Maggie's head fell on the coffee table with a loud thump, she woke up startled on the floor of the living room. Her books were scattered all over along with about six cups with remnants of plain black coffee that rested in the corner of the table, hanging on for dear life. Maggie rubbed her head, irritated that she'd fallen asleep. You see, when Maggie got out of the bathroom, all drained, she couldn't find it in herself to give into sleep, she'd been a bit paranoid about checking on Jackie and Regulus throughout the night before, but now it was a constant thought in her head. She couldn't get the image of the four bodies, bloody and mangled out of her head.
The truth was, even though last night was the first time she saw dead bodies in their beds, she'd seen reports of these a lot over the summer — it had snapped something inside her. She got reminded of the fact that you were never truly safe, not even in your home, not even with the people you trust. So, she'd wake up in the middle of the night and get the urge to check, she'd turn around and check on Jackie, and then recently she'd gotten into the habit of peeking inside Regulus' room before she went out for a run too. Just to make sure that he's not... that he's not dead. She did worry for him so much.
Yesterday made it even worse, she couldn't let herself go to sleep, so she'd just pounded cups upon cups of coffee (that she hated, mind you) to stay awake, and because she had already planned to stay awake anyway she decided she might as well do some studying to keep her up. The portrait to the Quarters opened, and Jackie walked in rubbing her eyes, she looked around to see Maggie there and realization finally dawned on her face.
"Oh, shit!" Jackie exclaimed, she rushed to Maggie's side immediately and scanned her face for any wounds, "Shit, Mags, I completely forgot you were going to the mission yesterday, I stayed over at Pandora's dorm and her roommates were out so I'd—"
"Jackie, it's alright," Maggie said, she punched the bridge of her nose because of how much her head was bothering her, it felt like someone was scooping the inside of her head and then banging on her skull. It was a thick, pulsing, and incredibly strong headache that plagued her. "Fucking hell, I need an ibuprofen or something."
