please don't be waiting for me, please don't be waiting for me, please don't be waiting for me... 

was the prayer y/n chanted as she made her way to the hedges - which thankfully, didn't stop her this time.

the shadow she spotted on the ground might just have been worse than miles.

flora. 

young, innocent flora; who'd been stuck in this house for years, who didn't know a single thing about bullying....

y/n tried her best to cover the blistering scars with her sweater in vain as flora appeared.

"hi, y/n!" she beamed up at her, dark eyes glistening. 

y/n bent down to see.

"hi, flora! where's miles?" flora smiled again.

"he's in the hallway."

y/n bit her lip and craned her neck to see; there he was, waiting for her, staring at the telephone on the wall.

"is there a back entrance?" y/n thought for a bit as flora stared up at her, "i'm playing hide and seek with miles." 

she wasn't, she didn't want him to see her like this. 
she was supposed to be the strong one.

"lots!" flora grabbed her hand, too excited to notice the soft whimper, pulling her through the back door, straight into y/n's room.

"wow, flora, you know this place well, don't you?" grinned y/n. flora nodded, smiling. "don't tell miles i'm here," she smiled again, pressing a finger on her lips. flora nodded once more, a big smile plastered on her face. "shh."

"shh!" repeated the girl with a giggle, vanishing as quickly as she came.

y/n pulled the door handle and quickly stepped inside before collapsing on the bed in a whimper.
