Ellestial fell asleep with tears dried to her skin. The thought of Jays words clouding her mind. She couldn't get him out of her head, and she could still feel his lips on hers.

The next morning the snow had covered the town in a soft blanket of white. The sun making it glimmer in the morning light. Ellestial got up and stretched, looking through her apparently open window to see this beautiful view. She woke up happy, thinking of all the good things that will come today, hoping to suppress the pain and joy of last nights walk.

It was a strange season for all of the town as this was their first snow fall even through there was only 10 days until Christmas. The fun, cold joy of Christmas was nearly upon them.. But so were the accidents.. She could remember how many different times the news has interrupted her shows with new information about new accidents. It was frightening to go onto the streets alone with all the icy roads and sliding vehicles.

Ellestial grabbed her clothes and walked out of her room and down the hall to the available washroom. She was quick on her feet since she only had garments on. She stepped in and shut the door, turning around on her heel to see Jay standing in her way. He was brushing his teeth when she walked in and now his eyes were wide, jaw open and a deep blush coloring his skin. Ellestial froze, staring at him in disbelief.

"O-oh my god.. oh my fucking god.." she whispered. She flew her hand behind her and flailed around trying to find the door handle. Once she latched on she was out and down the hall in less then a matter of seconds.

Jay stood frozen in his spot, his brain trying to process what just happened when he heard a door slam. The noise of the door slamming woke Jean up. Soon opening the door and walking out into the hallway.

"What the hell just happened..?" He questioned, sleep locking his eyes shut.

Jay just stared, closing his mouth. He slowly turned away, spit and washed his face and toothbrush before walking out, "n-nothing..!" He stammered, veering around the corner and to Ellestial's door.

Jean shook his head and crossed his arms, turning around and walking into his and Stacy's bedroom. Before he shut the door he heard Jay knocking on Ellestials door and whispering. He shook it off and closed his door.

"Elle... I'm so sorry...! I didn't know you'd be up at this hour..." Jay exclaimed through the door.

"Can you move away from the door and close your eyes...?" She whispered back.

"Why..?"

"I'm gonna go in the shower and your blocking me from getting out of my room.."

"Eh...! Ok!"

Jay moved aside, and turned around, closing his eyes tightly as he heard her run out of her room and into the washroom. The door slamming slightly and the click of the lock echoing through the hallway. Ellestial slid down the back of the door and sighed, blushing deeply. Tears of embarrassment trickling down her cheeks.

Jay sat down and sighed as well before shaking his head. He cleared his head of any memory of what just happened and walked down the stairs. He walked into the kitchen and grabbed a plate from the cabinet, preparing to make some toast for himself.

Ellestial wiped her eyes before standing up and walking over to the mirror, looking at the scars that scavenged her body before turning around and turning on the tap for her shower before stepping in and closing the curtain.

***

Jay spread the plum jam onto his toast once it popped out of the toaster. He finished spreading a thick layer of jam onto his toast as Stacy walked down the stairs, sleep plastered on her face. Robin not far behind her, her hand gripped onto Stacy's shirt.

"Good morning, Jay!" She hummed, rubbing her eyes.

"Hmm." He responded not making eye contact.

"Did something happen between you and Elle? I heard the door slam.."

"U-uhm.." Jay blushed, grabbing his toast in one hand, "yea.."

"What did you do?"

"I saw her..." he coughed, unable to get the word out, "n... N.. N-naked.."

Stacy's eyes widened, her feet frozen to the ground. Jay put down his toast and placed a hand on the back of his neck. Robin walking to the living room and laying down on the couch.

"She walked into the bathroom while I was brushing my teeth.. She obviously didn't know I was in there until.. Yea.."

When the last word escaped Jays mouth, Stacy was back up the stairs and knocking on the bathroom door, only to get no response as the shower blocked out the noise. After a few minutes the water was turned off and the sound of the curtain scratching across the rusted metal bar was heard. Ellestial stepped out of the shower and reached for her towel, the clinking of metal hitting the bottom of the tub floor.

After drying herself off, she put her hair up in the towel and threw on her clothes, getting ready for the day. She unlocked the door and walked out of the washroom, shutting off the bathroom light and turning on the fan before enclosing herself into her room. She quickly put her stack of clean clothes in her chestnut stained wood dresser, before leaving her room and walking into the kitchen. She was greeted by Stacy's worried face and Jay's tomato red cheeks. Only moments later, Jean thumping down the wooden stairs.

"What do you need help with?" He asked, looking at the already set table covered in steaming food, "oh.. Never mind.."

Stacy took her gaze off Ellestial and looked over at her husband and smiled, "Yep! We already had everything made and waiting. You slept in longer than usual."

"Mmm." He said in response, nodding his head, walking over to the table and sitting down next to Elle.

Ellestial moved her chair a little closer to Robin to give more room from Jean to sit down before beginning to eat.

***

After everyone was finished eating, Ellestial helped with the dishes and putting the left overs away before heading back up to her room. As she took to the steps she noticed her sleeves still up, and quickly pulled them down over her hands.

As usual she barricaded herself in her room and stuck to her phone, reading her messages and checking YouTube and other media. She nearly jumped when she heard Jean call her name.

"Whatcha need, Jean?" She called back.

"Come here would you?" He asked, calling from the washroom.

"Mmm." She mumbled to herself before walking out the door. Once she reached the washroom, she noticed that Stacy was in tears before hastily being pulled to the side.

Her eyes connected to the bathtubs floor and what she saw was enough to make her collapse. On the bottom of the floor was her razor, and the bathtub floor stained a slight pinkish red.

"What is this, Elle?" Jean asked, worry mixing with his stern voice.

Ellestial wouldn't make eye contact and clenched her fist tighter together over her sleeve. Jean noticed her mistake and grabbed her arm, pulling the sleeve up. His eyes widened, nearly reaching the size of Stacy's before he let go and took a few steps back. Ellestial took that moment to pull her sleeve back down, and rushed out of the room. She bolted down the stairs, around the corner and into the entrance way before Jay grabbed her.

"Elle? What's wrong..?" In response she slapped his hand away and whipped open the door before disappearing into the whiteness.

"ELLESTIAL!"
