives on the other side of town near the café she works at. So if she wakes up at a normal time, she would be considered late in her first class. Therefore, she wakes up at an unreasonable time to get ready only to find out Avery active on Tumblr and knowing they haven’t had any sleep yet. So whenever she sees that green dot that indicates that a person is active, she immediately sends Avery to bed. Which they obediently follow, too tired to argue.

But one day, when Ocean woke up to do her routine, including sending Avery to sleep, she didn’t see that familiar green dot next to her friend’s profile picture. She quickly sent a message saying “Glad you finally decided to sleep instead of napping before every class”.

But when she didn’t see Avery at school that day, she knew there was something wrong. Ocean knew that they always walk with Luna to school every morning so she decided to ask her regarding Avery’s absence. She met Luna sitting with Amelia and Iris under the tree in the garden. “Hey Luna, I know you always walk with Avery every morning and was wondering if you did this morning”.

“Sorry Ocean, but she didn’t show up this morning and we also walk with Iris now” Luna explained. “Didn't they say anything to you?” Luna continued. Ocean could sense the worry in all of their faces as she answered no.

Avery may not like school, but they’ve never missed a day. And the group knew they always have breakfast with their mom so they couldn’t possibly oversleep. So the group decided to stop by their house after school only to find no one home and thought maybe they went out with their mom.

As they were about to leave, a car pulled up in the driveway. They can see Avery with widened eyes staring at them through the windshield. Avery jumped out of the car as soon as it stopped and screamed at them. “What are you all doing here?!” Avery shouted. “Sweetie, I think you’re the one who owed them an explanation,” their mom said from behind Avery.

They realized their mistake and lowered their head and whispered “Well fuck”. An awkward silence fell over the group until Avery’s mom spoke up and invited them all inside.

Once inside, they all introduced themselves to Avery’s mom, who preferred to be called Vivian. Vivian explained that she and Avery were the only ones that live there but sometimes her girlfriend comes over and said the group was always welcome to come over.
