“Alright, I should make a few calls, let people know what’s happened and where I am. Why don’t you go change?” he suggests. I glance down at myself and realise that my clothes are all dirty from where I sat on the ground. I nod and make my way to my room. I quickly trade my skirt for my unicorn pyjama bottoms and my shoes for slippers. I grab a random white tank top and chuck it on instead of my pyjama top. Now that I’m inside, the long sleeves seem too warm. I can hear Bellamy on the phone in the other room. I am pulling a brush through my hair when he knocks on the door.
“Come in.” Bellamy opens the door cautiously and looks around as he does. His eyes widen when he sees my huge collection of pillows, blankets and other comfort items. I cross my arms and glare at him.
“Don’t you dare laugh!” he shakes his head and hold his hands up in front of himself defensively.
“I would never! I was actually thinking how much I approve.” I raise an eyebrow and he

of comfort.” I’m still a little suspicious, but I accept his explanation.
“I spoke to my sister. If you don’t object. I’ll stay here tonight and in the morning we can head to the compound together. I believe you made plans to meet up with my sister?” I nod. She had offered to show me around the compound a little more.
“She didn’t think it was weird that you were only dropping me home now?” I ask, curious. Bellamy shrugs.

my pillow is breathing. My eyes fly open and I shift around to see Bellamy lying half beside me half under me, still asleep. I am lying partially on his chest with his arm flung over me. My laptop is sitting on the edge of the bed, still open, although I think it’s gone flat since it wasn’t plugged in and the screen is black. We must have both fallen asleep while watching Netflix. Am I going to be able to move without waking Bellamy? I consider our positions. It seems unlikely. Seeing no other choice, I carefully sit up,
