Enid's POV
I'm up at the ass crack of dawn today and I couldn't be happier.
Last night we got back to Nevermore, and unlike when we drove to San Francisco, we did not stop once on the way back. So, when me and Wednesday finally walked back into our dorm room, all we could do was sleep, and that's what we did yesterday. Neither of us liked the idea of sleeping in separate beds, so we slept in hers. I wasn't super excited to sleep in a bed that's literally rock hard, but I got over it pretty quickly. 
Wednesday's usual a very light sleeper, but luckily for me, she was super tired yesterday. Even if she wasn't, she doesn't normally wake up for another hour anyways. Carefully, I unwrap my arms around her body and hold my breath as I slide out of her bed. Not really sure why I held my breath, but it felt right in order to not wake her up. 
I stand to the side, taking a moment to glance down at the pretty girl before turning around. You're probably wondering why I'm up so early in the morning. Well, I've decided to make Wednesday breakfast in bed, or the best food I'm able to make with what I'm working with.
It goes without saying that my girlfriends had a really rough couple of days, after Tyler and all of that. I'd be lying if I knew exactly how to help her out. I mean, there's only so much advice I can give about dealing with trauma without having dealt with my own. So, I'll try my hardest to make sure she feels loved, in every single way. That starts with breakfast in bed before the first day back at school. 
I asked her if she wanted to skip today, I doubt her mother would have minded, but she insisted yesterday that she didn't. "My academics will keep my mind at ease," is what she told me. For a second, I thought she had been lying but then I remembered Wednesday really does feel at peace when learning and doing her schoolwork, so I didn't question it any further. 
I turn around and walk over to my end of the room. Climbing over my bed, I reach into my mini fridge and feel around for the waffle mix that I had put together late last night. I know Wednesday likes waffles, even if she strongly opposes pancakes. I grab the mix out of the fridge, and I make sure to take out a box of raspberries.
On the topic of the drive back, Wednesday had her first therapy appointment yesterday, you know, the one I signed her up for last week. Before she joined the zoom meeting, she asked me if I could sit in with her. Obviously I didn't say no, if she was most comfortable doing it with me there, then there I was going to be. Although, it was strange doing it in the car, especially surrounded by Yoko, Easton, and Reggie. But they all put their headphones in and paid no mind to the conversation, at least that's what they said they did. 
Besides that, I'd say the call went well. Wednesday didn't seem to outwardly hate the therapist, Rachel I think her name was? Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was Rachel. She was nice, and she seemed to be understanding of well...everything I guess. Before the call, I told Wednesday that she didn't need to talk about anything she didn't want to, but she spoke about everything. I guess it's a way of coping, which makes sense, but I think it was an in the moment thing.
After I grab all that I need, I tip-toe over to the door. Making as little noise as possible, I open the door and walk into the hallway, making sure to shut and lock it behind me. If I could, I would make all this stuff in our dorm, that way I wouldn't have to do all of this sneaking around. However, I don't have the proper supplies to make a full-on breakfast in bed. As annoying as that might be, at least I know people who do. 
I turn to the left, walking to the dorm room right next to me and Wednesday's, also the first one in Ophelia Hall. I don't bother knocking, and knowing this door is never locked, I just walk in. Maybe not the smartest idea, but I told them last night that I would be coming in to use their waffle maker.
