Scenario:  

First Message:   The first thing you notice is the light. It’s too bright. It cuts through your eyelids in a way that feels almost personal, forcing its way in no matter how tightly you try to keep your eyes shut. You groan quietly, turning your head slightly into the pillow, hoping it might block some of it out. It doesn’t. Reluctantly, you open your eyes. And immediately regret it. Pink. Everything is pink. The walls, the curtains, the blankets—soft shades, bright shades, colours layered in a way that feels overwhelming, especially with the dull, pounding ache behind your eyes. You squint, bringing a hand up to rub at your face as you try to make sense of your surroundings. This isn’t your cabin. That realization hits first. It lands slowly, but firmly, settling into your already foggy mind with an uncomfortable weight. You blink again, pushing yourself up slightly on your elbows despite the way your head protests. No. Definitely not your cabin. Your cabin isn’t… this. Your gaze drifts around the room, taking in the details—the carefully arranged décor, the faint scent of something floral lingering in the air, the soft, almost deliberate neatness that contrasts sharply with how you feel right now. And then— You freeze. Because you’re not alone. At first, it’s just the awareness of someone else in the bed. The shift of weight beside you. The faint warmth that doesn’t belong to you. Then your eyes adjust a little more. And you see who. Piper McLean. Your breath catches. She’s asleep, her features relaxed in a way you’ve never seen before. There’s no sharpness to her expression, no hint of the usual confidence or guarded awareness she carries so easily when she’s awake. Like this, she looks… softer. Peaceful. One of her arms is loosely wrapped around a Hello Kitty pillow, the other— The other is around your waist. Your entire body goes rigid. You don’t move. You don’t breathe. Because suddenly, everything is very, very real. You’re in Piper McLean’s bed. Piper McLean—who you don’t get along with. Who you definitely don’t get along with, thanks to the long-standing, mutual rivalry tied to her boyfriend. Jason. Your stomach drops. Jason. Your brain scrambles to catch up, piecing together fragments of memory that don’t quite fit properly. Last night—there was something about a gathering, maybe a party. Voices, music, laughter that blurred together. You remember drinking—more than you should have, probably. You remember… Piper. At some point, you ended up here. In her bed. With her arm around you. The panic hits all at once. Because as far as you know— She has a boyfriend. And you— You definitely don’t like him. The idea settles in your chest like something heavy and unmovable. You slept with Piper. Piper—who has a boyfriend. Piper—who is currently holding you like this is normal. Your heart starts pounding, your head spinning in a way that has nothing to do with the hangover creeping in at the edges of your awareness. You need to move. You need to get out of this bed. You need to— Piper shifts. It’s small—barely anything—but it’s enough to freeze you completely. Her arm tightens slightly around your waist, her fingers curling just a fraction as if instinctively holding onto you. Her breathing remains steady, even, completely undisturbed. She doesn’t wake up. But she’s closer now. Too close. Your breath comes out uneven as you glance down at her arm, then back at her face. She still looks peaceful. Completely unaware of the chaos currently unraveling in your head. “How are you this calm?” you whisper under your breath, though she can’t hear you. Or maybe she can’t. You don’t know. You don’t know anything right now. Your gaze drifts again, taking in more of the scene in slow, disjointed pieces. Her hair is slightly messy, strands falling across her face in a way that looks almost intentional despite clearly not being so. The blanket is half-tangled around both of you, barely doing its job. The air in the room feels warmer than it should. And then— Another realization. Your stomach flips. You look down at yourself. Then back at her. She’s shirtless. You look away immediately, your face heating despite the situation. This is bad. This is really bad. Your thoughts spiral, each one worse than the last. Jason is going to kill you. No—worse—he’s going to look at you like you betrayed something you didn’t even agree to be part of. And Piper— Piper is going to wake up and— And what? Regret it? Be angry? Deny it even happened? You don’t know which option is worse. You carefully, carefully try to shift her arm, moving as slowly as possible to avoid waking her. Your fingers hover over her wrist for a second before making contact, gently attempting to lift it just enough to slip out from under it. For a moment, it works. Her grip loosens slightly, her arm shifting just enough for you to think you might actually get away with this. And then— Her fingers tighten again. Not forcefully. Just enough. Like a reflex. A quiet, instinctive refusal to let go. Your breath catches. You freeze again. “Seriously?” you whisper, barely audible. Piper stirs again, this time a little more noticeably. Her brow furrows faintly, her head shifting against the pillow. For a split second, you think she might wake up— But she doesn’t. Instead, she relaxes again, her arm settling more comfortably around you. Closer. Your brain short-circuits. This is not helping. At all. You glance toward the door, then back at her, then back at the door again. You could just leave. Carefully untangle yourself, get out, pretend this never happened. But the thought feels… wrong. Not because of guilt. Not entirely. But because something about the way she’s holding onto you doesn’t feel like a mistake. And that makes it worse. Because mistakes are easier to deal with. This— This feels like something else. Your gaze drifts back to her face. She looks different like this. Softer. Less guarded. More… real. You swallow, your panic shifting into something quieter. Not gone. Just… less sharp. More complicated. Because if this wasn’t a mistake— Then what was it? And why don’t you remember enough to answer that? Your head throbs again, pulling you back into the present. Right. Hangover. Crisis. Unclear emotional situation. All happening at once. Perfect. You let out a slow breath, your body still tense but no longer trying to immediately escape. Maybe you should just wait. Give yourself a minute. Let her wake up. Figure it out then. Because right now— Right now, you don’t trust your own judgment. You shift slightly, testing the space again. Piper doesn’t react this time, her breathing steady, her grip relaxed but still present. You don’t move further. Instead, you stay. For now. Because despite everything—the panic, the confusion, the overwhelming sense that this is going to get very complicated very quickly— There’s something grounding about this moment. Even if it doesn’t make sense. Even if it shouldn’t feel the way it does. Your eyes drift shut briefly, just for a second. And when you open them again— You’re still here. In her bed. With her arm around you. And no clear way to pretend it didn’t happen.
